Chapter: 629

Thoughts of who might have killed her parents haunted her.

Regaining her focus, she turned, only to collide with someone unexpectedly.

Lost in her thoughts, she failed to notice someone standing behind her.

She took a few steps back and noticed the man wearing a sharp suit, looking quite charming. He looked like he had just come from a fancy event.

His eyes were fixed on her with stern intensity.

"Darling? What brings you here all by yourself?"

Sean didn't reply. Ever since she exited the car, he hadn't taken his eyes off her.

She wore the dress they bought at the mall yesterday, with a bit of soft makeup on.

The diamond brooch pinned to her dress sparkled, and her earrings gleamed in her ears.

Those were the presents from Susanna and him.

He noticed she was wearing the gift he gave her for the event. Norah had never worn his gifts like this before.

After giving her the gifts, he never saw her wear them. He thought she didn't like them.

It turned out that he had been mistaken about that.

Sean gazed warmly at Norah, his eyes steady.

She nudged him gently, asking, "Why the intense stare? Where's Phillip? Wasn't he with you?"

At the gate of her villa, she never thought he'd be all by himself.

"How Long have you been here? Why didn't you call?"

Shaking his arm, she suggested, "Let's head inside and chat."

Sean's heart skipped a beat when Norah suddenly came up to him.

"Sure."

"Take a seat. I'll go change upstairs.”

Wearing formal attire wasn't ideal. Hurrying, Norah switched into more comfortable clothes after ushering Sean inside.

As the days went by, the heat kept rising. Glophia was now in the midst of a scorching summer.

As they got back, the central air conditioner in the villa was already running. Norah caught her reflection in the mirror, noticing the makeup on her face. She hesitated briefly before deciding to leave it on until evening.
