Chapter: 1376

Despite the compliments, Norah responded with a cold reply.

"Don't assume your sweet words will make me overlook everything. You haven't clarified the issue with the other woman yet, so don't think you can remain at my side."

"Which woman?"

Bernice instantly became vigilant. Just as she was processing the shock of her daughter being the Supernatural Doctor, she now found herself concerned about her daughter's romantic relationship.

“He cheated on you? Then why would you introduce him to us?"

Sean rushed to explain, "No, I've never cheated on Norah. I only love her! It's all been a big misunderstanding!"

"“Misunderstanding? You expect me to believe that dressing her in my dress and bringing her to your place was just a misunderstanding? If I hadn't visited your place, you might have continued to keep your lover a secret from me."

"I never gave her that dress. I've made it clear she's not to come to my place. There's nothing between us."

In front of Norah's parents, Sean raised his hand and swore, “Norah is the only one for me. May I be struck by lightning if I lie..."

"Stop that," Norah cut him off as he started to make more dramatic promises, pulling his hand down. "For now, I'll take your word. Just be sure I don't find you cheating, or there will be consequences."

When she walked away from the Carter family, she took two-thirds of their wealth with her!

Calvin looked at their clasped hands and said coldly, "Sean, it's not just Norah who won't forgive you if it turns out you've lied; you'll be in trouble with me as well!"

Sean felt more assured than pressured. Calvin's stern words felt Like an approval for him to take care of Norah properly.

"Don't worry, I'll look after Norah well."

Despite Norah speaking of their disputes, it was evident to all that their bond was strong.

Bernice couldn't help but smile at the expressions of joy shared between Norah and Sean.

She chuckled. "I never imagined Norah would be so impressive; she has Sean completely captivated.”

They had known of Sean before the car accident but hadn't really met him personally.

Around her parents, Norah was still a bit reserved.

The presence of the apology gift on the table and her parents‘, Norah move her earlier playful teasing helped past disagreement with Sean.

Sean, acting as an understanding boyfriend, didn't inquire about the details of what had happened to Norah's parents.

Noticing her parents looked tired, Norah suggested, “Dad, Mom, why don't you rest for a bit? I'll call you when dinner's ready.”

Bernice, yawning, agreed, “Sure, we'll go up and rest for a while.”

She took Calvin's hand, and they headed upstairs.
