Chapter 279 - Emotional Reunion (2/2)
With a sigh, as she looked up, her eyes widened while her whole body turned stiff in a minute. Seeing that person looking at the arriving individuals with impatience quite visible in his eyes, Nora's whole body felt a rush of emotions.
The person was none other than Xin Xiaosi who had left the Xin Villa in a hurry in the morning. As for why he was at the airport, it seemed like he was waiting for someone. He looked really worried and Nora could tell since he had been cracking his knuckles which he always did in stress.
Nora wanted to take a step towards him but just as she lifted one of her feet, a figure rushed to Ah-Si's side stopping Nora right where she was. Nora couldn't see who she was but the way she held Ah-Si's hands made her clench her hands into fists. She felt her heart breaking into pieces all over again as she watched him hugging that person close before guiding her away from Nora's sight.
Someone bumped into her and the coffee in her hand directly stained her beautiful dress. ”I'm sorry. I'm really sorry about this,” said the stranger in her thick accent while she tried to clean Nora's dress and hands with her napkin.
Nora, however, wasn't paying any attention to her as she waved her off. She couldn't even feel the hot coffee that had spilled on her stomach. Apparently, the pain she felt within was stronger than the one she felt physically.
Before the stranger could say anything, Nora felt a gentle touch on her shoulder and tilted her head to look at that smiling face she had been waiting for.
”Hey, my little Nora!” Hearing that familiar voice filled with love and care, Nora couldn't hold back herself as tears slowly filled her eyes. Before she knew it, she was hugging the older woman. Her tears dripped from her cheeks to the older woman's white shirt. Her arms encircled around her shoulders to pat her back as she spoke in her soft elderly voice, ”I didn't think you missed me this much.”
Nora pulled away from her a little and sniffled, ”Mel, I really missed you a lot.”
Mel wiped Nora's tears and said, ”But why do I think that these tears are for someone else?”
”Are you doubting my love for you?” asked Nora while hiding her real feeling well within her heart. She didn't want Mel to worry, so she could only cry with this pretense of missing her instead of showing her real heartache.
Mel rubbed her head with affection and shook her head. ”I can never doubt my honest, upright and adventurous Dora the explorer!”
Nora rubbed her tears away to glare at Mel as she complained, ”You know how much I hate that name!”
Mel laughed at her reaction but said nothing related to it. ”Are you planning on staying at the airport?” Nora was suddenly reminded that they were standing in the middle of the arrival hall. So, she sheepishly shook her head and took the luggage bag from Mel's hands as she guided her towards her car.
