Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 1653

"But I don't need your sympathy. If we were strangers, I would find you annoying. If we were friends, your consideration would be a burden to me. Especially since you're Estelle's classmate and her niece. I can't scold or hit you, what am I supposed to do?" Xavier's eyes were icy, his tone as cold as the night. "Or maybe you don't understand what I'm saying. We're not from the same world. Forcing ourselves together wouldn't make any sense."

The light in Norah's eyes dimmed, and tears welled up, threatening to fall. "So, are you never going to have a girlfriend or get married? Why can't you give me a chance?"

"I never thought about marriage. Even if I were to find a girlfriend and get married, it wouldn't be with you, do you understand?" His voice was indifferent and raspy, full of mercilessness.

"Do you really have a heart of stone?"

Norah stared at him with tear-filled eyes, her voice choked with emotion.

Suddenly her long lashes quivered, and a large tear rolled down her cheek. She backed away slowly, seeming somewhat disbelieving and heartbreaking. She turned and left.

Her figure disappeared into the shadows of the decorative plants and trees, her shoulders visibly shaking.

A sense of inexplicable irritation surged in Xavier's heart. He reached for his cigarettes, only noticing the 'No Smoking' sign when he took one out. He put it back and stormed off.

He called Mr. Hanson but didn't return to the private room, instead, he drove off in his own car.

The festive atmosphere filled the streets, which were vibrant and brightly lit. His black Jeep seemed like a lone wanderer, speeding through the crowd, racing away. The worldly noise and excitement seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Back at the bar, Zachary and the others were grilling meat and drinking, a lively scene.

"Boss, you're back. The skewers are just ready, delicious!" Zachary shouted.

"I've already eaten, you guys enjoy!" Xavier tossed his jacket over his shoulder and headed upstairs. As he passed the backyard, he inexplicably detoured into the yard.
