Zachary’s face grew darker and darker as he marched out the door with Luisa in tow.
Norah watched Zachary’s retreating figure in shock as a knot of unease formed in her stomach. They had all been living together like family for years
now.
Zachary was always easygoing, always saving the best food for her. He knew what she liked and would even special order it for her on the weekends. They all got along like family in this small shop.
She was worried that misunderstandings would arise between Zachary and Xavier, so she wanted Luisa to leave, even if it meant swallowing her own grievances. But in the end, it still turned out like this.
Damian and the others watched Zachary’s retreating figure as their faces filled with worry.
“Don’t sweat it!” Estelle scanned the crowd, “Zachary will be back in no time!”
Xavier glanced at Estelle, “Did you do this on purpose?”
“If I didn’t do this, this situation would have just kept dragging on, and Zachary would’ve ended up more distant from everyone.” Estelle explained, “Letting him leave would make him see whether Luisa really likes him or not.”
Because she hit Luisa, Zachary would vent his anger on her instead of resenting Xavier.
Damian sighed, “Why’s Zachary so clueless?”
Norah turned to Estelle, “What brings you here?”
Estelle shrugged, “Just thought I’d drop by since I was free this afternoon.”
It was Sunday, and she guessed Luisa might come to the shop again. She was worried that Norah might clash with Luisa, so she came to check things
out.
Norah knew Estelle was concerned about her, which made her eyes redden again, “Since Zachary’s gone with Luisa, let’s leave too!”
She turned to Xavier, not meeting his eyes, 1 won’t be coming to the shop for a while.”
Xavier said in a low voice, “I was a bit harsh just now. Don’t take it to heart”
Norah didn’t say anything else and just bid goodbye to Damian and the others. Watching Norah leave made Damian feel a pang of regret, “Norah, we all trust you. Don’t quit on us!”
“We’ll see!”
With that, she left with Estelle.
Damian had hoped Xavier would try to keep Norah from leaving, but Xavier just watched their retreating figures without saying a word.
Back in Estelle’s car, she handed Norah a spare coat, “Let me take you home first, you’re soaked. Be careful not to catch a cold”
“Thanks.” Norah wrapped herself in the coat, her face pale and looking pitiful.
Estelle started the car and glanced at Norah’s downcast face. She said softly, Zachary’s been following Xavier for a long time. You know how Xavier is big on loyalty, so he’s stuck between a rock and a hard place right now”
Norah nodded, “I know”
She knew Xavier wasn’t taking Luisa’s side, but Zachary’s. But thinking about how he harshly asked her to apologize to Luisa still didn’t sit right with her.
“Zachary had a girlfriend who betrayed him, and that’s why he ended up in jail. Estelle said, “So Xavier has a lot of reservations. I hope you can
understand him”
Norah was surprised, “Zachary went to jail because of his girlfriend?”
“Yes”
Norah was genuinely taken aback. No wonder Xavier was so protective of Zachary and Luisa’s relationship
