Chapter: 1008

"Dolores, you always seem so happy.”

“If Marlin proposed now, it would be the perfect ending.”

“But they've only been together for less than two months. Isn't it a bit early to talk about marriage?" People began to discuss.

Dolores thought she would hold onto Marlin tightly to ensure a prosperous future.

Marlin looked into Dolores' eyes, which were filled with admiration.

Though her eyes were just as he remembered, his heart still missed a beat.

Holding a wine glass, Lola leaned on the sofa and said, "I guess Mr. Boyd's wedding invitation will be arriving soon."

She glanced sideways at Sean and Norah, always side by side, feeling a twinge of envy and irritation.

She believed Norah's only advantage was her beautiful face. Men do favor youthful and pretty women, she thought.

“And what about you, Mr. Scott? When will we be hearing your good news?"

Dolores, raising her head from Marlin's embrace, looked over with interest.

She too believed Norah's attraction to Sean was merely superficial.

Given what Marlin said about Sean's influence in Glophia, how could he fall for a doctor with no outstanding background?

If Lola and Sean had not been there, she might have planned to kick Norah out of here.

Since Marlin had helped Norah once before, it was only natural that he would lend a hand again. If his support became frequent, perhaps feelings might develop. Lola was determined to stop it before it started.

Norah was taken aback by the sudden shift of conversation. Marriage?

To Sean? Was marriage truly the right decision?

She had decided to stay with Sean and was prepared to leave at any moment.

She knew marriage would not hold her. Her previous marriage to Derek taught her that marriage was not the key to preserving a relationship -it was love that was important.

Sean gazed at Norah intensely, his eyes deep and earnest. "The only bride at my wedding will be Norah. I'll start planning as soon as she gives the word."

Though he had often pondered marrying Norah, he understood her desire for freedom and her unfavorable past marriage experience. Perhaps it was still too soon for them to marry.

He was patient, however. He would wait as long as it took for her heartfelt consent.

Norah felt touched by Sean's earnest gaze. Often, they did not need words-their hearts were already connected.

Sean's response filled the room with a sense of admiration.
