Chapter: 594

"Okay, I understand you were looking out for me." Norah nestled back into his chest and said, "But you're my boyfriend, and I want my friends to know you. And about your friends, it feels like I haven't really met them."

Norah was curious. Was Sean not much of a social person? Did he just spend all his time wrapped up in work? Did he never go out to unwind and enjoy himself?

"I do have friends. It's just that when we met, they were all abroad for different reasons and haven't come back since." He chuckled, a slight vibration in his chest.

Sean did have a couple of close friends, and if they learned he was currently seeing someone, they'd probably be quite surprised.

"That's a shame." Norah didn't know much about Sean's past, so she simply nodded in response. "When your friends come back, will you introduce me to them?"

“Absolutely, you're my girlfriend, and I want you to meet my friends.”

"You're not bothered that I've divorced?"

"What about it? Your first time was with me."

Norah's face immediately turned red, not wanting to appear vulnerable in front of him.

Sean enjoyed teasing Norah about this, but she avoided the subject, pretending not to be affected. “So, you are just concerned about my first time."

Her tone shifted abruptly as she said, "It's a shame your first time wasn't with me."

Norah buried her face in his chest, hiding her expression. Sean couldn't see her face and thought she was genuinely upset, so he held her tighter.

"I... It was also my first time." His voice cracked, and he blushed with embarrassment.

What? It was Sean's first time, too? Norah lifted her head in disbelief, staring at him with a mix of curiosity and skepticism, her eyes spelling out one word clearly. Unbelievable.

A large hand swooped over Norah's eyes.

"Believe it or not, it's all up to you, you know."

Sean left it at that, no further explanations.

Norah couldn't help but grin, touched by his thoughtfulness. It didn't matter whether he'd been through this before or not.

His past didn't concern her; all that mattered was they were together now.

"I know, sweetheart. I'll take your word for it."

Sweet words spoken in moments of tenderness shouldn't be taken too seriously, Norah realized. After all, she couldn't just believe anything simply because someone said it.

She just couldn't.

But such words couldn't be taken back either; they just stuck.

Snuggled against his chest, she relished the serene moment.
