?Chapter 405:


    In Sean’s eyes, the Andrews family appeared too submissive, easily manipted by the Carter family’s lies. Without Norah discovering Kathy’s pregnancy report, would the Andrews family have allowed Kathy to marry into their family?


    Sean silently criticized them as cowardly, though he maintained aposed expression. Since the issue was resolved and no longer his concern, there was no reason for him to continue with the task he had assigned to Phillip.


    “Did you hear that Susanna mentioned Alice’s interest in learning ournguage?”


    “Yes, I’ve arranged for a tutor for her.”


    Norah preferred that Alice stay longer in the country, especially with the Breaker situation unresolved. Regardless of Alice’s desires, Norah intended to ensure she stayed here and didn’t return.


    “Thank you, dear. I’m going home.”


    Norah leaned in and lightly kissed Sean on the corner of his mouth.


    “Message me if you miss me,” she whispered. Her soft, seductive voice lingered in his ear after the kiss.


    Her voice had a captivating quality, drawing people in like honey.

    Sean’s expression shifted, his eyes growing more intense as he swallowed.


    He firmly grasped Norah’s arm and pulled her back toward him. Norah, who had been about to leave, abruptly turned back, falling into hisforting embrace.


    “Darling…”


    Surprised, Norah eximed as she buried herself in his broad chest. The intoxicating scent of ebony agarwood, mixed with a hint of smoke, enveloped her.


    “Stay with me a little longer.”


    He held her tightly, reluctant to release her. If only they could be together indefinitely. Seeing Norah after his hectic day relieved him of all his exhaustion. Regrettably, their time together after work was always short-lived before Norah had to depart.


    Phillip discreetly turned off the car engine and stepped out for a smoke, giving the couple some privacy. Norah appreciated a life offort, and while she could have easily indulged in a luxurious lifestyle, her sense of duty kept her moving forward.


    Her mind wandered, imagining a carefree life like Joanna’s—one where she was indulged by her parents and brother, free to pursue her desires.


    However, Norah knew there was no one behind her. Clutching Sean’s back tightly, she realized even Sean didn’t fill that role. Throughout their rtionship, she had soughtfort in his presence, but deep down, she knew all rtionships would eventuallye to an end.


    She stayed quiet, cherishing the tranquility of the moment.


    “Just embrace me. Why are you moving your hand?” Her voice, sharp and tense, emanated from within Sean’s embrace. She pressed his hand firmly at her waist, her tone carrying a hint of threat.


    “I should leave.”


    Without a second thought, she stood up and departed, leaving Sean feeling cold and distant.


    Sean watched her leave, puzzled. Was she upset?


    The loud m of the car door startled Phillip, who had been smoking nearby. Had Norah and Sean argued? They had seemed fine when he stepped out for a smoke earlier.


    “Mr. Scott, is everything alright with Miss Wilson?” Phillip asked. Sean responded curtly, “Some things are best left unasked.”


    Driven by passion, Sean had instinctively ced his hand on Norah’s waist, unaware of her unexpected anger.


    “I believe she appeared upset.”


    Phillip, unable to see Sean’s face, muttered to himself, “Mr. Scott, I recall a saying that advises against letting a woman sleep angry, as it’s detrimental to her well-being. Besides…”


    The sudden sound of the car door mming interrupted his thoughts.


    Phillip frowned. Two sessive heavy door ms had sounded as though they were trying to break the car door with the force of their closure.


    Well, he was just a driver; there was no reason for him to be so concerned. He might as well share this episode with Susanna.
