Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 78:

Norah swiftly prepared three dishes and a soup, inviting Sean to join her for dinner. On a previous occasion, Norah had the chance to savor Sean’s cooking when she visited the Scott family’s residence after catching a cold. Today, she reciprocated the gesture by inviting Sean to taste her own culinary creations as a token of appreciation.

Assuming Sean had already dined with a lovely woman at a restaurant, Norah felt that leaving him satiated and full shouldn’t be a problem. The aroma of the dishes wafted through the air. Sean breathed it in deeply and then dug into the meal with his fork.

He complimented her, “This is delightful.”

Despite the simplicity, the home-cooked dishes Norah had prepared were incredibly flavorful. Norah grinned, encouragingly saying, “Feel free to have more if you enjoy it.”

Norah had a fondness for coriander, but this time she omitted it from the dishes, making them slightly less flavorful to her taste. Observing Sean continue to consume the food, Norah couldn’t suppress her surprise. Hadn’t he already eaten dinner? How could he have such a hearty appetite?

Sean finished the meal, wiping his mouth with a tissue. He expressed his gratitude, “Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Wilson. The food is exceptionally delicious, far surpassing my own culinary skills.”

“Your culinary skills, Mr. Scott, are impressive. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal,” Norah complimented him. She continued eating, mentioning that she tended to eat at a leisurely pace.

“Mr. Scott, feel free to leave if you have other commitments.”

Sean finished his meal while Norah continued eating at a slower pace. He assured her, “No worries. I don’t have any pressing matters. I can wait for you to finish, Miss Wilson.”
