Chapter: 655

She teased him lightly and led him inside the room.

Sean remained silent the entire time, just watching her quietly.

When Norah glanced into his eyes, she sensed that he was upset.

However, the reason remained unknown to her.

Susanna and Alice welcomed Norah warmly.

Susanna stealthily snapped pictures of them. Ever since Norah's return, the pair had been inseparable, their affection evident. This made Susanna quietly delighted.

With Susanna and Alice present in the living room, Norah guided Sean straight to the bedroom upstairs.

She playfully pushed Sean onto the sofa and sat close, their noses almost touching.

Sean looked down slightly, his expression still cool, making no move to pull away.

"Sean, what's wrong? You haven't said a word since I got back."

"Do you know Gil well?" Sean asked.

“Yes, my decision to work at Silver Boulder Private Hospital was partly because of him," Norah replied.

The other reason was her desire to make a meaningful impact as a doctor.

Feeling a bit tired, Norah turned to support herself with one hand, relaxing her hold and curling into Sean's embrace.

"Why do you ask?"

Norah sensed Sean's anger, but she was sure it wasn't because of her.

She bit her lip in thought. She had spent the whole day at the hospital, only visiting Gil's place for a casual gathering afterward.

She glanced down and caught Sean's eyes, filled with complaint.

“Since you're close with Gil, why didn't you invite me to join you for dinner tonight? Don't you see me as a suitable boyfriend?"

His eyes darkened. He felt a surge of excitement upon receiving Norah's message, hoping she'd take him along.

However, she merely informed him.

He was familiar with Gil. Gil had been Susanna's attending doctor and was a well-respected professor.

He hadn't realized Norah and Gil were so close.

"I thought you would ask me to come with you."
