?Chapter 1107:


    If Marlene had been more understanding, he might have helped with her education, but he didn’t feel any romantic connection with her.


    Sean parked outside Norah’s manor, took a deep breath to calm his nerves, hoping to make things right so he wouldn’t have to spend the night by himself.


    Arriving solo with a gift in hand, he rang the doorbell and adjusted his clothes, wanting to look his best for Norah.


    Norah opened the door, dressed in her casual home attire, her face still glowing from the remnants of a smile. However, the smile faded when she recognized Sean standing on her doorstep.


    “Sean, shouldn’t you be with your girlfriend at the manor? Why are you here?”


    Sean attempted a weak smile, gazing deeply into her eyes. “You’re the only girlfriend for me, Norah. I have a good exnation for what happened with Marlene.” He presented the item he had brought. “I have a gift for you.”


    Norah looked at the elegantly wrapped box in his hands. Through the clear wrapping, she could see two perfectly preserved wild ginseng roots.


    “I’ve brought two fifty-year-old wild ginseng roots and a mountain lotus. These are all premium medicinal ingredients.”


    Norah teased him. “Aren’t you worried that such an expensive gift might make Marlene jealous?”


    It was clear to her that he had put a lot of thought into this gift.

    “A gift for my beloved is never too expensive,” Sean replied earnestly. “Please, Norah, give me a chance to exin. May Ie in?”


    He nudged the gift box slightly toward her, his eyes filled with hope.


    “My love for you is true. I love you.”


    His voice deepened with passion, and it caused her to tremble.


    Before Norah could respond,ughter echoed from inside the manor.


    “Norah, he seems quite sincere. Why not let him in?”


    Sean had just begun his rehearsed romantic lines when he heard the voice and abruptly stopped.


    Could there be someone else in Norah’s manor? Susanna had said it was only Norah’s assistant here.


    Trying to hold back her amusement and with twinkling eyes, Norah said, “Alright, since you’re so insistent,e on in.” She stepped back from the doorway, grabbed Sean’s slippers from the rack, ced them before him, and entered the house ahead of him.


    Sean paused, uncertain about who else might be inside Norah’s house.
