Chapter: 317

Norah served the prized cedar wine to Sean and Phillip, along with preparing warm soy milk for Susanna. “Here's the finest cedar wine.

Please enjoy yourselves."

Phillip hesitated, eyeing the liquid before him, mindful of his upcoming drive.

Noticing Phillip's expression, Sean said, "It's alright. It's Norah's treat. Feel free to indulge."

Sean gracefully lifted the goblet, swirling it in a refined manner, exuding an air of nobility.

He brought the glass close to his nose. “This cedar wine is Light, clear, and elegant, with a delightful aroma," he described before taking a sip and relishing its smooth and mellow flavor.

“Are you a connoisseur, Sean Norah raised an eyebrow. “Not everyone is familiar with cedar wine."

This particular Liquor wasn't commonly found, so Norah was pleasantly surprised by its purity during her previous encounter with the Hayes family.

Among the wealthy, wine, champagne and whiskey were commonplace, with wine standing out as a high-end liquor renowned for its rich aroma and distinctive flavor. Affluent connoisseurs often sought aged wine for tasting and collection purposes.

Norah seemed to have monopolized most of the cedar wine due to her fondness for it.

"This is my first time tasting it, and it's excellent liquor." Sean picked up his fork, examining the array of dishes. There were five in total, with only one featuring cilantro.

“Last time, I observed that both Sean and Susanna avoid cilantro.

Therefore, I prepared only one dish containing cilantro. Please give it a try," Norah explained.

Susanna, the group's ambiance specialist, praised each dish from the first to the last, upholding a cheerful atmosphere throughout.

Norah relished this emotional feedback, dining with a content smile.

Sean's attention was inevitably drawn to Norah, stealing occasional glances throughout the meal.

Norah sensed the scrutiny, and even Susanna, not typically quick to notice such subtleties, picked up on it.

Susanna spoke up. "Sean, focus on your meal. Why do you keep staring at Norah? She's not going anywhere."

Hearing this, Sean stifled a chuckle, covering his mouth with a clenched fist. "Let's focus on eating. Talk less."

Susanna felt wronged, realizing that while Norah tolerated her chatter, her brother was beginning to voice his complaints.

Phillip gave Susanna a subtle glance, but regrettably, Susanna missed it and opted to voice her complaints to Norah, “Norah, am I talking too much? Why won't Sean let me get a word in?"

"It's fine. Speak your mind," Norah replied, serving a bite to Susanna. “Sean, I don't mind Susanna for talking over the meals."

Norah dismissed it as a minor issue. Susanna flashed a playful grin at Sean who responded with a helpless smile. With Norah taking Susanna's side, Sean wouldn't say anymore.

Susanna indisputably overindulged after the meal. “Ah, Norah's cooking is superb, far superior to Sean's."
