Chapter: 491

Norah reached out and clasped Sean's hand. She lifted her gaze to lock eyes with him.

"Sean, my dear brother..." Norah had a captivating voice as she playfully winked at him while calling out his name. "Do you enjoy it when I call you that way?"

Sean felt a surge of emotion. With Norah's hair partially dry, he switched off the hairdryer, set it aside, and sat close, holding her hand. "No matter how you address me, honey, I'll be delighted."

Unlike Susanna's approach, Sean took pleasure in Norah's soft-spoken manner of addressing him.

After her shower, Norah's skin carried the sweet aroma of her shower gel and a natural scent, filling the air and slowly captivating Sean.

Sean leaned in, getting closer to her neck as he took a sniff. “Are you wearing perfume?"

The delicate scent captivated his emotions. As he inhaled near her neck, his breath tickled her skin, prompting Norah to push him playfully.

"I didn't wear any. Move aside. It's ticklish." Norah didn't imagine that a bossy CEO like Sean would be so affectionate. He went beyond her expectations.

"Why do you have such a lovely scent?" Sean planted gentle kisses on her neck, sending tingles down her spine and spreading a delightful sensation throughout her body.

"I'm not sure." Norah felt a bit overwhelmed by the closeness, unaccustomed to such intimacy with a man.

Sean's approach was distinct. He had a way of getting close effortlessly.

Norah noticed his strategic thinking. Whenever she needed him, he mysteriously showed up, gradually becoming a familiar presence by her side.

She softly pushed him away but couldn't move far from him. Soon, she felt consumed by the desire he brought to her.

Norah felt herself losing strength but enjoyed the moment. As his hands roamed across her body, she regained some clarity.

“Enough now." Norah clutched his hand firmly and made her way to her feet. "I think I'll head to bed now. Darling, maybe you should go back to your room."

Sean glanced at his newly awakened joystick and then at his determined girlfriend, Letting out a helpless sigh. "Sure. Sleep well.

Let me know if you need anything, okay?"

He respected Norah's boundaries, willing to wait until she was ready to take the next step in their relationship.

With a heavy heart, Sean walked to the door. Norah watched him leave and couldn't help but smile. She walked him to the door and stopped mid-step. “Just a second, darling."

Sean turned back, puzzled by her request.

"Good night. And thank you." With a gentle kiss on his cheek, Norah left a trace of her affection. "Sweet dreams."

As he lost sight of her smile, Sean touched his cheek and whispered, "Good night, honey."

This was a new sensation for Sean, the sweet stirrings of love. He couldn't contain his excitement and tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. He pondered if Norah had gone to sleep and whether she might have nightmares. He hoped Norah would grow fonder of him with each passing day.

At last, Sean understood why his father always stressed the importance of earning more money. He realized that only wealth could ensure a comfortable life for his girlfriend.
