Chapter 100
Meanwhile, Lily was also practicing shooting at Quinn Manor. The sound of gunfire echoed from the shooting range, ringing through the villa. She hadn't even bothered with a suppressor so the entire villa could hear the gunshots.
Jonah was playing a game in his bedroom. He was in a high-level match, but as usual, he was getting wrecked. He lost every round and was reported for feeding.
He threw his phone down in frustration, scratching his head. "Damn it, when will this ever end?"
He stormed into the shooting room, but when he saw that it was Lily practicing, he held back his anger.
"Jonah, do you want to give it a try?" Lily asked with a smile. After taking all that frustration out on the target, she felt a lot better.
Jonah glanced at the target. Aside from the bullseye, the rest of the target was riddled with holes. Her shooting skills needed some work!
But he didn't want to hurt her feelings, so he said, "Some of those shots were right near the bullseye. Your aim's definitely getting better."
Lily pouted and whined, "No matter how much I practice, I can't shoot as well as you. Could you teach me again, hand by hand?"
She loved the intimacy of having Jonah hold her while teaching her to shoot. Jonah also enjoyed her dependence on him. He immediately pulled her close, guiding her hand as she took a shot.
It was a bullseye!
"Wow, Jonah, you're amazing!"
Lily turned around, wrapping her arms around his neck and looking at him with affection as if they were a couple.
Jonah casually pulled her arms down and asked, "Did you contact Scarlett today?"
Lily's smile faltered for a moment. She quickly tilted her head, looking a bit aggrieved. "I did, but it seems like she blocked all my contact info."
Jonah's expression darkened. He didn't want to make himself looke pathetic by trying to contact Scarlett, so he asked Lily to do it. But he hadn't expected Scarlett to cut him off so decisively.
Feeling a bit down, he picked up the gun and loaded it, firing a few shots, each one hitting the bullseye.
"Oh my god! Jonah, you're amazing!" Lily exclaimed, her eyes shining with admiration.
But despite his skill, Jonah seemed disheartened. "Back then, Scarlett wanted to learn how to shoot, but I refused her, telling her that someone from the countryside wouldn't understand.
"If she had just asked me, maybe even given me a little charm, I would've taught
her. Why couldn't she be more like you-cute and eager?"
As he spoke, he reloaded and fired
again, followed by eight more shots. The last two shots missed the target. Lily's heart tightened as she sensed his lingering attachment to Scarlett.
Was bloodline really that big of a deal?
Scarlett had treated him that way, and yet he still couldn't forget her.
"Jonah, I'll always be here for you. I'll never leave you." Lily wrapped her arms around him from behind, her voice soft and sweet, but her eyes were filled with resentment.noveldrama
Jonah sighed. "You don't understand. She's from the Quinn family, with the blood of the Quinn family running through her. With her talent... she must have a natural gift for shooting."
At the time, he hadn't taught her out of selfishness. After all, he was the worst shot among the seven brothers.
He feared that if Scarlett had the same natural talent, she would surpass him, and that would truly be.
The Quinn family's ancestors were famous for their achievements. Their grandfather was a sharpshooter in his youth and held a high military position.
In their generation, the family's police badge had been passed to the fourth brother. He was the most gifted in shooting and martial arts among the seven brothers.
Jonah had talent, but when compared to his brothers, he was the least skilled of them all.
