Love on the Fast Track

Chapter 349:

Norah doubted she could have resisted Sean’s charm if Alice hadn’t been there the night before. She might have pulled Sean into a bedroom. After all, they had already been intimate once before, and doing it again didn’t seem like a big deal to her. All that mattered to her was having a good time.

Holding Sean’s hand firmly, Norah declared, “Okay, I’m done playing nice. I want prawns, fish, and chicken. You decide how to cook them.” Norah only named the ingredients, curious about what Sean would come up with.

“Absolutely.” Sean gave Norah an adoring smile, paying no mind to Susanna, who was seated next to Norah. “Honey, you call the shots.”

There was a palpable connection between Sean and Norah. Susanna rubbed her arms, wishing to leave. Sure enough, as two people fell in love, public displays of affection were just part of the package—anytime, anywhere. She felt a bit bad for Phillip, who had to endure their displays every day.

Then, Susanna’s thoughts shifted to Bryson, relieved that Sean had an assistant to keep things in check. Otherwise, Sean might belatedly realize he had been set up. Susanna never appreciated Madeline and Kathy due to their past actions against Norah.

Her disdain for them grew after what happened to Bryson, likely due to their combined efforts in concocting a scheme against him.

“Norah, did you hear? Derek and Madeline are getting married. Even the Scott family got an invite. They’ve been hustling, hitting one milestone after another. Just a while back, Derek popped the question, and boom, they were at city hall. Their big day’s in two weeks, but I’m not going. Neither is anyone from the Scott family,” Susanna said, her voice dripping with indifference.

Then, with a smirk, she couldn’t resist adding, “Derek must think pretty highly of himself to send an invite to the Scott family!”

Sean’s voice was deep and even as he said, “They couldn’t get hold of Norah, so they sent the invite over. There’s one with Norah’s name on it.”

“An invite for me?” Norah pointed at herself, her laughter tinged with disbelief. “Have Derek and Madeline lost their minds? They invite me to their wedding? They must still assume I am some pushover. Have they forgotten I claimed a big chunk of the Carter family’s assets?”

Norah’s smile was a flash of brilliance across her face. “They mailed my invite to the Scott family. They must have caught wind of the news that Sean and I are an item. Isn’t Derek scared of Sean’s clout?”

With a light laugh, Susanna said, “Madeline and Kathy must not have their heads on straight. Derek’s Kathy’s elder brother.”

“Bad judgment must run in that family.” Clasping Norah’s hand firmly, Sean asked, “Honey, are you going to their wedding?”

“Of course, I’ll go.” Norah beamed. “If he’s bold enough to invite me, I’ll certainly be the event’s showstopper.”

At the Wilson family’s residence, Corrin was deep in thought on the sofa, holding Derek’s wedding invite. “Honey, what was Derek thinking? Sending us a wedding invite to his second marriage. Has he lost his mind?”

Samira seemed equally puzzled. “Couldn’t agree more. Do you think he sent one to Luna as well?”

As Shayla fiddled with the invite, Luna confirmed, “He had.”

This made it clear to them that Derek had intentionally sent invites their way. Corrin flung the invite onto the table. “I can’t figure out what’s going through Derek’s head. Norah’s back from her trip, isn’t she?”

“Indeed, she’s back.” Luna had planned to catch up with Norah at the hospital following the birthday party but found Norah had left for a business trip overseas. Dooley went back to his job, while Luna decided to wait for Norah’s return. Once learning Norah’s ties to the Scott family, Dooley stopped bringing up the divorce. Luna was set on repairing her bond with Norah, aiming to keep the peace in the family for Shayla’s sake.
