Chapter: 1011
Her words appeared conciliatory, but in reality, she was sowing the discords.
After they all departed, the music continued to play.
Sean stood towering and looked down, his face partially obscured by shadows.
“Norah, what do you need to explain to me?"
A trace of chill appeared in Norah's gaze. She rose to her feet and said, "What do you want me to say? I have nothing to say."
She ignored Sean and walked past him.
"Let's go back."
Sean's demeanor revealed it all. He didn't trust that she was innocent. He angrily pressed her for an explanation.

Joanna was taken aback and replied several messages. "What?" “Sean had a fight with you? How could he ever want to argue with you? I can't believe it."
“It seems no couple is immune to fights. What was the argument about?
