Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 417:

“Honey, my desire to be with you, to introduce you to everyone, to marry you — it’s all genuine.”

Sean prided himself on being a man of his word; once he committed, he was determined to uphold it. But for Norah’s sake, he had willingly bent many of his own rules.

His devotion to her was evident in his actions. There was no denying it; he simply adored her. And for the things he adored, he always had patience.

As they sat in the quiet car, the rhythm of their hearts beating echoed like drums, their excitement palpable. Both were swept up in the rush of accelerated heartbeats and surging adrenaline.

“Mr. Scott, I’ve returned.”

The affectionate ambiance dissipated as soon as Phillip opened the car door and spoke.

Sean clenched his teeth inwardly. Why did Phillip have to intrude at this precise moment? Couldn’t he read the room? He had assumed Phillip was more perceptive. It proved he was utterly wrong.

Norah, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn’t anticipated how to respond. Marriage didn’t guarantee permanence; even couples who were married could divorce. Being publicly involved with Sean now might lead to awkwardness if they parted ways in the future.

“Phillip, you took quite a while in the bathroom. Are you feeling unwell? Shall I fetch you some medicine? Don’t hesitate to address any health concerns, young man; it’s important to prioritize your well-being.”
