    **TITLE: Beseeched 336**


    **CONTENT: Chapter 336 Joe Kerrigan**


    “Are we dining here, or shall we return?” Jonathan’s voice cut through the air, unmistakably assertive.


    This was his signature style—never one to inquire about preferences, but rather to dictate the options.


    Dawn’s gaze lingered on the cake, her lips pressed into a thin line. “Honestly, it looks kinda gross. I’m not interested.”


    Jonathan didn’t press the issue. His face remained a mask of stoicism. “Let’s head back, then. The wind is picking up.”


    He could sense her hesitation, the internal struggle brewing within her.


    Before she could voice her dissent, he leaned in slightly, lowering his voice to a conspiratorial whisper. “There’s an event tomorrow. You shoulde with me.”


    Dawn’s response was abruptly stifled.


    It took her a moment to process what he had just suggested. After all this time living with Jonathan, constantly engaged in a silent war of wills in her mind, she found herself surprised by the thought. Attending this seemingly random eventpletely detached from their usual business dealings—might actually be a wise choice.


    The event was a physics academic conference, a gathering Jonathan had been invited to because of hispany’s involvement in the field.


    There was no expectation to dress extravagantly for such an asion, and the atmosphere was devoid of the cutthroat, money-obsessed vibe typical of business functions.


    Dawn chose a suit that boasted a subtle design around the waist, entuating her figure in a way that felt both confident andfortable.


    As they entered side by side, she noticed the way many attendees greeted them with warm smiles.


    With a teasing lilt in her voice, she remarked, “I had no idea you were such a big deal in the academic circles too, Mr. Curran.”


    And that wasn’t all.


    He also had a knack for photography.


    When she had married Ethan, Jonathan had nearly been their wedding photographer.


    With one hand casually tucked into his suit pants pocket, he adjusted his stride to match hers, deliberately taking smaller steps.


    He turned his head slightly, his voice dropping to a softer tone. “Most of the people here have made significant contributions to society. If there’s anyone you’d like to connect with, I can introduce you.”


    “Why would I want to meet them?” she challenged, raising an eyebrow.


    “More connections, more opportunities.”


    “Oh.”


    The world of physics felt distant and abstract to her. What opportunities could it possibly offer? Learn something useful, only to turn it into a crime?


    She fell silent, keenly aware that they were standing just a tad too close forfort. With a subtle shift, she edged away half a step.


    Jonathan noticed the slight movement, and for a moment, his eyes dimmed, a flicker of something unreadable passing through them.


    The sign-in area was bustling yet orderly, the crowd infused with the serious, intellectual energy of academia.


    “Mr. Curran.”


    A voice broke through the murmur, and they turned to see a man approaching with a friendly smile.


    Dawn lifted her gaze, taken aback.


    The man’s sideburns had turned gray, lending him an air of sophistication and poise, but he clearly belonged to an older generation. Yet, he addressed Jonathan as “Mr. Curran”?


    Jonathan’s demeanor softened as he extended his hand.


    “Professor Kerrigan.”


    “No need for formalities, just call me Joe.”


    Joe’s smile widened, revealing a warmth that crinkled the skin around his eyes. “Last time we crossed paths was in Candavia… hard to believe it’s been two years. I didn’t expect to see you here in Crestavia—didn’t even know you’d be attending today.”


    Typically, Jonathan would have brushed off such small talk, dismissing it as unnecessary.


    But today was different.


    He engaged, responding earnestly, “Indeed, Joe. Send me your schedule. I’d like to treat you to a meal.”


    Dawn felt her jaw drop in disbelief.


    Jonathan… actually making conversation?


    She stared at him, her eyes wide, as if she had just spotted a ghost.


    Only then did Joe’s gaze flicker to her, curiosity etched on his face. “And who might this be?”


    Fearing that Jonathan might inadvertently reveal too much, Dawn stepped forward, offering a polite smile. “Hello, I’m Dawn Porter.”


    “Ah, a pleasure to meet you.”


    Joe’s eyes darted between them, and a knowing smile crept onto his face.


    He had never known Jonathan to have a woman by his side like this. She must be someone significant in his life.


    At that moment, a staff member approached, handing them a pen.


    Dawn hadn’t intended to sign in, but the two men beside her had already taken their pens, prompting her to nce at the sign-in sheet. Her eyes zeroed in on the name “Joe Kerrigan,” and her heart raced.


    No way.


    Him?


    For a fleeting two seconds, she forgot to breathe.


    A gentle nudge on her arm snapped her back to reality. She forced a smile, returning the pen to the staff member.


    She cast onest nce at the name.


    That handwriting… it was unmistakably identical!


    Jonathan, noticing her sudden change in demeanor, leaned closer, concerncing his voice. “What’s wrong?”


    Dawn shook her head, her mind racing. “I’ll exinter.”


    She was at a loss for how to articte her thoughts.


    Joe Kerrigan—a physicist.


    By all ounts, there should have been no connection between them.


    Yet, Dawn had always possessed a remarkable memory. She had scrutinized that handwriting countless times after receiving the two notes. There was no room for doubt.


    Her palms grew mmy, and her thoughts spiraled into chaos.


    As they entered the venue and took their seats, she barely registered when Jonathan handed her a bottle of water. Her focus remained locked on the front of the room, where Joe sat in the center of the first row—the prime guest seat.


    In a hushed whisper, she asked, “When do you n on taking Joe out to eat?”


    “Hmm?”


    Jonathan, caught off guard by the unexpected question, paused for a moment before responding, “Tomorrow.”


    “I’ming too.”


    “You?”Conclusion
