Chapter: 1262

"That is not the reason for your concealment of Nora. You were aware we were searching for her, yet you kept her hidden for your own desires," Sean pressed on, unyielding.

Bryson remained silent but shared the same thought. At that time, they had invested considerable effort to locate Nora, and Kason was well aware of that.

His selfish desire remained undeniable, and Kason did not contest it.

Upon discovering Norah in a coma, his initial instinct was to allow her to rest peacefully.

When Kason learned of her amnesia, he devised a self-serving scheme.

Kason yearned for Norah's company, even if only briefly.

Silence enveloped the private room. Bryson swirled his glass and consumed another sip of wine, still reeling from the revelations of the evening.

Sean's gaze darkened, suppressing his fury.

“Let Norah return to Glophia. She must confront her past. We need to see her," Sean said coldly. "This can occur privately, but I insist on seeing her in Glophia first."

Bryson agreed. “Even though Norah has no memory, we still want to see her and make sure she is doing fine."

Kason pressed his lips together and replied, "I will arrange for her return."

Sean regarded him intently for a prolonged moment before a smirk appeared. "I trust you will honor your promise, Mr. Hayes. Otherwise, I cannot predict my response."

After Sean and Kason reached an agreement, they started a drinking game.

Sean's feelings towards Kason were complex. He felt gratitude for Kason saving Norah's life, yet harbored resentment for Kason's concealment of Norah's whereabouts, causing him much worry.

In response, they drank to excess. Bryson, unwilling to be outdone, joined in.

Several hours later, they were all intoxicated.

Pointing at Kason, Sean exclaimed, "I know you care for Norah. But why did I never suspect your strange behavior before?"

Kason chuckled, “I met Nora first Why should I relinquish her to you? Nora was initially fond of me.”

Bryson swallowed his wine, concealing his feelings for Norah deep within. His inner turmoil went unnoticed.

Sean said, "I am Norah's chosen one."

Kason countered, "Times have changed. Nora loves me the most now!"

Sean, clouded by alcohol, reacted with rising fury.

He swung his fist at Kason. "You scoundrel! You deceived Norah when she lost her memory."

Kason deftly evaded the blow. Leading the army as its formidable commander, his combat prowess was unmatched. Even in his inebriated state, his reflexes remained sharp.
