Chapter: 395

Derek and her had never been this close before. Every time she approached Derek, a disgusted look would cross his face. She hoped time and companionship would melt his disdain. She realized it was her sense of obligation that faded, not his coldness.

Tears blurred Norah's vision with these thoughts, her emotions overwhelming her.

Sean noticed and wrapped her in a comforting embrace. "Norah, I'LL heed your wishes and make time for us. Please don't be upset."

His words eased Norah's sorrow. Seeing him misunderstanding the source of her distress, she gently tapped his shoulder, clarifying, "I'm not upset. I had something to tell you, but it slipped my mind.

I'll share it when I recall."

Her mind was cluttered with memories, causing her to lose her train of thought.

"Norah, I'm here whenever you're ready to talk." Sean's mind was fixed on the fact that Norah was his girlfriend now. He agreed to everything Norah said with a silly smile, delighted by their new relationship.

Norah chuckled at his reaction and teased, "This giggle seems to be a new side of you."

Norah gazed at Sean, words failing her as she leaned into his shoulder, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.

"The most crucial thing is if we ever find our feelings fading, I hope you'll tell me straight away. I'll leave without a fuss," Norah said, her voice thick. By that time, she intended to exit gracefully, without any drama or Lingering attachment.

Sean's grip on Norah's shoulder tightened. “That won't happen. I..." he said.

But Norah cut him off, her tone firm, "Feelings can be so unpredictable, right?" She avoided his gaze, concealing the sorrow in her eyes. "Sean, I'm genuinely invested in us." Her approach to relationships was always with full sincerity.

Sean felt a jolt in his heart at her words. “I'm all in, too," he assured her. His commitment was as real as it got.

“Promise me, then, you'll stay by my side forever, honey." The word slipped from Norah's Lips, shy yet hopeful, a smile blossoming on her face that Sean failed to notice. She dared to hope for a future that wouldn't end in disappointment.

"Absolutely, my honey," Sean replied with warmth, pulling her into his embrace.

They sat by the lake, enveloped in a gentle breeze, the lush grass underfoot. Their tender moment was like a scene lifted from a painting, drawing smiles from passersby. What a Lovely scene!

Susanna was nestled in her bed, enjoying a lazy morning, when her phone rang with Phillip's call.

“Hello, Phillip..." Her eyes barely open, she pressed the phone to her ear, her voice a soft, sleepy murmur as she shifted to lie comfortably on her back.

Phillip, leaning casually against a wall with a playful glint in his eye, observed Sean and Norah in the dining room. Their lunch was enveloped in a bubble of warmth and affection, unmistakably in love.

The pair had returned hand in hand from Sun Park, seemingly inseparable ever since. The beaming on Sean's face left no doubt in Phillip's mind about the trip's romantic success. Norah had unmistakably won Sean's heart.

"Susanna, I've got news," Phillip announced. "Mr. Scott and Miss Wilson are officially an item now."

It took Susanna a moment to process his words. Then, she sat upright.

The phone slipped from her grasp, but she quickly reclaimed it, switched to speaker mode, and cranked up the volume. "Phillip, could you say that again? I didn't catch it."

"Your brother, Mr. Scott, is now with Miss Wilson!"
