Chapter: 63

Remembering her ex-husband, Norah scoffed with a cold glare.

Norah thought that while Sean might be all about work for now, his heart could change its tune down the road. She figured there'd be a woman who'd make him fall uncontrollably in love. She quietly pondered who that lucky woman would be and grinned to herself.

The raindrops tapped sharply against the window. Norah sat on the sofa, gazing at her phone, and suddenly felt a wave of sleepiness.

Setting her phone aside, she leaned back and got ready for a nap.

Everyone else had cleared out of the conference room, but Sean remained, deeply engrossed in his documents.

After two hours of meetings, Sean felt fatigue creeping in. Aware that Norah was still in his office, he asked Phillip, "What's on the agenda for the rest of the day?"

Phillip checked Sean's schedule and informed him, "You have a dinner meeting with a business partner tonight at 7:30 pm."

"Call off the dinner," Sean said firmly.

Sean closed the document and said, "I would like to head back to Dreamview Villas."

Phillip hesitated, reminding him, “But we've had this dinner planned for a month and our business partner..."

"Cancel it," Sean declared, making his way to his office with determination.

Upon entering his office, Sean was greeted by the sight of Norah asleep on the couch.

Norah's chestnut hair spread out on the cushion, catching the Light and giving off a gentle radiance. She was nestled into the couch, wearing the white Loungewear in his wardrobe.

Drawing nearer, Sean noticed the rosy hue of her cheeks and her slightly parted lips as she breathed softly.

Sensing something was amiss, Sean leaned over to check her temperature. He found her forehead alarmingly warm.

Norah felt his touch and nuzzled against his hand like an adorable kitten.

Sean's heart softened.

When Norah next opened her eyes, she was in an unfamiliar, spacious bed, causing her a moment of disorientation as she scanned her surroundings.

The room's aesthetic was stark, dominated by cool tones and minimalist decor, lending it a somewhat austere appearance. A glass wall revealed a meticulously maintained garden outside, contrasting the interior's chill.

It was now night, and the room's dim lighting barely held the darkness at bay. Rising, Norah felt a pervasive weakness and a pounding in her head.

She hopped out of bed without shoes, landing on a plush blanket.

Heading toward the window, she glimpsed a spacious garden below, filled with unique plant varieties.

Looking through the glass, she realized she was still clad in white Loungewear.

As Norah lost herself in thought, the door creaked open softly.
