Chapter: 637
“I'll be right outside, Mr. Scott."
Suddenly, Norah and Sean found themselves alone in the living room, engulfed by quietness.
Norah moved closer to Sean, leaning her head against his chest.
She found comfort in his broad shoulders and enjoyed resting her head there while unwinding.
Sean gently ran his fingers through her hair. "Are you tired?"
His voice caused his chest to vibrate slightly, which Norah could feel on her cheek.
"I'm not tired. Just pondering over something."
She closed her eyes and stayed quiet.
She decided not to share the Wilson family's issues with anyone just yet.
Perhaps in a few days or a month, she would reveal something that would astonish everyone in Glophia about the Wilson family.
Sean gently ran his fingers through Norah's hair, then he closed his eyes.
The room had been quiet.
Maybe it was Norah's tears earlier, but as she nestled into the warm embrace, her nerves relaxed, and sleepiness washed over her.
When Susanna bounded downstairs with joy, she caught Sean's silent gesture, his finger pressed against his lips, signaling for her to lower her voice.
Observing the scene, Susanna tiptoed gently.
Norah adorned in subtle makeup lay nestled in Sean's embrace, serene and softly breathing.
"Sean, what's the plan?" Susanna whispered.
Susanna figured Norah must be exhausted to fall asleep like that.
"How about you head out first?" Sean asked.
"No, I want to stay here."
With wide eyes, she said, “Norah's got a room all set up for me.”
Pointing upstairs, she mimicked walking with her fingers. “I'll go upstairs to rest. Sean, make sure Norah's okay."
Susanna trusted Sean's integrity. She was convinced that even if Norah stripped down before him, he'd remain composed and honorable.
She was mistaken. Love had a way of testing one's self-control.
