Chapter: 219

Realizing further discussion was futile, Norah understood Sean's determination, compelling her to accept this unique offering.

Initially, she had assumed this brooch was intended for his mother.

Yet, now it lay in her possession, a twist of fate she found quite striking.

After accepting, Norah rose and left without uttering another word.

On her way out, her eyes caught the painting she had gifted to him in the living room. The painting was adorned with the phrase, “Where there is a will, there is a way." It seemed Sean had taken a Liking to these words, embodying his relentless pursuit of his desires. This mantra also resonated with Norah, revealing a shared philosophy between them.

Phillip dropped Norah at her home, presenting her with a small pink box.

The sight of another jewelry box made Norah wary. "What's this, Phillip?"

"Mr. Scott insisted I hand this to you upon your return."

“Please extend my thanks to him." Eager to end the conversation, Norah accepted the jewelry box and exited the vehicle.

Sean's actions intrigued her. Having just received a diamond brooch, she now found herself with a pink jewelry box. What could it contain?

Yet, she felt she already knew the answer.

Inside the box was a pink crystal, stirring a whirlwind of emotions within her.

The two items acquired by Sean this morning were now all hers, a gesture that left her puzzled as to why he would give them to her.

Holding the pure pink, teardrop-shaped crystal, Norah admired its beauty. It had been a coveted piece at the auction, eventually secured by Sean.

After a moment, Norah placed the crystal back in the box, discovering a small white note. Unfolding it, she read, "You are the one."

The ink was fresh, hinting at Sean's personal touch. What did he intend by penning such a message?

Norah felt a rush of unease. She quickly tucked the crystal and the note back into the box, trying not to overthink its significance.

“Perhaps he meant the crystal is unique. Don't overanalyze it," she told herself.

There was no room in her mind for further speculation. She had too many tasks awaiting her attention.

Norah concealed the dress in a hidden corner of her wardrobe and secured the two jewelry boxes in a safe, out of sight.

The reason behind Sean's gifts puzzled her, but she decided it was best to store them safely away for now.

Meanwhile, Kathy found herself in a hotel with Jordy after the auction. From her first disappointing encounter with two boyfriends she found online, she had stopped valuing her purity.

Derek's experience had told Kathy that if a man truly loved a woman, the woman's past would not matter to him.

After their intimate moment, Jordy stood up from the bed, pulling on his pants with a sense of accomplishment. "I like you. If you ever need anything, just come to me. All it takes is one night with me," he said.
