Chapter 1996
Author: Gu Lingfei
Hayden was mad, but she still called her brother and asked him to go home for dinner together.

“Why did Dad call us back for dinner? Are we celebrating something at home?” Hugh asked. He and his sister normally lived in their respective villas and only went home for a meal with their parents during the holidays.

“Kevin went to our house and went fishing with Dad the whole afternoon. Dad said he caught half a bucket of fish. Kevin wants to grill fish, so Dad asked us to go home to try some.”

Hayden was resentful as she explained.

Kevin was best at fawning over people. Hayden’s dad would not last more than three seconds in front of him and might expose her secret indeed.

The same applied to her mom.

Hugh smiled and said, “Kevin is really something to have made Dad so happy. Since Dad asked us to go back for dinner, let’s go then. I haven’t had drinks with him for a long time either, so I’ll have a couple with him tonight.”

Hayden responded helplessly, “I have a social engag

    “I need to work hard so that when people mention us, they’ll say we're a match made in heaven.”Dylan loved spinning beautiful fantasies, and Imogen could not be bothered to argue. His mouth was his own so he could say whatever he wanted.After a few more reminders, Imogen left.Dylan walked her out, even offering to drive her home, but she shot back, “You're drunk and still want to drive? I don’t have a death wish.”That shut him up. All he could do was watch as she got into her car and drove away.The rest of the night passed uneventfully.The next day, Dylan slept until the afternoon.When he rushed to Davidson Group to wait for Imogen to get off work, he was told she had already left on her business trip.She had said she would be leaving in two days, but she had gone ahead that day itself without telling him that she was leaving or even where she was headed.Dylan was a little crushed, but then he reminded himself that she was just going on a business trip, not leaving Hu

    “I don’t want to create a bunch of love rivals for you either. Even if they couldn’t hurt you, I’d still hate for them to envy you or harass you.“Imogen, I belong only to you, in this life and the next. Don’t you dare push me toward anyone else.”Imogen was silent.She helped him inside and sat him down on the sofa before saying, “If anything, I should be the one finding a few love rivals for you so you’ll see that I don’t have to settle for you. If I wanted to marry, I could, anytime.”Dylan immediately grabbed her hand, gazing at her earnestly. “Imogen, I love you. I’ll always love you. Even if you found a mountain of rivals for me, I wouldn’t back down.“Time tests all things. The longer we’re together, the clearer it’ll be that we’re perfect for each other.”Imogen pulled her hand back but could not resist pinching his cheek again. “You’re shameless.”“Zachary taught all us younger ones that the first rule of winning your wife over is to be thick-skinned. We have to be abso

    “Who took Kade home?”“It wasn’t you, that’s for sure. I told you both not to drink since you had to drive, but you still went ahead and did it.”Imogen scolded more, “You usually have a high alcohol tolerance, but tonight, after just two glasses, you’re acting wasted.”Dylan grinned. “I ordered strong liquor. It tastes good but hits hard, and the aftereffects are intense. I dozed off in the car earlier, so I’m feeling a bit better now.“Kade was in a bad mood and wanted to drink, so I had a couple with him to help him vent. Did he get drunk?”“Way worse than you. Dylan, you can head in by yourself. I’m heading back.”Seeing that he seemed much more alert now and could walk steadily, Imogen turned to leave.“Imogen!” Dylan grabbed her hand. “If you’re going to be a good Samaritan, go all the way! You’ve already brought me to my doorstep. Why not take me inside?“You rarely come to my place. At least stay for a glass of water.”Then, switching to a pitiful tone, he added, “I ma

    After consulting with Martin and Rosella, Zachary had agreed to arrange for a junior housekeeper to be sent over to Dylan. However, the housekeeper would likely take a couple more days to arrive.At the moment, Dylan’s home was quiet and dark, with no one inside.Imogen parked the car at the entrance of the villa, then leaned over to pat down Dylan’s pockets. Finally, she found a set of keys in his right pants pocket.She took the keys, got out, and went to unlock the gate.After opening the gate, she entered the house to turn on the lights before coming back out.Returning to the car, she drove into the courtyard and parked right by the front door to make it easier to help Dylan inside.Dylan seemed to be sleeping soundly. He had not opened his eyes or made a sound the entire trip.Kade had been the one who drank the most, yet Dylan, who barely had a few glasses, was acting completely wasted.Imogen strongly suspected he was faking it, just putting on an exceptionally convinci

