Chapter: 286

Norah, a beacon of kindness, had been the target of Kathy's mocking words amid her married life. Joanna couldn't help admiring Norah's patience with the Carter family.

Luckily, Norah was finally divorced. With the Carter family gone, Norah could return to her own bliss.

“Joanna, rest up well in the hospital. I'll take my leave now. See you tomorrow," Norah bid her farewell, seizing the arrival of Bryson with grapes as an opportune moment to Leave.

“Of course, Norah. Don't forget to drop by tomorrow," Joanna replied warmly.

"Count on it!"

Outside the hospital, at the parking lot, Norah turned to Susanna.

“I'm heading home. Care to join me?"

"I want to check on my brother. Can you give me a ride?" Susanna asked.

Norah could just drop Susanna at the gate, so she agreed without hesitation.

Norah stopped her vehicle outside Sean's villa. Susanna fidgeted in her seat, contemplating how to invite Norah inside.

"Thanks for the ride, Norah. How about a drink inside? It would be rude not to offer," Susanna said tentatively.

Norah grinned. “Are you trying to get me to see your brother?"

Suddenly, Norah recalled Bryson's revelation from the day before, suggesting Sean might hear what she had said to Joanna about him and Kason. Back then, she had claimed both Sean and Kason were her friends.

"No, I'm only trying to be kind. Truth be told, I'm not sure if my brother has come back," Susanna said, trying to sound calm.

Despite Susanna's earnest look when saying, Norah didn't buy her words and chuckled. "You said have a drink with me inside? Alright.

Let's go inside!"

Susanna was still considering how to convince Norah, but when she learned that Norah had consented, she blurted out, "Okay! Let's go."

Susanna bowed her head and pulled out her phone. “Hold on a second.

I need to respond to a message."

Then, Susanna composed a Lengthy message to Sean. “Sean! Drop everything and head home! I've got a surprise in store for you, a real showstopper! Just trust me on this one. You will be happy to see it! Phillip confirmed you've got no prior engagements today. So, high-tail it back home, pronto! The Dreamview Villas. Don't even think about second-guessing. just make a beeline for the villa in five minutes flat! And no, I'm not pulling your leg. Get here as fast as your wheels can carry you!"

Locking her screen, Susanna shot a sweet smile at Norah. “Ready to roll, Norah?"

The next moment, Susanna ushered Norah into the villa, her attention fully engaged. Swinging open the door, Norah's gaze locked onto Sean, lounging on the sofa.

"Well, well, look who decided to grace us with his presence." With a sheepish grin, Susanna kicked off her shoes at the entrance, sliding a pair of slippers toward Norah.

"Have a seat, Norah. I'll fetch you a drink." Dashing past Norah, Susanna went straight to the kitchen.
