Chapter: 507

Norah's body in his arms felt so warm and soft, emitting a faint but alluring fragrance. Sean placed his chin on her shoulder, gently patting her back to calm and reassure her.

"Yeah. I thought you were kidnapped by the Breaker since I couldn't reach you," Sean replied.

Hearing such tender words, Norah wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning her body back a little to look straight into his eyes. “I'm sorry. It's my fault. I promise that next time, I will tell you before I do anything. This will never happen again.”

Norah could easily get so immersed in her work and had forgotten to contact Sean and give him a heads-up. With her phone on mute, she didn't call him back until she finished all her tasks. If she were in Sean's shoes, she would be on edge.

ALL this time, Sean's expression had been light, and so it was hard to tell whether he was angry or not.

However, Norah noticed that his reaction seemed to be less enthusiastic than before. Just a few days ago, whenever he saw her, he would be the one to initiate intimacy. But today, when she came back, she was the one who first hugged him.

"Don't be angry anymore, okay?" Norah softened her tone and gently kissed him on the corner of his mouth. "I have deeply realized my mistake, and it won't happen again."

In fact, Sean was much relieved when he learned Norah was safe. He was just being a little indifferent to see what she would say to him after she returned.

Seeing her delicate face and hearing her soft voice, he finally let out a smile and said, “I'll remember what you just said."

Norah looked so adorable when she acted spoiled. Just gazing at her made Sean's heart soft. How could he continue to ignore her, let alone be angry? It was impossible.

“Anyway, I'm hungry. Shall we go eat?" As soon as Norah finished speaking, her stomach growled. It was as if all her tense emotions had finally dissipated.

Swallowing hard, Norah loosened her grip on his neck and walked toward the table with her head looking down to hide her embarrassment.

“Let's eat."

Staring intently at Norah's back, Sean couldn't help but be delighted.

Phillip warned him before that Norah had many secrets and might be a dangerous woman, but Sean didn't think so. He only saw her as a very attractive, kind-hearted, and smart person. In his opinion, Norah was actually flawless, the perfect girl that any man would want.

The two had a romantic dinner. There were candles on their table, and the food was delicious. Everything was so beautiful and peaceful.

After dinner, the two sat on the sofa in the living room to rest for a while. At this time, Norah took out four baby's fist-sized porcelain vials out of her bag and placed them on the table.

Norah's lips curled into a smile, her eyes sparkling with mischief, “Darling, are you curious about how I spent my afternoon? Well, that's the answer."

She gestured toward the white porcelain vials, their smooth surfaces unadorned by any patterns or drawings, yet emanating a comforting warmth in the ambient Light.

The four identical white porcelain vials stood in perfect alignment.

Sean's hand extended, selecting one at random. With a gentle twist, he uncorked the bottle, revealing its contents: a collection of petite brown pills. Half-filled, they emitted a delicate tinkling sound as he gave the vial a slight shake.

Sean's fingers grasped another white porcelain vial, distinct from the first. This time, its contents differed - small white pills nestled within.

Surveying the two vials before him, Sean now grasped their contents.

"Did you acquire the medication this afternoon? What are they?" Sean inquired, his tone laced with curiosity.
