Chapter 644 Confusing Norah With Dolores

Holding a wine glass, Lola leaned on the sofa and said, "I guess Mr. Boyd's wedding invitation will be arriving soon."

She glanced sideways at Sean and Norah, always side by side, feeling a twinge of envy and irritation.

She believed Norah's only advantage was her beautiful face. Men do favor youthful and pretty women, she thought.

"And what about you, Mr. Scott? When will we be hearing your good news?" Dolores, raising her head from Marlin's embrace, looked over with interest.

She too believed Norah's attraction to Sean was merely superficial. Given what Marlin said about Sean's influence in Glophia, how could he fall for a

doctor with no outstanding background? If Lola and Sean had not been there, she might have planned to kick Norah out of here.

Since Marlin had helped Norah once before, it was only natural that he would lend a hand again. If his support became frequent, perhaps feelings might develop. Lola was determined to stop it before it started.

Norah was taken aback by the sudden shift of conversation. Marriage? To Sean? Was marriage truly the right decision?

She had decided to stay with Sean and was prepared to leave at any moment.

She knew marriage would not hold her. Her previous marriage to Derek taught her that marriage was not the key to preserving a relationship-it was love that was important.

Sean gazed at Norah intensely, his eyes deep and earnest. "The only bride at my wedding will be Norah. I'll start planning as soon as she gives the word."

Though he had often pondered marrying Norah, he understood her desire for freedom and her unfavorable past marriage experience. Perhaps it was still too

soon for them to marry. He was patient, however. He would wait as long as it took for her heartfelt

consent. Norah felt touched by Sean's earnest gaze. Often, they did not need words-

their hearts were already connected. Sean's response filled the room with a sense of admiration.

Everyone's replies were warm and made others feel a twinge of envy.

Amid the reactions, Marlin noticed Norah snuggling up to Sean and began to feel increasingly uncomfortable.

It seemed things were unfolding in an unexpected way. His hand, which had been resting on Dolores's shoulder, withdrew.

He pondered over Norah's words when she walked into the room. Had they

met before? Why couldn't he remember any of it? Lola confessed she felt a bit envious. All the attractive men she admired

seemed to be deeply in love.

She sighed, admiring Sean's physique and looks. "It's a bit dull just drinking. We've got a big group here. How about we play some games?" she suggested.

Everyone agreed to Lola's idea.

Dolores' friends were excited to be mingling in such distinguished company. The excitement was noticeable.

Norah, on the other hand, consistently ignored Dolores. She wasn't one to hide her dislike.

It was past eleven in the evening. They all needed to be up early for work the next day, so the gathering had to end.

Lola, with a slightly flushed face, struggled to stay composed and said, "Mr. Scott, Mr. Boyd, until next time. I had a good drink tonight."

Sean nodded and said, "Okay, later."

He then turned to Norah, who was seated on the sofa, and said, "Norah, I need to use the restroom."

Marlin, noticeably tipsy and barely standing straight, said, "Let's head out, Dolores. Time to go home."

He was so drunk that he failed to notice Dolores had stepped out to bid farewell to her friends.

At that moment, only Lola, Norah, and Marlin remained in the private room.
