The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 334

Over half a month had passed, and they still hadn't seen each other.

Nora texted Maloney, "I miss you."

It took him half the day to reply.

On her way back to the hotel, Dean Faulkner from the research institute invited Nora out for dinner.

Nora happily accepted.

Approaching sixty, the dean had been a female textile worker in her youth; she exuded a simple, approachable aura while being incredibly sharp and capable in her work, making Nora genuinely enjoy dealing with her.

They met at a restaurant known for its local cuisine.

Over dinner, they discussed their upcoming work schedule.

Halfway through, Dean Faulkner suddenly asked, "Did something happen today?"

Nora paused, shaking her head. "No."

"You look like you have something on your mind," the dean said with a gentle smile. "The workload ahead is heavy. You won't have room to carry all that emotional baggage."

Nora quickly replied, "Don't worry, I'll adjust my state of mind. It won't affect my work."

The dean smiled, taking a sip of her tea. "I'm exactly three decades older than you, which means I've got a bit more life experience, and we've hit it off quite well. If there's anything you're struggling to figure out, you can always talk to me."

Honestly, Nora didn't have any major problems.

It was just that she had texted Maloney to say she missed him, and he had replied with a simple, infuriating "Okay," pissing her off completely.
