Chapter: 1321

Norah asked.

Sean shook his head quickly and replied, "No, it was entirely my fault. I shouldn't have argued with you. I can't even explain why I did. Please, forgive me."

And there he was, a prominent figure in Glophia, earnestly pleading with her.

Gently lifting his chin to meet her eyes, Norah asked, "Sean, don't you think you are displaying low self-esteem in this relationship?"

Her question alone prompted his immediate apology.

Before they were together, Sean was a confident figure, handling billion-dollar deals and surrounded by beautiful women.

But he changed a lot after being in a relationship with her.

Aside from that single argument during their time together, he always treated her well.

Sean paused, his eyebrows raising slightly. “Displaying low self-esteem? I don't believe so. When you care for someone, you treat them with all your love."

That was his view on love. To him, being in a relationship meant giving it his all.

"So you think me treating you well shows low self-esteem?" Sean inquired.

Norah fell silent. During the two years she spent with the Carter family, people often told her she lost herself in the relationship.

Eventually, she started to believe it too.

With Derek, she had become entirely focused on being the perfect wife, losing sight of herself.

Sean took her hand softly and continued, "Sweetheart, we've talked about this before. Relationships aren't perfect from the start. In fact, it's all about growing together. I don't want one argument to drive a wedge between us. That's not what I want. Let's not argue, okay? Let us just discuss things calmly."

In the Scott family, Matteo might seem dominant and usually had the final say, but when it came to Kayla, he was always willing to be flexible.

Growing up, Sean learned that cherishing one's wife and admitting one's mistakes was part of being a good partner.

When you truly love someone, you give them everything and always treat them with care.

Arguments happen, but the true challenge is whether you can mend things afterward.

Sean's words made Norah do a little thinking. Maybe she was still fixated on something from a year ago, making excuses for Sean without even checking in with him first.

But since he brought it up, they might as well lay everything on the table and discuss their arguments and the silent treatment.

“Talking sounds good; let's really dig into it," Norah said.

With that, she straightened up, ready to address the issues. "You've had your say, and now it's my turn. You see, Marlin and I go way back. In fact, I once saved his life. What you saw was just a misunderstanding. I tried to steady him, we both lost our footing, and we ended up on the couch, but I got back up right away.”

"I didn't dwell on it too much. The real issue was your baseless jealousy. I promised to keep my distance from male friends, but what occurred between Marlin and me was accidental," Norah said.
