Since saying goodbye to Oscar, Nora began to pick herself up and be true to herself.
In addition to managing her own restaurant, she focused on public welfare, and paid attention to those
who were less loved, especially children.
She donated money to some especially difficult children's welfare homes, helped them improve their
living environment and food, and helped them buy more study and daily necessities. She tried to send
more warmth and love to them.
At least once a month, she visited the Armure Welfare Center for Children, a two-hour drive from the
city center of City H, where children were in greater need of care.
Every time Nora went there, she would bring them more and better supplies and give gifts to each
child.
Alan knew that Nora was doing charity, and he was very supportive of her. Seeing her so positive, he
felt that she was changing bit by bit and becoming sunnier and more energetic compared with the past.
Her eyes were shining like bright stars now, but he felt distressed to see her work so hard.
On the one hand, Nora needed to run the restaurant well so as to have more income to invest in more
public welfare. Otherwise, she couldn't do it for a long time.
After dinner, Nora went to work in her study. Several hours later, Alan knocked on her study door.
"What are you doing here? I'm too busy to talk to you now." Nora was dealing with her business.
"You've been working for four hours. It's eleven o'clock now. Time to go to bed." Alan said, "You can
continue to work tomorrow."
"It's almost done. If you are sleepy, sleep first. Don't wait for me." Nora kept her eyes fixed on the
computer screen.
Alan felt he was completely ignored and slightly unhappy.
"Dear, can you pity me once and give me a loving look?" Alan complained about Nora's neglect of him.
"I'm working. Would you not be mischievous?" Nora gave Alan a sulky look.
Alan laughed happily. "You finally look at me."
"What's wrong with you?" Nora said sullenly.
Now Nora had tried to put the past behind her and get along with Alan, hoping to make a difference in
her life.
Although they were husband and wife, they got along more like friends.
Alan still respected her. He said they had married too soon and he would like to have a chance to get to
know each other again. Just like other couples, they could start falling in love, and to do what all lovers
would do, such as sending flowers, seeing a movie, dating, traveling...
He had to do what others could do.
He wanted Nora to feel what it was like to be in love.
Nora slowly opened her heart and took the bold steps. She was happy these days.
"Here you are." Alan put a gold bank card in front of Nora.
"What are you doing?" Nora didn't understand what he was doing.
"Doing charity work costs a lot of money, and you alone can't make it," Alan explained.
"I can hold on now, and I don't want to use your money." Nora pushed the card over. "You'd better feed
yourself with your own money."
"We are husband and wife, and what is mine is yours. If you are so serious, then just it as my donation.
It's that all right?" Alan changed the purpose.
"And have you had any money?" Nora looked at Alan from head to toe. What he wore was worth a lot
of money.
"Do I look like someone short of money?" Alan picked up the card, took Nora's hand, and placed the
card in her palm. "Just take it."
He knew that Nora was not someone who would easily speak out her difficulties, so as her husband, he
naturally took the initiative to help her solve the problems.
The Way family was not short of money, and even if he did not work, his monthly pocket money was at
least 100,000, not including other expenses.
Now he had worked in the Way Group. The annual salary was considerable.
"Alan, don't compromise yourself for me." Nora felt owing his debt to accept the bank card.
Alan sat down on the arm of Nora's chair and wrapped his hand around her shoulders. "What
nonsense? I am afraid of wronging you."
"You're getting sweet." It would be false to say that Nora was not touched at all, but she felt her heart
was very warm.
"I'll stay with you to finish this." Alan changed the subject, not wanting to add to her pressure.
Nora threw herself back into her work and quickly finished it.
"Come on." Nora turned off the computer.
Alan picked her up and said, "Mrs. Way, you must be tired."
Nora just smiled lightly. In fact, it was not hard to do something meaningful, but feeling more fulfilling
and satisfied in her heart.
Alan carried Nora to her bedroom and sat her down on the edge of the bed. He squatted down looking
at her, took her hand, and kissed the back of her hand.
"Have a good rest." Alan got up and left.
Nora sat with her hands folded, looking at Alan's back, and said with some embarrassment, "Alan..."
"Yes?" Alan stopped and looked back at her, looking serious.
"Have a good rest and thank you." Nora pressed her lips together. Her heart was filled with gratitude to
him.
"Dear, it's my pleasure to help you." Alan said with a smile, "Have a rest, or you'll look tired."
"Alan, as for the baby... I'll think about it." Nora didn't dare look into his eyes, and her ears were hot.
Alan's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly calmed down. "I'm so glad to hear you say so. But as
long as you don't want to give birth to a child, I won't force you. I'm happy to be with you alone."
"But if you want to give birth to a child as an exchange of interest with me, or if you want to repay me...
I can't accept it. I didn't expect anything in return for anything I did for you."
"The only thing I want is to be with you day and night. Don't talk about babies anymore."
"Alan, this is not my deal with you. I want to be a mother, too. I just didn't think I'd have the chance. I've
figured out what to do after experiencing so many things, but give me some time." Nora was implying
that she was ready to embark on a new life.
Of the three suggestions Rose gave, the first one was the best. Having a child with Alan was the best
choice.
Now that she had determined to repair her relationship with Alan, having a baby would take its course.
"You need more time to think it over. It's a big issue in your life." Alan was very serious.
"Yes." Nora nodded.
