?Chapter 858:


    She had nned to confront Ivy face-to-face, but Ivy outsmarted her. Once Norah’s intentions became clear, Ivy had made a quick getaway.


    Norah’s smirk widened. Ivy’s attempt to flee confirmed it; she clearly knew some secrets.


    “We’ll track you down, even if you flee overseas.”


    Marlin was curious about Norah’s strategy, but she left without a word. He sighed internally. He wasn’t sure of the exact nature of Norah’s rtionship with the individuals she sought, but it was clear they were important to her.


    He then called Gerry and instructed him to monitor the trio’s whereabouts and attempt to pinpoint their location.


    Gerry sighed to himself. Not being a police officer, how could he handle such a task?


    Norah ascended the hill again in silence. On her way back to Marlin’s car, she saw the men she had knocked out in the woods the previous night. Upon spotting her, they screamed and ran off as if she were a monster. Marlin figured she must have handled them roughly after he cked out the night before.


    It then dawned on him that when she returned, she was carrying a gun. This indicated that those men were far from ordinary.


    He secretly gave Gerry another assignment.


    After an eight-hour hike, Marlin was overwhelmed with soreness and found himself unable to lift his feet any longer. Norah drove them back. Her expression was cold, offering no hint of her thoughts.


    where stories grow


    Since childhood, Marlin had always been the one taking care of his loved ones. Yet, since meeting Norah, he felt like someone who now needed care.


    This experience was unfamiliar to him, but surprisingly, he found it eptable.


    “Marlin,” Norah called as they neared the hotel.


    Marlin turned to her, puzzled.


    Her face, focused on the road ahead, was strikingly beautiful, her red lips moving slightly as she spoke.


    “Even though we didn’t find them, thank you for apanying me on this journey.”


    “You’re wee. No matter where you go, I’m ready to follow.” Hearing his affectionate words, Norah remainedposed.


    “Marlin, the person I have feelings for is Sean.”
