Love on the Fast Track

Chapter 1349:

“I know, but I haven’t said yes yet. I told him I’d think about it. It feels a bit soon; I still want to enjoy my freedom for a few more years.” Norah teased her relentlessly. “Then Phillip might have to endure years of waiting. Susanna, do what makes you happy. Your happiness is paramount.”

To them, marriage was not a significant matter; it was simply an official acknowledgment of their relationship.

Susanna lifted her wine glass and took a deep sip. “That’s exactly how I feel. But Phillip looked so earnest, I couldn’t just dismiss him.”

Joanna chimed in, “You should prioritize your feelings.”

Susanna said, “I really care for Phillip. Perhaps I’ll be the first among us to wed.”noveldrama

Joanna nearly choked on her wine. “Are you seriously considering marriage?”

Susanna nodded decisively. “Yes! I don’t want to disappoint Phillip. I’ve made up my mind on how to respond.”

Today’s conversation with her friends had sparked a lot of reflection. Previously, it was Phillip who doted on her. Now, she found herself considering his emotions as well.

Norah and Joanna exchanged a glance, realizing their conversation had unintentionally accelerated Susanna’s wedding plans.

Susanna turned to Norah and said, “Norah, there’s a rule in the Scott family that says I can’t get married until my older brother does. So, have you and my brother thought about tying the knot?”

Joanna blinked in surprise and then burst into laughter. “Ha-ha! Susanna, that was a roundabout way to push her into marriage! Well played!”

Susanna frowned and gave her a sharp look. “I’m not joking. It’s a real Scott family rule. If my brother doesn’t marry first, I’ll have to wait.”

Norah raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Joanna chuckled. “Norah, this is what Susanna and I are trying to say. What about you and Sean? When are you two getting married? If you keep dragging it out, Susanna’s going to be pretty frustrated.”

“We’ll see what Sean has planned. I have no objections anyway.” After her trip with Sean to Sevaedda, Norah realized she wasn’t as scared of marriage as she once thought. “Marriage isn’t the problem. Rather, it is a blessing for those truly in love, not some kind of prison.”

Joanna and Susanna exchanged knowing looks before shifting the conversation to other topics with smiles on their faces.

While everyone was chatting and laughing, Norah leaned back on the sofa, delighted that each of them was pursuing their own happiness.

Norah wasn’t drunk. Seeing the two who couldn’t handle their liquor, now completely wasted, she called their partners to come take them home.

In Sevaedda, Sean had brought up marriage. At the time, Norah had felt a little unsure and hadn’t given him an answer. But now, if he asked again, she knew she wouldn’t hesitate.

Sean arrived to pick her up. As he helped her into the car, he couldn’t help but ask, “Why drink so much with your friends?”
