Chapter: 1373

“A gift for my beloved is never too expensive." Sean looked at her earnestly. "Honey, please give me a chance to explain. May I come in?"

He pushed the gift box slightly towards her, his eyes filled with hope.

"My Love for you is true. I love you."

His voice suddenly deepened with passion, causing her to tremble.

Before Norah could answer, laughter echoed from inside the manor.

"Norah, he seems quite sincere. Why not let him in?"

Sean had just begun his rehearsed romantic lines when he heard the voice and abruptly stopped.

Could there be someone else in Norah's manor? Susanna had said it was only Norah's assistant here.

Trying to hold back her amusement and with twinkling eyes, Norah said, “Alright, since you're so insistent, come on in."

She stepped back from the doorway, fetched Sean's slippers from the rack, placed them before him, and entered the house ahead of him.

Sean paused, uncertain about who else might be inside Norah's house.

He had initially thought her relaxed demeanor upon greeting him was because she was pleased to see him.

Gripping his bag firmly, he reminded himself that he was the head of Scott Group. There was nothing to fear.

He walked confidently into the Living room and saw that it was quite occupied.

Present were Norah's two assistants, Gilda and Chayce, along with a middle-aged couple.

Though the couple appeared somewhat thin, they radiated a distinct air of affluence and sophistication that was immediately noticeable.

Upon laying eyes on the couple, Sean stopped in his tracks.

He felt a sense of familiarity; he had seen them at a funeral three years ago, and their faces from the black and white photographs had stayed with him.

How was it possible that two people he remembered as deceased were now standing before him?

Nevertheless, he quickly suppressed his astonishment. "Norah, who are these people?"

He behaved as though it was his first time seeing them.

"Come on, I know you know them."

Norah recalled seeing him at her parents' funeral. The pictures of her parents had been prominently displayed, and he certainly knew who they were.

As Sean's expression grew stern, he placed his gift on the table and shook his head. "Norah, I know them, but please introduce them to me."
