Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 139:

Heartless As You

Norah tried her best to calm her racing heart, managing a slight smile. “Thank you, Sean, for your kindness. It truly is an honor for me,” she said, looking him in the eyes.

Norah realized she shouldn’t have avoided Sean after that night clouded by too much alcohol. She should have made her stance clear. Yet, at the time, her thoughts had been a whirlwind, making her reluctant to confront him.

When it came to matters of affection, she admittedly lacked experience, but there was still time. She merely wished to gain a deeper understanding before tackling what lay ahead.

Before Sean had a chance to reply, Susanna’s voice traveled down from upstairs. “Hey, I’m coming back!” Susanna made her way down the stairs quickly, holding out a jewelry box to Norah.

With a knowing glance, she said, “Norah, I haven’t forgotten our conversation in the car today. Please, accept this as a gift from me.”

Upon opening the small box, a pair of gleaming diamond earrings caught the light, dazzling both of them.

“I purchased these at an auction I attended with Sean. I’ve never worn them. Somehow, I felt they were destined for you,” Susanna explained sincerely, offering the box. “I see you as a friend, Norah, which is why I wanted to give you this.”

Susanna worried that Norah might refuse the gift.

Norah, however, let out a laugh, noting how Susanna’s generosity mirrored Sean’s, not just with jewelry but with various presents for any occasion. The diamond earrings, shimmering with value, could easily fetch tens of thousands, if not soar to a million at auction.
