Chapter 348


    The Lamont family.


    Henson used


    horse farm for horseback riding.


    Jonathan and Charlie were going to talk about the intelligent robots project, so they invited him to


    the horse farm as well.


    After running around the horse farm, they returned to the vi. Jonathan and Charlie talked business


    while Henson went fishing on his own.


    After a while, Henson came over, “Uncle, can you give Ms. Macin a call and ask if she’s avable?”


    He was so bored fishing alone that he almost fell asleep.


    Jonathan sat under the sunshade, his sunsses shielding his eyes, making him look even more


    indifferent and cold. Hearing Henson’s words, he paused for a moment before replying, “Ms. Macin


    is busy. Go have fun by yourself!”


    Charlie chuckled, “Since we’re here to apany Henson, let’s y with him. We can continue talking


    business when we get back.”


    Jonathan nodded and got up to walk to the riverbank, asking Henson, “How many fish have you


    caught? Is it enough for lunch?”


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Henson snorted, “All the fish in the river today are male!”


    “What?” Charlie didn’t understand. “Fish have genders?”


    Only Jonathan understood Henson’s joke, which reminded him of Estelle and her mischievous, bright


    smile. His heart skipped a beat, and his voice deepened, “Don’t talk nonsense, it’s clear that your


    fishing skills are not up to par.”


    “Why don’t you try it yourself, see if they’ll bite?” Henson mocked.


    Henson sat in the chair, set up the bait, and cast the hook into the water, watching the sparkling water.


    He couldn’t help but think of thest time in the woods when she bumped into his arms and smiled


    coyly.


    Fishing was supposed to be calming, but his heart was anything but peaceful.


    In the afternoon, they left the horse farm, and Charlie went with them to the Lamont family.


    In the study on the third floor, the two talked about work for a while. Jonathan’s phone on the desk


    vibrated, and he went to answer it, while Charlie sat on the couch drinking coffee.


    Putting down the coffee cup, Charlie got up and looked for a book to read in front of a row of floor-to-


    ceiling bookshelves.


    He reached up and pulled a book from the high shelf. A photo slipped out of the pages and fell onto the


    carpet.


    Jonathan nced over as he was on the phone, his brow slightly furrowing.


    “Whose photo did you hide?”


    15:10


    Charlie picked up the photo with a smile, taking a look before his grin faded.


    Jonathan hung up the call and sat in front of theputer to check some information.


    Charlie nced up and asked, “Is this a photo from when you were a mercenary?”


    Jonathan stared at theputer and nodded slightly.


    Charlie’s gaze continued to linger on the photo. He saw nine people in it, all wearing camouge and


    helmets, their faces painted beyond recognition.


    Charlie chuckled, “Let me guess which one is you.”


    He scanned the photo,nding on the tallest guy in the middle,ughing, “This tall one is you, right?


    Your eyes are the same, but also different now.”


    Jonathan looked at theputer and said quietly, “It’s been many years.”


    Charlie asked again, “Is this short guy next to you also your teammate?”


    Jonathan paused, his eyes darkened, and spoke slowly, “No, we went on a special mission that time,


    which required absolute confidentiality. We formed a temporary team, each person handpicked


    from different teams.”


    Charlie nodded, “This kid looks quite young.”


    “Yeah!” Jonathan said softly, “She’s a girl!”
