Obedience No More He's the One I Deserved novel Chapter 337

Dawn turned to Jonathan. He was looking at her with suspicion. She acted casual, raising an eyebrow. "What? I can't? I have nothing to do, and I won't get in the way."

Jonathan stared at her for a moment, but didn't refuse.

After the conference ended, Joe and Jonathan confirmed the time.

Before they could say goodbye, Jonathan was called away, leaving only Joe and Dawn by the entrance.

His eyes were gentle, like a kind elder.

"Ms. Porter, you seem curious about me."

Dawn had already calmed down. Her gaze flickered slightly, but her smile remained natural. "I am, actually. When I was little, I think I saw a photo of Professor Kerrigan at home."

"Oh?"

Joe was taken aback. "You—"

Dawn didn't show any emotion. "My mom's name is Vera Swanson. Maybe you knew her."

"Vera Swanson ... "

Joe's look turned complicated, hard to describe.

There was some regret in his eyes, something old and distant. He paused for a while, then said in an awkward tone, "Yes, I knew your mom. She was amazing. I can't believe you've grown up so much ... "

His words were rushed, thick with emotion.

Joe checked his watch. "Sorry, Dawn, I have another meeting to get to. Let's talk another time."

Dawn nodded and stepped aside.

Right after he left, Jonathan came back.

"What did you guys talk about?"

"Nothing."

Dawn looked away. Thinking about how Joe had briefly lost his composure when getting into the car, her bad mood finally lifted a little.

This Joe ...

Maybe he was a breakthrough.

Dawn didn't talk much with Jonathan. It wasn't until the next day, during a chat with Victor, that she learned Jonathan had known Joe for many years.

"When the company was just starting out, it needed expertise in physics. So Mr. Curran hired Professor Kerrigan as a consultant. Over time, they got along pretty well."

Dawn understood. "A friendship across generations."

"I guess."

Victor wasn't sure. Strictly speaking, besides the group of friends he grew up with, Jonathan didn't have close relationships with anyone.

Dawn nodded thoughtfully, then asked more about Joe.

From yesterday's reaction, he really did know her mother.
