“Honey, my desire to be with you, to introduce you to everyone, to marry you — it’s all genuine.”
Sean prided himself on being a man of his word; once he committed, he was determined to uphold it. But for
Norah's sake, he had willingly bent many of his own rules.
His devotion to her was evident in his actions. There was no denying it; he simply adored her. And for the things
he adored, he always had patience.
As they sat in the quiet car, the rhythm of their hearts beating echoed like drums, their excitement palpable.
Both were swept up in the rush of accelerated heartbeats and surging adrenaline.
“Mr. Scott, I've returned.”
The affectionate ambiance dissipated as soon as Phillip opened the car door and spoke.
Sean clenched his teeth inwardly. Why did Phillip have to intrude at this precise moment? Couldn't he read the
room? He had assumed Phillip was more perceptive. It proved he was utterly wrong.

Norah, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't anticipated how to respond. Marriage didn’t
guarantee permanence; even couples who were married could divorce. Being publicly involved with Sean now
might lead to awkwardness if they parted ways in the future.

As soon as Phillip settled into the driver's seat, he sensed a wave of disapproving stares directed his way. He
shuddered and hastily fastened his seatbelt.
“Thank you for your concern, Miss Wilson. | was just outside smoking a few cigarettes. I'm perfectly fine.”
“It’s okay. | was simply offering a reminder.”
The vehicle started, filling the interior with its quiet rumble.
“Um, Mr. Scott, Miss Wilson, feel free to converse openly; there's no need to be concerned about my presence.”
After uttering these words, Phillip quietly raised the partition in the car. While it couldn't entirely muffle sound, it
effectively obscured the view between compartments.
“I will schedule my banquet attendance to fit around your work schedule. You can joinat sof them.”
“No need.”
Norah firmly declined, expressing her reluctance to accompany Sean to any public events for the tbeing. She
felt insecure and overanalyzed, imagining the worst possible outcfor their relationship. In the past, when
they were apart, she had attended an auction as his companion with ease and confidence.
Sean was puzzled. Numerous individuals aspired to accompany him to various banquets as his partner, yet
Norah adamantly declined.
What was wrong with him? Was there a fault in being the Scott family head?
He fixated on her intensely, quietly scrutinizing her. Her expression remained steadfast, indicating she wouldn't
concede, regardless of his words.
The ambiance cooled steadily. Norah understood her words might provoke Sean, yet she voiced them
nonetheless.

“Darling, grantadditional time.”
She fully comprehended that this was her personal psychological dilemma. While she could be affectionate by
Sean's side in private, she faltered when it cto public exposure.
Abruptly, Sean grasped the situation. Regardless of whether he introduced Norah to others, she remained his
girlfriend, an undeniable truth.
He simply didn’t wish to witness Norah distressed by gossip.
“Okay, let's just forget about it!”
In fact, the majority of esteemed families in Glophia were aware of their relationship, yet they viewed Norah with
disdain.
In their eyes, Norah was a divorced woman, while Sean was the head of a prestigious noble family. The two
individuals destined never to unite found themselves together. They harbored the belief that Norah would soon
face abandonment.
Indeed, the majority of those acquainted with the situation in Glophia held such notions. They believed Norah fell
short of being deemed suitable for Sean, despite her status as Selene and her renown as a prominent doctor at
Silver Boulder Private Hospital.
