Keira couldn't help but laugh. "His condition is incurable—how could his offspring possibly be connected to me?"
Sean spoke up, "I overheard him say once that he met a woman in Clance years ago. There's a chance he left a child behind."
Sean chuckled. "I suspect that Monbatten's ongoing issues with having heirs may be tied to that woman."
Keira blinked in confusion. "What makes you think that?"
Erin's ears perked up. This was juicy gossip—she had to hear this!
Jenkins and Erin exchanged a quick glance before both of them subtly shuffled closer, inching towards Sean and Keira, eager to eavesdrop.
But then Sean's cold voice cut through the air. "Do you two need to press your ears to my mouth?"
Erin immediately looked up at him, a cheeky smile playing on her lips. "Can we?"
Sean's gaze turned icy. "Sure... if you want to keep your ears."
Erin froze.
This guy hadn't changed a bit since childhood.
