Chapter: 1535
Seeing the table laden with dishes that Norah had prepared, Calvin felt a mixture of gratitude and pride. His daughter was so considerate, returning home and even cooking dinner for her father.
He felt fortunate to have such a thoughtful daughter.
He invited the Scott siblings to join the table, with Phillip naturally sitting next to Susanna.
Calvin took his place at the head of the table, his voice wavering slightly as he raised his glass. “We've been through a lot, but we've arrived at the best possible outcome. Sean, you're the one Norah chose, and you've been a great support to me during this time. Norah's mom and I have always supported your relationship. We hope your love stays as strong as when you first met. Always cherish the feelings you had at the start."
Realizing he was veering off-topic, Calvin swiftly redirected and said, "It's a rare occasion for us all to be together. Let's enjoy this meal. Susanna, Phillip, please make yourselves at home.”
Susanna eagerly replied, "Of course, Mr. Wilson. Phillip and I won't stand on formalities. We truly appreciate your kindness. Norah, you and your father are very amiable."
Sean looked at Norah with a tender gaze, feeling fortunate that her parents approved of their relationship. However, when thoughts of his own parents surfaced, his expression darkened slightly.
His father would be on his side, but ultimately, his father always stood by his mother's decisions. Although their marriage itself wouldn't be an issue, receiving his mother's blessing would be a challenge, given her difficult nature. Thinking of this, Sean felt a pang of guilt for Norah.
Noticing his look, Norah blinked in puzzlement. Why was he staring at her that way? Had her father said something wrong?
"Let's eat." Sean smiled.
He placed some food on her plate, pushing aside his concerns. Missing his mother's approval wasn't a huge loss. After all, he had received little maternal affection while growing up anyway.
They all ate heartily, nearly finishing every dish Norah had prepared.
When they were done, Calvin got up, patting his stomach. “Norah, I'm heading out for a walk and will give your mom a call."
"Phillip and I should get going now, Norah. Thanks again for the amazing meal. It was really delicious." Susanna suddenly burped, quickly covering her mouth and giving Phillip a signal to leave.
Phillip nodded at Sean and gently escorted Susanna out.
The maid tidied the dining table, and Norah led Sean back to their room.
“Sean, what were you going to say earlier at dinner?" Norah inquired.
Smiling, Sean wrapped his arms around her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. "It's nothing serious, sweetheart. Just some thoughts crossed my mind."
She placed her hand over his and said softly, "Whatever the future holds, Sean, I'll stand by you. We're in this together."
"Yes, I know."
Certain sentiments need to be shared often to fully grasp their significance. At that moment, they felt the depth of each other's emotions.
"Sean, I've been thinking about my future," Norah said.
After leaving Silver Boulder Private Hospital, her career path became clear.
Clearing her throat, she continued, "If the truth about me being the Supernatural Doctor comes out, it could cause us trouble."
