?Chapter 732:
Sean nodded and said, “Okay,ter.”
He then turned to Norah, who was seated on the sofa, and said, “Norah, I need to use the restroom.”
Marlin, noticeably tipsy and barely standing straight, said, “Let’s head out, Dolores. Time to go home.”
He was so drunk that he failed to notice Dolores had stepped out to bid farewell to her friends.
At that moment, only L, Norah, and Marlin remained in the private room.
After Sean departed, L settled beside Norah.
With a puzzled look, she said, “Miss Wilson, you are a doctor, right? There probably isn’t much for you to discuss with Mr. Scott, is there?”
She bit her lip and added, “Given his status, his bride should ideallye from a wealthy family. But anyway, there are exceptions. I just think he is outstanding, so I said those words to you. I’m sorry.”
Norah replied with a gentle smile, ncing at the unsteady Marlin.
“What’s the point of mentioning it? Do you really think Sean and I won’t end up together?”
Marlin, quite intoxicated, mistook the voice for Dolores and staggered toward Norah.
As L looked up, she caught Norah’s mischievous gaze, as if Norah could read her thoughts. L struggled to maintain herposure.
“I just believe Mr. Scott deserves someone better. You two aren’t a good match.”
“If I’m not suitable, then who is? You?”
L almost said yes impulsively but caught herself just in time and remained silent.
As Marlin moved, he bumped his thigh against the sofa, lost his bnce, and nearly fell backward toward a finished bottle on the floor that could hit his head.
L watched as Norah quickly stood up and grabbed Marlin by the neck to stabilize him. But she overdid it and stumbled back onto the sofa.
In the next moment, Marlin copsed onto her.
“What are you doing?”
Both a man and a woman yelled from the doorway.
Norah pushed Marlin’s face away and was met with Sean’s furious expression.
