“Miss Wilson, why didn’t you ctoduring your visit?”
Norah offered a smile. “I didn’t want to impose, Mr. Boyd.”
Manley countered, “How could it be an imposition? When you're in Silverdale, you should have lethost you.”
“I just didn’t want to trouble you,” Norah explained, her smile unwavering.
Sean tensed slightly, his fingers curling. Did Norah know the Boyd family head? Had she visited Silverdale
before? What was the nature of her relationship with Manley?

He realized he knew nothing about this. Despite their long stay in Silverdale, Norah had never mentioned any
connection. Manley’s laughter broke the tension, echoing the warmth of an old friendship being rekindled.
“Now that | know you're here, you must accept my hospitality! It was promised,” he declared jovially.
Norah then introduced Sean to Manley, presenting Sean as her boyfriend.
Manley appraised Sean thoughtfully before nodding his approval.
“Good, you seem well-suited to be Miss Wilson's boyfriend.”
Hans and Marlin exchanged puzzled glances, baffled by their father’s uncharacteristically kind demeanor toward
Norah. Hans racked his brain, realizing with a pang that he barely knew this woman. How had she gotten to know
his father and earned his favor?
Carlos mirrored Hans’s bewilderment, staring blankly at Norah. Norah smiled politely, without a hint of arrogance
or flattery. “Thank you, Mr. Boyd.”

Dolores, already on edge since discovering Manley’s connection to Marlin, felt a fresh wave of terror wash over
her. His warmth towards Norah sent shivers down her spine.
Marlin, bristling, sprang to Dolores’s defense. “Dad, Miss Wilson started it! Just because she’s, well, acquainted
with you, doesn’t mean you have to play favorites. That's hardly fair to Dolores.”
“Was what you did fair to Miss Wilson?” Manley countered.
When he got wind of the commotion at the charity event, Manley’s temper flared. How could Marlin stir up such
trouble over a girl? As soon as he learned Norah was involved, he rushed over quickly.
Manley hadn't intended to grace the charity event with his presence, preferring to leave it to the younger
generation. But the ensuing chaos forced his hand.