    As expected, Kade ended up drunk, while Dylan was slightly tipsy.Imogen had no choice but to ask Kade’s secretary to take him home.Originally, Kade had been staying at her family home, but after just two days, he moved into the apartment arranged for him by his company, saying it was closer to work and more convenient.In reality, he did not want to stay at the Doyle residence anymore. His parents had high hopes that living there would give him an advantage in winning Imogen’s heart, but their wishes were one-sided.The Doyles had not outright rejected the idea of an arranged marriage, but that was only because Leticia Doyle was soft-hearted, and she wanted to put some pressure on Dylan, making him cherish Imogen even more.In truth, the Doyles had long regarded Dylan as their future son-in-law. Even if they seemed to give him a hard time, it was all just for show.The most important thing was that Imogen loved Dylan.The day Kade returned to the country, he had asked Imogen d

    Dylan said, “It's not like I don’t have to do anything. Nana told me that the most important thing for me right now is to settle down.“Compared to my career, this takes priority.“So, Nana talked to my brothers and asked them to take over the responsibilities originally assigned to me. That way, I can free up time to pursue my love and finally settle down.“Of course, I’m still making money. After all, I’ll need funds for marriage, and later, raising kids—that’s the expensive part. I’m not short on money, but I want to earn even more so my future wife won’t have to work too hard and can spend freely.“I’ll make sure my future wife has money to spend and the freedom to spend it however she wants.“York Corporation has also increased investments here in Huntington. Occasionally, I still have to check on things.“Kade, you’re older than both me and Imogen by several years—already in your thirties. Aren’t your family elders anxious for you to settle down?”Dylan turned the question

    “You should take good care of your skin.”After speaking, he took out a few sets of skincare he had bought for her and smiled as he passed them to her.“These are the brands you usually use. There’s also a set of new products. You can try them out.“We should all love ourselves and maintain our skin regardless of gender. I also use the men’s products of this brand. It’s pretty good.”Dylan even touched his face for a second. “Look at my skin, Imogen. It’s not bad, right? You can touch it. It feels great.”Imogen laughed. “I don’t want you to say I’m taking advantage of you after touching your face. I won’t be able to clear my name if you ask me to take responsibility.”Dylan blushed. “I’m not that unreasonable.”However, it was true that he wanted to be shameless with her.Ultimately, Imogen accepted the skincare products he gave her. Dylan was satisfied.Kade’s eyes gleamed. Soon, he found a topic to chat with Imogen. It was about their families’ business collaboration. D

    Kade thought, ‘Dylan is… such a petty person.’Dylan did not allow him to approach Jen at all.However, if Maria had other admirers, Kade would probably act like Dylan too. With that thought, Kade could understand Dylan’s feelings.“You must've waited for a long time, Mr. Dylan,” Kade said with a smile.Since Dylan did not want him near Imogen, he would do as Dylan wished.When Kade saw Dylan and Imogen together after returning to Huntington, he knew that he and Imogen could never be a couple, no matter how much their families tried to make it happen.Imogen had her opinions. Her family could never force her to get married to someone she did not like.Ah.Despite being Imogen's godbrother, Kade was not as decisive as her.Dylan said indifferently, “I'm willing to wait for Imogen no matter how long it takes.“Why did you come over for a meeting at such a late hour, Kade?”If not for Kade, Dylan would not have needed to wait for hours.Of course, he would not complain about

    Imogen was worried that Kade would go overboard with his acting.Chatting and having a meal together was fine, but she did not want to have any body contact with him.It was not because of Dylan but Maria.To Imogen, Kade belonged to Maria while he was like a brother-in-law to her.“I was waiting for you to get off work.”Dylan said gently, “Have you finished working, Imogen? Are you hungry? We can grab a late-night snack. It's on me.”He did not want Kade to treat Imogen to a meal. He wanted to be the one treating her. Imogen did not answer him. Kade said, “Since Mr. Dylan offered to treat us, we should give him a chance, Jen.“We're hungry anyway.”He was telling Dylan to treat him and his secretary as well.Kade was set on being a third wheel.Dylan agreed readily. “Okay. I can treat everyone here to a late-night snack.”He asked Imogen softly, “Are you coming, Imogen?”She looked indifferent. She said, “Since Kade's hungry, we can have a meal together.”Dylan grinn
