"But I think it's worth it," Shawn replied.
Norah's eyes turned red, her heart ached, and she couldn't say a word.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Sit down and have a good meal with me. I haven't had a proper
meal in days," Shawn said.
Norah didn't ask any further questions and obediently sat down next to him.
She had already finished eating, so the rest of the time was spent watching him eat while she sat by his
side.
For a while, the only sound in the private room was the clinking of cutlery on plates.
Shawn sat upright, wearing a white shirt with his sleeves gently rolled up, revealing his powerful
forearms.
He ate slowly, savoring each bite with elegance.
His every move was in perfect harmony with the ambiance of the place.
For the next while, neither of them spoke, and a sense of calmness settled in.
Norah accompanied him while admiring the decoration of the private room.
Upon closer inspection, she realized that the attention to detail in the decor was exquisite.
Every corner was designed to create a comfortable and refined atmosphere.
After finishing the last sip of soup, Shawn put down his spoon. Norah asked, "Are you full?"
"Mm-hmm." He nodded softly and added, "It's the best dinner I've had in days."
"Well then, good."
"Not because of how delicious the food is, but because you're here with me." Shawn looked at her and
said seriously.
Norah was speechless.
She didn't know how to continue the conversation.
"This place is quite big, and we've only been to one of the rooms. There are many more to explore.
Would you like to take a look?" Shawn casually put a hand in his pocket and asked softly.
At that moment, the waiter immediately handed Norah a brochure about the establishment.
As Norah flipped open the elegantly designed brochure, the first page caught her attention. She loved
this medieval style.
As soon as the thought came to her mind, she turned to look at Shawn. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
She had always hidden her love for Victorian fashion and architecture in her heart. She just took that as
a secret hobbit.
She never deliberately proclaimed it or went on crazy shopping sprees.
So, how did he know that she liked the Victorian style?
When visiting this store, Norah realized how little she knew about this store.
No wonder the owner built this store in such a secluded and serene place, far from the hustle and
bustle. It turned out to be a hidden gem.
And Norah was almost amazed by every corner of this place.
The size of this store was beyond her imagination. It was like a small world of the Victorian era, with
everything she could imagine.
Restaurants, decor galleries, design studios, photography exhibits, shopping halls, auction rooms,
performance venues, display galleries, treasure collections, wedding dress boutiques...
Almost everything one could think of was here.
Norah observed those buildings with titles along the way, feeling dazzled.
It was so beautiful and unique here.
She really loved it and didn't want to leave.
After touring the main hall, the female receptionist softly asked, "President Lawson, Miss Chase, due to
limited time today, we may only be able to visit one hall. Which one would you like to visit first?"
Shawn looked at the lady, then at Norah, and replied, "Let her decide."
"Miss Chase, please let me know once you've made your decision."
"Let's go to the photography gallery," Norah suggested.
"I'm sorry, Miss Chase, but it's a bit late now. The staff there have already left for the day. The other
galleries are still open though. Would you like to visit them instead?"
"Then I'd like to go to the treasure gallery. Is that okay?"
"Of course."
The receptionist felt relieved.
Luckily, she was quick on her feet, otherwise she would have given herself away.
Actually, it wasn't because of the late hour that there were no photography staff, but because President
Lawson had booked the whole place.
In other words, apart from the receptionists, there were only the two of them in this huge place.
When they reached the treasure gallery, Norah was amazed when the heavy carved doors were
pushed open.
The treasure gallery was grand and the decoration was magnificent. The moment she walked in, she
even felt like she had traveled back in time.
Every detail in the gallery was meticulously crafted and the arrangement was awe-inspiring.
Various treasures were displayed inside - beautiful clothes, various objects, books, and a dazzling
array of ancient jewelry.
Norah had to admit that as a woman, she also loved beauty.
When she saw those exquisitely beautiful clothes made of light silk and feathers, Norah was stunned
by their beauty.
She stopped and looked up, and her face was full of envy and delight. Her bright eyes were like stars.
She really liked these things. From any perspective, these clothes were incredibly beautiful.
"Do you like them?" Shawn asked beside her.
Norah raised a smile with arched brows, replying, "It's more like appreciation. Some things are very
beautiful, but they are meant to be admired from a distance, not to be owned."
And people as well... Just like him to her.
After a few more glances, Norah continued walking forward.
The display cases ahead were filled with precious jewelry - gold, jade, and almost every kind of
gemstone except diamonds.
The jewelry inside was stunning, and Norah could tell just by a fleeting glance that they were quite
expensive.
In the two years of her marriage to Shawn, he had always been very generous to her financially.
Norah received numerous diamond necklaces and jewelry as gifts on various occasions, not only from
him but also from his grandfather and parents. Although it had only been two years, her collection of
jewelry had accumulated to fill an entire large box.
As a result, Norah had seen quite a lot of fine things, much more than most people, at least.
However, even with all that, Norah's eyes still lit up when she saw the pair of classical diamond
earrings in front of her.
The faint purple color made them appear exceptionally delicate and elegant.
The diamonds were pear-shaped, and the size was just perfect.
Norah fell in love with these earrings at first sight.
However, based on her recent experience, she didn't show too much of her liking for these earrings.
She just quietly took a few more admiring glances towards them.
But even with her best efforts to conceal it, Shawn, being perceptive and attentive, noticed.
And this time, he remained unfazed as well.
After exploring the collection in the museum, Norah exclaimed, "The owner must have spent a lot of
time and effort collecting all these precious items."
The receptionist nodded and said, "Miss Chase, you are absolutely right. These are all collected by my
boss over the years. Many of these items are his personal treasures. They are all his favorites."
"So everything in our museum can be priced and sold, except for the collection. The items in there are
for display only, not for sale."
"Mr. Lawson, Miss Chase, we finished this museum a bit quickly. We still have some time. Up ahead is
our flagship gallery, and also our specialty gallery, 'The Bridal Gown Gallery'. Would you like me to take
you in for a tour?"
