Agnes was standing right there.
She realized a long time ago, actually.
Kearney's feelings for Phenix seemed to be more complicated than they appeared.
Phenix was friendly to everyone. Yet, she seemed to deliberately keep her distance from Kearney. And when Kearney looked at Phenix, there was a sense of restrained affection in his eyes.
In three months, Phenix and their eldest brother Sean were to be married in Bali.
There seemed to be many stories in it that Agnes didn't know about.
Agnes had never asked., but she knew that Phenix, Sean, and Kearney were adopted together by Reggie and grew up together.
Their bond was profoundly deep.
Even if there were some unknown emotional entanglements, Agnes couldn't understand them.
Kearney and Agnes went out together.
Kearney went up to the rooftop to smoke.
This place was called The Aeolus Tower.
A spacious vintage platform, on the east side of Pegasus Plaza.
Also, the tallest place apart from Pegasus Plaza.
Standing there, you could see all the pavilions, towers, and mansions of Eden Nights.
You could also see the mountains and lakes to the north.
When you looked up, you felt incredibly close to the night sky, as if you could pluck the stars from the horizon.
Kearney was smoking, and Agnes walked over, calling out, "Kearney."
Kearney snapped back to reality, "How's your situation?"
Kearney was aware of many things about Agnes.
Including the previous investigation of Vernon, Kearney had put in a lot of effort.
