Chapter 405 Anger

In Sean's eyes, the Andrews family appeared too submissive, easily manipulated by the Carter family's lies. Without Norah discovering Kathy's pregnancy report, would the Andrews family have allowed Kathy to marry into their family?

Sean silently criticized them as cowardly, although he maintained a composed expression.

Since the issue was resolved and it wasn't his concern, there was no reason for him to proceed with the task he had assigned to Phillip.

"Did you hear that Susanna mentioned Alice's interest in learning our language?"

"Yes, I've arranged for a tutor for her."

Norah preferred that Alice stay longer in the country, especially with the Breaker situation unresolved.

Regardless of Alice's desires, Norah intended to ensure she stayed here and didn't return.

"Thank you, dear. I'm going home."

Norah leaned in and lightly kissed Sean on the corner of his mouth.

"Message me if you miss me," she whispered.

Her soft, seductive voice whispered in his ear after the kiss.

Her voice had a captivating quality, drawing people in like honey. Sean's expression shifted, his eyes growing more intense as he swallowed. He firmly grasped Norah's arm and pulled her back toward him. Norah, who was about to leave, abruptly turned back, falling into his comforting embrace.

"Darling...

Surprised, Norah exclaimed as she buried herself in his broad chest. The

intoxicating scent of ebony agarwood, mixed with a hint of smoke,

enveloped her. "Stay with me a little longer."

He held her tightly, reluctant to release her.

If only they could be together indefinitely, seeing Norah after his hectic day relieved him of all his exhaustion

Regrettably, their time together after work was always short-lived before Norah had to depart.

Phillip discreetly turned off the car engine and stepped out for a smoke, giving the couple some privacy.

Of course Norah appreciated a life of comfort. She could have indulged in a luxurious lifestyle, yet her sense of duty pushed her to continue moving

forward. Her mind wandered, imagining a carefree life akin to Joanna's, indulged by her parents and brother, with the freedom to pursue her desires.

However, Norah knew there was no one behind her.

Clutching Sean's back tightly, she realized even Sean didn't fulfill that role Throughout their relationship, she sought comfort in his presence.

Nevertheless, she knew all relationships would come to an end eventually.

She stayed quiet, cherishing the tranquility of the moment.

"Just embrace me. Why are you moving your hand?"

Her voice, sharp and tense, emanated from within Sean's embrace. She forcefully pressed down on his hand at her waist, her tone carrying a hint of threat.

"I should leave."

Without a second thought, she stood up and departed, leaving Sean feeling cold and distant.

Sean observed her departure, puzzled. Was she upset?

The loud slam of the car door startled Phillip, who was smoking nearby. Had

Norah and Sean argued? They appeared fine earlier when he stepped out

for a smoke.

"Mr. Scott, is everything alright with Miss Wilson?"

Sean responded curtly, "Some things are best left unasked."

Driven by passion, he instinctively had placed his hand on Norah's waist, unaware of her unexpected anger.

"I believe she appeared upset."

Phillip, unable to see Sean's face, muttered to himself, "Mr. Scott, I recall a saying that advises against letting a woman sleep angry as it's detrimental to her well-being. Besides..."

The abrupt sound of the car door shutting interrupted his thoughts.

Phillip frowned. Two successive heavy door slams had sounded as if they were trying to break the car door with the force of their closure. Well, he was only a driver, there was no reason for him to be so concerned. He might as well share this episode with Susanna.
