Chapter: 820
"Norah, I want to kiss you," he murmured, his voice deep and rough yet barely audible. Norah nodded, her consent silent but clear.
In the next moment, Sean's lips met hers, his large hand cradling the back of her head.
Norah tilted her head back, welcoming his kiss.
She opened her eyes slightly, taking in the close-up view of his striking features. His eyes were narrowed, flickering with emotion as he lost himself in the moment.
“Norah, stay with me here," he whispered between kisses, his voice muffled. Subconsciously, Norah closed her eyes.
His tongue danced against hers, playful and probing, coaxing her to relax.
A soft moan escaped her as she gently pushed against his shoulder.
"Stop," she gasped, her tone soft yet tinged with a hint of reluctance.
Sean straightened up, his eyes opening to meet those of the woman held close in his arms.
Her cheeks were flushed a vibrant red, resembling a blooming rose, her gaze slightly unfocused.
With a light chuckle, Sean teased, "You know, Norah, I once heard that women often say what they don't mean it. You want to keep this going, right?"
Before Norah could respond, Sean's lips met hers once more in a gentle, tender kiss.
Suddenly, words failed her. Though she had always thought the saying was a bit cliché, coming from Sean, it somehow rang true.
Embracing him, she tightened her hold around his neck, deepening their kiss.
Meanwhile, squatting at the stair's base, Susanna covered her mouth tightly, eyes wide as she watched the couple below share a passionate embrace.
She hadn't planned on witnessing this intimate moment. Awakened by thirst, she had stumbled downstairs in search of water, only to find Norah and Sean entwined on the living room sofa.
It wasn't her intention to spy. They were the ones in the open after all. So, she simply sat and watched.
As she observed, she couldn't help but think how Sean's handsome features paired with Norah's beauty perfectly embodied the quintessential scene of a powerful business tycoon and his stunning girlfriend in the TV shows.
Realizing that Sean and Norah seemed truly content together brought a sense of peace to her heart.
Outside the interrogation room at the police station stood several policemen, eyeing their prisoner.
"Confess what the Inferno Alliance members did at the Glamour Club," one officer demanded.
Across the table, a bald man, with bandaged legs and wrists, looked pale and weak. He was supposed to be recovering in the hospital, but Kason had insisted on the interrogation.
After all, his wounds didn't stop him from talking.
But despite the probing questions, the bald man remained unresponsive, staring vacantly at the wall.
