Chapter 208: Chapter 208

Chapter 209

Fort Favila frowned fiercely, and he held Dana Roosevelt, who leaped on the sofa, in one hand. Then he took a look at the wine bottle on the coffee table and told Dana in a deep voice, "If you can't drink too much, then don't drink. Why do you have to make yourself suffer too much?"

Dana could only mumble, "Okay..."

After all, whenever she would get drunk, she could remember that day when she first met with Walker Herbert.

It was because of her drunkenness that she met him.

At that moment, as Dana was being supported by Fort, she slowly fell back to her original place.

And Fort's clear voice pulled her back to reality bit by bit.

The moment Dana realized that it was Fort who was in front of her, she asked in a voice that was no longer as dim as before, "Why are you back?"

Fort retorted, "Well, if I didn't come back, who would witness how you will die of alcohol poisoning as you get drunk alone at home?"

Dana just pursed her lips and replied, "I am tired. I want to get some rest now."

But just as she was about to leave, Fort herd her wrist and told her, "Freya told me about you and Walker today."

And with that said, Fort lowered his head little by little to look at Dana.

Dana tried to break free from Fort's grasp and she asked, "Well, what do you want to ask me? Just say it!"

Dana remembered that Freya Mason had already asked her about it. She told Freya the truth, but she did not say everything. So now, Freya had told Fort to ask Dana about it again.

In theory, Fort would not help Dana conceal the truth. After all, he was the kind of person who had a strong opinion, and a person who would not bend his principles because of others.

So, Dana did not intend to lie to him.

Fort asked her, "Then what did you tell Freya?"

Dana replied, "I said Walker was my ex-husband, who also happened to be my teacher."

Fort asked again, "What else?"

Dana said truthfully, "Nothing more."

Fort did not speak this time. He just looked at Dana for two seconds, then he strengthened his grip on Dana's wrist.

Dana asked him, "Hey, what are you doing?"

For many years, Dana did not have any close contact with a member of the opposite sex.

But Fort was bold enough to force her, and to pull her towards him through her wrist.

Then the moment his lips sealed on Dana's lips, the last tense string of words in Dana's mind was completely forgotten.

But as Dana looked at Fort's face that was pressed to her face, she subconsciously raised her hand to slap him. But her hand stopped in mid-air.

After three years, she could not help but appreciate how Fort's handsomeness had matured.

Fort was different from Walker's cold and hard temperament that was built out of business elites. Fort's handsomeness was on a feminine side and was softly crafted.

His skin was extremely fair, his eyes were deep, and his eyelashes were very long.

Fort's lip color had a natural dark red hue, and it made countless women admire him more.

As Dana stared at his face that looked like a fallen angel, she was stunned.

After a while, Fort finally let go of Dana after giving her fierce kiss. But as a result, Dana slapped him over. Fort just stood still and he clasped his hands.

Dana looked at him incredulously and told him, "Are you crazy?"

But Fort's eyes were unnaturally calm.

There was no regret nor any emotion on his eyes at all. It was as if what he did just now was just an ordinary thing. He did not care at all.

Then he sarcastically replied to Dana's question, "No, I am not crazy. I was just wondering if you will suddenly be overwhelmed since you haven't touched a man in three years..."

Dana's face turned sour, and she threatened Fort, "Bastard! Fort, I am warning you. The next time this kind of thing happens again, we don't need to see each other again!"

After Dana had finished speaking viciously, she turned around and closed the door for her room with a loud bang. She did not come out anymore.

Meanwhile, at the Sparks Industries Building...

The stars were shining brightly tonight.

The lights in the office were dim, and only the computer at the President's desk was turned on.

There was a blue colored light left on the man's face, and his surrounding was deeply quiet.

It was like a deep well that had been opaque for hundreds of years, that was calm and unfathomable.

Walker looked at the screen intently.

He was not actually looking at a complicated report, or a PowerPoint presentation. Instead, he was looking at a picture.

In the Google search bar, the name 'Vicky' was clearly and precisely typed out.

All of a sudden, the door to his office cracked open, and the temperature of Walker's body suddenly became colder. He asked puzzlingly, "Who is it?"

Although Walker could no longer remember Dana, his ability to work in the past and his indifferent aura remain unchanged at all.

When he saw that Harper had come in, he frowned subconsciously and asked, "Why are you here?"

Harper's face turned sour as she replied, "Today is our wedding night. Do you really have to work overtime?"

Because their wedding had just ended, Harper wanted to go back to the new house with Walker. She did not expect him to disappear from the banquet discreetly.

