Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 743

Chapter 743:

Manley accepted Marlin with gratitude, but Marlin, clutching at Norah's garment, inadvertently revealed a tattoo

of a rosebud.

“May | know your name? We'll find a way to repay you,” Manley offered, his voice filled with earnest gratitude.

With a tilt of her head and her lips a vivid red, Norah replied...

“Norah Wilson.”

“And what would you like in return?” Manley inquired.

Norah turned to leave.

Over her shoulder, she uttered, “You can inviteto dinner when I visit Silverdale.” That was the whole story.

With her eyes wide and her mouth agape, Yolande stammered, “Oh my god! Norah, you are incredible!”

She had sneaked into the kidnappers’ hiding spot all by herself and successfully rescued the hostage. Wasn't

that something straight out of a TV show?

Yolande wasn’t concerned about Norah lying to her; she could easily verify the story with her father later.

She also recalled that Marlin had been kidnapped years before. Since his rescue, he had grown increasingly

withdrawn, focusing solely on his work and seemingly indifferent to everything else.

Now, unexpectedly, he had fallen for a woman. Yet, it was all a misunderstanding.

As Yolande pieced together the entire saga, she becconvinced that Dolores had been mistaken for Norah all

along. After all, Dolores was too fragile to have rescued Manley and Marlin from those kidnappers. But why

hadn’t Manley told Marlin the truth?

Then Yolande shared with Norah the portraits she had seen in Marlin’s room.

“Marlin always said they were Dolores in the paintings, but when | saw you, something felt familiar, so | had to

meet and talk about it.”

Norah, visibly shocked, replied, “You mean, Marlin doesn’t remember me?”

Yolande was equally taken aback. “I don’t think he remembers, or else why would he be with Dolores?”

After bidding farewell to Yolande, Norah returned to her dormitory.

It didn’t cas a surprise to Norah that Marlin had denied knowing her; she figured he wanted to forget the

kidnapping incident.

What unsettled her, however, was the fact that she had risked her life to save him, yet he treated her like a

stranger. In comparison to Manley’s demeanor, Marlin’s attitude was downright chilling.
