Chapter: 819

Last time, Sean's intervention and Kaiden's testimony cleared her suspicion. This time, it would be tougher.

She gently squeezed Sean's hand and gave him a nod.

A flicker of doubt crossed Sean's eyes. Norah appeared composed, which made him question whether her previous fear, after the unintended killing of the Fox Alliance members, was genuine or an act.

With this thought, he posed the question.

A faint smile appeared on her face as she asked, “How do you see me?

Was it an act?"

Sean fell silent.

At that moment, his only concern was Norah's safety. Noticing her slightly reddened eyes, his heart ached even more. How could he have the mental space to ponder her emotional state?

All he wanted was to offer her comfort.

"It doesn't matter, Norah. I just want you to be okay."

Sean dismissed the need to probe further and pulled Norah into his arms. "What I'm trying to say is, I'm here for you, no matter what."

From the moment they were in a serious relationship, he had resolved to stand by her and embrace all that she was.

Compatibility wasn't something people were born with. The quirks of daily life and differing temperaments could be adjusted over time.

Norah was deeply touched by his words.

"Sean, you're such a charmer. Have you really never fallen for anyone else before?" she inquired.

“Only you," Sean replied.

Norah recalled the note he had sent with a pink crystal, proclaiming she was his one and only.

She returned his embrace and whispered, "Thank you, Sean."

He had chosen to trust her without reservations, dedicating his love solely to her.

In contrast, if this had been Derek, he would have faulted her for keeping secrets.

Derek was no match for Sean, Norah concluded.

“If you want to thank me, why not do it with your actions?"

Sean fixed his gaze on Norah, his eyes lingering on her red lips.

His Adam's apple bobbed visibly, adding a layer of tension to the air.
