Chapter: 885

For Norah, true relaxation was coming home, slipping off her shoes, unhooking her bra, and sinking into the sofa to watch videos on her phone.

“That sounds great," she responded.

She went to the fridge and grabbed a coke, enjoying the refreshing sip. The coolness sent a delightful chill through her.

In the heat of summer, nothing beats coke paired with watermelon.

She tapped on a large watermelon in the fridge, smiled with satisfaction at the sound.

During the warmer months, watermelon was a staple in her fridge.

Despite knowing that eating too much could be unsettling due to its cold nature, her craving was too strong to ignore. She often bought two watermelons at a time, making sure her fridge was always stocked.

With a pleased expression, she closed the fridge. Watermelon was her favorite snack while watching TV.

"Today at Susanna's ward, my mother seemed a bit cold towards you.

I hope you won't take her words seriously." Sean spoke softly, concentrating on chopping vegetables.

Norah shook her head in reassurance. "It's okay, I understand."

She sat at the table, a coke in her hand.

“Your mother and Susanna are quite similar, in both looks and characters, right?"

Even with two adult children, Kayla retained a youthful appearance.

"I'm sorry about how my mother acted. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again," Sean apologized on behalf of his mother.

Before they met, Sean had assured Norah that his mother was kind- hearted and easy-going. However, her first impression was quite harsh, as Sean's mother openly criticized Norah. Fortunately, Norah let it slide, avoiding any further tension.

“Don't worry about it. We talked about this yesterday, right? It's really no problem, darling," Norah comforted Sean.

She made it clear that their relationship came first.

Feeling reassured by Norah's understanding, Sean exhaled a breath he hadn't realized he was holding.

"But Nancy Chase isn't as innocent as she seems. You might want to look into that."

"I've already asked Phillip to check into it. Where's Alice? Is she coming to dinner?"

"She'll be back later. We shouldn't wait for her."

Alice had made some new friends. Norah was eager to hear about her day when she got back.

Sean looked at Norah, relieved she wasn't upset, and continued cooking attentively.
