Chapter: 1374

Who were these two individuals, and what was their relationship to Norah?

Bernice leaned into Calvin, suppressing a laugh. “Norah, just tell him the truth already."

Norah gestured for Sean to take a seat opposite her parents and said seriously, "Sean, they are my parents."

Sean's eyes widened in shock. The elusive former head of the Wilson family was Norah's father?

Calvin sat upright, eyeing Sean intently. “I'm Calvin Wilson. Perhaps you've heard of me."

"I'm Norah's mother, Bernice." Bernice smiled.

She recalled the young Sean she met years ago. He was always serious as he was groomed from a young age to be the heir to his family. He always looked poised and mature.

It seemed fate played a role in bringing him and her daughter together.

Sean quickly connected the dots. "Norah was the missing daughter of the Wilson family from over two decades ago?"

Calvin confirmed with a grave nod. "Yes, that's correct. We were careless, and losing Norah has been a constant painful memory for us.”

His voice carried a weight of guilt. This was a subject he would have avoided if Norah wasn't found.

Bernice changed the subject to lighten the atmosphere. “I once worried Sean might have trouble finding a wife, but he seems quite good at it. After all, our Norah is quite smitten with him."

Norah's cheeks turned pink as she exclaimed, "Mom!"

She and Sean had been in the midst of a disagreement. Now that her mother began revealing her feelings for him, how could she continue the pretense?

Sean's comfort faltered noticeably. He had thought he had everything under control, but the sudden meeting with his girlfriend's parents stirred up his nerves.

"I should have come with a gift for you, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson; it was impolite of me not to," Sean remarked.

He chose not to inquire why they were still alive. Instead, he offered an apology, seeking to leave a favorable impression on his prospective in-laws.

Calvin responded, “We've only just arrived; it's understandable that you weren't prepared."

They hadn't intended to disclose their identities to Sean, but Bernice had nonetheless urged Norah to come clean.

Upon returning to Glophia, Norah believed there was no longer a need to conceal her parents' survival from Sean. After all, she was prepared to take action against Iker and his family.

Still, she would have Sean keep the news of her parents being alive to himself for the time being.

Sean sat upright, maintaining a cool and collected demeanor.

Unbeknownst to others, he was discreetly pinching his thigh under the table to manage his anxiety.

Gilda resumed the earlier discussion. “Hadley shared with me that their big scheme is launching tomorrow."
