Chapter: 281

Phillip caught a glimpse of Sean's stern expression through the rearview mirror. He tried to find the right words, but they just wouldn't come out. From his book, Sean was such a catch. Yet, Norah didn't seem to harbor any feelings for Sean, insisting they were just friends.

Phillip marveled at how well Sean treated Norah. Sean had picked out the dress for Norah with great care, even going to the Lengths of having it custom-made for her. Besides, he had brought two pieces of jewelry at an auction specifically for her.

Moreover, Sean had gone through the trouble of redecorating the guest room, with every item of clothing and accessory in the wardrobe all chosen by Sean one by one. And lately, Sean had been practicing his cooking skills, his usually pristine hands now bearing the marks of his culinary efforts... All these gestures spoke volumes of Sean's deep feelings for Norah.

Phillip assumed hearing Norah's words today would undoubtedly hurt Sean.

Susanna had specially come over to dine with Sean. Spotting Sean's icy demeanor and his silence, she exchanged a meaningful glance with Phillip but chose to keep quiet herself. She could sense her brother was fuming.

As Sean went to the second floor, Susanna exhaled sharply and asked, “What happened to my brother?"

Phillip didn't hold back, sharing the day's events at the hospital.

Susanna's jaw dropped in disbelief, and she pondered, "Norah said that? Maybe my brother hasn't been able to make her feel secure enough, so she doesn't reciprocate his feelings."

Susanna, who enjoyed delving into novels in her spare time and considered herself quite the love guru, commented, "I thought the truth or dare game we played last time would bring them closer.

Seems like it didn't help much."

As Sean's devoted little sister, Susanna felt compelled to take action to help Sean chase after Norah.

“Phillip, did you mention Joanna's in the hospital?"

“Yes. An accident happened in the hospital. And Mr. Hayes is hospitalized too."

"Joanna's Norah's close friend. Joanna's being in the hospital might just be the opportunity I need!" Susanna's resolve hardened. "Kason's hospitalization means Kaiden's appearance. They might seize the opportunity to ask Norah to attend to Kason, thus getting along more intimately. Well, I can't just stand by.”

Seeing Susanna's determination, Phillip wasn't sure whether to laugh or to sympathize. Well, at least Susanna was looking for ways to be productive. Better than her moping around at home.

“Mr. Scott's not himself today. Miss Scott, perhaps you could try cheering him up."

“Alright, Phillip. I'll go check on him."

With a glass of water, Susanna knocked and entered the study.

Sean, dressed in a suit, stared intently at his laptop, holding a black mouse in one hand. Though his face was devoid of emotion, the discontent in his heart was palpable.

"Sean, I've come across some news." Susanna placed the glass before Sean and took a seat across from him. “There's something I need to discuss with you."

Sean responded with a gentle, “Proceed.”

“Do you have feelings for Norah? And please, be honest with me!"

“Yes, I Like her."

Upon hearing his confirmation, Susanna gave a nod of approval. “Have you confessed to Norah? I'm not talking about games like Truth or Dare. Have you told her how you feel, directly and from the heart?"
