Chapter: 1100
“Sir, you have an appointment with Ms. Quinn. Are you planning to visit Silverdale in a few days?
I've already secured a private air route for your convenience, "Phillip said, clearly uneasy about the evolving dynamic between Norah and Sean.
Sean let out a bitter laugh. "Why would I go? To witness their budding romance?"
“But sir, there might be some misunderstanding..."
Before Phillip could finish his thought, Sean cut him off.
"Misunderstanding? Look at the evidence. He brought her flowers when she was ill, they raced together, and he made sure she got home safely. Phillip, do you take me for a fool?"
Sean's sudden eruption of anger left Phillip speechless, silencing him with fear.
It had been a long time since he'd seen Sean so furious.
"One more thing, Mr. Jaxson Singh is coming back soon."
"Alright, I understand. Leave Norah alone for now. I'll wait for her to return to Glophia."
Phillip nodded. “Okay, I'll go check on Susanna."
Sean closed his eyes, trying to shut out the tormenting images in his mind.
The mere thought of Norah smiling at another man, sharing moments with him, drove him to the brink of madness with jealousy.
He couldn't bear it.
His eyes snapped open with fury, a burning desire to confront her in Silverdale surging through him.
Was Marlin the one she truly loved? Had he been nothing more than a placeholder?
Yet, the fear of hearing a confirmation of his worst fears held him back.
He bowed his head, his thoughts consumed by the longing to be Norah's one and only.
During this time apart, he'd hoped the distance would give both of them a chance to cool down and reflect.
Lying on the sofa, he drifted into a restless sleep, his dreams haunted by the image of Norah.
"Norah, don't leave me," he murmured in his sleep.
When Phillip returned in the middle of the night and saw Sean sprawled on the sofa, his heart ached for him.
He couldn't fathom why Norah and Sean, who loved each other so deeply, persisted in their silent standoff. It would only dissipate the feelings between them.
He covered Sean with a blanket and sighed to himself.
