Chapter 315:
Norah had finished sorting out the medicines and medicinal materials, but she also wanted to bring back some
weapons and ammunition. In her hcountry, possessing firearms was prohibited, but she still wanted to have
one for self-defense. She didn’t plan to take much—just a few pistols and bullets.
As she inspected the weapons, she noted their high quality. She could finally discard the inferior domestic batch
she had. While gathering the medicinal materials, she had also taken the opportunity to visit the armory at
Alice’s house. After selecting several guns and bullets, she stowed them in her bag.
When she returned to the hotel, she casually dropped the bag in front of Sean. “Darling, | want to take these
things back.” The black handbag, filled with metal items, made a soft clink as it landed on the table.
Sean unzipped the bag, discovering three Beretta handguns and a stack of bullets nestled inside. Norah lounged
against the sofa, exuding an exceptional beauty as she gazed at Sean expectantly. “What's wrong?” she asked
when he remained silent.

Sean chuckled. Initially, he had been worried about Norah handling a gun, but it turned out she was even more
skilled at using it than he was. He realized Norah excelled not only in shooting but also in darts and racing cars.
Was it natural talent, or the result of years of diligent practice?
“Nothing.” Sean zipped up the bag and added, “Give everything you want to bring back to Philip and ask him to
pack it up.” Sean always presented himself as someone willing to do anything for Norah. Over time, Norah had
grown accustomed to the assistance provided by Sean’s personal assistant, Philip, who was efficient in all tasks
and, most importantly, loyal.
Norah wondered if she could have an assistant as competent as Philip. It was a pity that Alice couldn’t speak
Norah’s mother tongue; otherwise, Alice would have been perfect for the role.
“Honey, have you decided to leave tomorrow?” Sean asked. The flight from Otland to Cesland was over ten
hours. Norah snapped out of her reverie and nodded at Sean. “Yeah, we'll leave tomorrow after picking up Alice.”
The discussion then turned to the details of their flight and the arrangements for picking up Alice. “I will take
Alice hto personally look after her. She is much better now. As for her daily needs, | plan to have a nurse
cover them. When she no longer requires a nurse, I'll take her for a walk around Glophia,” Norah explained.
Simply put, Alice would be Norah's companion when exploring Glophia. Norah would spend twith Alice, but
she couldn’t be by her side twenty-four hours a day, hence the need for a nurse.
Sean nodded in understanding. “I'll arrange for a nurse for her.” Sean was more cautious than usual due to
Jimena'’s actions. In any case, Norah didn’t have any objection to his offer. She smiled at him and murmured,
“Okay, thank you, darling.”
Norah's penetrating gaze fixed on Sean as she observed his facial expressions and features. They were about to
return to Glophia, but more importantly, they were returning together as a couple. Everyone back hwould
know that after her divorce from Derek, she had becSean's girlfriend. The rumor mill was bound to have a
field day, but Norah couldn't bring herself to care. After all, this wasn’t the first tshe had been the subject of
gossip.
She was well aware of all the rumors that had been whispered within the Carter family when she was still
married to Derek, as well as the malicious gossip that spread after her divorce. The people who knew nothing
about Norah's life were the ones with the most spiteful things to say. All the humiliation and slander Norah had

Even though Norah and Sean had been in a relationship for several days now, there were times when Norah
could hardly believe that she was truly Sean's girlfriend, and he, her boyfriend.
Sean took a seat beside Norah and pulled her into his arms, effectively ending Norah's train of thoughts. He
stared into her eyes, a hint of frustration in his gaze. “Honey, you don’t need to thank me. | want to do those
things for you. Do you still not feel close to me?”
Couples who shared a deep bond didn’t feel the need to thank each other so frequently for every little thing the
partner did for them. But whenever Sean did something for Norah, she wasted no texpressing her gratitude.
Sean sincerely hoped that Norah would depend on him as much as Susanna did whenever something happened
to her. Each tNorah turned to him for help, he experienced an ineffable sense of fulfillment. After all, Norah
was the woman he adored and held dearly. But Norah tended to solve problems by herself, and her turning to
him for help was a rare occasion.
Norah smiled at him. “No, you're overthinking it.”
