?Chapter 416:


    Sensing her movements, Sean gently sped her hand and exhaled softly.


    “Honey, when you mentioned ‘other men’st night, I thought you were referring to Kason.”


    Norah blinked.


    “No, I was discussing all the men I dislike, not specifically him.”


    Her tone, firm yet sincere, caused Sean to feel remorseful for fixating on that remark. It seemed he had misinterpreted.


    “It was my mistake. I apologize.”


    Her slender finger delicately brushed against his lips.


    “No more apologies; what’s significant is to learn from this episode.”


    She gazed into his deep eyes with earnestness.


    “So we are good.”


    Sean harbored myriad thoughts, yet he settled on a solitary “yes.”

    As time progressed, their true selves emerged through their daily exchanges, each disagreement a milestone in their shared understanding.


    “Let us cease dwelling on this issue and move forward, agreed?”


    Norah refrained from revisiting the topic repeatedly, retracting her hand from his grasp to delicately trace his Adam’s apple with her finger, her gaze alight.


    “Would my actions annoy you?”


    To prevent her boyfriend’s potential anger, she voiced her thoughts first. She refused to be hypocritical. After all, she was now the initiator of their intimacy. Sean nodded candidly, longing for Norah to draw nearer to him.


    “There are numerous banquets scheduled in Glophia over the next month. I desire to apany you.”


    “What sort of banquets?”


    “Some are private gatherings, while others hold a more business appeal. I wish to present you to all attendees.”


    Kennedy’s statement underscored Sean’s realization that only he truly appreciated Norah’s worth, while the people of Glophia continued to gossip about her. Norah remained unperturbed by such gossip, but it weighed heavily on Sean’s mind.


    Norah hesitated, her hand pausing momentarily on his Adam’s apple before slowly retracting.


    “It’s not necessary.”


    Apart from indulging in the culinary delights and libations offered at banquets, socializing held little appeal for her. Her professional sphere remained distinct from Sean’s, with no ovep.


    “Why do you think it’s unnecessary? We’re already together, and I want everyone to know you.”


    “Haha, introduce your girlfriend to everyone?” Norah smirked. “Couples can part ways. There’s no need for introductions now. When we’re married…”


    Feeling the weight of his gaze, her words faltered. She realized that her words unintentionally conveyed an eagerness for marriage, but she didn’t mean that.


    “I understand your viewpoint. Do you rmend that I go ahead with the proposal? We could proceed with marriage immediately if you desire. Alternatively, if you think marriage is too early, we could first be engaged, followed by meeting the parents…”


    As Sean’s dialogue grew increasingly nonsensical, Norah feltpelled to intervene.


    “You’re jumping ahead. That’s not my intention. Also, haven’t you confused the sequence of meeting the parents and bing engaged?”


    Typically, the initial step involves meeting the parents to discuss matters before proceeding to prepare for engagement. How did Seanpletely invert this sequence?


    A proud expression briefly lit up Sean’s handsome face.


    “The decision to marry is solely mine to make. Remember, I’m now the head of my family.”


    “So you can totally ignore your parents’ opinions?” She expressed her bewilderment, having never encountered such an assertion before.


    “I suppose my parents won’t meddle in my romantic affairs. Their priority is my happiness; they’ll support my choices.”


    Little did he know that his words would prove to bepletely wrong in the future.
