Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 59:

Norah softly stated, “Mr. Hayes, I’ll keep your words in mind.” She hoped Kason would prove to be more reliable than Derek had been.

From her observations, Norah saw Kason as a man of integrity, likely a trait sharpened by his time in the military, where directness was valued.

Curiously, Norah asked, “Mr. Hayes, at the peak of your youth, do you ever regret leaving the military so early?”

This question had been on her mind since she met Kason. Still under 30 years old and at the height of his capabilities, his choice to exit the military and lead the Hayes family left her puzzled. Norah doubted she could have made such a decisive move if she had been in his shoes.

After a pause, Kason responded in a low voice, “The Hayes family lacked a suitable leader. As part of this family, stepping in was a responsibility. Plus, with my grandfather’s severe illness, it was only natural for me to return and support him.”

Norah was aware that Kason’s parents had perished in a tragic plane crash, a story that had deeply moved Glophia and garnered widespread sympathy for the Hayes family. Unlike most, the Hayes family had suffered immense loss.

Members of the Hayes family had mostly pursued military careers, but only Kason had diverged, choosing to focus on art in college.

Gazing at his right hand, Kason’s voice carried a hint of sadness. “My departure from the military was also for health reasons.”

Norah furrowed her brow as she regarded him, asking, “What health issues were you facing?” She observed Kason’s appearance, noting his robust complexion and sturdy physique. She couldn’t discern any signs of illness.

“A few years ago, during an operation, I damaged the tendons in my right hand, rendering me unable to shoot with precision,” Kason explained with an air of nonchalance, as though discussing something distant from his own experience.

Yet, Norah detected a note of sorrow in his voice.
