Love on the Fast Track

Chapter 1262:

“Fine,” he said softly, his voice warm. “I’ll just hold you to sleep then.”

Both were unclothed, and as Sean held her close, Norah felt his arousal brush against her leg. She looked up at him with a hint of skepticism.

“Can you really sleep?” she asked, attempting to slip from his grasp. “I think you’d be more comfortable in your own room.”

It seemed cruel to her that he had to endure the proximity of his attractive girlfriend without the intimacy they both usually shared.

“Besides,” she added, “men can be unpredictable. You might try to tempt me again.”

A shadow crossed Sean’s face.

“Is that what you think of me?”

Norah nodded.

Despite her reservations, Sean chose to stay in her room, unable to part from her soft, fragrant presence. Although it tested his self-discipline, he preferred it to the loneliness of his own bed.

As sleep claimed him, a thought lingered: he needed to take Norah away from this place. The frustration was becoming unbearable.

The following morning, Norah awoke to find Sean no longer beside her.

He had honored her boundaries. Her teasing had been intentional, and remembering his earnest reaction brought a smile to her face. Sean was indeed too amusing.

Before the crisis with Dark Night escalated, Alice had lowered her guard slightly, suggesting to Norah that they might be overthinking the threat.

The survivors of Dark Night were insignificant now, hardly capable of stirring real trouble. Their interest in Alice and Norah likely stemmed from their former prominence within the organization. Perhaps Dark Night hoped to reclaim some of its lost influence by drawing them back in.

During their confidential discussions, Norah and Alice considered various theories, and Alice’s hypothesis seemed most credible. Consequently, Norah shifted her attention away from the undocumented migrants in Surella, focusing instead on preparing for her grandfather’s surgery.

Thanks to Norah’s use of traditional herbal remedies, Keenan’s health had markedly improved. He was now able to sit up and talk with visiting family members. Keenan had his attorney certify the transfer of the Frazier family shares, increasing Norah’s stake to ten percent. This decision faced no opposition from the Fraziers.

Both Huntley and Keenan acknowledged that without Norah, the Miller family would not have vanished so swiftly from Surella, nor would the Frazier family be enjoying such peace. Those shares were a gesture of gratitude to Norah.

Upon learning this, Norah grew even more affectionate towards the Frazier family, appreciating their sincere concern for her. In contrast, within the Wilson family, Iker and others wished her harm simply to gain control of the company shares.
