Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1543

Norah froze, then suddenly spun around to see Xavier in the crowd, holding a huge tub of popcorn in one hand and his phone in the other, looking at her.

People were bustling all around, but in that moment, Norah's eyes were only on Xavier. He was tall and imposing, yet he held this tub of popcorn that totally contradicted his image, calming her jittery nerves.

The popcorn was still steaming hot!

This scene, Norah would remember for many years to come, maybe even decades. She would never forget it!

Xavier hung up his phone and awkwardly handed her the popcorn. "Here."

Norah took it from him, and finding the situation amusing after her initial nervousness, she couldn't help but laugh.

"What's so funny?" Xavier frowned.

Cradling the large tub of popcorn in her hands, her eyes sparkling, Norah just shook her head.

"Ticket checking is starting, let's get in line!"

Xavier nodded. "Sure."

They had booked tickets late, and only seats in the back row were left. Typically, the back row was filled with couples who would start cuddling even before the movie began.

Xavier found himself surrounded by couples getting cozy, and even the people in front started getting closer.

With his sharp eyes and ears, he could hear things he wished he couldn't.

Everyone around was laughing at the comedy, except for Xavier, who remained serious.

Norah, who was naturally cheerful, burst out laughing while watching the movie, tears streaming down her face. It was halfway through the movie when she noticed Xavier's expression and whispered, "Need to use the restroom?"

Norah was close enough for Xavier to catch her mild sweet scent. His hand slightly clenched on the armrest. "No."

"Why aren't you laughing then?" Norah whispered.

Xavier frowned. "What's there to laugh about?"

Alright, some people just have a higher threshold for humour.

She handed him the popcorn. "Eat something then. If you can't laugh at a comedy, at least having something to munch on can ease the awkwardness."
