Chapter: 688

Sean sensed something was amiss. He had learned a lot about communicating with women from his sister. She had once told him that a one-word response from a woman usually meant she was angry. Women were sensitive to these things! As a man, it was his role to make amends.

He picked up his phone with that thought in mind.

"Why did you transfer money to me?" Norah texted. She had found $

9999 transferred to her account from Sean, which puzzled her.

"I wasn't very nice today," Sean replied. "I didn't mean it. This is my way of apologizing. If it's not enough, I'll transfer more."

He sent another text. “Honey, it's all my fault. Can you forgive me?"

One message after another appeared on the phone screen, softening Norah's heart slightly.

"It's all your fault?" Norah texted. How could it be all his fault?

"Yes, it's all my fault. I will consider your feelings next time,"

Sean replied.

From his few intimate encounters with Norah, Sean had come to understand that while she was not entirely opposed to kissing and hugging, she would instinctively resist going further.

The last time they had sex, she had been drunk. Such a situation should not happen again.

“I'll see what you do."

“I'm tired. I'm going to sleep."

"Good night."

The brevity of Norah's three messages made it difficult to gauge her emotions. Fortunately, she was still open to communication. There was a chance for them to reconcile.

Susanna had exaggerated the situation, leading him to believe that Norah no longer wanted to speak to him.

Relieved by the positive turn of events, Sean played a few more rounds at the club before leaving with Phillip.

In the bustling Cardiac Surgery Department, the morning meeting had just wrapped up when Baylor sauntered over to Norah's desk.

"Dr. Wilson, mind if we have a quick chat when you are not busy?"

“My time is valuable. Just say what is on your mind."

With most of the department's doctors present, Baylor opted not to discuss matters there.

He pushed his hair back and asked, "Would you be available for Lunch at the cafeteria around noon? It's my treat."

Norah frowned and replied, "Dr. Padilla, I have a boyfriend. I prefer to my distance from other men."
