Chapter 234

Nora picked up her cup of tea and took a few sips. The taste was bland. Although her sense of taste had slightly returned after taking the medicine, the tea still lacked the sweetness she liked. The doctor had already warned her that the side effects of this treatment could last a long time. Yet, in her desire for beauty, Nora had decided to endure it all. Just then, a gleaming black Rolls-Royce pulled up in the front yard. Michael stepped out, followed by Ruby from the other side of the car. Michael habitually extended his hand to hold Ruby's, but she shyly pulled back and said, "Don't." Michael's deep gaze lingered on Ruby's face for a few moments. Her hesitation and shyness were evident. She felt uncomfortable showing such affection in front of her relatives. "Alright, let's go," Michael said with a gentle smile, understanding her feelings. They walked through the front garden and entered the grand hall. Three large banquet tables were set up, and all the guests had already arrived.
