Chapter: 815

She was on the verge of calling it a fraud.

“Miss Wilson, Kennedy is a good friend to us. It's not right to foo..

I mean, to profit from him."

She nearly blurted out "fool" but caught herself in time. With Sean present, she had to be cautious with her words.

Susanna defended Norah, "Amabel, you're not Kennedy. He hasn't voiced any complaints, yet you've already drawn a conclusion.”

Kennedy gave Amabel a displeased look. "This is my decision to make.

I'm paying because I believe in Norah's medical skills. I'm happy to aot His tone carried a hint of irritation. The spots Norah had pressed were exactly where he often felt discomfort.

“Norah, could you elaborate on the proper amount to use of the tincture and the massage techniques?"

Norah explained every detail to Kennedy plainly, completely disregarding Amabel.

Seizing the moment, Spencer leaned in and whispered to his sister, "“Amabel, should we get going?"

He had felt out of place the entire time. Couldn't Amabel feel the tension too? He had caught several unfriendly looks from the Scott siblings and couldn't stand it any longer.

Amabel quickly dismissed the idea. "No, you go ahead if you want.

It's not often I get to hang out with Sean. Go if you feel like it.

I'm staying."

Despite her words, Spencer couldn't just leave his sister alone. He decided to fade into the background and hope the others would simply ignore him.

As Kennedy talked with Norah, he found himself admiring her more. She was well-informed and had thoughtful views on various topics, and her independence was truly impressive. She had managed to move on from a past relationship and thrive on her own in Glophia, showing remarkable emotional strength.

“Norah, next time you're free, why not bring Sean and Susanna over to shoot some guns and unwind?"

As he talked with Norah, he noticed she reminded him of a friend who had passed away. Suddenly, it seemed like his old friend's face was superimposed on Norah's.

It was a quiet miracle, subtly drawing them closer.

Amabel was keen to join their conversation but didn't grasp the topic that Kennedy was discussing. Her area of expertise was finance, so she had no choice but to engage Susanna in conversation.

However, Susanna was preoccupied with Norah. Even though she couldn't participate in their discussion, she listened attentively from the sidelines.

Sean looked on with a smile. He shared a close bond with Kennedy and knew that Kennedy tended to keep others at arm's length. It was out of his expectations that Norah and Kennedy hit it off well without his needing to step in.

Norah sensed a special connection with Kennedy, feeling as though there was some kind of affinity between them. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so at ease. Being around compatible people was comforting.

As the afternoon wore on, they talked for hours. Kennedy, feeling hospitable, decided to extend an invitation for dinner.
