Imogen said, “We’ve known each other for more than three months. You know I work out every day. I rarely go out for walks like this to appreciate the nighttime city scenery and watch the hustle and bustle of everyone going about their own lives. I worked overtime for two weeks to squeeze out a few days to visit Wiltspoon.”She stopped there.Dylan said apologetically, “I’ll take you out for supper later.”“Sure.”They walked for another ten minutes or so and finally reached the park Dylan mentioned earlier. By the time they walked a lap around it and came back out, more than an hour had gone by.Dylan asked Imogen, “Shall we go for supper now?”“There’s no need. My stomach doesn’t feel as bloated as it did earlier and I feel better now. If I eat more, I’ll feel uncomfortable again. Forget it. We’ll postpone supper. If I feel like eating supper one of these days, I’ll ask you to treat me then.”Dylan was speechless. She said they would not have any more interactions, so why was h
A few minutes later, Dylan’s driver, Leo, arrived and parked by the roadside. Dylan stopped him from getting out and got into the car by himself.The driver turned to look and asked instinctively, “Didn’t you leave with a beautiful young lady, sir?”Dylan settled in and said, “You can stop looking. I called a taxi for her and sent her back to the hotel. Let’s go. I want to go back to my place.”He had his own place in the city and was not planning to go back to Wildridge Manor. He had only just gone back there in the daytime.Leo said as he drove, “I thought that lady was your girlfriend.”“No, she’s Serenity’s friend. I’ve known her for only a few months myself. I still don’t know where my future wife is, Leo.” Dylan really had no clue. He did not know where Chameleon Fox lived. She had come to the York Corporation headquarters in Wiltspoon to look for him before, but when she heard he did not work there, she left.He lied back when Zachary called him because he did not dare adm
“Mr. Zachary is busier than you are, but he still finds the time to go on dates with the missus, so why can’t you find the time?”Dylan was struck speechless by Leo’s urging. After a pause, he huffed a laugh and said, “I really don’t know where she is. What can I do if I can’t find her? All I can do is wait for our next encounter.”Leo often drove for Dylan and had seen Chameleon Fox once before. He had quite a deep impression of the girl dressed in red too and had heard Dylan begging for Josh’s help to look into her.He guessed, “Is that girl dressed in red the lady you like?”“Girl dressed in red? Oh, yeah. She has worn red before. Every time I see her, she’s wearing a different color.”“I’ve only seen her once. At the time, you got out as soon as I stopped to run toward her. Later on, I heard you asking Mr. Josh for help and guessed it was that girl in red.”That was why they had to be very close-lipped when driving for these rich young masters. They often saw or heard things
The Chameleon Fox glared at Dylan. He shrugged and said, “I’m telling the truth. Even if you want me to take it out now, I don’t remember where I put it. Otherwise, you can try searching in my house.“Another thing you can do is to strip and search me.”The little fox jumped off the wall. Dylan panicked a little and opened his arms to catch her. However, he got kicked and stumbled backward from the impact. He did not catch her. Nevertheless, she landed steadily before him. Dylan let out a breath of relief. Although her kick hurt, he pretended he was fine and only patted the spot she kicked him as if he was dusting off her shoe print. “This wall is pretty high. You shouldn’t jump down. What if you lost your balance and crashed?” Dylan scolded her. “You will crash. I won’t,” said the little fox angrily. She reached out and grabbed Dylan’s collar. She pulled it hard until he was in front of her. He did not resist and simply let her pull him. The little fox searched t
Since the item was not big, he would have it with him instead of leaving it in his house. However, she could not find it even after searching his pockets. He must have hidden it somewhere. “Nothing will change even if you don’t believe me. I’ve said you can search my house and take your thing back if you find it. I really don’t remember where I put it.”“Don’t you think you’re just like me, little fox? You must’ve done sneaky things before as well.”She glared at him and had the urge to kick him again. In the end, she held back because she felt a little guilty. Chameleon Fox had taken advantage of her fighting skills and acted like Dylan before. She used to spend a lot of time with her fellow disciple and picked up some of her habits. “It’s getting late, and colder. The weather is very cold because of the cold north wind. The temperature can go as low as 40 degrees in Wiltspoon. Let’s go inside and have a cup of hot tea as we talk.”Dylan invited her into the villa. Actual
Beckham glanced at Dylan before guiding Chameleon Fox into the house. Dylan chuckled and followed them into the villa. The living area was brightly lit. Beckham told the little fox to sit on the sofa. She felt hot as soon as she entered the house. She took off her red coat, folded it, and placed it beside her. When Dylan arrived, Beckham had already poured her a cup of tea. Dylan gestured at Beckham to go and rest and that he would be entertaining the guest himself. Beckham whispered, “Be a gentleman, Mr. Dylan. No one coaxes a lady the way you do.”Dylan replied softly, “I’m not coaxing her.”Beckham simply chuckled and left without another word. Mr. Dylan could deny it all he wanted. No one would believe Mr. Dylan had no feelings for the lady after he had invited her into the house. He was pretty bad at pursuing a girl though. The driver said that Mr. Dylan and the lady had met several times. However, he still did not know her name, only her nickname. Mr. Dyla
As his nana said, there was no such thing as pride when pursuing someone beloved. If Dylan cared about his pride, he would not be able to win her heart. Even someone as arrogant as Zachary had thrown away his pride and was utterly shameless for Serenity. Although he looked ridiculous back then, he had gotten an enviable, happy life in exchange. Dylan thought it was worth it. Therefore, he became shameless as well. Since he had told Grandma May the truth and made things clear to Imogen, he had lost all burden and could finally pursue the woman he truly loved. Chameleon Fox was speechless. “I just want to know your last name. I feel like I’m scolding you whenever I call you a fox.”“My nickname is Fox. Everyone knows the Chameleon Fox.”She refused to reveal her last name. “You can try finding it out yourself. Didn’t you have someone investigate me?”Chameleon Fox faked a smile. She was smug that Dylan had failed to discover her true identity. Being Chameleon Fox mea
Nevertheless, they did not dare to offend her as she was skilled in using poisons. Of course, Dr. Carden would never harm anyway with the poisons she produced. Instead, some poisons saved lives when used in small doses. However, most people still had a different way of thinking. Although they knew Dr. Carden was ethical, they feared being poisoned by her. Therefore, no one dared to bother her even if she had refused to treat them. Dylan asked, “Are you a student of one of those masters?“Do you know Mrs. Lafayette from Meadspring personally?”Chameleon Fox smiled. “If you’re so interested in my background, you can investigate it yourself. I’ll be impressed if you manage to find something.”Dylan grinned. “If I can discover your background, you have to fulfill one of my wishes unconditionally.”“If you can find something without the Bucham family’s help, I’m even willing to fulfill a hundred wishes of yours.”Dylan said, “Having more people involved increases efficiency.”He
