Chapter 339 Don’t Scare My Wife
Upon learning of Fanny’s success, Dylan was filled with joy and eager to head straight to their room. However, he managed to compose himself just in time.
When Fanny inquired about Angela, he found himself at a loss for words.
Just as he was about to speak, Fanny whispered, “I need to go out. We’ll talk later.”
In the hotel room’s bathroom, Fanny ended the call. She swiftly changed her clothes and took a deep breath at the door before going out.
“You…” Yaxley seemed bewildered despite their both being dressed neatly now.
Fanny teared up, gazing timidly at Yaxley as she said, “I’m going home. You should leave too. About last night…”
Before she could finish, Yaxley cut her off and abruptly asked, “Do you want to be in a relationship with me? One that leads to engagement.”
Fanny was caught off guard by Yaxley’s direct mention of engagement and immediate plans.
“If you’re not interested, I can offer you other forms of compensation…” Yaxley said helplessly as he rubbed his temples.
He had inspected the room while Fanny was preparing, realizing that the room belonged to her, and he was the intruder.
He hadn’t consumed much alcohol the previous night, but his memory seemed fragmented. He recalled leaving the hotel with Ava and returning to the banquet hall, but nothing beyond. that.
He could delve into the events of the previous night later, However, the present situation demanded his attention.
Fanny bit her lip and asked, “Is it… acceptable?”
Fearing a hasty response from Yaxley, she couldn’t help but inquire, “Regarding the engagement, do your family approve?”
Though Fanny spoke softly, Yaxley heard her clearly.
He furrowed his brow. Then, he pondered for a moment before replying, “It’s fine. You needn’t worry about them.”

Chapter 39 Don’t
Fanny felt a sense of relief and nodded slightly as she softly responded, “Alright then.”
“Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am Yaxley Collier,” Yaxley suddenly started to introduce himself.
Fanny replied, “I’m Fanny Kins.”
Upon hearing her name, Yaxley felt a sense of familiarity but refrained from asking, simply nodding and inquiring. “Shall I escort you home?”
The atmosphere between them was awkward, yet Fanny felt a sense of ease after nodding.
Despite Yaxley’s high status and affluent background, she couldn’t bring herself to develop feelings for him. Fortunately, Yaxley didn’t seem to harbor any dislike toward her either.
As long as she remained by Yaxley’s side, she could carve out a place for herself in Northland.
With divergent thoughts in their minds, the two calmly exited the hotel.
Meanwhile, Angela and Jonathan had just finished breakfast when an unexpected visitor arrived.
Yarrison smiled at Angela and inquired, “Jon, is this your wife, Angela? Hello, Angela.”
The man beside Yarrison also addressed Angela as “Angela.”
Angela was taken aback. It was the first time she had been referred to as such by Jonathan’s friend. She felt slightly uneasy.

Moreover, their scrutinizing gazes were a bit too conspicuous.
“Don’t startle her,” Jonathan interjected, standing between them and issuing a stern warning.
“Huh? We don’t look frightening, so why would we scare her? Jon, please step aside and let me introduce myself to your wife,” Yarrison insisted with a friendly demeanor.
Angela tugged at Jonathan’s sleeve from behind and nodded at him.
“Hello, I’m Angela…” She leaned forward to introduce herself.
Yarrison promptly added, “Hello, Angela. I’m Yarrison Holland, and this is Spencer Lorenzo. We are Jon’s friends…”
