Chapter: 290

“Okay, Norah, you sound quite profound."

Observing Susanna's puzzled expression, Norah smiled and reassured her, "You'll understand when you meet someone you Like."

Norah's perspective stemmed from her previous failed marriage. She believed if the feelings weren't mutual, they weren't meant to be together. Similarly, she acknowledged that someone could easily fall in Love with another person at first sight.

“I may not fully grasp it at the moment." Due to health concerns, the Scott family restricted Susanna's interactions with outsiders, so the only man Susanna knew except for her family members was Phillip.

"It doesn't matter when you meet them, as long as it's the right person." Norah gently stroked Susanna's hair, which was soft and pleasant to the touch.

As they conversed, Sean prepared a few dishes and invited them to eat.

The servants were absent, and Sean single-handedly prepared all the dishes. The kitchen was filled with the aroma of food.

Norah found the food on the table to be exceptionally delicious, even more so than the dishes prepared by the servants in the past.

Pulling out a chair, Sean invited, “Norah, please, take a seat."

Once settled, he placed a glass of water before her.

“Wow, Sean, your culinary skills have truly flourished. The aroma of these dishes is delightful. Norah, please dig in."

Susanna's delighted expression as she held her fork infused the atmosphere with joy, dispelling any lingering awkwardness between Sean and Norah.

Norah savored each dish, discovering them all to be exceptionally delicious. Glancing up at Sean, who sat across from her, she met his gaze.

At this moment, amidst the warmth of the atmosphere, Sean's typically stern demeanor seemed to soften. As he met Norah's gaze, something unspoken passed between them.

“My culinary skills still pale in comparison to Norah's. I am still Learning."

Norah was quick to reply, “Sean, you're far too modest. Your dishes are impeccable and truly delicious."

Susanna, fork in hand, exclaimed, "Oh dear, Sean, when did you try Norah's cooking? I haven't had the pleasure yet!"

As she spoke, Susanna lowered her head and pouted, resembling a spoiled girl. Norah couldn't help but find her endearing.

"Next time I have a moment, I'll invite you over to my place and cook for you," Norah offered generously, glancing at Sean. "Sean, if you're free, you're more than welcome to join Susanna.”

Susanna cheered gleefully. "Yay! I'd love to have dinner at Norah's house!"

“Norah, as long as you invite me, I will make time." When Sean spoke, his words were drawn out with a hint of laziness in his tone. His deep, rugged voice stirred memories in Norah, reminding her of that fateful night.

Rubbing her cheeks, Norah couldn't help but blame herself. She felt she shouldn't dwell on that evening.

After dinner, Norah bid farewell to Sean and Susanna. "Susanna, thank you for inviting me over. Sean, thank you for your hospitality.”

Norah gently ran her slender fingers through Susanna's hair, bidding her farewell with a soft, “Until next time."
