Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 796:

“I don’t know,” Burnet replied curtly, dodging Jamison’s question. Although Burnet was aware of the real situation of Connor and his wife, it wasn’t something he could divulge carelessly. After all, Connor’s wife wasn’t just any woman. There was no doubt within him that spreading such information would lead to serious complications.

Frowning slightly, Jamison rubbed his chin thoughtfully and muttered to himself, “It’s strange to see Connor so invested in a woman. In fact, I can’t imagine there’s someone out there he can’t win over. Who is she to resist him?”

Without saying anything, Burnet downed the wine in his glass.

Connor’s wife was Black Mallow, the chief instructor at Doomsday Base. Of course she had the power and authority to challenge Connor’s advances. Burnet couldn’t help but wonder when, or if, Connor would ever manage to win her over. Perhaps it was a battle he was never going to win.

As Connor stepped out of the room, he was unaware of Burnet’s and Jamison’s musings. Internally, he was wrestling with his own thoughts.

Though he had acted arrogant in front of Jamison, even dismissing the advice given to him, Connor had actually taken it to heart. After slamming the door, he didn’t rush off. Instead, he lingered, mulling over his predicament. He was deeply troubled.
