Chapter: 1377

Gilda and Chayce had their matters to attend to, leaving the couple alone in the living room.

Sean looked at Norah with a pleading expression. “Norah, have you forgiven me yet? If not, I'm ready to keep apologizing."

Norah couldn't ignore how well Sean had always treated her, and his words at the hospital lingered in her mind.

She appreciated his kindness, but that didn't erase his mistakes.

Rising from her seat with an unreadable expression, she simply said, "No."

Norah walked toward the upstairs room, with Sean following closely behind.

“Nothing is going on between me and Marlene. I've had Frank cut off all support for her, so she won't be a problem for you anymore. Believe me."

Sean watched her with the earnestness of a dog begging for affection.

Norah opened the bedroom door and stepped inside. "You think a few words will make me believe you? You must be joking."

Sean closed the door, his eyes lingering on her as the dim light played across her features.

"I haven't lied to you, but I did help her at first because she reminded me of you."

Quickening his pace, he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.

His voice softened, his breath warm against her ear. "Honey, don't shut me out."

Resting his head on her shoulder, he inhaled her familiar scent, his eyes drawn to the gentle rise and fall of her chest.

His arms tightened around her waist, pulling her closer as his breathing deepened.

Pushing aside any distractions, Sean knew that making Norah happy was his top priority-anything less and he risked losing her for good.

Norah could sense that he was aroused and let out a soft chuckle.

"I believe in your love for me, but there are many women out there who might desire to be with you. They may be charming and attractive, but I want to be the one you always choose."

For Sean, Marlene was insignificant compared to her, who was the most important person in his life.

She wanted to be the one who held his heart all the time.

Sean held her tighter. “Norah, you've always been the one for me. That's never changed, and it never will. I promise I won't upset you again."

After everything they'd been through, Sean decided he would always be the first to apologize when an argument arose between them, no matter what.

What was pride compared to being with her?

Norah hummed softly. "I'll be keeping an eye on you from now on."
