Chapter: 423

“Wouldn't this interfere with your household chores?" Norah asked.

"I've got work to handle overseas as well. Don't fret about me.

Focus on your own affairs." Realizing his words sounded a bit harsh, he quickly softened his tone. "I mean, I've got things under control.

No need for you to worry about me."

However, his attempt at gentleness didn't fare much better. As soon as Sean finished speaking, Norah burst into laughter. “Alright, got tio How had she just now discovered this side of him? He used to come off as cold and calculating, yet now he anxiously explained himself, fearing her anger at misspoken words. Was she truly so unforgiving?

Norah lowered her head, taking a bite of her spaghetti. Unconsciously, a smile played on her Lips.

The restaurant Sean discovered surely didn't disappoint in the taste department.

Despite the delicious offerings, Norah's appetite was lacking. She barely made a dent in her spaghetti, leaving two-thirds untouched.

Conversely, Sean polished off his steak, even devouring half of the portion she set aside.

As the main course was cleared away, Sean leaned back, awaiting dessert impatiently. "Now, can you reveal what you've got in that bag?"

The package wasn't particularly large, but its odor was pungent. Sean, with his keen sense of smell, found it difficult to bear.

Norah nodded, contemplating for a moment before shaking her head.

"Let's indulge in dessert first."

She had a fondness for all things beautiful and a sweet tooth to match. It being her inaugural visit to this restaurant, she was eager to sample their desserts.

Sean grinned. "You're a fan of desserts?"

“Who isn't keen on something sweet?" Norah replied with a mysterious air, “Let me clue you in. I whip up some killer desserts."

“You're into baking?" he queried.

“Absolutely. I've got a knack for cooking, baking included."

As they conversed, the restaurant's desserts arrived.

A chocolate mousse cake with a drizzle of strawberry sauce adorned the table.

Sipping his red wine, Sean abstained from the dessert before him.

Sweet treats weren't to his liking, but he'd ordered it with Norah in mind.

Back when he used to bring Susanna here, Susanna adored these desserts the most.

Norah took a bite, savoring the sweet aroma of cream that filled her mouth. It was almost overwhelmingly saccharine.
