Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 2354

Norah would drink anything as long as it came from him, no questions asked, she twisted open the milk bottle and took a gulp. Henson raised an eyebrow at Norah, thinking his sister wasn't without her dramatic moments. Larry and his sister walked over, still catching their breath, "Staying home over the holidays has really taken its toll, definitely need to get back in shape!" Larry sighed dramatically, "Back in the day, I could play for three hours straight without getting this tired!" Norah laughed at his exaggeration, a playful hush escaping her lips. Larry was dazzled by Norah's laughter, "If you're into basketball, we should play more often, sis. I usually delegate work to my assistant, got plenty of free time!" He whipped out his phone, "Let's add each other on WhatsApp, we can chat there!" Xavier's brow furrowed subtly, his expression turning somber. Just as Norah was about to decline, Henson suddenly spoke up, "Sure, why not? It's not like you have anything better to do at home. Add Larry!" Norah shot him a glare. What was he playing at? "What are you waiting for? Larry's waiting," Henson said, taking Norah's phone and adding Larry on WhatsApp. "Bang!" Xavier effortlessly threw an empty water bottle into a trash can several yards away, asking indifferently, "Still up for basketball?" Carol's legs hurt like they were cramping, she couldn't go on, "I'm done." Larry, not wanting to appear weak in front of Norah, forced a smile, "I'll keep Mr. Hanson company!" Xavier grabbed a basketball and headed for the court. Carol and Norah sat on a bench to watch. Henson stood up, "Sis, you chat with Mrs. Carol, I'm going over there to practice shooting." Norah exchanged a knowing look with him, nodding, "Okay, just don't go too far!" Henson walked away with his air rifle. Carol, watching Henson's departure, smiled, "Your brother is quite handsome, he's going to be quite the heartbreaker." Norah smiled, her gaze returning to the court. Xavier played even harder this time, causing Larry to trip and fall, landing hard on his back, struggling to get up for a moment. Carol laughed awkwardly, "Mr. Hanson is really something!" Norah turned to Carol, "Do you like Mr. Hanson?" A flush crossed Carol's face as she nodded shyly, "Mr. Hanson is quite nice." "Have your family prepared a hundred million for the dowry then?" Norah asked seriously. Carol froze, "What? A hundred million for the dowry?" Norah looked surprised, "Didn't the matchmaker tell you?" "Tell me what?" Norah's expression turned regretful, "Sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Don't take it to heart." Carol leaned in closer, her eyes flickering with curiosity, "Norah, you seem like a very honest girl. Tell me, what's this hundred million thing about?" Norah glanced around before whispering, "I heard that the Hanson family's business is facing some trouble and they're looking to solve it through marriage. The previous prospect was willing to offer fifty million as a dowry to marry Mr. Hanson, but the Hanson family said it wasn't enough. So, you might need to prepare a hundred million to marry into the family!" Carol gasped, going pale, "Madame didn't mention any of this to me!" Norah offered a sheepish smile, "How could they possibly tell you that upfront?" Carol thought the Hanson family was a wealthy and prestigious household that could help her family's financial situation. She didn't expect the Hanson family to be a façade, looking for her to fill their coffers!
