A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 348 How Arthur Morgan does things

After reading those documents overnight, Arthur didn't sleep too long and got up early to tidy up.

After seeing that Hosea didn't get up just like he said, Arthur didn't call him.

"Good morning, Arthur."

When I came back late last night, only Hosea was waiting for Arthur in the office. Sean went to bed early. Now that he met Sean, Arthur asked with a smile:

"Are you up early? Have something to do?"

"No, I'm used to it. I go to bed early and get up early now."

Arthur patted Sean on the shoulder and said:
"In that case, you will go out with me later. Have you had breakfast?"

"Going."

"Then let's go together."

On the way, Arthur noticed that Sean seemed to be much quieter than before. In the past, the distance from the third floor to the restaurant on the second floor would have been enough for Sean to chatter about what happened during Arthur's absence. Tell me everything, whether it is something Arthur knows or something Arthur doesn't know.

When they sat down in the restaurant, Sean was still quiet, so Arthur decided to ask.

After considering his words, Arthur said:

"Sean, do you have something to tell me?"

"Huh? I haven't gambled anymore." Sean thought that Arthur thought he was gambling again, so he quickly explained.

Arthur shook his head and said:
"You're too quiet, isn't that like you?"

"It's nothing, after all, I've grown too, right?" Sean said reluctantly.

Arthur didn't believe Sean's statement, so he continued to ask:
"You must be hiding something from me, please tell me honestly."

Sean saw that Arthur was about to ask the question, and he could only say with a somewhat twitchy expression:
"How should I put it... Arthur, you came back from Rhodes Town, so have you seen Karen?"

Karen?When he went to see Susan, Karen was also there. Arthur did see him, but it seemed normal?

"I've seen it. What's wrong Karen? Can't you be more direct when you speak? Why are you just twisting a towel? Let me ask you, can you squeeze it out a little?" Arthur frowned and said.

In response to Arthur's urging and repeated questioning, Sean had already drank all the water in the water glass in front of him, and now he was still drinking from the empty glass.

"There's no water in the glass, Sean, tell me quickly."

"Okay, okay, I'm quite confused about this matter..." Putting down the empty water glass, Sean finally took a deep breath and said:
"Karen is pregnant."

"Huh? Yours?"

Hearing this news, to be honest, Arthur was a little stunned. At that time, he only thought that Karen drank too much beer in the tavern?

"...Yes." Sean confirmed in a low voice.

Arthur looked at Sean's appearance and said somewhat incomprehensively:
"Isn't this a good thing? When are you going to get married?"

When Sean was asked this question, his tone became weaker and he said:

"I, I'm not sure I'll be a good father, I'm not ready..."

"Sean, Sean, you will never really be ready for things like getting married and having children. All you can do now is to gather your courage and then plunge in. Trust me, the boat will straighten out when it reaches the bridge." Arthur smiled encouragingly.Probably, everyone who is a father will experience this emotion.

"I'm not ready, I can't, Arthur."

Unlike Sean who showed ease when courting a girl, the man in front of him who knew that he was about to become a father seemed extremely panicked.

"If you love her, you can do it, Sean."

"Let me think about it again, think about it again, I was called to Saint Denis by Hosea. During this time, I have been thinking about what should I do. Arthur, I will think of my father, you know? I Not sure I could do better than him, even though he's an asshole."

Seeing that Sean seemed to be thinking a lot by himself, Arthur smiled and divided the food on the plate, and said after thinking about it:

"On that note, Sean, trust me, you're definitely a jerk too, but that doesn't stop you from being a father. At least, you have a great relationship with little Jack, right? Most people are first-time fathers. , have some confidence in yourself, this is a responsibility you have to face, now, quickly pick up your knife and fork, finish eating quickly, we should go out to do errands."

After figuring out why Sean was abnormal, Arthur finally felt relieved. Originally, he thought Sean had done something else.

Soon, the two of them finished the food in front of them, left the hotel, hitched their horses, and set off.

……

Arthur was going to visit Miller first, and the two of them happened to pass by the Bronte estate that was being rebuilt.

"How about it, Sean, we can live in it when it's built here."

"? You bought this place?" Sean asked in surprise. Although the main part of the manor was bombed, the garden and the general buildings outside were still intact. Even Sean could tell that it was not cheap. ?

Arthur smiled and said:

"You can't really live in a hotel all the time. It's convenient, but we all need a place we can call home, right?"

"Then remember to leave a big room for me when the time comes. It should preferably have a whole wall of wine cabinets, um, and..."

Seeing that Sean was chattering again, Arthur happily agreed:
"Okay, when the time comes, let you design each of your rooms yourself. Don't worry, there are many rooms, and I will reserve one for each of you."

Just talking and laughing, the two soon arrived at Miller's house.

After all, he had visited before, and this time Arthur easily found Miller who was drinking tea in the study.

"Good morning, Mr. Morgan, I haven't heard any news about you recently."

"Mr. Miller, look at what you said. Isn't it a good thing that there is no news from me? Why do you have to use such a pityful tone?" Arthur sat down opposite him and naturally took out his cigarette case. .

"Smoke my new cigars, I haven't had time to try the taste, just right, you can have a taste together when you come." Miller opened a box of cigars that seemed to have not been opened yet.

After Arthur took it, he smelled it. Although he couldn't tell the so-called good or bad smell, Arthur still lit it up and took a puff, and praised:

"It's a really nice cigar. Mr. Miller is still very particular about it."

"Mr. Morgan, you are becoming more and more hypocritical. This box of cigars is very cheap. Although it is new, I don't say it is a good thing." Miller said with a smile.

Arthur could tell that Miller was joking without any malicious intent. He nodded and said:

"Cheap and expensive can explain some problems, but good or bad is a very personal feeling. This is not hypocritical."
