Chapter: 886

Norah valued Sean's efforts in the kitchen, understanding that he cooked to appease her. She was happy to let him lead when it came to cooking, knowing he was good at it.

And her calm attitude reassured him that she felt no bitterness.

After dinner, Alice returned home. Upon her arrival, Norah offered a stern reprimand.

Norah chastised her for venturing out without employing a wheelchair.

With Sean present, Norah exhibited more self-restraint than Alice anticipated. Nonetheless, Alice could sense her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.

"I assure you, Norah, it won't recur," Alice asserted.

Norah's countenance softened upon hearing this.

"If you don't mind, Alice, I'd like to converse with Sean for a bit.

We'll catch up later," Norah proposed.

"Sure."

She greeted Sean before ascending the stairs at a leisurely pace.

Though Sean desired to linger, he knew he must depart. His girlfriend was leaving for Silverdale tomorrow, in need of a restful evening.

They should probably conclude their evening.

The dishes were left in the sink for the maid to attend to and the table was wiped clean. Sean found himself with no tasks and no justification for prolonging his stay.

After exchanging a few words with Norah, he prepared to take his leave.

“Honey, I'm heading home. Rest well." Sean tenderly kissed her Lips and said, "Good night."

Norah reciprocated the kiss, refraining from urging him to linger.

"Good night."

Observing Sean's departure, Norah ascended the stairs to seek out Alice. She gently tapped on the door and proposed, "Alice, care for a bath?"

Alice cast her a delightful glance, responding, "Sounds delightful."

They filled the tub with steaming water, enveloping the room in a misty haze. As the steam billowed, the ambiance transformed into a realm of enchantment.

Seated in a milk bath, surrounded by crimson rose petals and drifting bubbles, Alice and Norah savored the moment.

Alice sighed. “This is incredibly soothing. I could indulge in this daily."

The bath seemed to rejuvenate Norah's spirit as she surrendered to its comforting embrace.
