Chapter: 1520

It was now Sean's turn to feel uneasy. He had just spoken about the importance of honesty between them, and here he was, on the verge of lying. "Well, it's quite easy to hire Sacredice mercenaries. I think it's a worthwhile expense to ensure your safety."

Sean quickened his pace, trying to hide his discomfort. He wasn't entirely lying since Kelvin had organized these men knowing of his presence in Surella.

He figured that since Norah had previously encountered Sacredice personnel, he might as well use them for support. If Norah never traveled internationally, his role as the leader of Sacredice could remain a secret.

This was like a ticking time bomb, and he knew he needed to choose the right moment to discuss it with Norah. When should he do it?

Perhaps after they were married? That seemed like a good choice.

Norah had no clue that the man next to her was already planning their wedding. She didn't worry about the Sacredice's people.

She knew Sacredice was just another group of mercenaries available for hire with the right amount of money, nothing out of the ordinary.

To her, the escaped Adair mattered more. Where might he have fled to after his escape?

His arm injury would require medical attention. So, where would he seek treatment, and who would he call upon to help?

Caught up in her thoughts, Norah simply followed Sean, not paying attention to where they were going. When she snapped out of her reverie, she suddenly realized she was seated on a bed in a room at a five-star hotel.

Norah was taken aback.

Hadn't they agreed to go back to the Fraziers' house? How did she end up here?

Sean appeared calm and didn't seem the least bit uneasy. When he caught sight of Norah's questioning look, he coughed lightly a couple of times.

He explained, “It's already so late. We shouldn't return and wake up your relatives, so I've arranged for a room where you can relax."

As he said this, his gaze lingered on her with an intensity, much like someone starving who finally come across a meal.

Speaking of which, Norah touched her stomach and said, "I'm starving."

With a quick gesture, Sean signaled for Frank to bring over a lavish spread of dishes. Before being intimate with Norah, he wanted to ensure she was well-fed.

Norah quickly forgot the questions that had been troubling her, shifting her focus entirely to the food in front of her.

Sean ate a bit alongside her, resting his chin in his hands, smiling as he admired the sight of his girlfriend devouring her meal.

She looked adorable, and it filled him with the urge to pull her close and kiss her.

And so he did, tugging her gently into his lap.

Norah hesitated for just a second before returning to her meal, unfazed by the change in position.

With her perched on his Lap, savoring every bite, Sean felt a wave of desire wash over him. Each moment spent near her made it harder to let go.

He cooed, “Norah, this dish is amazing. Let me feed you."
