Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 731

Chapter 731:

Dolores, raising her head from Marlin’s embrace, looked over with interest. She, too, believed Norah's attraction

to Sean was merely superficial. Given what Marlin had said about Sean’s influence in Glophia, how could he fall

for a doctor with no outstanding background?

If Lola and Sean had not been there, Dolores might have planned to kick Norah out of the room. Since Marlin had

helped Norah once before, it was only natural that he would lend a hand again. If his support becfrequent,

perhaps feelings might develop. Lola was determined to stop it before it started.

Norah was taken aback by the sudden shift in conversation. Marriage? To Sean? Was marriage truly the right

decision? She had decided to stay with Sean and was prepared to leave at any moment.

She knew marriage would not hold her. Her previous marriage to Derek had taught her that marriage was not the

key to preserving a relationship—it was love that was important.

Sean gazed at Norah intensely, his eyes deep and earnest. “The only bride at my wedding will be Norah. I'll start

planning as soon as she gives the word.”

Though he had often thought about marrying Norah, he understood her desire for freedom and her unfavorable

past marriage experience. Perhaps it was still too soon for them to marry. He was patient, however. He would

wait as long as it took for her heartfelt consent.

Norah felt touched by Sean's earnest gaze. Often, they did not need words—their hearts were already

connected. Sean's response filled the room with a sense of admiration. Everyone's replies were warm, and it

made others feel a twinge of envy.

Amid the reactions, Marlin noticed Norah snuggling up to Sean and began to feel increasingly uncomfortable. It

seemed things were unfolding in an unexpected way. His hand, which had been resting on Dolores’s shoulder,

withdrew. He pondered Norah’s words when she walked into the room. Had they met before? Why couldn't he

remember any of it?

sighed, admiring Sean’s physique and looks.

“It’s a bit dull just drinking. We've got a big group here. How about we play sgames?” she suggested.

Everyone agreed to Lola's idea.

Dolores’ friends were excited to be mingling in such distinguished company. The excitement was palpable.

Norah, on the other hand, consistently ignored Dolores. She wasn’t one to hide her dislike.

It was past eleven in the evening. They all needed to be up early for work the next day, so the gathering had to

end.

Lola, with a slightly flushed face, struggled to stay composed and said, “Mr. Scott, Mr. Boyd, until next time. | had

a good drink tonight.”
