Chapter: 679
She couldn't comprehend why the discussion had shifted to Kason.
"Can you clarify what you meant earlier?"
"Just the literal interpretation."
Norah pulled her hand back abruptly. “I'm feeling a bit worn out; I need to rest. Mr. Scott, you should also take a break."
She took a step back, sidestepping his reach for her hand, and briskly entered her home, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.
Sean had intended to offer Norah some comforting words, believing that he might have upset her earlier and wanting to make amends. He hadn't anticipated the situation to escalate as it did.
He stared intently at the villa. Was Norah truly still thinking of Kason?
A sensation akin to ants crawling on his heart emerged, and he furrowed his brow. Norah had explicitly mentioned that Kason was merely a friend. But was it possible that they were more than just friends?
A cold smirk appeared on his face as he climbed into the car.
“Phillip, take me to the Hancock Shooting Club."
The tense atmosphere was unsettling. Phillip put out his cigarette, sensing that Sean's apology hadn't gone smoothly. Not only was Norah not appeased, but Sean seemed even more agitated.
Their relationship was like a rollercoaster; moments ago they were glued together, but now tension hung in the air.
He skillfully started the car. "Mr. Scott, Susanna wants to know when you'll be back. She and Alice are at the Glamour Club."
The mention of "Mr. Scott" brought to mind Norah's harsh tone, causing Sean to frown with impatience.
“Make sure Susanna stays safe; I don't know when I'll be back."
After Susanna nearly faced danger, a team of bodyguards began shadowing her, ensuring her safety and preventing any future risky situations.
Sean reclined, closing his eyes slightly. "Assign two people to monitor Norah and Kason. If they interact, let me know right away."
Phillip stayed composed outwardly, though he was internally surprised.
Did Sean suspect that Norah and Kason were involved romantically?
From his point of view, this seemed improbable!
He wanted to speak up but was afraid of upsetting Sean, so he stayed quiet and concentrated on driving.
Sean twiddled his fingers thoughtfully. “Norah, you won't let me down, will you? We promised to be truthful," he murmured under his breath.
Norah walked back to the villa, tossing her bag away, and started unbuttoning her clothes as she climbed the stairs.
Upon reaching the bathroom, she filled the bathtub to the brim and poured in rose essential oil before easing her naked body into the water.
