A black Mercedes-Benz was parked outside the Berry Residence. It did not take a genius to know that the car must be Dixon’s.
She did not expect him to arrive early.
With a tight grip on her purse, she entered the Berry Residence and went straight to the living room.
The moment she stepped into the house, she saw a feminine-looking man sitting casually on the sofa. The man looked unruly, like a playboy.
Penelope was looking at Dixon with admiration in her eyes. Shyly, she served some custards to the man. “Dixon, I made these custards myself. Please have a try.”
“Are you saying that I look like a woman?” Dixon scowled as he glared at her.
The appeasing smile on Penelope’s face froze as she mumbled, “Mr. Haddock, you’ve misinterpreted me. I just wanted to show you my kitchen skills.”
A scoff of disdain escaped Dixon as he ordered, “Take it away. I don’t want it.”
Feeling upset and aggrieved, Penelope murmured with a reddened face, “I’m sorry, Mr. Haddock.”
When Ashlyn saw the scene, she nearly laughed.
It was obvious that Penelope had tried to butter him up, but to no avail.
She wanted to show him that she was ‘wife material’.
Unable to hold it back any longer, Ashlyn chuckled softly before looking at Dixon. “Mr. Haddock, we meet again.”
At that moment, Dixon heard a clear, chime-like familiar voice sounding from behind him.
He turned to look at the door to find Ashlyn looking at Penelope and him with smiling eyes.
However, she seemed amused, as if she had just witnessed the unfolding of a drama.
It’s her!
The woman who knows Ms. Saunders at the charity gala.
The woman who has Jared and Winsor wrapped around her finger.
Unlike the formal attire she wore at the charity gala, Ashlyn had worn a simple white dress and shoes today. Her hair was also tied up in a ponytail.
She did not even apply any colored tint to her lips.
Her milky skin was so fair it was almost translucent.
