NovelEndChapter 1272: When he arrived with his team, he had managed to rescue Alice's subordinates. However, another group got away too quickly, and Sean hadn't caught any of them.

"I don't want to lie to you either, but I'm still trying to figure out how to explain it. Can you givea bit more time? Once I sort it out, I'll tell you everything." Seeing the uncertainty on her face, Sean stopped and affectionately pinched her cheek. "Okay, whenever you're ready to talk, I'm here to listen. I want us to always be honest with each other." Norah's eyelashes fluttered slightly as she looked at him. “Okay. By the way, I was surprised by Sacredice's involvement in today's fight. Did you enlist their help to rescue me?" Now it was Sean's turn to feel uneasy. He had just spoken about the importance of honesty between them, and here he was, on the verge of lying. "Well, it's quite easy to hire Sacredice mercenaries. I think it's a worthwhile expense to ensure your safety." Sean quickened his pace, trying to hide his discomfort. He wasn't entirely lying since Kelvin had organized these men knowing Sean's presence in Surella. He figured that since Norah had previously encountered Sacredice personnel, it would be easier to use them for support. If Norah never traveled internationally, his role as the leader of Sacredice could remain a secret.
This felt like a ticking tbomb, and he knew he needed to choose the right moment to tell her the full truth. When should he do it? Maybe after they were married? That seemed like a good choice.
Norah had no idea that the man next to her was already planning their wedding. She didn't worry about Sacredice's people. To her, they were just another group of mercenaries available for hire with the right amount of money-nothing out of the ordinary.
But what did concern her more was Adair. Where might he have fled to after his escape? His arm injury would require medical attention, so where would he seek treatment? Who would he turn to for help? Caught up in her thoughts, Norah simply followed Sean, not paying attention to where they were going. When she finally snapped out of her reverie, she realized she was seated on a bed in a room at a five-star hotel. Taken aback, she blinked in confusion.

Sean appeared calm and didn't seem the least bit uneasy. When he caught sight of Norah's questioning look, he coughed lightly a couple of times.
