Chapter 404:
Jamison had initially asked for Norah, but upon her return, he signaled for Baylor to cover and presented
him with the opportunity, leaving him to wonder if the spot had originally been intended for Norah. But he
couldn't understand why she turned it down. Was it because she planned to give him the spot? Otherwise, why
would Jamison choose him and not someone else?
Baylor couldn't stop his mind from racing, and a smile crept onto his face.
Norah glanced up, her face bare of makeup and looking a bit confused.
“The spot isn’t set. Why do you think it’s mine? | have no idea. But anyway, congrats,” she said, offering a polite
smile.
“I'm busy right now,” she added.
Baylor was stunned. Did Norah just smile at him? Could she be interested in him?
He gently touched his cheek, convinced of his own appeal and charm that attracted women. As he observed

He concluded she was playing hard to get, waiting for him to make a move. So, he decided to sound her out after

Joanna had messaged her: “My family would like to invite you for a meal. [] When are you available? Shall we
dine together?”
The message from Joanna seemed to show she was happy with the report Norah had sent.
Norah responded, “Saturday night works for me. I'm available.”
Joanna answered, “Great! My parents will set it up. Thanks a lot! XX0O.”
Norah smiled at the message. Sean, sitting beside her, sneakily glanced at the screen when he saw Joanna's
name, then quickly acted like he wasn't interested.
However, the next message made Norah frown.
Baylor messaged: “Dr. Wilson, are you free? Want to grab dinner with me?” A flower emoji adorned the text.
They didn’t have each other's numbers, so Baylor started the chat through a group set up by Jamison.
Norah responded with a question mark, then followed up with, “I'm busy.”
Baylor sat on the bus, a sneaky smile spreading across his face. She was playing hard to get, he thought.
“Do you have a moment before | leave? Anytworks for me.”
But his message cback with a red exclamation mark. Norah had blocked him!
His expression twisted briefly. Her act of playing hard to get was too tacky. But he had to admit, he still found
himself drawn to her.
His thoughts were full of Norah's pretty face and figure. She must be into him, he thought.
Sean glanced down and caught Norah blocking someone.

“Did sidiot bother you?”
“Just a clown,” Norah replied calmly. She could see through Baylor's intentions.
“Oh, by the way, | heard about the Andrews family situation from Susanna. How did it turn out?”
His hand rested on her shoulder, pulling her close. He breathed in her scent, feeling content.
“The Carter family thought they could pressure Bryson into marrying Kathy by revealing a positive pregnancy
test to his family. The Andrews family had already consented, but | stumbled upon something intriguing. Kathy
had an ultrasound at the hospital before she got together with Bryson; it proves she was already pregnant.”
A spark of amusement lit up Sean's eyes.
“So, Kathy's family hoped Bryson could marry Kathy and you messed with their plan?”
“Yep! Initially, | failed to retrieve the surveillance footage, but stumbling upon something like this, countin
for sure.”
Joy lit up her lovely face, and Sean gently squeezed her cheek between two fingers.
“Honey, you're incredible.”
