Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 197:

Sean thought about the schedule Phillip had reported to him. Finally, he said, “Honey, I have to work this afternoon. Can you go to the hospital alone? I’ll pick you up when I’m done.”

“Sure,” Norah said, standing up. She added, “Before I was with you, I handled all these things myself. So don’t treat me like I’m made of glass. I can pull my own weight.”

Norah felt that Sean had seemingly forgotten her ability to handle her life well. She was perfectly fine with going to the hospital alone. Did Sean suppose she was incapable of taking care of herself? Was that why he asked her to become his girlfriend—an incapable girlfriend who would boost his ego?

The more Norah thought about it, the more her displeasure grew. “Are you planning to trap me by your side?”

Sean was surprised that his words, which he had said as a way to show how much he cared, had been so badly misconstrued. “No. That’s not my intention.”

Growing up in the Scott family, Sean was taught to believe in people’s abilities. This was why he had shown his support when Norah expressed her desire to make progress in her career. Wasn’t a big part of loving someone about helping them become a better version of themselves?

Norah snarled. “You better not. I’m leaving now. Call me when you come to pick me up.”

With that, she picked up her bag and left gracefully.

Phillip watched Norah leave coldly, then approached Sean and said, “We need to make the sacrifice this afternoon, Mr. Scott. Shall we go now?”
