NovelEnglishChapter 414:
“I just finished work.”
After editing the message, she sent it and left the hospital after finishing her shift.
Sean had been waiting in the hospital's parking lot for stime. After the afternoon meeting ended, he
becworried when Norah didn’t respond to his messages. This led him to wait for her to finish work.
Phillip occupied the driver's seat, and there was silence in the car except for their breathing. Phillip refrained
from speaking due to Sean's previous warning about being cautious. This made him anxious about choosing his
words. Consequently, he avoided saying anything that could anger Sean.
He felt relieved upon seeing the familiar figure.
“Mr. Scott, Miss Wilson has arrived.”
“Step out of the car; | need to speak with her seriously.”
“Alright, I'll go to the restroom. You two can talk.”

Phillip swiftly left the car and shut the door.
“Phillip, where are you off to? Aren't we supposed to leave?”
Norah reached out to halt him.
“I'm in a hurry; | need to use the restroom. Please wait forin the car for a short while.”
Phillip hurriedly headed to the restroom with an urgent expression on his face.
Norah showed understanding. But the mere thought of meeting Sean caused her to take a deep breath. The
disagreement was minor, nothing significant. In the past, she had frequently argued with Derek, Sharon, and
Kathy.
Norah met Sean’s gaze as she opened the car door. Sean wore a sharply tailored suit with a white shirt buttoned
to the collar, his Adam's apple prominent, emitting an aura of restraint and aloofness. His dark eyes were fixed
on her continuously.
“Are you still upset with me?”
Norah had barely settled in the car when she heard Sean's inquiring tone.
She pursed her lips and replied, “No.”
Her anger had subsided, and she was prepared to have a nice talk with him.
“Then why didn’t you respond to my messages?”
“I was occupied and didn’t check my phone. Do you check yours when you're busy?”
She countered with her own question, catching Sean by surprise. When deeply focused on work, he seldom
checked his phone.
He vehemently defended himself, saying, “You didn’t respond even after finishing work.”
He pointed to the most recent message, asserting, “I sent it right after you finished work.”
Norah was about to clarify but suddenly burst into laughter. She covered her mouth, her cheerful sound
resonating in the car.

“What's amusing?”
Sean frowned, appearing displeased. He interpreted her lack of response as a sign of anger, believing that she
was giving him the silent treatment.
“If you don’t provide a reasonable explanation today, | won't allow you to leave.”
He pulled her forcefully into his embrace, holding her tightly with his palms not making contact with her skin.
Norah didn’t resist but adjusted her position for comfort, her laughter still present.
“I just recalled a sweet romance TV show | watched, where the female lead was holding a phone, questioning
why her boyfriend didn’t reply to her messages, not even sparing a moment after work. It was amusing to
imagine you as the female lead. | apologize; it's quite amusing.”
She couldn't suppress her laughter, giggling between sentences.
The female lead in the TV show was pretentious and had a delicate face, contrasting with Sean’s appearance,
which was why she found it humorous.
Sean's expression grew somber as he listened to Norah's explanation.
