Drowning In His Deep Love (Re-edited) novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 An Interesting Kid

Jonathan had something to do so he came to the Southern Mountain Community.

William took Vincent outside.

Alexander and Jonathan went to the study. "Jonathan, among these newcomers, is there anyone that satisfies you?"

Jonathan shook his head and said, "Young people nowadays are getting worse. Their physical quality is too bad. What I can promise is that I will do my best."

"This is not you, Jonathan." Alexander lit a cigarette and added, "How long have you been training that kid?"

"Three months." Jonathan said with three fingers extended. When speaking of Vincent, his face was full of smiles, and he was very proud. "This kid is more talented than you used to be. He heard that you are very powerful, so he badgered to take him out to see you."

The kid could shoot at a 8 ring target in three months.

He was just only four or five years old.

Alexander was a little shocked. "What is this kid best at?"

Jonathan shook his head.

Alexander frowned. He didn't have anything that he was good at?

Before Alexander could speak a word, Jonathan said with a smile, "Vincent shows extremely high talent in every sport. He has already caught up to two of your records that you set on Plum Island, and he is not far away from breaking the records."

Plum Island was the headquarters and also a training base of Silhouette.

Such a gifted child was one in a million. No wonder Jonathan would wear such a happy face when speaking of the kid.

"Have you checked the background of the child?" Alexander was a little worried. "Who are the parents of him?"

Jonathan had a grandson before but he died in an accident a year ago. This had always been the knot in Jonathan's heart.

Vincent was about the same age as Jonathan's grandson. Alexander was worried that Vincent was abducted because of his love for his grandson.

Upon hearing what he said, Jonathan became unhappy, and grunted like a grumpy old man. "Why? Are you still worried that he was abducted? I've checked Vincent's background and he is an orphan without parents. Anyways, I will keep the child with me. Have it your way."

Alexander did not know whether to laugh or cry when he looked at Jonathan, who was putting on a show of bad temper. He considered Jonathan as his teacher, so Alexander had always respected him.

In the hall...

Vincent was like a little adult, sitting with his back straight and his legs dangling idly. His small face was round and delicate.

William looked at him and had a strong desire to pinch his face.

"Little ki... Vincent, right? come here and eat bananas." William wanted to call him "little kid", and immediately changed his words when it rose to his lips. The kid was adorably fierce.

Vincent looked at William with his arms crossed over the chest, and said in an adult tone, "you are No. 2?"

William's face darkened because it had been a long time since someone called him that.

Easton who was sitting on the side couldn't help laughing.

No one had called him that nickname for a long time.

This was how William got his nickname. William's ranking on Plum Island had always been below Alexander. He was always ranking the second, so he got the nickname "No. 2".

William glared at Easton, then turned his head and smiled at Vincent, "Do you really admire me? Don't be too obsessed with me, I am just..."

Vincent pouted and said, "You have got a good attitude. You have never won the champion but you can still be so narcissistic."

William was speechless.

"Hey, kid, you can't break my heart. You are just a kid knowing nothing. I want to win my boss, but I am not strong enough." William clutched his chest with a heartbroken expression and continued, "If you want to win my boss, wait for another ten years."

Vincent ignored him.

William smiled, came forward and asked, "Were you abducted by Jonathan? What about your parents? Where is your home? How about I take you to find your parents?"

William thought in his mind that normally when a child heard that he would look for his mom and dad, he would be very excited.

But he forgot that a kid who can shoot at the a 8-rings target and dared to challenge Alexander couldn't be a normal kid.

"Huh! I'm not a three-year-old kid, I'm four and a half years old."

Vincent turned his head, jumped off the chair, and walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back.

Coaxing him like a three-year-old kid?

William almost burst into laughter. "What do you mean by grunting?"

And then he asked Easton next to him, "Do the kids now have got quite a personality?"

Alexander and Jonathan came downstairs and didn't see Vincent. Jonathan became anxious, and asked William, "Where is Vincent?"

"He went out. That kid is young but speaks to me quite shortly. He is adorable, but the way he talks is not cute at all." William expressed his opinion.

Jonathan asked, "Did you say anything to him?"

William was at a loss and replied, "No, I just said that I would take him to find his parents."

"That's too bad." Jonathan clapped his fists and said, "How can you bring this up?"

"What's wrong?" William looked puzzled.

The Southern Mountain Community was very large. Vincent walked around alone and found a stone to sit down by the artificial lake.

He was not happy. He often heard his friends on the island asking him about his parents.

But he had never seen his parents since he was born.

He grew up in an orphanage, and the head of the orphanage always bullied him, so he ran out, met Jonathan, and was taken back to Plum Island.

Vincent never saw his parents, but he was very eager to see them, but he never showed it.

When Alexander found Vincent, he was sitting on a rock hugging his knees under the street lamp. His back looked small.

For some reason, Alexander's heart suddenly shrank.

Even if Vincent provoked him in an adult's tone, he was just a child.

"Not happy? "Alexander walked over and sat down next to Vincent.

Vincent's face was bulging, with the word 'unhappy' shown all over his face. He turned his back.

Alexander was amused by Vincent's expression. He put his hands on Vincent's shoulder and said, "Did you cry?"
