Chapter: 1572
Talking about her parents no longer filled Norah with the sharp pain it once did. She continued, “Whether the Sacredice could have helped or not, that's in the past. It was a dead-end investigation, and I was grasping at straws.”
“I'm so sorry," Sean whispered, pulling her closer. "I never meant to deceive you. I didn't know how to tell you."
Norah pressed her fingers gently against his lips. “It's alright, Sean. I understand. I don't want us to fight over this.”
Norah always knew how to discern right from wrong, and she didn't want to argue with Sean over such a minor matter. "I knew all this. I just didn't expect you to be the leader of the Sacredice.”
This truly came as a surprise to her. She smiled, her eyes crinkling.
“Wow, my boyfriend has such a prestigious background. Now I feel Like I might not measure up to your caliber.”
Sean murmured, “I will always be by your side, honey. Don't leave me,"
“I won't leave. Instead, I will make sure you stay by my side.” Norah cupped his face in her hands and gave him a kiss. “I like you even more now."
The Sacredice was immensely wealthy, practically a gold mine. With income streaming in from its intelligence network, bounty missions, and various other sources, it was difficult to estimate its daily earnings.
Sean explained, "The men with us earlier today are the three Deacons. The one with silver hair is K, in charge of all mercenary operations. The one with golden hair is J, who manages all financial transactions. The one holding the computer is T, ranked No. 3 on the hacking leaderboard. He's responsible for maintaining our websites and handling emergencies. And then there's Phillip, who is P, my personal bodyguard."
“So, there are four Deacons. I've heard their names. You, the leader of the Sacredice, are quite mysterious. There's hardly any information about you," Norah remarked.
“Isn't it the same for you? It's not easy to find any information about the Supernatural Doctor online," Sean teased.
Norah chuckled. She was vigilant in monitoring information about herself, erasing any negative content and keeping only the positive.
Moreover, those she had treated maintained discretion, never posting about her information online.
“Sean, you're amazing.” Norah's gaze was fixed on Sean, admiring his features, The legendary leader of the Sacredice was now by her side.
He had never mentioned the hardships he had endured.
"Uh huh." Sean chuckled softly, his voice deep and alluring. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Whew, I finally told you what has been on my mind. I planned to tell you after we get married, but it came out much sooner."
Norah sat on Sean's lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Marriage, huh? That seems a long way off. Sean, are you considering marrying me now?"
Sean's expression grew serious. “Honey, don't you want to marry me?"
“I don't know. I love being with you, but I'mnot sure about marriage...”
Norah was conflicted about marriage. She cherished her life with Sean and saw marriage as a natural progression, yet she was uncertain about the timing.
“It's okay, honey. It was just a thought. Don't feel pressured." Sean quickly shifted the topic. "Tomorrow, let's go skiing again. I've noticed you're much better at it than I am, Maybe try the black slopes..
Meanwhile, Alyssa and her friends had just finished dinner, with Alyssa covering the bill as usual. They had planned this outing for fun, yet she ended up handling all the expenses.
“Alyssa, let's hit the ski resort again tomorrow. You're really picking it up fast. You'll be skiing solo in no time."
