Chapter 1874
[ 627 words ]
“I almost thought that after spending just three days in the hospital, you’d managed to find yourself a wife.”
If that woman happened to be someone she disliked, it would definitely impact her relationship with Norris in the future.
It wasn’t like Phil. Phil was definitely going to have an arranged marriage, so his match would undoubtedly be someone who understood the bigger picture.
Even if they weren’t wildly passionate or deeply in love, they would at least maintain appearances flawlessly.
Besides, Claire didn’t interact with Phil very often; she was much closer to Norris.
Naturally, she hoped Norris would find a good partner so her own interactions with them would be easy and stress-free.
Dealing with someone like Honoria was just too exhausting.
“Never.” Norris would absolutely never fall for Honoria.
He completely despised the way Honoria used public pressure at the university to stir up drama and ruin his reputation.
And he certainly wasn’t going to fall into her trap.
Norris packed all of Claire’s belongings, and the two of them went to process the discharge paperwork together.
Once the paperwork was done, Claire sent a text to Valerie Winthrop, and they left.
Honoria had assumed Claire would come over to say goodbye to Valerie, and then she could suggest heading back to campus with Norris.
But she waited until noon, and Norris never showed up.
Extremely confused, Honoria made an excuse to step out, only to find that the room next door had been cleaned out long ago.
Norris had actually left!
Honoria was furious.
This man was far too difficult to pin down.
He truly lived up to his cold reputation!
If she had known this back then-
Honoria dug her nails into her palms, leaving behind deep purple crescent marks.
Claire and Norris returned to the apartment across from the university.
Norris helped her put her things away, leaving Claire with the sole task of picking her figs.
During the few days she had been gone, a few more figs had ripened.
“Owen is coming over in a bit.”
Norris finished organizing all of Claire’s belongings.
Claire was surprised. “Hasn’t Owen been really busy lately?”
Ever since the beauty cream she formulated hit the market, sales had been explosive for the past six months.
Claire had then launched the acne treatment cream.
Luminate kept rolling out new
products. With stellar reviews andet
incredible sales, everyone in the company was taking in millions of dollars.

As the boss of the company, Owen was undoubtedly slammed with work.
Fortunately, Caleb Lewis and the
others helped shoulder some of the pressure; otherwise, people would
ply started targeting his
company.
Of course, there was also the massive influence of The Churchill Family providing a safety net for Owen.
Without Owen even needing to ask, many business partners were more than willing to accommodate him.
That was the sheer financial power of The Churchill Family.
“He rushed to finish up his work a couple of days ago just so he could go to the hospital to take care of you.”
“He just didn’t expect you to get discharged so quickly.”
“Grandpa and the others are really worried about you too. Do you want to go home for dinner tonight?”
Norris respected Claire’s opinion.
If she didn’t want to go back, Norris wouldn’t force her.
But remembering how worried her grandfather had been, and all the phone calls from Victoria Churchill and Eleanor Churchill Claire felt its would be wrong not to go.
“Okay, let’s head back tonight. What are we eating for lunch?” Claire’s focus was always remarkably unique.
Norris flicked her lightly on the forehead. “Didn’t you say you wanted hot pot?”
Claire really did want hot pot. After eating bland food for so long, she felt like she
had moved into a convent and become a vegetarian.
“Owen is taking us to a hot pot restaurant owned by a friend of his.”
“His friend opened a place around here.”
Speak of the devil, and he appears. Owen’s call came right through to Claire’s phone.
