Chapter 764
The information that Melody Fox wanted was only about the other party’s appearance, personality, and so on. There was no need to go into detail.
Therefore, after Ken Swanson called James Deeds, James Deeds quickly sorted out Shiloh’s basic information and sent it to Melody Fox.
“Shilo’s going to Lin City for a meeting tomorrow. You might have to go to Lin City.”
Melody Fox nodded. “No problem. Send me the address of his restaurant or hotel when you find it.”
“Mm. Then take a look at the information first. I’ll take a shower first. I don’t know why, but I feel a little hot. My back is sweating a little and I’m not feeling well.”
Melody’s eyes widened.
“Do you… feel hot?”
Was the effect of the meat so good? It was almost comparable to that medicine…
“What’s wrong?” Ken Swanson observed her expression and thought that Melody Fox felt that something was wrong with his body. He asked in confusion, “Is there something wrong with me?”
“N-no!” Melody Fox quickly shook her head and said, Maybe it’s because your physique is more sensitive to heat. Go take a shower…”
She felt guilty and did not dare to look at Ken Swanson.
However, her reaction piqued Ken Swanson’s curiosity.
“Melody, are you hiding something from me?”
“No!” Melody Fox pretended to be calm and said, “There’s just something about Astrid Swanson.”
“Astrid Swanson?”
Melody Fox was afraid that Ken Swanson would think that something was wrong with the soup, so she quickly told him everything that had happened to Astrid Swanson.
“But you don’t have to worry too much. I’ve already explained everything to Lucy Colt. Margaret will be fine.”
Ken Swanson frowned.
“Astrid Swanson, that stupid pig… She actually dared to lay her hands on Grandma so quickly.”
“You can’t blame her for being stupid.”
Melody shrugged and told him about how she had deliberately provoked Astrid Swanson for the past two days.
“My consideration is that sooner or later, she will target Margaret again, so why don’t we take the initiative to attack and catch her like a turtle in a jar? However, Astrid can’t even last three days. This is something I didn’t expect.”
“She’s used to being pampered. In the past, no one dared to treat her with that kind of attitude. Of course, she can’t take this lying down. Your idea is right. Instead of waiting for them to make a move, it’s better to lure her out.”
“Yes, and Ulric Swanson probably doesn’t know about this. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let us find out so easily.”
Ken Swanson gave a half-smile. “No matter how scheming Ulric Swanson is, he’s still afraid of stupid teammates. The more Astrid Swanson hides it from Ulric Swanson, the more beneficial it will be for us to catch her.”
Melody Fox nodded. “This time, we must take the opportunity to get rid of Astrid Swanson. Although Astrid Swanson is stupid, she is very good at socializing. Ulric Swanson’s legs are inconvenient, and many things need Astrid Swanson’s help. Without Astrid Swanson’s help, I’m afraid he will lose many people.”
After Melody Fox finished speaking, she realized that Ken Swanson was looking straight at her.
She subconsciously avoided his gaze and asked, “… Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Nothing.”
Ken Swanson shook his head and said, “You seem to know my brother better than me.”
“This…” Melody Fox bit her lower lip, not knowing what to tell Ken Swanson.
She did not want to be as vague as before, nor did she want to lie to him, but… after telling the truth, would Ken Swanson believe her? He would think that she was a lunatic…
Just as Melody Fox didn’t know how to explain, Ken Swanson asked her, “Is this one of the things you don’t want to say?”
Melody Fox pursed her lips and said, “I’m sorry… I’ll explain everything to you in the future.”
Ken Swanson nodded and leaned over to plant a light kiss on her forehead.
“Don’t feel pressured. I’ll say it again. When you want to say whatever Fox wants to say, I’ll listen to you. Before that, I won’t ask you anymore.
Melody Fox’s eyes reddened.
“Thank you…”
“Didn’t I tell you not to thank me? It makes us seem distant.”
Ken Swanson rubbed her head and said, “I’m going to take a shower.”
“Yeah, I’ll take a look at Shi Luo’s information first.”
Soon, the sound of water in the bathroom could be heard.
Ken Swanson’s figure disappeared into the hot air of the bathroom.
Melody could see Ken Swanson’s muscular figure through the frosted glass door of the bathroom.
She could not help but feel a little nervous.
This was their first night after “acting the real thing”. It was destined to be different from other nights.
Wait a minute…
Melody Fox: You Perverted Girl, What Are You Thinking?
Melody Fox patted his face and forced himself to stop thinking about random things. She focused on Shiloh’s information.
To Melody Fox’s surprise, although Shi Luo started from the bottom and slowly reached the current upper echelons of the Swanson Group, he was not old. He had just crossed the threshold of 30 years old, about the same age as Wilmot Sherman.
To be able to become a higher-up of the Swanson Group at such a young age, his ability must be extraordinary.
After Ken Swanson came out of the shower, Melody Fox had just finished reading Shi Luo’s information.
She turned around and saw Ken Swanson loosely wrapped in a towel. He had a lazy expression as he casually pointed at the bathroom and said, “Go take a shower. You’re afraid of the cold. The bathroom is still warm.”
Melody Fox’s heartbeat became uncontrollably irregular again.
She lowered her head and quickly took her pajamas into the bathroom. She did not make any eye contact with Ken Swanson the entire time.
It was funny. She had clearly been married once, but she was actually still an inexperienced girl.
She was basically a blank piece of paper with no experience in that aspect. Even her first kiss… was actually dedicated to Ken Swanson.
When she came out of the shower, the lights in the
bedroom were all turned off. Ken Swanson only left a small orange night light at the head of the bed.
“Gulp…”
Melody Fox swallowed hard and walked to the bed nervously.
The coral blanket was soft and abnormal. As soon as she got under the blanket, Ken Swanson leaned over.
They had shared the same bed a few nights ago, but neither of them had crossed the line. Before they slept, there was almost a mountain between them.
And now, Ken Swanson was wearing the same shower gel as her. As he approached, the fragrance became stronger.
Melody Fox felt as if his acupuncture point had been fixed. He wanted to move but did not dare to. Ken, who was about to move, realized that her entire body had already stiffened like a mummy.
Ken Swanson was about to kiss her face, but then, as if sensing her nervousness, he suddenly stopped.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his body. He hugged her quietly and did not continue the next move.
Melody had been waiting for Ken Swanson with his eyes closed. However, after closing his eyes for a long time, she saw that Ken Swanson was just hugging her and not moving. She could not help but open her eyes in confusion. However, as soon as she opened her eyes, she heard Ken Swanson say softly, “Don’t be nervous. I’ll wait for you to be ready. As long as you’re not ready, I won’t force you… Our wedding night can be postponed indefinitely.”
Melody Fox’s heart skipped a beat. There was an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
Her heart, which had been full of holes and wounds, seemed to be filled with sweet cotton candy.
