Chapter 2893 - 83: Jealousy Surges Like the Sea
Jennifer Connor knew that addressing someone this way was a form of politeness, but she hoped the other person would call her by her name.
With a gentle tone, Jennifer Connor softly furrowed her brows and said, "My name is Jennifer Connor. You can call me Connor, or even Little Connor."
Harrison Lucas was quite straightforward in his thoughts and couldn’t fully grasp Miss Connor’s affection for her. He nodded and said, "Miss Connor, are you willing to accept my invitation?"
Seeing the other person’s already lightly furrowed brow furrow even tighter, Harrison thoughtfully added, "Of course, if you’re unwilling, you can refuse directly, it doesn’t matter."
"I am willing, of course, I am willing." Before Harrison could finish speaking, Jennifer Connor had already stood up and grabbed Harrison’s hand.
Harrison: "???" How is this completely different from the script she expected? How did the girl who rejected others a dozen times agree like this?
Harrison felt that the already cold gaze behind her turned even colder.
She quickly withdrew her hand: "Miss Connor, can we just dance, maybe not hold hands..."
Jennifer Connor, however, held Harrison’s hand even tighter: "How can you dance without holding hands? Let’s go over there... We can chat while dancing, Miss Lucas... Hmm, it seems a bit too formal to call you that, maybe I’ll call you Archie, how about that."
Archie...
Harrison felt her ears turning a bit red, not from shyness, but from urgency.
She felt like Jennifer Connor’s voice was not small, and many people around were watching them. She wondered if the big young master had heard that ’Archie’ just now.
Harrison: "Miss Connor, I..."
Jennifer Connor: "I already asked you to call me Connor. You are Major General Lucas’s adjutant. You look so young. How have you already reached the position of adjutant... Did you graduate from an orthodox military school? Also from the Royal Military Academy, do you know my brother? He’s also a student at the Military Academy, previously in..."
Jennifer Connor was very warm, a trait she usually reserved for acquaintances.
The young girl wanted to learn more about Harrison, leading her onto the dance floor, dancing one Waltz after another, giving Harrison no chance to refuse.
Although Harrison’s true gender was female, her mindset was no different from a straightforward man.
When it came to rejecting girls, she had no idea how to articulate it.
Furthermore, this was Commander Nelson’s order, and on the other hand, Jennifer was Commander Connor’s granddaughter, which made it even harder for her to say anything.
Thus, Harrison was held by Jennifer Connor, accompanying her in dance after dance, and had almost been asked about every ancestor from eighteen generations by Jennifer Connor. In the eyes of others, their actions seemed like they had found the perfect match.
Commander Nelson watched from the side, nodding repeatedly, praising Harrison for her spirit.
At that moment, a cold, discordant voice suddenly came from behind Harrison and Jennifer Connor, interrupting their shared dance.
"Harrison—"
A tall, slender man had somehow walked to the edge of the dance floor, standing there, glaring coldly at his ’unruly little boyfriend.’
When Harrison saw Ben Lucas arrive, she immediately let go of the hand that Jennifer Connor had actively grabbed, reacting as if a mouse had seen a cat.
"Major General." Harrison broke free from Jennifer Connor, and regardless of the Waltz still playing, she immediately stood up straight.
Ben Lucas glanced at her coldly, his voice carrying a bone-chilling tone, "Have you danced enough?"
