Chapter 249

Sean was really serious.

The expression on his face showed that he was not joking, not even one bit.

After he was done talking. Scan kept quiet aslie waited for Willow to respond.

This time, he had dislied everything out truthfully to Willow, and he did not lide anything.

The both of them were still looking into each others‘ eyes when the room fell into pin–drop silence Sean‘s was unsazed, while Willow was slackjawed as if she had heard absurd news.

“...Sean Lennon, w–wliat did you just say?”

After what seemed like forever, Willow had slowly regained her senses as she looked at Sean dumbfoundedly.

Sean spoke once more, “I said, that person in that photo‘s the highest–ranking nine–star commander “Which is... me.”

Sean was calm as he repeated once more.

This time, Willow heard him loud and clear.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Willow reached out her hand and slowly felt Sean‘s forehead.

“What is it?”

Sean did not shy away, but allowed Willow‘s soft and warm hand to cover his forehead as he asked confusedly.

“You‘re not having a sever...

“Why are you saying nonsensical things now?”

Willow frowned and muttered to hersell.

Sean heard that and shook his head helplessly.

“I‘m not speaking nonsensical things “I, Sean Lennon, am the highest–ranking commander in the military, “I‘ve only told you this secret. You and you alone.”

Even so, the way Willow was looking at hin was like...

It was like she was looking at someone who had just escaped the mental asylum.

Sean felt helpless. It was rare that he even tried to explain something to someone since he usually did not bother to do so anyway.

N Alas, the rare time that he actually explained thoroughly was greeted with Willow’s unwillingness to believe him.

“That’s impossible!

“You do have resemblance with that person in terms of the side profile “But your body shapes are way different! Did you think I wouldn’t notice?”

After Sean was done speaking, Willow started her rebuttal immediately.

“That’s because I’ve grown a lot plumper under your tender loving care the past two years!”

Sean shook his head exasperatedly, but he was still explaining with patience.

If it were anyone else, he would only say it once.

Whether they believed it was not up to them..

However, when it came to Willow Quinn, Sean had an immense amount of patience.

“Even if what you say is true, “The person in the photo was standing, and you…”

Willow was quick to stop speaking, since this was Sean’s shortfall, she did not want to casually bring it up.

“You… Doctors said that your disability is from birth, you weren’t able to walk since you were.

born.”

Willow hesitated for a while before she finally said it.

“They’re all crappy doctors.

“My feet are like these because I got backstabbed.

“When things at River City is settled, I’ll want to seek payback for this matter.”

Sean shook his head and as he talked about that, his eyes became icy cold.

However, Willow was still shaking her head.

“Okay, you don’t have to lie to me.

“I’ve heard Rae say that this person was so high in ranking they could not even speak of his name lightly.

L “You must be one of the soldiers under him, right?

“This was why you‘re trying to cover up for him by deleting the photo, and claiming that it‘s you, right?”

Willow had finally spoken about the hypothesis she liad made up in her mind.

Most importantly, is Sean was as powerful as he claimed he was, how did he end up like how lie was now?

That was why Willow insisted on believing that Sean was just pulling her leg to make her laugh.

Sean looked at how serious Willow was and did not know whether to laugh or to cry.

I Willow could find a reasonable explanation for everything, what else could he say?

He watched how Willow behaved like detective supreme and how she was still smirking at how clever she thought she was.

“If you think so, it is so, then...”

Sean could only nod exasperatedly.

“Hah! It‘s impossible to hide things from me!”

Willow laughed proudly, giving herself a mental pat on the back for such an amazing hypothesis she had come up with.

“Then tell me, who is this person?

“Since he‘s your former superior, you‘d know, right?

“I‘m so curious! Would you tell me?”

Willow looked at Sean once more as she asked hopefully.

Too bad, Sean did not know what to say at that time!

The person in the photo was him, Sean Lennon, who was right in front of Willow at that time.

It was just a simple explanation, which was...

He, Sean Lennon, was the person in the photo.

However, no matter how Scan tried to explain, Willow did not believe him!

“Willow, I heard your friend, Rachel Summers is about to come back, right?”

Sean did not answer Willow but instead threw another question at lier.

“Yeah!”

Willow nodded and said, “Rae said thic army is a lot different than before, and that she was mentally and physically tired of it, that‘s why she didn‘t wanna stay there for much longer “Two days ago, she had already sent in her application to retire from the army. As soon as she finishes settling things shie has to settle, she should be back soon.”

Sean replied, “When she‘s back, perhaps the answers for everything would surface.”
