Chapter 352 The First Time

Sean rested his head on Norah's shoulder, finding comfort in their closeness.

Sean had also sipped some cedar wine, and a hint of alcohol lingered on his breath, mildly intoxicating.

"Honey, did you miss me?" Sean tilted his head, whispering by her ear with a deep, husky voice, "I missed you so much today."

One of his hands rested on her shoulder while the other playfully rested on her waist, gently stroking.

A ticklish sensation at her waist made Norah instinctively draw back. Leaning into his arms, she casually said, "Today was so hectic. I didn't even glance at my phone."

Pausing for a moment, she added, "But during a quiet moment, you crossed my mind."

During surgery, her focus was solely on the task at hand, leaving no room for distractions. However, it was a comfort that she could still think of Sean now and then.

"Honey, I'm glad you thought of me." His lips grazed her earlobe, gently licking it. "We're both busy, barely getting any alone time."

Norah shifted, resting her hands on his chest, gazing at him with teary eyes. "I asked you to come to the ward with me, but you didn't."

There was a hint of complaint in her voice, and Sean's heart melted. Norah was acting like a spoiled child. The sensation of her playful affection was delightful, urging him to want to give her everything

"I did plan to come, but I thought you guys might not enjoy it." Sean was aware of his commanding presence, and not quite fitting in with her friends, so he decided not to risk making things awkward. He didn't want that. If his presence caused a rift between Norah and her friends, it would be his fault.

"Okay, I understand you were looking out for me." Norah nestled back into his chest and said, "But you're my boyfriend, and I want my friends to know you. And about your friends, it feels like I haven't really met them."

Norah was curious. Was Sean not much of a social person? Did he just spend all his time wrapped up in work? Did he never go out to unwind and enjoy himself?

I do have friends. It's just that when we met, they were all abroad for different reasons and haven't come back since." He chuckled, a slight vibration in his chest.

Sean did have a couple of close friends, and if they learned he was currently seeing someone, they'd probably be quite surprised.

"That's a shame." Norah didn't know much about Sean's past, so she simply nodded in response. "When your friends come back, will you introduce me to them?"

"Absolutely, you're my girlfriend, and I want you to meet my friends."

"You're not bothered that I've divorced?"

"What about it? Your first time was with me."

Norah's face immediately turned red, not wanting to appear vulnerable in front of him.

Sean enjoyed teasing Norah about this, but she avoided the subject, pretending not to be affected. "So, you are just concerned about my first time."

Her tone shifted abruptly as she said, "It's a shame your first time wasn't with me."

Norah buried her face in his chest, hiding her expression. Sean couldn't see her face and thought she was genuinely upset, so he held her tighter.

"L... It was also my first time." His voice cracked, and he blushed with embarrassment. What? It was Sean's first time, too? Norah lifted her head in disbelief, staring at him with a mix of curiosity and skepticism, her eyes spelling out one word clearly. Unbelievable.
