Chapter: 685
“I've heard all the gossip in Glophia, but I don't trust a word of it because, well, rumors are just that-rumors. Tell me, what's going on between you and that illegitimate daughter of the Wilson family?"
Kennedy paused and cast a gossiping glance at Sean.
He had basically watched Sean grow up and had taught him how to shoot. So he was quite straightforward with his words.
"It's difficult to see you often since you've taken over the family's firm. So tell me, what's on your mind?"
"She is not an illegitimate daughter."
The teacup clinked softly as Sean placed it gently on the table.
"The rumors about us are not rumors at all," Sean clarified, his voice steady. “She's my girlfriend now."
Kennedy's jaw dropped in astonishment. "Oh my goodness! Sean, you're telling me that you've taken up with a divorced woman?" he exclaimed, his eyebrows raised in shock.
"There are plenty of eligible women for a man like you. Why choose a divorced woman?" Kennedy asked, his confusion and worry evident in his voice. "What sorcery has she cast over you?"
Phillip watched in fearful anticipation, dreading the eruption he knew could come at any moment.
"So what? I adore her! I don't care who she is or what she's done.
I love her, and that's all that matters to me."
The recent tension between Sean and Norah seemed to fade away when he confessed his love for her.
Kennedy, with a grin, gave Sean a thumbs-up. “Well said! Love wins.
When are you bringing her here? Drinks, food, everything would be on the house!"
“And talking about shooting, I'm afraid she'd give you a run for your money."
In Otland, he had seen for himself just how good she was. Her marksmanship skills were better than his and even possibly better than Kennedy's.
As a master marksman, Kennedy couldn't resist the silent challenge in his mind to test his skills against the young woman's.
"Hey, don't underestimate me!" Kennedy retorted. "My skills were forged on the battlefield. How could I lose to a young lady? I think you've forgotten just who you're talking to!"
Kennedy was fuming at Sean's words. "Sean, unless you bring your girlfriend here to challenge me, I won't let that remark go unnoticed."
He gestured towards the venue and added, “Each time you visit, I've waived the fee. A bit of gratitude wouldn't hurt."
Recognizing Kennedy's non-monetary intent, Sean smiled subtly.
“Phillip has already taken care of your requests. However, introducing my girlfriend will have to wait."
Sean gently touched the teacup, opting not to delve deeply into his relationship with Norah.
