Chapter: 1478

Norah gathered her belongings, heading back to her room. She grabbed her pajamas and stepped into the bathroom. The hot shower soothed her, washing away the weight of the day and leaving her feeling refreshed.

Afterward, she settled in bed and called Sean. His face appeared on the screen, still in his study, though he'd changed into more relaxed clothes.

“Have you made it to Surella yet?" Sean asked, adjusting his phone in one hand while clearing away the scattered papers on his desk with the other. His eyes locked on the screen, focused solely on her.

The day before Norah had left, she had told him about the Frazier family. After seeing the names on the paternity report, Sean knew for sure it was the same influential Frazier family based in Surella.

Who would've guessed that her mother's family had such an influential background?

He had wanted to go with her, to be by her side through it all. But the company had thrown an unexpected problem his way, and with Norah asking him to stay behind, unsure of how things with the Fraziers would unfold, he respected her wishes and stayed.

"Yeah, we got here earlier today," Norah replied, wiping her still-damp hair with a towel. She propped the phone on her bed and laid down, her body finally starting to relax.

“Don't forget to dry your hair properly, or you'll end up with a headache," he cautioned her.

"I know, I know."

Sean lifted an eyebrow, his sharp features softening just a bit. But his eyes, always deep and thoughtful, stayed fixed on her, filled with quiet concern and affection.

Norah reached out, gently tracing the curve of his nose on the screen with her fingertip. "Did you miss me?"

Without hesitation, he nodded, his expression softening even more.

"Of course I did, honey. When are you coming back?"

He longed for her presence, the distance between them feeling heavier with each passing day. Even though he knew it wasn't forever, being apart from her never sat right with him.

As he watched her on the screen, a thought crept into his mind-about the proposal. He needed to plan it soon. He couldn't stand the idea of anything keeping them apart again.

Norah quickly assessed the situation, saying, "I will stay for two months. Grandpa's condition is precarious, and as his granddaughter, I feel obligated to care for him."

Sean's expression grew concerned. Was she planning to stay that long?

He recalled that he had invested in a company in Surella, which could serve as a valid reason for him to visit and stay by her side.

He replied, “That's fine. You focus on your grandpa. I'll take care of things back here in Glophia. If your father needs help, I'm here."

"Thanks so much, Sean." Norah smiled.

Her father had recently returned to Glophia to manage the family business again, and there were plenty of adjustments he had to make.

Sean's support would be invaluable.

"It's nothing, dear."

As Sean gazed at his girlfriend's vibrant red lips, he felt a surge of affection. He was about to express his feelings when a knock interrupted him from the other end of the call.
