“What's wrong with you? You've splashed wine on me!” The wine had ended up on Nora’s dress, and the surrounding people started to record the spectacle. Embarrassed, Nora snatched a shawl from a lesser-known lady nearby to cover her chest.
Then she stormed forward to confront Delbert.
Delbert had his back to her, and she didn’t know who he was.
Even so, his action in saving Harriet was a challenge to her. She decided to teach him a lesson.
“Hmm?”
Annoyed by the interruption, Delbert looked back and pursed his lips into a thin line.
Just one glance from him made Nora freeze and blush.
Mingling in the high society of Meawood City for so many years, she had never seen such a refined man before.
His presence caught the most attention, and the arrogant Nora couldn’t tear her eyes away from him.
