Since Rachel's return, he had asked her for useful information whenever they met.
It was as if he treated Rachel as a tool for use.
"Commander, I've heard everything.
"Congratulations on finally getting together with Willow."
With a big smile, Rachel raised her coffee cup at Sean.
However, the smile on her lips was slightly bitter.
Sean nodded slightly and sighed to himself.
He knew nothing about relationships, but that did not mean he did not feel Rachel's feelings for him.
Besides, the night Sean was kicked out of the Quinn family, Rachel went to Sean's place and confessed her feelings for him.
Her love for Sean was apparent in every word.
Sean was not an idiot. How could he not sense it?
However, he only had eyes for Willow, who had taken care of him.
"Thank you."
Sean thanked her softly.
"You've recovered.
"Have you thought about when you're going back?
"I think I can be of some help to you."
Rachel paused for a few seconds before asking the question.
Sean twiddled his fingers over the coffee cup as he considered the question.
He was going back, of course.
It was not like him to abandon revenge.
Blaze gave him so much trouble and killed so many of his comrades.
It was something no man could swallow.
Blood debts must be paid in blood.
"After I've taken care of everything in River City, I'll start preparing for that.
"Once I got back what I've lost, you can return to be an intelligence agent."
Sean spun his coffee cup and looked at Rachel as he spoke earnestly.
"Okay!"
Rachel nodded earnestly.
She was willing to re-enlist if Sean returned.
Not only her but countless others who had applied for discharge in the past two years would re-enlist in a heartbeat if they heard of Sean's return.
"I've come to say goodbye to you today.
"I want to travel and relax."
Rachel was silent for a moment before chuckling suddenly.
"Okay."
Sean nodded and replied.
"Commander, do you have anything... Do you have any orders for me?"
Rachel looked at the man she had liked for years and felt terrible.
"Be safe."
Sean moved his mouth and only said two words in the end.
"Roger!"
Rachel rose slowly with tears flickering gently in her eyes.
Sean and Willow had gotten together.
Willow even fell out with the Quinn family for Sean.
It never occurred to Rachel that the man she had fancied for years was her best friend's fiancé.
It was something she could not accept but had to.
The only thing she could do was silently give them their blessing and choose to leave.
