?Chapter 315:


    Norah had finished sorting out the medicines and medicinal materials, but she also wanted to bring back some weapons and ammunition. In her home country, possessing firearms was prohibited, but she still wanted to have one for self-defense. She didn’t n to take much—just a few pistols and bullets.


    As she inspected the weapons, she noted their high quality. She could finally discard the inferior domestic batch she had. While gathering the medicinal materials, she had also taken the opportunity to visit the armory at Alice’s house. After selecting several guns and bullets, she stowed them in her bag.


    When she returned to the hotel, she casually dropped the bag in front of Sean. “Darling, I want to take these things back.” The ck handbag, filled with metal items, made a soft clink as itnded on the table.


    Sean unzipped the bag, discovering three Beretta handguns and a stack of bullets nestled inside. Norah lounged against the sofa, exuding an exceptional beauty as she gazed at Sean expectantly. “What’s wrong?” she asked when he remained silent.


    Sean chuckled. Initially, he had been worried about Norah handling a gun, but it turned out she was even more skilled at using it than he was. He realized Norah excelled not only in shooting but also in darts and racing cars. Was it natural talent, or the result of years of diligent practice?


    “Nothing.” Sean zipped up the bag and added, “Give everything you want to bring back to Philip and ask him to pack it up.” Sean always presented himself as someone willing to do anything for Norah. Over time, Norah had grown ustomed to the assistance provided by Sean’s personal assistant, Philip, who was efficient in all tasks and, most importantly, loyal.


    Norah wondered if she could have an assistant aspetent as Philip. It was a pity that Alice couldn’t speak Norah’s mother tongue; otherwise, Alice would have been perfect for the role.


    “Honey, have you decided to leave tomorrow?” Sean asked. The flight from Ond to Cend was over ten hours. Norah snapped out of her reverie and nodded at Sean. “Yeah, we’ll leave tomorrow after picking up Alice.”


    The discussion then turned to the details of their flight and the arrangements for picking up Alice. “I will take Alice home to personally look after her. She is much better now. As for her daily needs, I n to have a nurse cover them. When she no longer requires a nurse, I’ll take her for a walk around Glophia,” Norah exined.


    Simply put, Alice would be Norah’spanion when exploring Glophia. Norah would spend time with Alice, but she couldn’t be by her side twenty-four hours a day, hence the need for a nurse.


    Sean nodded in understanding. “I’ll arrange for a nurse for her.” Sean was more cautious than usual due to Jimena’s actions. In any case, Norah didn’t have any objection to his offer. She smiled at him and murmured, “Okay, thank you, darling.”


    Norah’s prating gaze fixed on Sean as she observed his facial expressions and features. They were about to return to Glophia, but more importantly, they were returning together as a couple. Everyone back home would know that after her divorce from Derek, she had be Sean’s girlfriend. The rumor mill was bound to have a field day, but Norah couldn’t bring herself to care. After all, this wasn’t the first time she had been the subject of gossip.


    She was well aware of all the rumors that had been whispered within the Carter family when she was still married to Derek, as well as the malicious gossip that spread after her divorce. The people who knew nothing about Norah’s life were the ones with the most spiteful things to say. All the humiliation and nder Norah had suffered were born from jealousy over her beauty and personal experiences.


    Even though Norah and Sean had been in a rtionship for several days now, there were times when Norah could hardly believe that she was truly Sean’s girlfriend, and he, her boyfriend.


    Sean took a seat beside Norah and pulled her into his arms, effectively ending Norah’s train of thoughts. He stared into her eyes, a hint of frustration in his gaze. “Honey, you don’t need to thank me. I want to do those things for you. Do you still not feel close to me?”


    Couples who shared a deep bond didn’t feel the need to thank each other so frequently for every little thing the partner did for them. But whenever Sean did something for Norah, she wasted no time expressing her gratitude.


    Sean sincerely hoped that Norah would depend on him as much as Susanna did whenever something happened to her. Each time Norah turned to him for help, he experienced an ineffable sense of fulfillment. After all, Norah was the woman he adored and held dearly. But Norah tended to solve problems by herself, and her turning to him for help was a rare asion.


    Norah smiled at him. “No, you’re overthinking it.”
