?Chapter 354:


    Norah was slightly unfriendly toward Luna, but she remained patient with Sha.


    She knelt down, wrapped Sha in her arms, and then stood up, asking casually, “Good girl, where is your daddy?” Sha wrapped her arms around Norah’s neck. “Daddy left; no Mommy and no me.”


    The child’s words were fragmented, yet the message was clear.


    Norah vividly remembered Luna crying at the birthday party, pleading with Dooley not to leave her, even using Sha’s tears to try and change his mind.


    “Have you and Dooley separated?”


    “We’re fine. Why bring up such a bad topic? Are you done with work? Haven’t you eaten yet?”


    Luna stepped closer, trying to link arms with Norah, but Norah subtly stepped aside.


    “I haven’t eaten, and I have no ns to eat at your house. Luna, what are you really up to?”


    She lowered her gaze, while Sha, in her embrace, looked up at her with big, innocent eyes.


    A child’s honesty was evident, and Sha clearly had a fondness for Norah.

    Luna’s words, however, seemed only partly truthful.


    “I’m just worried about you. Since you left, Mom and Dad have realized they didn’t show enough care, and now they’re eager to make things right for you! We were family once, weren’t we?”


    Luna didn’t seem embarrassed by the refusal.


    Instead, she kindly invited Norah to join her family for a meal, hoping to strengthen their bond.


    Unfortunately, Norah didn’t think highly of the Wilson family.


    “Did you not see my gift to Old Mr. Wilson? After the birthday party, I’m done with the Wilson family.” Luna had often tried to guilt-trip Norah in the past, but Norah never let it affect her.


    “I need to go now. Sha, remember to stay close to your mom, alright?”


    Norah had a way with kids.


    She spoke softly to Sha, set her down gently, and guided her toward Luna. “Keep an eye on your daughter, Luna. I don’t want a repeat of what happened at the birthday party.” Seeing the little one in tears, searching for her mother, was heartbreaking.


    With Luna as Sha’s mother, Norah was torn about whether Sha was fortunate or not.


    Sometimes, Norah could sense Luna’s love for Sha.


    Luna reached out but failed to touch even the edge of Norah’s clothing.


    “You’re being too cold, Norah. You weren’t like this when you wanted to marry into the Carter family. Have you turned against us because you’re now divorced? Is it somehow our fault that your marriage ended?”


    Luna struggled to maintain her understanding behavior, but she pulled herself together just in time.


    “Haha.”


    Norah chuckled as if she’d just heard the best joke. “When I married into the Carter family, it was all to fix your mistakes.”


    “And now you’re talking about me turning against you guys? Could you advise me on how to handle your family without being used of turning against you? Do you think I should just give you money and property? Sorry, that’s not happening.”


    The Wilsons must be dreaming if they thought that could happen!


    Norah’s harsh words cut Luna deeply, like a knife to the heart.


    If Luna hadn’t been carrying Dooley’s child back then, her family wouldn’t have needed someone from outside to step in and help.


    Luna’s expression changed several times before she finally managed a gentle smile.


    “Oh, sis, your words hurt our feelings. We really see you as one of our own. If you ever feel lost or tired out there, juste back. I’ll be like your closest sister, and Mom and Dad will wee you back with open arms.”
