TimeNovelChapter 265:
Lying on his bed, Kason stared up at the ceiling, lost in thought. When he found out that the Fox Alliance had
taken Norah away, he and his men set out to chase them. But he learned that Norah had already left with Sean.
He wondered if he had been too late even then.
Love works in mysterious ways, and timing isn’t always key. Kason had met Norah before Sean ever did, but that
didn’t seem to matter. He was the one who had taken her to the orphanage, marking the end of their first
meeting. Yet, hearing news about Norah always caused a sharp ache in his chest. It was as though someone was
squeezing it tightly, and the pain was nearly unbearable.
Clutching his chest, he struggled to breathe as memories of Norah flooded his mind. Kason couldn't help but
question whether he had missed his chance with her. He compared himself to Sean, acknowledging that Sean
was younger, more capable, and in a better position in life. He had to accept that Norah had made the right
choice in choosing Sean. She deserved to be with someone like him.

Pulling out his phone, Kason opened the chat with Norah. The last message he sent asked her about her
whereabouts. Norah had replied that she was on a business trip in Otland. Since then, there had been silence.
Gently pressing on her profile picture, Kason was reminded of Norah's mysterious and intense nature. She was
like the night—full of secrets and without a glimmer of light.
As his finger touched her profile picture, it accidentally hit the emoji button, sending one. An emoji popped up on
the screen, followed by a message asking her what she was up to.
Kason jerked his hand back as if he'd touched a hot stove, staring at the emoji in disbelief. Sending an emoji to
Norah was the last thing he had expected to do. Yet, Norah responded quickly.

She sent back a question mark. Clutching his phone, Kason typed and erased a few words, unable to bring
himself to send anything back. Seeing that he was still typing, Norah waited patiently. Eventually, Kason
managed to send her a message: “I heard you and Mr. Scott are dating. Congrats!”
Norah replied with a smiley face and her thanks soon after. Kason waited for a bit, but no further messages
came. He figured they were probably together at that moment.
Sean rarely traveled abroad, so it seemed unlikely that he would be overseas just when Norah was unless it was
planned by him. Kason decided to stop dwelling on it. In the end, he and Norah were just meant to be friends.
Norah set her phone down and took a sip of her lemonade, enjoying the moment. Her phone screen stayed on,
and Sean, leaning forward, saw Kason’s nabove the chat box.
Trying to sound nonchalant, he asked, “Who's that messaging?”
“Kason,” Norah replied. “He found out we're dating and sent his best wishes.” She gave him a playful look.
“Want to take a peek at my chat history? Feel free to take a look.”
She noticed the way his eyes darted back and forth between her phone and her, realizing he was curious.
“Can I? Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?” Sean hesitated, pretending to be reluctant.

They hadn't been dating for long, yet he felt the urge to check her phone. He was concerned it might make him
appear petty and jealous, which was not the impression he wanted to give.
Norah smiled, sensing his insecurity. “I'm aware you and Kason are friends, and he knows that too. How about
we meet with him once we're back?”
Norah immediately agreed, “Sounds good to me.”
She had been under the impression that Sean was jealous of her and Kason'’s friendship. She recalled how Sean
seemed bothered by it after she ventured into FOX Alliance for Kason.
Gently tugging on Sean's arm, she reassured him, “Kason is just a friend. You know that. Here, take my phone
and look for yourself.”
She confessed to having had a brief crush on Kason because of his good looks and because he had once saved
her life, which she thought was natural. Similarly, her feelings for Derek had blossomed because he too had
saved her life at one point.
