Chapter 882

Melody Fox was awake and would not have slipped off his shoulder at all. However, his subconscious action of holding her still warmed her heart.

The two of them ran to most of the scenic spots in Insterimond. In order to avoid the gazes of others, she even specially put on a mask.

The two of them could finally shop and take photos as an ordinary couple… They could eat at roadside stalls and experience everything an ordinary couple could feel.

Melody Fox spent the entire afternoon feeling very satisfied. She even hoped that they would be an ordinary couple who stood inconspicuously in the crowd and only needed to worry about daily necessities.

Unlike now, when she was worried about being schemed against by countless people or thinking about how to deal with others the moment she opened her eyes.

However, dreams always wake up. The ringtone of Ken Swanson broke the rare silence.

“Hello?”

No one knew what the person on the other end of the line said, but Ken Swanson said, “Second Uncle, you’re finally willing to see me?”

Meanwhile, Melody Fox also received a call from Aaron Berg.

“Miss Fox, I’m done. Other than the Murphy family, there’s also the Swanson family and Li Ming.”

Upon hearing this, Melody Fox frowned.

Aaron Berg continued, “However, I followed the clues and found out that the Murphy family first contacted the Swanson family’s team before looking for the Taylor family. So I think there must be something fishy going on.”

Melody Fox suddenly thought of the changes in Ruby Taylor and had a feeling they were gradually approaching the truth.

However, she was still standing in the fog. It seemed that if she took a few more steps, she would understand everything.

From the looks of it, she had to go to today’s auction, even though she already knew in her heart that the Green Velvelt herbs auction tonight would most likely not belong to her.

“I understand. Come back quickly. Don’t investigate anything else first. I’ll discuss it with Ken Swanson.” “Yes.”

After Melody Fox hung up, Ken Swanson also hung up. She was the first to ask, “From what you said to the person on the other end of the phone… was it Li Ming?”

“Yes.” Ken Swanson nodded and said, “He probably knows that he can’t avoid it, so he asked me to meet him at the branch company after he’s half a year younger than Dad. However, I think he took the initiative to call because of his wife. His wife should have guessed that if he continued to avoid me, it would only make them look more guilty, so she simply asked him to meet me. His wife… is really extraordinary. At least, she’s more capable than Li Ming.” Melody Fox nodded and said, “Then bring Aaron Berg along, just in case. After all, the other party knows witchcraft. This thing is impossible to guard against, and I can’t go with you.”

“I’ll leave Aaron Berg to you. Li Ming won’t dare to do anything to me.”

Ken Swanson’s tone was very firm. Melody Fox knew that he could not refuse, so he could only nod.

Then, she said again, “By the way, Aaron Berg called me just now.”

As she spoke, she told Ken Swanson what Aaron Berg had found out today.

“the Murphy family and Li Ming?” He frowned and said, “It

seems that Li Ming has really roped in all the people he can. We discovered it too late.”

“It’s not too late. I have a feeling that I’ll find out about these three families tonight. What’s going on and what complicated relationships do they have.”

As they spoke, the vendor selling cotton candy waved at them.

“Sir, Miss, the marshmallows you bought are ready.”

The two of them looked at each other and lost their relaxed mood.

Melody Fox walked over to pay and casually gave the cotton candy to a child nearby.

The child was very polite. Even though he was shocked by her appearance, he restrained his fear and said, “Thank you, Auntie.”

With that, he turned around and ran.

“Auntie…”

Melody Fox laughed self-deprecatingly and said, “I’ve really unknowingly reached the age where people call me auntie.”

As she spoke, she subconsciously put on her mask.

Ken Swanson grabbed her hand that was pulling on her mask.

“Melody, my love for you has nothing to do with my appearance or age. I will also grow old. In the future, we will all become white-haired and toothless Grandpa and Grandma. So I really want to tell you that these are not important to me at all. I love you the way you are and nothing else.”

After saying that, he ignored the surprised or confused gazes of the people around him and bent down to kiss her deeply on the lips.

Melody Fox subconsciously closed her eyes. Her fingertips were a little hot.

When she opened her eyes again, she could hear the gentle evening breeze. In front of her was the man she loved deeply.

Melody Fox’s eyes turned red. She completely let go of her inferiority complex in front of Ken Swanson. Her heart became firm and strong again.

Yes, from the moment Ken Swanson saw her, she had always been like this.

He did not know her real appearance at all. Why would he despise her appearance after the two of them had already confirmed their relationship and become a real husband and wife?

She should trust him and trust her own judgment, even if she had once overestimated herself and paid a huge price.

She, who had been anxious because of her appearance a few days ago, seemed to have dissipated with the wind at this moment.

However, she still had to find the Green Velvet herbs and recover her appearance.

But this time, she changed herself not to cater to anyone’s aesthetic taste, but just to become a better version of herself.

Melody Fox suddenly mustered up a huge amount of courage. She stood on her tiptoes and took the initiative to kiss Ken Swanson’s lips.

For the first time in her life, she kissed him on the street.

Ken Swanson could not help but be stunned for a moment. When he reacted, he hugged her waist forcefully and kissed her deeply again.

This kiss was hot and long. Their lips and teeth leaned against each other. It was as gentle as water, but also as passionate as fire.

After an unknown period of time, when the phone rang again, the two of them reluctantly let go of each other.

Melody Fox’s cheeks were red, and she looked like she wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.

Ken Swanson smiled gently and hooked her hand. “It’s a call for you.”

Melody Fox suddenly came back to her senses. She took out her phone and saw that it was Aaron Berg calling.

“Miss Fox, where are you? I’m at the hotel. It’s time to prepare for the press conference, it’s almost time.”

“I’m with my husband. I’ll be right back to the hotel.”

Aaron Berg was relieved to hear this.

“There’s no hurry. Take your time.”

After knowing that Melody Fox was with Ken Swanson, he immediately did not dare to be anxious.

But Melody Fox still said, “She’ll be right back.”

After ending the call, although Melody Fox was reluctant, she still forced a smile and said, “Looks like we’re going to part ways.”

Ken Swanson flicked her forehead punishingly.

“What are you talking about? I’ll come to you immediately after I see Li Ming.”

Melody Fox nodded. “Then you can take your car. I’ll go back with Spencer so that you don’t have to make a detour.” Ken Swanson suddenly looked at her in silence.

Melody Fox was wondering why he suddenly quieted down when he heard Ken Swanson ask, “How did you know to take a detour? I remember that this is your first time here, right?”
