Love on the Fast Track - Chapter 102

Chapter 102:

Kasan had arranged transportation for Norah back to Dreamview Villas. At this time, Norah approached the entrance of Sean’s place with a bag in hand and rang the bell.

“Supernatural Doctor!” Upon entering, Norah was greeted enthusiastically by a vibrant young woman.

Norah passed the bag to Phillip, requesting, “Would you mind giving this to Sean for me?”

Phillip accepted the bag, peeking inside to find a dress and high heels, then quickly shut it, wary of Susanna on the sofa catching a glimpse.

Sean was seated on the sofa, having returned from the office. He glanced up from his computer and acknowledged Norah’s arrival with a nod.

“Supernatural Doctor, what have you brought for Phillip? May I take a look?” Susanna asked.

Norah responded calmly, “It’s just some items I need to return to your brother. Please take a look.”

Driven by curiosity yet compliant, Susanna reluctantly took her seat, eagerly anticipating her session.

She rolled her eyes, then glanced at Sean sitting nearby, suddenly struck by an idea.

“Sean, I heard this morning’s auction was quite the spectacle. I regret missing it.”

By the time I learned about it, it had already concluded. Such a shame,” Susanna continued with a sigh. “The dress Norah had this morning was stunning. How’s her recovery?”

During Norah’s recovery from her injuries at Sean’s place, Susanna had visited and been supportive, offering help.

Sean responded lazily, “All good.”

“But with Derek and that mistress both in attendance, what was the mood like? Did you pull some strings to teach Derek a lesson? I’ve been told he’s been slow to finalize the divorce with Norah, flaunting his new partner at social gatherings without a care for the rumors!”

Susanna huffed, unaware that Supernatural Doctor was Norah.

She vented her frustration, “Had I been there, I would’ve certainly put that woman in her place. The Powell family is also a well-known family in Glophia. How could they raise such a daughter?”

Sean interjected, “Susanna, watch your language!”

“I stand by my words. Supernatural Doctor, are you familiar with Derek and Madeline? Their scandal is the talk of Glophia lately. It’s something most are aware of,” Susanna said, turning to look at Norah.

Norah casually asked, “I know. How are they talking about me?”

Susanna responded excitedly, “The buzz is that Norah is dragging out the divorce to get the Carter family’s assets. But I’m certain Norah does not need Derek’s modest estate. Norah has a place in Dreamview Villas! And let me tell you, a single house in Dreamview Villas is worth more than the Carter family’s entire wealth!”

Susanna was aware of her family’s significant wealth. Since Sean had taken the reins of the Scott family, their fortune had grown exponentially. It seemed natural to her that the Scotts would own property in Dreamview Villas. Though not well-acquainted with Norah, Susanna was convinced that Norah’s ownership of a house in Dreamview Villas meant she was far from average.

“I’m betting it’s that scumbag Derek who’s stalling the divorce, parading around with his new girl. If I bump into them, I will definitely scold them well!” Susanna said, putting on an earnest look.

Watching Susanna leap to her defense almost made Norah laugh out loud. She found Susanna utterly endearing, secretly wishing to witness Susanna confront Derek and Madeline.

Hearing their exchange, Sean glanced at Norah, who was diligently caring for his sister. Despite Norah’s face being concealed with a mask and cap, making her expressions unreadable, Sean could tell she was amused.

Reflecting on Phillip’s recount of Norah’s delayed arrival due to watching Derek and Kathy argue, Sean couldn’t help but smile.

Sean was unsure of Norah’s feelings toward Derek, yet it was clear she harbored no fondness for Kathy and Madeline, who frequently antagonized her. To teach Kathy a lesson, Sean had even resorted to having Phillip extort her in some way, effectively silencing her for a time.

“Hey, Sean, did you catch the entertainment news today? You and Norah make such a stunning couple! When are you going to win her over?”

“Are you eager for you and Norah to tie the knot?” Susanna told Sean. “I’m looking forward to attending your wedding.”

Sean felt awkward and replied, “Susanna, don’t say those words again, please.”

“All right, just teasing. But it’s okay for me to be a fan of Norah, right?” Susanna playfully rolled her eyes, puzzled by Sean’s obvious discomfort. Susanna felt like she had to figure out a way to help Sean chase after Norah.

Unaware of Susanna’s mindset, Norah wrapped up the session and saw Susanna off. Susanna left in a rush, seemingly on a mission.

With Susanna gone, Phillip away, and Sean having dismissed all the servants, only Norah and Sean remained in the house.

Norah had no intention of lingering and planned to return for some rest.

As Norah was about to depart, Sean called after her, “Norah, hold on a moment.”

“Is there something else?”

Sean put his laptop aside and sat on the sofa close to her. Feeling Sean’s presence, Norah moved away slightly. His aura made her feel uncomfortable.

Norah wore a basic black ensemble and exuded an air of mystery. To Sean, Norah seemed as elusive as a breeze. He longed to grasp her tightly, but she slipped through his fingers.

Sean retrieved a bag beside the sofa containing the dress and shoes Norah had delivered to Phillip moments before.

“You…” Norah paused, “What do you mean by this?”

“I had gifted them to you and I’m taking them back,” Sean replied.

Norah looked up, her eyes meeting Sean’s earnest gaze. She was taken aback. She had never imagined Sean would gift her such expensive clothes.

Norah considered their relationship to be one of mere acquaintance, questioning the necessity of such extravagant presents. She had agreed to attend the auction with Sean as a token of appreciation for his past kindness.

“Norah, having you by my side at today’s auction meant a lot. It truly made me happy,” Sean offered her a gentle smile, his voice rich and warm.

“There’s no need…” Norah started to decline, then paused, mindful of Sean’s character, and remained silent.

“Mr. Scott, your generosity throughout has been overwhelming, and now this dress… I can’t help but feel it’s too much.” Norah tactfully attempted to decline Sean’s offer.
