Chapter: 1320

Lately, she had been too drained and overwhelmed to focus on her love life, so perhaps now was the perfect moment to address it.

"Come in," Norah said.

Susanna gave Sean a wink and mouthed, "Go on, Sean!"

Joanna had been singing his praises to Norah every day, urging her to give him another chance. Now, Sean needed to seize the moment and mend things with her.

Susanna closed the door quietly behind her, standing guard outside like a loyal bodyguard to ensure they wouldn't be disturbed.

As soon as Sean settled into the chair, Norah's cold voice cut through the silence.

"Mr. Scott, your sister are quite good to you."

He was dressed in elegant clothes, and an embarrassed smile played on his handsome face.

“Norah, please, just call me Sean."

Her formality stung, reminding him of their early days when they barely knew each other.

“I can address you however I please; it's my freedom. So, Mr. Scott, what do you want to talk to me about? You should start."

Norah's gaze was locked on his face. How familiar and handsome he looked. Sometimes, he even appeared in her dreams. Still, she decided it was best to break up with him amicably.

She didn't want to argue with him and risk him ending up hating her, just like Derek did.

They had once shared a deep love. She didn't want their relationship to deteriorate into something ugly.

Sean pressed his lips together, struggling to find the right words.

“Norah, we need to talk. Let's start with our fight from a year ago."

He took a deep breath before continuing, “Remember that night at Cloud Club? We were having drinks, and when I came back from the bathroom, I saw you getting intimate with Marlin. You never gave me an explanation, and I couldn't help but overthink it."

Norah opened her mouth to respond, but Sean gently held her hand, silencing her.

"I know you two are old friends, and I don't know the full story because I wasn't a part of it. When you are with me, are you thinking about me, or are your thoughts drifting back to him? What am I to you? I need to know!"

Sean's words tumbled out in a rush. He was surprised by how fresh the pain of that moment felt. It was as if it had happened just yesterday.

"You left me stranded that night without any clarification, and we went to bed angry. The next morning, I got the shocking news about Susanna harming herself. I informed the front desk that I had an urgent situation and had to rush back to Glophia. I thought I could sort things out with Susanna and then return to Silverdale, but everything took longer than expected. By the time I heard news about you again, you had an accident," Sean said.

Locking eyes with Norah, he continued, "Sweetheart, I don't want to argue. I just need to explain."

Norah listened quietly, her expression serene. She recalled the anger and frustration from before, but those emotions had subsided.

"You sound like you're still holding onto resentment. Are you trying to reopen old wounds? Do you think that I was being unreasonable?"
