Chapter: 856

She yearned for a moment of pleasure, to feel loved, and to be unequivocally chosen by someone.

He appeared in her life at the perfect moment, gradually winning her heart day by day.

Having already considered the worst possible outcomes, she now focused on making the most of their time together, determined to create meaningful experiences while their love still burned brightly.

Norah's murmurs, like an irresistible spell, ignited an intense passion within Sean.

"Norah, I feel the same. ALL I want is you."

He loved her for whom she was.

"My devotion to you is eternal."

Norah had heard such sweet declarations countless times before. She could now face Sean's sweet words with composure.

She inquired, "A thousand years of affection?"

“Not just that, eternity.”

Sean vowed that his heart would forever belong to Norah alone.

In the hospital.

The Powells and Carters stood vigil outside the examination room, their faces marked by displeasure. An event like this at a wedding brought joy to no one.

A tense silence enveloped them until Coen finally spoke up. "It was obvious to everyone that the video shown at the wedding was filmed by you. Derek, whatever your game is, do not tarnish Madeline's reputation!"

Derek lowered his head, saying nothing.

Rhoda, wiping her tears, expressed her concern, "Madeline is still pregnant. The shock was so sudden. Will she be able to keep the baby?"

"What are you insinuating? Is it all Derek's fault that Madeline fell?

Stop accusing him. He's your son-in-law and will not shoulder the blame unjustly. We still don't know who recorded that video." Seated, Sharon folded her arms across her chest and spoke with a tone of disdain.

Derek's father, however, agreed with Coen's point. Pulling his wife aside, he cautioned, "They meant no harm. Let's not blow this out of proportion, okay?"

He believed his son bore greater responsibility for failing to check the equipment and adequately care for the bride.

Holding Madeline's cherished necklace in her grasp, Kathy offered a silent prayer.

Coen simply wanted to discreetly remind Derek. Upon hearing Sharon's statement, he broke into a cold sweat, fearing that Derek might never assist him in business in the future.

What a stupid woman! He didn't mean any harm; couldn't she notice it?

Or did she intentionally make that remark to undermine his family?
