Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 135:

Norah could sense Susanna’s thoughts and chuckled softly.

“Liking someone is a feeling. Honestly, | don’t have specific words to describe him in my mind. Perhaps I will only

understand who | like once | meet that person,” Norah replied earnestly.

Susanna found Norah's words somewhat abstract. “No description at all?”

Susanna thought that if there were specific criteria, she could at least guide Norah in that direction.

“No,” Norah replied firmly. “I don’t want to limit the person I like with my imagination. He should be his own

person.”

“Okay, Norah, you sound quite profound,” Susanna said.

Observing Susanna’s puzzled expression, Norah smiled and reassured her, “You'll understand when you meet

someone you like.”

Norah's perspective stemmed from her previous failed marriage. She believed that if the feelings weren't

mutual, they weren't meant to be together. Similarly, she acknowledged that someone could easily fall in love

with another person at first sight.

“I may not fully grasp it at the moment,” Susanna admitted. Due to health concerns, the Scott family had

restricted her interactions with outsiders, so the only man Susanna knew outside her family members was

Phillip.

“It doesn’t matter when you meet them, as long as it’s the right person.” Norah gently stroked Susanna’s hair,

which was soft and pleasant to the touch.

As they conversed, Sean prepared a few dishes and invited them to eat. The servants were absent, and Sean

had single-handedly prepared all the meals. The kitchen was filled with the delightful aroma of food.

Norah found the food on the table to be exceptionally delicious, even more so than the dishes prepared by the

servants in the past.

Pulling out a chair, Sean invited, “Norah, please, take a seat.”

Once she settled, he placed a glass of water in front of her.

“Wow, Sean, your culinary skills have truly flourished. The aroma of these dishes is delightful. Please, dig in,”

Norah said, impressed.

Susanna’s delighted expression as she held her fork infused the atmosphere with lightness, dispelling any

lingering awkwardness between Sean and Norah.

Norah savored each dish, finding them all to be exceptional. Glancing up at Sean, who sat across from her, she

met his gaze.

At that moment, amidst the warmth of the atmosphere, Sean's typically stern demeanor seemed to soften. As he

met Norah's gaze, something unspoken passed between them.

“My culinary skills still pale in comparison to Norah's. I'm still learning,” Sean said humbly.

Norah quickly replied, “Sean, you're far too modest. Your dishes are impeccable and truly delicious.”

Susanna, fork in hand, exclaimed, “Oh dear, Sean, when did you try Norah's cooking? | haven't had the

pleasure!”

As she spoke, Susanna lowered her head and pouted, resembling a spoiled girl. Norah couldn't help but find her

endearing.

“Next t| have a moment, I'll invite you over to my place and cook for you,” Norah offered generously,

glancing at Sean. “Sean, if you're free, you're more than welcto join.”

Susanna cheered gleefully. “Yay! I'd love to have dinner at Norah's house!”

“Norah, as long as you invite, | will make time,” Sean replied, his words drawn out with a hint of laziness in his

tone. His deep, rugged voice stirred something in Norah, reminding her of that fateful night.

Rubbing her cheeks, Norah couldn't help but blherself. She felt she shouldn't dwell on that evening.

After dinner, Norah bid farewell to Sean and Susanna. “Susanna, thank you for invitingover. Sean, thank you

for your hospitality.”

Norah gently ran her slender fingers through Susanna’s hair, giving her a warm smile. “See you.”

As Norah left Sean's villa, Susanna leaped onto the sofa and exclaimed, “Sean! Just chase after Norah. | want

you to be with her! Don’t waste any time. Please.” The more tSusanna spent with Norah, the more she

admired her.

Susanna thought Norah was truly exceptional. During her visit to the hospital to see Gil today, Susanna

overheard Gil and the other doctors praising Norah’s medical skills. She also learned that Joanna's and Kasan’s

surgeries had been performed by Norah.

As Susanna listened to the nurses recounting the situation, she could imagine how critical it must have been at

that time.

In Susanna’s eyes, Norah was not only exceptional in medicine but also skilled in racing and cooking. Moreover,

Norah treated her kindly, handled everything with finesse, and possessed remarkable beauty. It suddenly

dawned on Susanna that Norah had many admirable qualities.

Excitedly, Susanna couldn’t contain herself, bouncing around and making a lot of noise.

Meanwhile, Sean calmly walked over to the sofa, picked up his tablet and laptop, and settled down to work.

“Alright, have a bit of playtand go to bed early. I've got smatters to attend to,” he said.

“Sean, can’t you take this matter seriously? I'm genuinely worried about you!” Susanna protested, stomping her

feet on the sofa as Sean walked away.

Sean closed the door, blocking out Susanna’s voice, and proceeded to set up his computer on his desktop. This

computer was specially customized with top-of-the-line configurations, designed for handling internet-related

issues. Last time, it had helped him evade Moan'’s pursuit and delete sensitive data.

Upon powering up the computer, Sean received an invitation from T. He donned his Bluetooth headset and

listened.

“Sir, the Otland royal family is hoping to purchase information regarding the Supernatural Doctor once again.”

“Must decline? Will they get enraged?” Sean signed into the hacker forum, replying, “Sacrifice is not afraid of

them.”

“Alright, | get it. Do you need anything from the forum?”

“Just browsing casually.”

As he finished speaking, Sean received a notification that a friend had logged in. He had Moan on a special

notification list, and he'd be informed each tMoan went online.

“Okay, | have something to attend to. I'll leave those matters to you.”

Sean hung up the phone and messaged Moan. “How about we take on a challenge together?”

“Sounds good,” Moan replied.

Moan had set up a gthat included various obstacles. Global hackers had collaborated to build this

challenging game, which tested players’ reaction time, quickness, and hacking prowess. The challenge

leaderboard’s rankings were dynamic, and the hackers’ ranks were tied to the leaderboard standings.

In the game, Moan and Secqrl engaged in intense competition, trading first-place victories.

After playing for a while, Sean’s mood lifted.

“I have a question for you,” Sean messaged during halftime.

“Ask away.”

Moan’s response was brief, icy, and cryptic: “How do you make a woman like you?”

Norah read the message, her brows furrowing in concentration.

The fact that N was male surprised her. Nor did she anticipate that he would inquire about love. Norah

speculated that N might lack friends in real life, which could be why he sought advice from strangers online.

Norah paused to consider her response. “Prove your abilities to her. You'll be able to tell if she likes you.”
