Chapter 373: To keep a distance
Nora looked at the lock hanging on the main gate of Demitri’s house and sighed. She came so far to return the items, but he wasn’t at home. But then it wasn’t Demitri’s fault. She was the one, who didn’t inform him.
"Should I wait for him?" Nora murmured and looked around, finding the street was filled with only silence.
She leaned against the wall and looked at her wristwatch. Sharp three in the afternoon. He should be returning soon, she thought. Two hours passed, but there was no sign of Demitri.
"Should I call him?" Nora murmured for the tenth time, but then she shook her head. Demitri was avoiding her and at the same time, she didn’t want to be bother to him. The wind was turning colder now and she rubbed her hands together.
She got on her knees while holding her knees together and placed her hands on her cheeks. "I think I should leave," Nora decided when she heard the sound of a bike. As she stood up, she found the bike halted right before Demitri’s house.
Nora’s hair blew to the front with the cold air.
Demitri removed his helmet and his eyes met with hers. He saw two bags in her hands and got down from his bike while holding the two bags. "What are you doing here?" he asked. He noticed how red her nose and cheeks were.
"I visited you to return these. And this is for you. It’s a fruit cake," Nora stated and sneezed. Covering her mouth she apologized.
Demitri chuckled and opened the lock, asking her to follow him inside. Nora walked behind him and they were soon inside his house. "Have a seat," he said and went to the kitchen.
