Chapter 315
The man’s voice was mature, with an indescribable old–school vibe. His dark eyes focused on Kenneth, giving him an once- over. “Are your wounds all healed?”
“Yeah,” Kenneth replied. Looking into the man’s deep, bottomless eyes, he realized the old Noah was back. He hadn’t been with this version of Noah for so long that he’d almost forgotten what he was usually like.
Ophelia also glanced at Noah. Though both men were similar in height and exuded authority, they were completely different types.
Kenneth had a highborn aloofness, giving off the impression that he looked down on the world, while Noah had an overly mature and aged aura. She felt like this version of Noah was somewhat unfamiliar.
Noah’s eyes shifted to Ophelia. “Hello, Kenneth’s beloved friend, The way he greeted and named her was similar to when they first met, but his eyes now showed a cold detachment, losing the previous warmth.
Ophelia gave a slight nod and handed the packed things to Melanie and Bighost at the door. She turned around, observing the newly changed Noah She wondered if he had really forgotten everything from the past few months.
Noah’s face was even blanker than Kenneth’s. There was nothing to be inferred from it.
“I’m here to take you to Waston.”
Ophelia raised an eyebrow as she recalled what Victor mentioned earlier when he visited. Because of their helping the special police capture the drug dealers, the president wanted to personally meet them to express gratitude.
Kenneth glanced at Ophelia, his eyes asking for her opinion.
Noah also turned his head to look at her.
The two men were both looking at her, as if waiting for her decision.
Being asked for a personal meeting by the president wasn’t something an ordinary citizen could refuse. She nodded slightly. Leaving the hospital, Melanie and Bighost took the other guild members back to Milagia, while Ray and Eric went with them to Waston. Waston was some distance away from Jenton, and flying would be more convenient.
At the airport, a private jet was already prepared. The journey to Waston was quiet, with no noise in the cabin.
Ophelia glanced past Kenneth, looking at the seat beside her. Since boarding the plane, Noah had been silent, engrossed in his magazine the entire time.
This reminded her of when they flew back to Dellanex from Milagia, with Noah being noisy the entire time, trying all the airplane meals and watching loud movies behind them. Before getting off the plane, he even packed up two airline meals to take away.
Thinking about how Noah was before, and seeing him now, she found that this was what Noah was like before losing his memory. If it weren’t for his presence, he was so quiet it was as if he didn’t exist.
Kenneth turned his head and gently moved the head of Ophelia to face him, with a frown on his brow. “What are you looking at?” His voice was husky as he adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, examining her.
After saying that, Noah closed his magazine and looked over toward the voice. For a moment, both powerful men on the plane had their eyes on her at the same time.
Ophelia was speechless. “Nothing. I wasn’t looking at anything,” She blinked twice quickly, her eyebrows curving as she smiled at Kenneth.

Noah silently looked away and glanced at his watch to check theme. With two hours left, he crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and leaned back in his seat, planning to nap.
“Why do you keep watching him?” Kenneth’s tone had a hint of displeasure as he quickly removed his large hand from her
head.
Sensing his change in mood next to her, Ophelia immediately turned all her attention to him. “No, I’m just curious, that’s all,” She was really curious that why a person would have such different personalities.
She quietly asked into Kenneth’s shoulder, “Kenneth, what if you forget about me someday?”
Kenneth lowered his gaze, his deep eyes intently fixed on her pure, innocent eyes. “Never.”
Ophelia was surprised that Kenneth was so sure about it. She asked, “What if?”
Kenneth lifted her chin. “Then I’ll fall in lo”
her lips.
with you all over again,” With that, he lowered his eyes and pressed a kiss on
Noah adjusted his sitting position. He opened his eyes for a quick glance, and his usually expressionless face showed a sudden crease on his forehead. There was a feeling that couldn’t be explained.
The plane landed in Waston, and the meeting was set for the next morning. Ophelia and Kenneth stayed the night here.
The next morning, a grand convoy awaited downstairs. Noah personally came to pick them up, and the car went straight to the Presidential Residence.
An hour later, the convoy stopped in front of a garden that offered great privacy.
The Presidential Residence’s exterior was grand and impressive, featuring Heloria–style architecture. Upon entering, security checks were required, and Caleb and Eric stopped at the entrance.
The butler greeted them respectfully at the door. Ophelia had seen this butler before at the Heloria Trade Summit, and he nodded to her slightly when he saw her.
“Mr. Sinclair, Ms. Spencer, the president is currently busy with the head of the military district. You can take a tour first. This way, please.”
“The head of the military district is also here?” Noah asked.
The butler nodded.
“Sorry, I didn’t know,” Noah apologized to Kenneth. He was aware that Kenneth and Victor never got along.
“It’s fine,” Kenneth replied, his eyes showing no other emotion. Noah was surprised by this response. He didn’t know Kenneth had become so easygoing.
As soon as they entered, they saw an artificial waterfall. The hallway inside the house was decorated with several calligraphy paintings. On the way towards the main hall, there were small indoor fountains on either side.
The main hall was specifically used for hosting foreign guests. People often saw the backdrop for these meetings in the news, with flags and photos of friendly nations‘ leaders on the wall.
Next to it was a large conference room where many important decisions had been made. The butler led the three to the backyard, which featured a lake with open grassy fields on both sides.
There were two modern–style gazebos, one in the middle of the lake and another on the shore, surrounded by a circle of weeping cedars that remained green all year round. Summer was when they were at their fullest.
Sitting in the gazebo and enjoying the cool breeze over the lake with a cup of coffee in this season was quite relaxing.

The butler arranged for some coffee and snacks, saying, “Why not take a break here? The president should be done soon.
Kenneth thought it was perfect. He didn’t want to run into Victor later.
“You go ahead and take care of your business,” Noah instructed.
The butler nodded and quietly stepped aside.
However, security at the mansion was tight, with a guard stationell every few meters.
Ophelia glanced at the beautifully arranged coffee treats, and Kenneth had already placed them in front of her. She didn’t hesitate and picked up a piece, popping it into her mouth.
“Are you getting used to it?” Kenneth asked Noah. After all, a lot had changed in the past five years. Noah said he couldn’t remember what happened during that time, so he might need some time to adjust.
“I’m fine,” Noah replied briefly, taking a sip of his coffee. “After meeting the president, I’ll join you for a trip to Dellanex.”
