NovelEnglishChapter 272:
To those onlookers in Glophia, Norah was perceived as someone with no standing or influence. The Wilson family
didn’t even acknowledge her, leaving others to view her as an orphan without any social status. However, Norah
had status.
Her original family held quiet influence in Glophia. Once she took the reins of her family and sorted things out,
she planned to enhance its reputation. Her lineage was, in fact, comparable to Sean's.
After a quick shower, Norah left the room. In the living room, Sean was still hunched over his laptop, deep in
concentration.
“Back to our discussion. Darling, is giving gifts something you enjoy?” Norah asked.
She saw Sean facing his laptop, assuming he was reading sdocuments. She walked up behind him,
wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a gentle shake.
“Let's count. How many presents have you given me?”
Sean remained silent, his hand moving to cover the webcam.

Feeling something amiss, Norah glanced at the screen. The next moment, she found Sean having an online
meeting with executives. She quickly released him and hopped away from the camera.
Biting her lip, she muttered in frustration, “Are you on a video conference?”

Sean removed his earpiece, arching an eyebrow as he looked at her. “Yeah.”
Norah buried her face in her hands, praying that the people in the meeting didn’t hear what she had said to Sean
while trying to be cute. She felt incredibly embarrassed.
“The meeting's over. You can all go now,” Sean ended the call briskly, closed his laptop, and removed his
earpiece before pulling Norah into an embrace.
“What's wrong?” Sean brushed his chin against her head.
Norah shot him a look of annoyance. “Why didn’t you informabout the meeting?”
He gently grasped her hand. “You didn’t letget a word in.”
Sean was speaking the truth. Norah had walked straight to him after leaving her room, completely unmindful of
what he was up to.
“Next time, just givea heads-up.” Norah couldn't bear the thought of such an embarrassing moment
happening again.
“Will do. | promise.” A grin spread across his face as Sean chuckled. “Alright, I'll answer your question. I'm not
big on giving gifts to just anyone. | save them for the people | care about.”
“So, you had feelings foreven before the auction, right? What sparked that interest?” Norah probed.
“It’s hard to pinpoint. There was a moment when your charm just struck me, and my affection grew from there.
Eventually, | knew I liked you.”
In the brightly lit living room, Sean held her hand, his expression earnest. “I've never felt this way about anyone
else. You're special, Norah.”
His admission made Norah feel shy. “Oh, | got it.”
Feeling embarrassed, she quickly switched the subject. “Aren't you heading to work today?”
Norah had never inquired about Sean’s properties in Otland. All she knew was that he went to work with Phillip
every day and made it back to the hotel suite on schedule.

Sean led her to the dining table and took a seat. “Let's grab sbreakfast. We can chat while we eat,” he
suggested.
The hotel breakfast was abundant. Norah grabbed a sandwich and took a bite.
“And the hotel. Any progress?” Norah asked.
Sean handed her the blueberry jam and said, “The deal hasn't been finalized yet. I've instructed Phillip to start
preparing for the acquisition process.”
After eating a bit more, Norah showed her approval with a thumbs-up. “Impressive.” She thought Sean was
indeed taking charge like a CEO. Once he made a decision, he acted swiftly and decisively.
It looked like the hotel they were staying in would soon becSean's property.
“I've nearly sorted out all the business stuff. To keep you safe and sound, I'll stick with you every step of the way
while we're in Otland.”
“It’s the best way to make sure nothing happens to you,” Sean said earnestly.
With a team of bodyguards, including the likes of an assassin such as Kelvin, Sean was practically untouchable.
