Chapter 725

She was no longer short of money. To her, money was just a number.

However, she would never let go of any opportunity to make herself stronger.

After getting Margaret’s approval, Ken Swanson went straight to the study room after dinner and finalized the preliminary plan.

After Ulric Swanson came out, he would definitely think of a way to recover his power as soon as possible.

And the catering project was obviously a big cake.

He had too many things to take care of. It was best to leave the project to Melody Fox.

His only worry was that she would be tired, so he did everything he could to help her.

By the time the project proposal was almost completed, the clock hand was already pointing at eleven o’clock.

Ken Swanson rubbed the back of his neck and returned to the bedroom from the study. He happened to hear Melody Fox on the phone.

“Yes, it’s a divorce lawsuit.”

Divorce…

Ken Swanson instantly stopped in his tracks.

“The man probably won’t agree to a divorce so easily, so we need to find the best divorce lawyer here…”

“Yes, the woman’s status is indeed inferior to the man’s, but there’s no need to worry about the economy.”

“How soon? The sooner the better.”

“Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you to arrange for a lawyer to contact me as soon as possible.”

After the call ended, Melody Fox hung up and saw Ken Swanson standing at the door with a document in his hand. The expression in his eyes was unclear, making it impossible to tell if he was happy or angry.

“You’re done?” Melody Fox’s lips curled into a smile when he saw Ken Swanson pass the document to her expressionlessly.

“I’m going to take a shower.”

With that, he took a change of clothes and entered the bathroom. From the beginning to the end, he did not even look at her.

Melody Fox vaguely felt that Ken Swanson was not in a good mood.

But no matter how hard she racked her brains, she could not figure out why his mood had suddenly worsened.

Wasn’t he still fine for dinner?

After thinking about it, Melody Fox still felt that he should ask directly after he finished showering.

Soon, the sound of water could be heard. Melody Fox opened the document that Ken Swanson had given her. It was a project proposal.

He had really made up his mind to share this big cake with her…

Melody Fox took a closer look at the proposal. What was written in it was highly consistent with her thoughts.

First, he would start with instant food products to create brands. After they filled all the shops in the country and became famous, he would start to create chain restaurants. Furthermore, Ken Swanson had gone deeper than she had thought. The chain restaurants were subdivided into ordinary restaurants and high-end restaurants. The brands were the same, but the brands of the restaurants were separated by one word… and so on.

It was almost as if he had helped her set the route for everything else after she was cured and the ingredients were ready.

Melody Fox felt a sense of security.

The fear of not being able to do this project well also disappeared.

However, when Ken Swanson finally came out of the shower, he lay on the bed and said, “I’m tired. I’ll sleep first.”

“Ah? Oh… Okay.”

Melody Fox quickly lay down on the bed and turned off the light for him.

They were pure roommates now, but tonight seemed to be harder for Melody Fox than every previous night.

She felt that the air pressure in the room seemed to be especially low.

However, since Ken Swanson said that he was asleep, she did not want to disturb him anymore. She could only turn around. The two of them lay with their backs facing each other, but neither of them was sleepy.

After an unknown period of time, Melody Fox finally fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes, the pillow was already empty. She used her hand to feel the temperature of the Ken Swanson pillow.

It was cold. He must have been gone for a long time.

But it was only six in the morning. Was he going to the office so early?

Melody Fox had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

The drowsiness on her body instantly disappeared. She simply got out of bed and went downstairs to see if Ken Swanson was still there.

Fortunately, after going downstairs, she asked the servant and found out that Ken Swanson had not gone to the company and had gone out for a morning run.

“A morning run? In the manor?”

“Yes. He should be running around the manor. The Eldest Young Master has only run for half a year. He should be running for a while longer.”

“I understand. Thank you.”

Melody Fox thought that she had to exercise more recently, so she went upstairs to change into casual clothes and went out.

“James Deeds.” Melody Fox immediately spotted James Deeds, Aaron Berg, and Spencer guarding the villa’s entrance. “Miss Fox, good morning.”

Melody Fox nodded and asked, “Where is Ken Swanson now?”

“She should be running here soon,” James Deeds said as he looked her up and down. When he saw that she was wearing sportswear, he asked curiously, “Miss Fox, are you going for a run too?”

“Yeah, exercise.”

As he spoke, Melody Fox’s sharp eyes saw a tall figure running over.

It was Ken Swanson.

Melody Fox immediately ran over.

James Deeds and Aaron Berg followed behind.

“Ken Swanson!” Melody Fox quickly ran up to Ken Swanson and asked, “How many more laps do you have to run? I’ll go with you. Coincidentally, I haven’t exercised for a long time. My stamina is not as good as before.”

However, Ken Swanson stopped in his tracks and said indifferently, “You can run. I’m done running. I’ll take a shower and get to the office early. Dad will arrive at the airport at six in the evening. I have to finish my work early.”

With that, he walked straight into the villa without looking at her.

The smile on Melody Fox’s face froze.

If Ken Swanson was really tired last night and was not in a good mood.

She was 100% sure that Ken Swanson was in a bad mood because of her.

But why?

Melody Fox bit her lower lip. For some reason, she did not have the courage to chase after him and ask for details.

Even someone as big-hearted as James Deeds also noticed that something was wrong with Ken Swanson.

However, the two of them had always been a little strange, so James Deeds quickly let it go.

“Then Miss Fox, I’ll go prepare the car first. The weather is getting colder, I’ll turn on the air conditioner first.

The two of them were too familiar with each other, so there was no need to pretend to be polite. Therefore, James Deeds left after receiving no response from Melody Fox.

In Aaron Berg’s eyes, this scene became Ken Swanson and James Deeds not taking Melody Fox seriously at all.

He was even more convinced that the mister had sent her to protect Melody Fox only because Melody Fox was his nominal wife.

“Miss Fox.” Aaron Berg suddenly said, “There’s something urgent in the black market. I need to deal with it. If you don’t have any special arrangements today, can you give me a few days off? I’ll be back immediately after I’m done

Melody Fox did not know what Aaron Berg was thinking. He nodded and said, “Alright, go ahead.”

“Thank you, Miss Fox.

Aaron Berg nodded slightly and his figure quickly disappeared from their sight.

Melody Fox didn’t feel anything, but Spencer clearly felt Aaron Berg’s contempt for Melody Fox.

He hesitated for a moment and could not help but remind Melody Fox indirectly, “Miss Fox, Aaron’s current mission is to protect you. Why did you let Aaron return to the black market? If you encounter danger, Aaron is stronger than me. With him around, you will be safer.”

Melody Fox shook his head lightly. “I’m not feeling well today, so I won’t go out. If you have anything to do, go ahead.”

With that, she returned to the villa with a heavy heart. There was only one thing on her mind. Why was Ken Swanson angry with her?
