Chapter 72:

At that moment, Phillip, who was standing to the side, covered his mouth, coughed, and then turned away. “These are conversations you shouldn’t be getting involved in,” Sean said, his voice awkward.

Susanna raised an eyebrow and took two steps toward Sean, asking, “So you’re hiding your relationship with Norah from me because you think I’m still a kid? What’s the point of hiding it from me?”

Just as Sean opened his mouth to respond, Norah, dressed in a long crimson chiffon dress, came down and interrupted. “Why are you guys talking in hush voices? Is it about something secret?”

Seeing Norah, Susanna’s eyes immediately lit up, and she quickly walked up to Norah, asking, “Last night, you slept in Sean’s room, right? Should I assume you’d be my sister-in-law?”

Turning to face Sean, Susanna smiled mischievously and continued, “I was just having a conversation with Sean about this topic.”

Hearing all this, Norah’s cheeks burned bright red. She should have known that Susanna would come to such conclusions. But as she thought about what had happened the previous night, Norah looked down and tried to explain, “Actually, I slept in the guest room last night. So, your idea of where I slept is wrong. Anyway, I have to hit the road or I’ll be late for work. You guys should keep on.”

Having survived Susanna’s teasing, Norah had become resistant to Susanna’s playful remarks and didn’t mind them much. But facing Sean was an entirely different case. Psychologically, she wasn’t comfortable around him.

Waving her hand, Susanna left the duo alone. As Norah walked away, she stared at the pink bunny slippers on Norah’s feet, pouted her lips, and called out, “Hurry up! Or you’ll be late for work.”

Once Norah was gone, Susanna turned to face Sean and said unhappily, “I had been wondering who you wanted to give those bunny slippers to the moment I saw them. And now it turns out you bought them for Norah. Why didn’t you bother to get a pair for me? It’s not fair!”

“I thought Phillip arranged a pair of slippers for you,” Sean replied as he headed to the kitchen, hungry for a sandwich.

Susanna rolled her eyes and followed him, saying, “What Phillip arranged for me is different from what you arranged for Norah. By the way, didn’t you notice the way she eagerly clarified where she slept? She’s always quick to downplay her relationship with you. Could it be because she doesn’t like you?”
