Chapter 1386 The Flirting Fiancé
“Go take a rest on the couch. I’ll wrap things up.” Dalton made arrangements with his usual ease. His words always made it hard for others to refuse.
Wynter’s intention wasn’t to get involved in the Yarwood family’s business affairs. It wouldn’t be ideal if they ever became competitors.
“Are you sure it’s alright?” Wynter was trying to remind him to keep emotions out of work settings. If she were to hear a good business plan, she wouldn’t let her personal feelings get in the way of using it.
Dalton’s smile deepened as he understood her intent. His voice was rich and alluring, and his eyes held a warm gaze. “There’s nothing inconvenient about it. We won’t be discussing anything important.”
He removed his leather gloves as he spoke before gently rubbing the dark circles under Wynter’s eyes with his fingertips. It was a gesture so tender that it was hard to imagine he had just finished a serious. meeting.
“Then, I’ll use your computer to sort through some information. You can continue your discussion, Don’t mind me.* Wynter indeed needed to review the Wray family’s actions over the past two days to prepare for what was coming next.
Dalton responded with a simple

“Your lady?” Sharmaine shifted and paused at Wynter’s face, clearly struggling to process the situation.

Dalton stared at her without saying a word, but his eyes seemed to be filled with a dark mist.
Sharmain felt a shiver down her spine and immediately lowered her gaze. “Yes.”
This was the first time Wynter actually realized that these people were genuinely terrified of Dalton,
“I’m so tired,” Dalton muttered as he leaned his head against Wynter’s shoulder. His voice was cold and low: “My subordinates can’t handle a single task properly.”
Wynter was momentarily speechless. This wasn’t how she expected the scene to play out, especially with Shermaine still in the room.
Dalton never seemed to do what Wynter expected. What should have been a tense, dramatic moment, with Wynter walking in to find a beautiful woman in the room, had lost its edge with his unexpected display of intimacy.
Wynter could hardly begin to imagine Shermaine’s feelings as she walked out of the room.
Seeing Wynter’s face again, Shermaine wondered if Dalton had anticipated Wynter’s reincarnation and was deliberately waiting for this moment.
Shermaine was only recently awakened by Dalton and couldn’t really understand other matters. However, she knew that Wynter was the only person who had ever outplayed Dalton. How did she suddenly become Dalton’s lady?
Though Shermaine was somewhat dazed, she understood what Dalton meant. He wanted her to clear her head. If she inadvertently revealed any suspicious signs in front of Wynter, Dalton might make her return to her eternal slumber in the underworld.
Her last memory was of a world engulfed in flames. Everything outside had drastically changed when she
awoke.
For the past ten days, she had been wandering through the bustling city of Hawford, tracing Dalton’s

energy to various locations. Naturally, she had absorbed a fair amount of life force along the way. Men, regardless of the era, remained unchanged.
Her most regrettable mistake had been her reckless behavior. Her actions had already reached Dalton’s ears. Now, she even found herself face–to–face with Wynter from her previous life.
She couldn’t help but wonder if that glance from Wynter meant she had seen through her true form. Sharmaine felt a flicker of fear.
Normally, upon seeing the young men sitting outside, she would have followed her habit of absorbing some of their life force. But now, she didn’t dare make a move.
In all honesty, the Shadow was a little disappointed when Sharmaine just walked out so casually. He couldn’t help but wonder if Wynter slapped Dalton. After all, no one was completely immune to a bit of gossip.
This was the same for Sharmaine. She had followed Dalton to Hawford a century ago, helping to establish a commercial empire. The only unexpected change she had encountered so far was Wynter. However, Dalton wasn’t supposed to fall in love, right?
