Chapter: 65
"Wow, you're incredible, Norah! A female racer! I have videos of your races in my room! I can't believe I'm actually meeting you!" With a cheerful smile, Susanna noticed Norah seated on the couch and drew nearer. “Norah, do you feel any better now?"
“Much better, thank you." Although still weak and dizzy, Norah didn't think it was anything serious. She planned to pick up some medicine later on.
Susanna let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this. “I was quite startled to see Sean carrying you in. He mentioned you needed to rest because you caught a cold and told me not to bother you."
"He brought me here in his arms?"
"Yes, he did." Susanna gazed at Norah and added, “This is the first time I've seen my brother so caring toward a woman. But once I heard it was you, it all made sense."
Leaning in, Susanna whispered to Norah, “Sean is actually Nocturne.”
Then, sitting back with a hint of pride, Susanna said, “He must really admire your skills on the racetrack. How did you two meet? Did you know he's Nocturne?"
Perched on a chair across the room from the sofa, Phillip caught Susanna's words. He knew the answer. Norah had long known about that.
With a hint of intrigue, Norah decided to play along and responded, "Is that so? He's quite remarkable."
Beaming like a proud sibling, Susanna pointed at the kitchen and said, "And he's an excellent cook." She couldn't hide her smug expression.
“He rarely cooks, so you're quite fortunate to experience his cooking on your first visit."
Norah was grateful for the opportunity to sample Sean's cooking, surprised to learn that someone of his stature was skilled in the kitchen.
"Susanna." Sean emerged with the final dish, setting it on the table before announcing, "Dinner's served."
Looking at Norah from head to toe, Susanna strolled over and whispered to Sean, "Norah looks stunning."
Catching Norah's eye, Sean momentarily lost his composure before gently nudging Susanna toward the table, urging, “Just focus on dinner."
With a playful grin, Susanna guided Norah to the dining table and chose a seat beside her. "Norah, you've got to try my brother's cooking," she encouraged.
Susanna laid Norah's plate with food, saying, "Not everyone gets to savor his cooking."
Norah gave the food a try and was immediately impressed. "Delicious."
Susanna's laughter followed, saying, “It looks like you hold a special place for Sean!"
Caught off guard, Norah suddenly coughed on her food. "Ahem..."
As Susanna patted Norah's back, she looked at Sean and back at Norah, bewildered, and said, "Norah, are you alright? Sean, did I say something wrong?"
Susanna felt she just said what was on her mind just now.
Sean calmly poured a glass of water and set it down before Norah, simply stating, "No."
Norah coughed and felt a pain in her throat. She gratefully accepted the water, avoiding Sean's gaze. What did he mean? Did he mean something? She was at a loss for words.
