Chapter: 248

“Sure.”

Hearing this, Norah narrowed her eyes and said, "I'm taking a nap.

Wake me up when we arrive."

Norah was both physically and mentally exhausted, and dozed off in a few minutes, momentarily forgetting her embarrassment.

Sean softly instructed, “Turn up the air conditioner and drive carefully."

Sean scrutinized Norah's face, which mirrored his whenever he stayed up late to work. Her face was lined with fatigue. Perhaps she had an extremely busy day at the hospital today and had put in an extra three hours of work.

Sean called up his chef and instructed the latter to prepare a few dishes. Dinner would be ready when they got back.

The car was so quiet that even the sound of breathing was barely audible.

Sean turned his head and watched Norah, who was fast asleep. She was visibly tired, but it did nothing to mar her beauty. Her long eyelashes cast shadows over her cheeks, and her lips were parted slightly. She was breathing evenly.

Sean's eyes darkened as his mind flashed back to the wonderful kiss they had shared the last time.

That day, he had given Norah some time to think, but she left him a note and slipped away. She even deliberately evaded him during the weekend consultation. She obviously wanted nothing to do with him, which annoyed him.

But he didn't push her. Instead, he chose to give her some space to gather her thoughts and only appeared occasionally in front of her, turning up the pressure on her a tad bit.

After so many times, no matter how much patience Sean had, he had to insist on meeting her today.

Maybe Norah didn't avoid him today because she was exhausted. It was their first real meeting after the crazy night they had shared.

Last time, Sean admitted that he was attracted to Norah. He had fallen for her advances without hesitation. If it happened again, he would make the same choice. The sex was mind-blowing. He craved more.

He wished that Norah could be with him every day and he could see her at any time.

Norah slept soundly. When she opened her eyes, darkness had enveloped the car. Sean was quietly sitting next to her, her head resting on his shoulder. Only the two of them were in the car.

Norah raised her head and furtively wiped the corners of her mouth.

Thank God, she hadn't drooled. She straightened her spine, rubber her eyes, and asked groggily, "What's the time?"

"About ten o'clock." Sean turned off his phone. "You haven't had dinner, have you? Let's chat after dinner."

Norah was indeed starving. Her hand fluttered over her stomach and she realized that she wouldn't be able to escape the conversation with Sean today. With a nod, she replied, "Okay."

They ate dinner at Sean's place. After they were done, Sean led Norah to the study on the second floor. They were the only ones there.

Sean poured Norah a cup of coffee and pointed at the seat across from him. "Why don't you take a seat?"

Norah sat down, her eyes glued to her lap. "What do you want to say, Sean?"
