Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 612

Chapter 612:

“Gathering details on Nancy Chase was quite easy,” Sean continued. “I've heard from T that the people at the

orphanage are quite fond of her; they wouldn't have supported her learning various skills otherwise.”

Phillip felt sympathy for Nancy's challenging background. He might have viewed her more favorably if she didn't

cry so often. In fact, he found himself feeling more empathy toward Susanna.

“Mr. Scott, you'll be traveling to Silverdale soon. May | stay behind?” Phillip asked anxiously, gripping the

steering wheel while waiting at the traffic light.

Sean glanced up. “Why do you want to stay?”

Phillip replied, “I'd like to look after Susanna.”

“My parents will be looking after her. You are my personal assistant, Phillip.”

Was this a denial? Disappointment was evident on Phillip’s face. It seemed unlikely that Sean would agree to let

him stay. He was responsible for managing Sean's schedule, and they were seldom apart.

“Understood,” Phillip replied, his voice calm and controlled, hiding his unwillingness.

Sean was correct. Susanna’s parents were perfectly capable of taking care of her. Phillip reminded himself there

was no real need for him to stay. But before Susanna’s parents returned, he had believed that he didn’t need to

care for her. Yet, upon seeing Nancy, his concern for Susanna escalated.

Susanna could truly receive the peaceful care she needed under those circumstances. Phillip wasn’t sure, so he

suggested staying to look after her. However, Sean had coldly turned him down.

After stime, Sean spoke up. “Phillip, could you find another assistant to accompanyto Silverdale? I'm

going there not just for Norah, but also to handle sbusiness.”

Phillip was slightly puzzled. “Mr. Scott, are you suggesting that | could stay?”

Sean laughed softly. “Yes, find another competent assistant to cwithto Silverdale. You may stay.” He

paused for a moment before continuing, “I'm still concerned about leaving Susanna alone in Glophia.” He felt

that someone needed to be there for Susanna, especially with Nancy present, as he now saw his mother as

unreliable.

Kayla seemed unable to recognize her own daughter's distress, performing even worse than a stranger would.

Knowing Phillip would be there gave Sean speace of mind.

Phillip and Susanna had grown up together since childhood. Phillip would certainly take excellent care of her.
