Chapter: 866

She blinked, looking uncertain as she thought of Sharon, who was harsh and unkind.

"Norah, I'm the one you'll be living with. Whether they like you or not doesn't matter. You are the best in my eyes."

Norah felt somewhat reassured. What mattered to her was Sean's stance -would he side with his parents or her?

Conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were quite common. The outcome often hinged on the sons‘ decisions. In the Carter family, Derek had always sided with his mother without question, frequently scolding Norah.

She resolved not to be a coward anymore. If Sean's parents proved difficult, she wouldn't bend over backward to please them.

"Why don't you meet my parents before you head to Silverdale tomorrow?"

Sean placed his hand on her waist reassuringly and said, “Don't worry.

Think of them just as you would a friend's parents.

"It's a bit stressful, meeting my boyfriend's parents."

He could tell she was half—joking. He gave her waist a gentle squeeze and teased, “Take it easy. By the way, where are your parents? You've never mentioned them."

Norah clung to his waist and rested her cheek against his chest.

Just as Sean thought she might not want to discuss her parents, her words caught his attention.

"I actually never met my parents. I was on my own from a young age.

I only learned about them much later, but by then, they had already passed away."

She had never experienced parental love and would never have the chance.

Sean embraced Norah tightly, realizing why she rarely shared details of her childhood. It dawned on him that her past held a lot of sadness.

"I don't have parents."

“From now on, I'll be your family. Susanna and my parents-they'll all be your family too."

Seeing Norah's vulnerable side was rare, and it saddened Sean. He loved her deeply, and her feelings greatly influenced him. He used to rarely experience intense emotions, but since meeting Norah, his emotional life had deepened.

Norah had realized that as long as she cherished herself, she wouldn't fear the fleeting nature of others' affection.

She had experienced numerous trials before understanding this. While she trusted Sean, she still couldn't fully trust his words.

“Speaking of which, is there any connection between you and the Wilson family in Glophia?"

Sean's memory was suddenly jogged. He recalled the moment when he encountered the Wilson family name on Norah's name card, a subconscious link forming with the Wilson family in Glophia.

“Do you mean Corrin's family?"
