Chapter: 711
The walk-in closet remained untouched, per her instructions not to clean it.
Surveying the meticulously selected birthday gifts from her mother, Norah's mind swirled with myriad thoughts.
She swore she would avenge them.
In the evening, she departed from the manor by car.
As she drove past Elsa's car, she noticed Elsa appeared content, her visage radiant with a blush of satisfaction.
Upon learning of Norah's departure, Elsa's mood soured. “Wasn't she meant to celebrate my birthday? She left without even staying for dinner. Does she have a problem with me?"
Mindy cast a sidelong glance at her. “Who cares if she stays or goes?
I just hope she never returns. She's irritating to behold."
“Oh, Mom, have the guys woken up yet?"
"They're all passed out in bed. I don't understand why Norah chose to leave while intoxicated."
"Given their state, let's postpone dinner a bit. I think I'll go for a massage."
Elsa massaged her waist, feeling a bit sore after encountering a well -built man earlier who had provided her with considerable pleasure.
The venue for the dinner, organized by the Andrews family, was a fine dining restaurant in Glophia.
Joanna's family was already inside.
Joanna, holding the menu, took charge of ordering. “We'll have this.
Trust me, Norah enjoys this dish. And this one too, let's order this..."
She perused the menu, her orders flowing without pause, selecting dish after dish.
Bryson glanced around. “If it weren't for Solo Mio Restaurant being fully booked a month in advance, we wouldn't have ended up here."
"It is undoubtedly one of the finest establishments in town, without a doubt," Darwin remarked casually.
The nearby waiter smiled and nodded, his demeanor unchanged.
Solo Mio Restaurant's reputation surpasses that of all other restaurants in Glophia. They were accustomed to such comparisons.
Joanna concluded her order and checked her phone.
"Norah just messaged saying she's on her way and will arrive in about half an hour."
Darwin nodded in acknowledgment. "Excellent."
