Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 31:

Sean shrugged casually. “No worries.”

Norah didn’t bring up how she ended up there anymore. The previous scene seemed to have concluded. She let out a sigh of relief.

Norah guessed Sean must have looked into her background and learned about her ongoing divorce proceedings. Susanna might not have been aware of this. The thought that the divorce with Derek hadn’t been finalized yet irked Norah. Derek was acting foolishly. She couldn’t fathom why he insisted on dragging out the divorce process. Wasn’t it better for them to go their separate ways sooner rather than later?

After dinner, Susanna kept chatting with Norah. “Norah, you might not believe it, but you seem familiar to me.” Susanna blinked her bright eyes.

Norah casually tossed her hair. “Is that so?” She chose to speak in her natural voice around Susanna, testing the latter’s reaction. It appeared Susanna hadn’t connected her to the famed Supernatural Doctor.

Right then, Sean approached with medication and a glass of water, setting them on the table. “Will these pills help?”

“Absolutely.” The medication Sean provided was exactly what Norah needed. Norah accepted it gratefully.

After a short while, Norah prepared to leave. “Thank you, Mr. Scott. I’ll repay your favor some other time. I’m off now. See you around.”

Despite Susanna’s reluctance to see Norah leave, she pulled herself together and said, “Bye, Norah. Get home safely. Phillip will drive you back.”

The distance between their respective villas was deceptively long, requiring over half an hour to travel. Susanna was concerned for Norah’s health, especially since she was still recovering from a cold.

She turned to Sean, who wore a stoic expression, and said, “Sean, perhaps you should drive her?”

Norah waved dismissively, saying, “No need. Phillip can take me.” She saw no reason to impose on Sean for a ride.
