At the same time, it struck her as odd. If the pet had belonged to his girlfriend, why would he give Norah a bracelet with so much sentimental value?
Gonzalez lowered his gaze, slowly stirring his coffee. "Unfortunately, we broke up."
Norah suddenly understood. Feeling a bit awkward, she quickly consoled him. "It's okay. As long as you two still love each other, you'll definitely work through whatever issues you have and get back together."
Gonzalez fixed his dark eyes on her and nodded slowly. "I believe you. We will get back together."
Norah immediately smiled, her expression warm and vibrant.
After finishing half her coffee, the phone on the table buzzed. She glanced at it, looked out the window, and then turned back to say goodbye. "My driver is here. I have to go."
"Norah," Gonzalez asked suddenly, "what's your major?"
Norah blinked in surprise but quickly answered, "Economics and Financial Management."
Gonzalez's gaze softened. "Could I ask you for a favor, then? I really need to learn more about that field lately. I come here every Saturday. If you have the time, could you tutor me?"
Norah hadn't expected to ever be someone's teacher. She readily agreed. "Sure! But I might not be free every single Saturday."
"That's fine. Just come whenever you have time," Gonzalez said.
"No problem!" she agreed brightly.
She grabbed her phone and prepared to leave. The man across from her stood up at the same time. Just like before, he effortlessly scooped her up into his arms, his steps steady as he carried her toward the wheelchair.
This time, Norah didn't make a fuss. She even looked up at him.
His features were strikingly handsome, his jawline sharp and defined. His expression remained entirely serious, lacking even a hint of flirtation, which made Norah feel much more at ease.
Gonzalez set her gently in the wheelchair and pushed her toward the exit.
Norah looked back over her shoulder and smiled. "Thank you."
"Don't mention it," Gonzalez replied with a faint smile. "Since you're going to be my teacher, taking care of you is the least I can do."
