NovelEnglishChapter 223:
Norah's laughter echoed by the bedside. Despite their closeness in the past, she hesitated to share a bed with
anyone until she felt truly ready, even if he was her boyfriend.
The thought of Sean's forlorn look of disappointment brought a smile to her face. At times, she found Sean
endearingly adorable.
After freshening up and getting dressed, Norah heard a knock at the door. She opened it to see Sean, looking
dapper and well-put-together.
Sean had made an effort with his appearance. His hair was impeccably styled. He wore a dark grey suit paired
with a black tie, his wrists adorned with silver diamond cufflinks, radiating sophistication.
“Honey, are you all set?”

Norah stood there in a champagne silk nightgown that draped down to her calves, hugging her figure perfectly.
Aware of the impression she made, Norah turned slightly as she greeted him, granting Sean a stunning view of
her silhouette.
“Givea moment to slip into something.”
Living in the hotel made wardrobe decisions effortless for Norah, thanks to Sean filling her closet with an array of
luxurious summer outfits.
With that, she gently closed the door. Left to wait, Sean touched his nose and took a seat in the living room, a
hint of resignation in his posture.
Phillip introduced a woman in her thirties to the room. “Mr. Scott...”
“I've found the perfect caregiver. I'm confident she'll take excellent care of Miss Wilson's friend.” The woman,
exuding a sense of diligence and warmth, smiled at Sean despite the language barrier. Following Phillip’s
introduction, she offered Sean a respectful bow.
“Well, have you checked in with the two members of the Sacredice who were with Norah yesterday? What's their
take?” Sean asked.
“Mr. Scott, their account aligns with Miss Wilson's. They confirmed that the assailants were after Miss Wilson and
her friend. But Miss Wilson managed to draw them into an abandoned building and dealt with them on the spot,”
Phillip replied.
Phillip and Sean were astounded by this revelation when they heard it the previous night. The thought of Norah
handling such a dangerous situation with such decisiveness was beyond Phillip’s expectations.
Chuckling, Sean said, “The main thing is that Norah is safe. Have the Sacredice continue their covert protection.
They should only intervene if absolutely necessary.” He was ready to support Norah's hands-on approach,
prepared to help with the aftermath and be the support she needed. His initial concern was that Norah might be
shaken by the violence, but it turned out she was remarkably skilled in managing such threats.
“Darling, what are your plans for today?” Norah inquired, adjusting her attire as she spoke.

“I've got a busy day ahead, as | mentioned before,” she replied. Her agenda was packed. She needed to get a
caregiver for Alice, then visit Alice before taking a trip to the East Zone to settle sscores. A determined glint
appeared in Norah's eyes. She had intended to head to the East Zone the previous night but had let Sean
convince her to wait.
He had argued that her target wouldn't get far, suggesting a day's rest would be more beneficial.
Dressed in a relaxed sports outfit, Norah zipped up her jacket. Her hair was bunched up under the garment,
creating an awkward bulge at her nape.
Sean, following her, reached out to free her hair, gently drawing it out from under her jacket. “About the
caregiver you mentioned yesterday, I've asked Phillip to find someone. Check this woman out, and if she meets
your standards, you could take her to the hospital yourself.”
As Norah's hair flowed freely down her back, shiny and soft, Sean indulged in the feel of it, letting his fingers
glide through its length.
“I haven't had the chance to visit your friend in the hospital yet. Today, I'm entirely yours. Let's head to the East
Zone together,” Sean proposed.
