Heart Hunting novel Chapter 80

The night is bright. The neon lights up the city, and kicks off the nightlife of people in the urban.

In Quinn Residence.

The floating light is like the surging water, rippling in the dim private box.

"Wow, What's wrong with our Mr. Murphy today? He has been drinking so much alone before I come here?" Noel pushes the door and comes in. A strong smell of beer immediately comes to him. He glances at the empty bottles on the table.

Kenny leans on the sofa, and his hand still holds a glass of beer. The golden liquor reflects different colors by the spotlight. He glances at Noel lightly, then takes out a new glass and pours one for him. "You're late, drink it!"

He has been in a bad mood all day today. The resentment keeps in his chest. He thinks if he doesn't vent his anger, he will suffocate to death because of that before tomorrow.

Noel sits down, and quickly pours himself a glass of beer. He toasts, "this is for my punishment."

Kenny also takes a drink, and asks, "do you know what Ives has been up to lately? I called him out, but he refused.

"Beats me. You know him, a writer, is always mysterious." Noel answers, pouring Kenny a drink by the way.

"So, what's the matter? You don't drink so much alcohol in usual." They have known each other since they were little kids, and they have already got a clear picture of each other's character.

Kenny's face is gloomy. He doesn't speak for a long while, just keeps drinking.

Noel is outgoing, and he can rarely be quiet. A few minutes later, he can't stand the silence any more. "Kenny Murphy, I've made my time to drink with you. Are you going to do this to me all night?"

Kenny then asks calmly, "what do you want to know?"

"There are only two situations for men to drink, one is for love, and the other is for work. Since your business goes so smoothly, then there is only the first possibility left!" Noel raises his eyebrows and smiles, "did you quarrel with my goddess?"

Kenny frowns, and he is still reluctant to talk about that.

But his expression has already told Noel that he is right.

"Or...are you dumped by my goddess?" Noel laughs, "does it mean that I have a chance now?"

He's right. Kenny is really angry because of Poppy, but that doesn't mean Noel get a chance now. Kenny glares at him, "Noel, you're so cheeky!"

Noel drinks the alcohol and lightly smashes his fist on Kenny's shoulder. "With our friendship, what can't I say?"

Kenny snorts coldly and says confidently, "she won't like you."

She was born for the sake of benefits. At present, Kenny hasn't seen the value of noel to her.

Noel gets frustrated. "Don't be so mean. With my charm, I don't believe that I can't get her heart."

Kenny disdains, "your charm? Do you mean the smell of Cologne all over your body? "

Kenny most dislikes the strong perfume smell of Noel. He's not a woman, why does he always wear perfume?

"You don't understand. Just like you wear a dark suit all day, which is like that you are going to a funeral. These are our preference."

He turns the topic back to Poppy.

"Tell me about it, what happened to you?" Noel is so curious about the matter with them. Especially things about Poppy, he is more interested in it.

"That goblin!" Speaking of Poppy, Kenny can't control his anger. "Her heart is made of ice, it can't be warm up."

It's very appropriate to say that he is too passionate to someone cold. He would rather lose money to help her revenge the Greens. What about her? She is so ungrateful that he can't imagine how cruel she is!

"Ice?" Noel ponders and nods, "she is really cool, so what?"

Noel doesn't know what happened. He is more confused after Kenny said that. Kenny glances at him and thinks their minds are on different channels.

"Forget it, just drink with me in peace!" Anyway, he doesn't want to talk about it much. He should be a little wary of this man.

"Oh no, it's just the beginning." Noel doesn't agree. After he tried so hard to get Kenny start to talk about it, he doesn't want to give up so easily. "Well, did you get her angry? Wait, looks like it's you who is pissed out."

Kenny looks at him coldly. "Are women all like that?"

"What?" Noel, as a listener, feels extremely painful. Every word Kenny says, is totally not related with the previous.

"The more you do, the less she will appreciate it." Kenny leans back on the sofa and looks up at the crystal chandelier in the ceiling. The enchanting bright orange light seems to make him more drunk.

Noel finally understand this sentence. He responds after thinking, "how much did you do for her?"

He looks at Kenny and adds, "you give her your money? Or... your sperm?"

Kenny glares at him with disdainful. "I'm a man with a brain." Although he does want to do that, unfortunately, that little goblin is too cunning.

Noel shakes his head. And after another glass of liquor, he says, "Kenny Murphy, don't pretend to be a gentleman in the presence of me."

Kenny feels speechless for him.

Noel continues, "we are both men, I know you. Do you think you are having no feeling for a beauty?"

"You should be here to listen to me, not to analyse me." Kenny frowns and drinks the beer in annoyance.

"Kenny Murphy, you don't even say anything. After talking with you for such a long time, what I only know is that Poppy makes you angry. As for the reason and what happened to you, I don't know anything at all. So I can only guess, OK?" Noel also gets depressed. Why is Kenny such a man?

But Kenny doesn't tell him anything about it on purpose, so that Noel wouldn't take the opportunity to get closed to Poppy. "I've asked you, is all woman like that? No matter how much you do for her, she won't appreciate it?"

"It depends. Maybe it's because she doesn't understand why you did it, or it may also because you've done it in a wrong way. So just tell me about it, what is it?" Noel has been trying hard to figure the thing out, but Kenny just doesn't talk about it.

"I don't think I did anything wrong with either of those two points." Kenny doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong.

"Forget it. Now I don't care if you want to talk about it." Noel is so tired of listening to him. He doesn't even know what Kenny is talking about.

Kenny smiles. "So, you'd better drink with me in peace!" He moves the glass to Noel.

"Just one more thing, my goddess hasn't promised to be with you, has she?" Noel is curious. When on the yacht, Poppy has clearly denied the relationship between she and Kenny, but why is their behavior so close? Are they flirting with each other?

"Let the sleeping dog lie. No matter whether we are together or not, you have no chance." Kenny hits Noel's confidence again and again, which makes Noel speechless.

"I think you haven't conquered her yet, but she did. Ha-ha, she deserves to be my goddess!" Noel deliberately pisses him off in return.

Kenny doesn't speak. He drinks the beer in silence. Soon, a bottle of liquor is drank up by him, and he opens another bottle.
