My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage - Chapter 760

Chapter 760:

🍙 🍙 🍙 🍙 🍙

Carrie and Arion had only just entered the office and exchanged greetings with the mentors when Kendall walked in after them. No sooner had Arion settled onto the sofa than he jumped back to his feet.

“Mr. Watson, what brings you here today?”

The other two mentors stood and made their way over to welcome him.

In the Music Association, Kendall’s piano expertise was unquestionable. However, his eccentric personality made him a recluse, preferring solitude over mingling at social events.

Carrie stood up and gave a slight nod as she said,

“Mr. Watson, it’s an honor to meet you.”

Kendall’s eyes scanned her, and a flicker of warmth softened his usually stern expression. He casually asked,

“Do you also play the piano?”

He found himself with a favorable first impression of Carrie. She was respectful, not overly eager to impress—solid, like a tree that stood firm through the seasons.

Arion immediately stepped forward, draping an arm around Carrie’s shoulders as he made the introduction.

“Mr. Watson, this is my cousin, Carrie Campbell.”

Kendall lowered himself onto the sofa, his gaze drifting to the familiar gesture. A slight furrow appeared between his brows.

“Your cousin?”

gⱯlnσν𝓮ℓs．c𝗈𝗺, a world of tales

He had met many of the Morrison family’s female relatives, but hearing the word “cousin” only made him think of the current trend of labeling a “special friend” in ambiguous terms.

The earlier rumors about Carrie resurfaced in Kendall’s mind, and he found himself studying her with an intensity he hadn’t intended. Before he could process his thoughts any further, Arion’s next words left him completely caught off guard.

Without noticing Kendall’s odd reaction, Arion grinned and explained,

“She’s my great-uncle’s granddaughter. We only found her recently.”

Kendall stared at Arion, unable to process the information. His voice trembled ever so slightly.

“Your… great-uncle? Jo… Josh…”

He tried, but the name wouldn’t come out. It took several attempts.

Arion, fully aware of the shock Kendall was experiencing, couldn’t help but recall the exact moment when he first discovered Carrie was his cousin.

He nodded firmly.

“Exactly. My great-uncle, Josh Morrison.”

Kendall’s gaze shifted to Carrie, his eyes shimmering with what could have been tears.

It was as if he wasn’t seeing Carrie at all, but rather searching for a fleeting trace of Josh in her.

Josh and Kendall had shared a deep bond of friendship. He knew the real reasons Josh had left the Morrison family to pursue love, and while he stood by his friend’s decision, there was always a lingering sorrow that such an extraordinary talent had vanished from their lives.
