?Chapter 406:


    At the entrance to the vi, Sean gently took hold of Norah’s hand.


    “Sweetheart, are you upset?”


    Norah halted, her face calm andposed as she faced him. He pressed his lips together.


    “I didn’t intend for that to happen.”


    He met her gaze directly and said frankly, “I care about you a lot.”


    Norah tilted her head slightly.


    “So you think you have the right to do anything? Is sex the only thing on your mind?” Her eyes showed disappointment.


    “I believed you were unlike other men.”


    “What do you mean by that?” He asked, his voice tinged with frustration. “Different from whom? From Kason?”


    He tightened his grip on her wrist, a sh of anger in his eyes.


    “Don’tpare me to anyone else.”

    “Oh? Are you that sensitive, Mr. Scott? And allparisons are off-limits too?”


    Taking her response as a challenge, Sean gritted his teeth.


    “We can discuss this calmly. Let’s avoid saying things in the heat of the moment.”


    Norah remained impassive, a hint of disappointment shing in her eyes.


    “I am addressing you calmly, but you persist in steering our conversation off course.”


    She couldn’tprehend why the discussion had shifted to Kason.


    “Can you rify what you meant earlier?”


    “Just the literal interpretation.”


    Norah pulled her hand back abruptly.


    “I’m feeling a bit worn out; I need to rest. Mr. Scott, you should also take a break.”


    She took a step back, sidestepping his reach for her hand, and briskly entered her home, mming the door shut with a loud bang.


    Sean had intended to offer Norah someforting words, believing he might have upset her earlier and wanting to make amends. He hadn’t anticipated the situation escting as it did.


    He stared intently at the vi. Was Norah truly still thinking of Kason?


    A sensation akin to ants crawling on his heart emerged, and he furrowed his brow. Norah had explicitly mentioned that Kason was merely a friend. But was it possible that they were more than just friends? A cold smirk appeared on his face as he climbed into the car.


    “Phillip, take me to the Hancock Shooting Club.”


    The tense atmosphere was unsettling. Phillip put out his cigarette, sensing that Sean’s apology hadn’t gone smoothly. Not only was Norah not appeased, but Sean seemed even more agitated.


    Their rtionship was like a rollercoaster; moments ago they were glued together, but now, tension hung in the air.


    He skillfully started the car.


    “Mr. Scott, Susanna wants to know when you’ll be back. She and Alice are at the mour Club.”


    The mention of “Mr. Scott” brought to mind Norah’s harsh tone, causing Sean to frown with impatience.


    “Make sure Susanna stays safe; I don’t know when I’ll be back.”


    After Susanna nearly faced danger, a team of bodyguards had begun shadowing her, ensuring her safety and preventing any future risky situations.


    Sean reclined, closing his eyes slightly.


    “Assign two people to monitor Norah and Kason. If they interact, let me know right away.”


    Phillip stayedposed outwardly, though he was internally surprised.


    Did Sean suspect that Norah and Kason were involved romantically? From his point of view, this seemed improbable!


    He wanted to speak up but was afraid of upsetting Sean, so he stayed quiet and concentrated on driving.


    Sean twiddled his fingers thoughtfully.


    “Norah, you won’t let me down, will you? We promised to be truthful,” he murmured under his breath.
