Chapter 783
Of course, before returning to the hotel, Melody packed a portion of Ken Swanson’s favorite dishes.
Aaron Berg could not help but say, “Miss Fox, it’s already two o’clock when we return to the hotel. Young Master should have eaten already, right?”
“That’s not necessarily true. His life is so tiring… He always forgets to eat. Anyway, let’s bring him back food first.”
“Yes.”
Hence, the former leader of the black market was now following behind Melody with two bags of lunch boxes.
By the time they returned to the hotel, it was already past two in the afternoon.
But just as Melody expected, after asking Spencer, she learned that Ken Swanson had been immersed in work and had not eaten lunch at all.
Aaron Berg was surprised, but he didn’t forget to praise Melody Fox.
“Fortunately, Miss Fox, you brought it back. You really have divine foresight.”
Melody Fox ignored Aaron Berg’s flattery. She could see that after Shi Luo’s incident, Aaron Berg looked at her with much more respect than before they set off for Lu City.
It seemed that not only did she make Shi Luo submit, but she also made Aaron Berg’s heart a little tighter.
In the future, she would not have to worry about Aaron Berg suddenly stabbing her in the back because of Nyla Berg’s death.
“Give it to me. You guys go and organize your things too. We’ll probably have to go back to Silverlake later.”
“Yes!”
Melody Fox nodded slightly. She took the food box from Aaron Berg and walked into the hotel room.
It was not until the door closed that Aaron Berg retracted his gaze and looked at Spencer.
“Come, go to my room. Tell me about the amazing things she did during the time you followed her.”
Spencer asked in confusion, “Didn’t you not want to hear about Miss Fox before?”
“I do now.”
He had already confirmed that Melody Fox would be his mistress in the future, so he wanted to know her better to avoid making mistakes in the future.
Moreover, he really wanted to know how strong a girl who was even younger than him could be.
Spencer happily agreed. As he walked, she said, “Miss Fox is really amazing. There are some things that Seventeen told me. I’ll tell you everything…”
In the room.
As soon as Melody Fox entered, Ken Swanson turned to look at her.
Observing her expression, he smiled and asked, “Is the matter resolved?”
“Yeah.”
“Thank you for your hard work.” Ken Swanson stood up from the desk and took the things from her hands. “What did you bring back?”
“Lunch. I knew you didn’t squeeze time for lunch!”
Ken Swanson was a little embarrassed. He explained in a fawning manner, “I was too busy and didn’t have time to eat. But didn’t you bring food back for me? If I don’t eat it, I’ll waste what you brought back.”
“You still have the cheek to say that! If you get gastric problems, I’ll be the one to nurse you back to health in the end! In short, you have to eat meals 3Xs a day in the future.”
“Got it. I’ll definitely remember to eat in the future. No matter how busy I am, I’ll find time to eat two mouthfuls. How about that?”
Melody pouted. “That’s more like it. Alright, hurry up and eat. If you don’t eat now, the food will get cold.”
“Do you want us to eat together? It’s boring to eat alone.”
“Fine.”
Coincidentally, she was also focused on Shi Luo’s matter and had not eaten much in the private room. At this moment, she felt a little hungry.
As the two of them ate, Ken Swanson mentioned Shi Luo.
“How did you resolve this matter? I only know a portion of it from the brooch that James Deeds gave you…
Melody Fox made a long story short and told him about Shi Lou.
“If Shi Luo was easier to fool, easier to fool, the matter could be resolved faster. However, it’s precisely because he’s awkward and stubborn, and there’s some arrogance in his bones, so I can only circle around to win him over.”
As Melody spoke, she turned around and saw Ken Swanson’s black eyes staring straight at her. His eyes were clearly as black as obsidian, but they made people feel exceptionally bright.
She felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Ken Swanson.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“You look good.”
Melody Fox blushed. Similarly, she felt a sense of inferiority.
“Don’t bluff me. How can I not know if I’m pretty or not?”
However, Ken Swanson hooked her chin with one hand with an extremely serious expression.
“In my eyes, you are the most beautiful and perfect woman in the world.”
She was smart, and kind, had superb medical skills, and had many skills. He must have accumulated great virtue in his previous life to be able to marry her.
Melody could not help but scrutinize Ken Swanson’s eyes.
The eyes were the windows to the soul. If he was lying, she could totally see the clues.
However, after looking at each other for a while, she realized that Ken Swanson seemed to really think that she was perfect.
“Have you… always liked ugly girls?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? You’re the only one I like. It has nothing to do with looks. Regardless of whether you’re beautiful or ugly, the person I like is you.”
Melody lowered her head. “I don’t believe it. All men like beautiful women.”
“You don’t believe me? Then I’ll prove it to you.”
“How can you prove it?”
“Of course… I’ll do it myself!”
Ken Swanson picked her up and threw her onto the big bed in the room.
“I’m a clean freak. If I didn’t like you, I wouldn’t have done that.”
Melody hurriedly pressed both hands against his chest.
“It’s broad daylight. Don’t do anything rash!”
“How is messing around with my wife? Besides, you asked me to prove it myself…”
With that, he bent down and kissed her deeply.
Not long after. The bed limb shook and made a gurgling sound.
The temperature in the room instantly rose. A beautiful butterfly landed outside the room and greedily absorbed the pollen on the roses.
James Deeds was looking for Ken Swanson and was excited to report the good news about Shi Lu’s complete surrender. But when he reached the door and was about to knock on the door, he heard voices inside.
He had never eaten pork before, but he had seen pigs run. He knew what was going on inside.
This time, he finally didn’t turn into a third wheel and left cursing.
“Damn it, it’s a five-star hotel. What kind of lousy soundproofing is this…”
James Deeds, who was single from the mother’s womb, broke through his defense and left.
The sun was setting when the group finally returned to Silverlake.
On the way, James Deeds relayed to Ken Swanson what Shi Lou had said to him in the private room.
“He said that it was Ulric Swanson who poisoned him. He even volunteered to list the people who were poisoned that day. Oh, right, he also said that if you need it, he can tell those people that Miss Fox detoxified him.”
“There’s no need for for now. Let him continue to pretend that he’s still hesitating. This way, Ulric Swanson can let down his guard and ensure his personal safety first. Secondly, he can also be a spy and continue to provide us with information about Ulric Swanson.”
“Yes!”
At the airport of Silverlake, Melody Fox and Ken Swanson were separated by different cars.
Ken Swanson, who was “going to the construction site to inspect”, needed to return to headquarters.
Melody was about to go to Herbathrive when Zack Nelson suddenly called.
“Miss Fox, can you help me visit my grandfather?”
