Chapter 191:

After Sean departed, Norah remained in a trance, her mind struggling to return to the present. She lightly brushed her neck, feeling the lingering wetness of his kiss.

Norah was puzzled. Was his kiss an assumption of her feelings? Did he ever stop to consider the possibility that she might decline? His actions seemed recklessly bold.

Immersing herself in the bath, she plunged underwater, holding her breath with intensity until the urgent need for air overwhelmed her.

However, she found herself easily swayed by Sean’s presence or his words, pondering when affection had begun to take root. Every time Sean was around, her heart would race. In his absence, her thoughts would subconsciously drift to him, filled with curiosity about his day. She would even wonder if he had already eaten. She yearned to know every part of his life.
