Hubby 173

Chapter 173 He Really Doesn’t Care about His Life

Ken settled into the backseat of the car, straightening his tic.

He would be 40 after he celebrated his birthday. Time flies.

He still vividly remembered being 13, the year Wade took him from the orphanage.

Now, 27 years had slipped away just as swiftly,

How many more periods of 27 years would he get to experience?

“Mr. Morris, should I drive you home?” the driver inquired softly.

Ken paused, the word ‘home‘ echoing in his mind.

For him, as an adopted orphan, the concept of ‘home‘ felt elusive….

At Zev’s residence.

“Thank you for your feedback. Are you satisfied with how we handled your complaint?” the customer service center called to ask Zev about their resolution regarding the IF Square issue.

“It’s fine,” Zev responded nonchalantly from the couch.

Kelly emerged from the kitchen, laughing at Zev’s demeanor. “You really have a way of getting under people’s skin. Did you see how worked up Regina and Eric were? You really stirred them up.”

Zev grunted, half–joking, “Beating people up is my real talent; it’s only the laws that saved them.”

Kelly, unable to dispute Zev’s rough charm, handed him a basket of freshly baked buns. “Take these over to Connor.“.

Zev made a face. “Why bother? Why go to all the trouble of making these just to give them away?”

Kelly had recently taken up making buns and kneading dough, partly to help Zev improve his finger dexterity.

Kelly observed Zev closely. “Are you really from Seaville? Why do I hear a Stoneville accent in your speech?”

Zev responded with a hint of pride, “It’s a trick of the trade. I spent half a year with friends from Stoneville to master it.”

A look of admiration briefly flickered in Kelly’s eyes.

As undercover agents, their lives were perpetually on the line, akin to having a gun pressed against their own temples–any small slip could mean dire consequences.

“Zev, when Lucas is apprehended, does that conclude your mission?” Kelly inquired, shifting the topic to something more grave.

Kelly’s gaze dropped, a twinge of sadness tinged her voice.

Michael had also fallen victim to Lucas…

Indeed, Lucas has to be captured.

“Shall I go then?” Kelly said, changing the subject as she held the buns, trying to lighten the mood.

Zev reached out to take it, but Kelly had already turned and was walking away.

He sensed that Kelly’s thoughts had drifted to Michael once again.

If Eric once held a special place in Kelly’s heart as a cherished memory, Michael was an unforgettable mark.

Zev understood that with the shadows of these two men looming, it would be difficult for him to find a place in Kelly’s heart.

Yet, he could not help but cling to the selfish desire to tie himself to her through marriage–at least then, even in death, he would remain Kelly’s husband.

Kelly stepped out with the buns and knocked on Gary’s door next door.

Yet, there was no response.

Hadn’t they come back yet?

Peering downstairs, Kelly caught sight of Gary’s car. Gary was there, holding Connor and speaking to a man.

That man … It was Ken, whom Kelly had encountered earlier at the mall.

Kelly immediately recognized Ken due to his distinct demeanor.

It was clear that Ken knew Gary, and their exchange appeared somewhat strained as Gary ushered Connor into the building.

Ken remained outside, his figure exuding a sense of isolation.

“Aunt Kelly!” Connor spotted Kelly and ran over joyfully.

Kelly smiled and handed him one of the buns. “Zev made these. They might not look the best, but I made the filling, so they should taste pretty good.”

Connor eagerly accepted the bun with a bright smile. “Thank you!”

Gary also offered a grateful smile. “Thanks, looks like dinner is sorted for tonight.”

Kelly hesitated before asking, “I saw you talking with Mr. Morris from the Lockhart Group?”

Gary paused, slightly taken aback, then nodded. “Yes, we’ve known each other for a long time.”

Kelly nodded back. “We ran into Eric and Regina today at IF Square. She was causing a scene, but Mr. Morris helped calm things down.”
