Chapter 558 Not Upset

Norah was unfamiliar with the Wilson family, so discovering that Hadley was related to Corrin caught her off guard.

Hadley was intelligent yet timid.

Norah rarely visited the Wilson Manor. From her interactions with Hank and Hadley, she could sense his tendency to dominate Hadley, who appeared too afraid to push back. Despite this, Norah was privy to the fact that Hadley was having an affair with Larry.

But she believed it wasn't her place to judge others' personal matters.

Before Norah left, Sean called her and offered to drive her home.

Once home, Sean quickly rolled up his sleeves, and headed to the kitchen.

"I'll handle dinner tonight," he declared, putting on an apron. "Everything's set up. Just relax and keep me company, honey."

Trailing several steps behind, Norah pulled her hair up into a bun. After a brief pause, she unhooked her bra, feeling instantly more comfortable.

For Norah, true relaxation was coming home, slipping off her shoes, unhooking her bra, and sinking into the sofa to watch videos on her phone.

"That sounds great," she responded.

She went to the fridge and grabbed a coke, enjoying the refreshing sip. The coolness sent a delightful chill through her.

In the heat of summer, nothing beats coke paired with watermelon.

She tapped on a large watermelon in the fridge, smiled with satisfaction at the sound.

During the warmer months, watermelon was a staple in her fridge. Despite knowing that eating too

much could be unsettling due to its cold nature, her craving was too strong to ignore. She often bought

two watermelons at a time, making sure her fridge was always stocked. With a pleased expression, she closed the fridge. Watermelon was her favorite snack while watching

TV.

"Today at Susanna's ward, my mother seemed a bit cold towards you. I hope you won't take her words seriously." Sean spoke softly, concentrating on chopping vegetables.

Norah shook her head in reassurance. "It's okay, I understand."

She sat at the table, a coke in her hand.

"Your mother and Susanna are quite similar, in both looks and characters, right?" Even with two adult children, Kayla retained a youthful appearance.

"I'm sorry about how my mother acted. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again, Sean apologized on behalf of his mother.

Before they met, Sean had assured Norah that his mother was kind-hearted and easy-going. However, her first impression was quite harsh, as Sean's mother openly criticized Norah. Fortunately, Norah let it slide, avoiding any further tension.

"Don't worry about it. We talked about this yesterday, right? It's really no problem, darling," Norah comforted Sean.

She made it clear that their relationship came first.

Feeling reassured by Norah's understanding, Sean exhaled a breath he hadn't realized he was holding.

"But Nancy Chase isn't as innocent as she seems. You might want to look into that."

"I've already asked Phillip to check into it. Where's Alice? Is she coming to dinner?"

"She'll be back later. We shouldn't wait for her."

Alice had made some new friends. Norah was eager to hear about her day when she got back.

Sean looked at Norah, relieved she wasn't upset, and continued cooking attentively.

Norah valued Sean's efforts in the kitchen, understanding that he cooked to appease her. She was happy to let him lead when it came to cooking, knowing he was good at it.

And her calm attitude reassured him that she felt no bitterness.
