Nora heard what Mrs. Long said the moment she stepped out of her house in the morning.
She frowned, wanting to say something. But when she looked over, she saw Rene hiding at the window of her house. She was staring nervously at Liam, her eyes fixed on him as if she was afraid that he would not want her anymore.
She was so nervous that her hands were tightly wrung, but she didn't have the courage to call out to him, interrupt Mrs. Long, or argue with her.
Her hair was still dirty and greasy because she was unwilling to wash it and the clothes she wore were old and worn out. Her head was constantly down and she looked like she didn't have any confidence at all.
It wouldn't even be surprising if she was mistaken as a beggar when she walked down the streets.
Someone like her certainly seemed out of place next to Liam.