Meanwhile, Walker's expression did not change. On his computer screen, he just looked at the picture of Vicky Hale, whose real identity was Dana Roosevelt, and he told Harper coldly, "I am very busy today."

Harper asked him, "Then when are you going home?"

Walker replied, "In the middle of the night? Or maybe tomorrow morning."

Harper stood still when she heard that.

Harper was still wearing the ring that she just wore at their wedding just now. The diamond in the ring was big and dazzling, but it felt a bit ironic that she was wearing it now.

Walker was silent for a while. Eventually, after two seconds, he began to tell Harper earnestly, "Harper..."

Harper bit her lips tightly and got herself ready to listen.

Walker continued to say, "Although I am very grateful for your care for me over the past three years, We both knew that I don't remember many things. And while I try to remember about these things that I have forgotten, I still want to live alone. I still can't get used to living with a woman at home."

Harper felt a little funny when she heard those words.

She laughed and repeated Walker's words, "You can't get used to living with a woman at home?"

Then Harper continued to say sarcastically, "Since you still can't get used to the existence of woman with you at home, what do you intend to do after marrying me?"

Walker just watched her for two seconds. Soon, Walker told her something that she did not expect she would hear from him, "Well, I would just like to remind you that we have not yet received our marriage certificate yet."

Harper was stunned for a moment when she heard this.

Then she asked him dumbly, "What do you mean by saying this?"

Deep inside, Harper trembled in her heart. After all, their wedding had been held, and the news of it had been released, too.

Therefore, the whole world knew that she and Walker were already married. In fact, they were even more famous than when Walker was with Dana back then. Harper could not help but wonder if Walker still wanted to back out now.

Walker's face was calm, and his eyes were full of incomprehensible deepness as he said, "It means nothing. I just want to make it clear beforehand, so as not to hurt you."

Harper bit her lip hard as if her mouth almost bled.

Then Walker continued to tell her in a business-like manner, "Except for companionship and love, I assure you that I will give you wealth and a high social status as your husband. Of these, you can be rest assured. Now, if there is nothing else you want to tell me, you can go ahead."

And with that said, Walker lowered his head to start processing some documents.

Harper just looked at Walker who had uttered those cold words.

Although she wanted to say a thousand words to release the dissatisfaction she felt in her heart, she could not speak.

So, she just turned around and opened the door to go out.

However, as soon as she had put her hand on the doorknob, she stopped in her tracks.

Then she mumbled, "Walker?"

Walker asked in return, "Is there anything else?"

At that point, Harper felt a pain in her heart because of Walker's indifference. She could not help but notice the way Walker treated her with the same attitude towards a secretary.

Harper took a deep breath, and she finally asked, "You said you are not used to living with a woman at home. But did you ever get used to Dana?"

In the past, from Silver Beach to Herbert-Roosevelt Villa, Walker could not actually wait for everything to be with Dana. He wanted Dana to stay with him all the time. So, Harper could not help but think that if Walker was really not used to having a woman at home, then he should not have been with Dana in the first place.

Meanwhile, when Walker heard Dana's name, his eyebrows twitched for no reason.

He just told Harper, "I don't remember her."

Harper said nothing when she heard that reply. Then after a while, she replied, "Okay."

Harper sighed in her heart and she continued to say, "I will go ahead now. You should rest soon. One way or another, you are still my husband. And I hope that one day, you are willing to go home with me."

And with that said, Harper nodded and left.

The moment she closed the door of Walker's office, she felt an inexplicable weight of grievances in her heart.

She reminded herself to just bear with this, and to just make a big plan in the future. For a mere night, she didn't need to be anxious.

After all, the Herbert and Brown marriage was not that easy to tear down.

Besides, Dana was now a public figure. Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for her to become Walker's mistress without considering public opinion.

Therefore, with this thought in mind, Harper felt more relieved.

She secretly vowed that one day, she would find a way to make Walker go home and sleep with her.

Meanwhile, back at Star River, Dana fell asleep all night because of drunkenness.

She slept heavily because she had not slept so well for a long time, too.

As a result, when she got up the next day, she was very energetic. And as she looked at herself in the mirror, she happily applied skin care products on her face. Then she turned on her mobile phone.

She placed her mobile phone on the table in front of her. Soon, Freya Mason's familiar voice spoke through the loudspeaker, "Vicky my dear, are you up already?"

Dana, who was now applying a toner on her face, replied curtly, "Yes."

Freya reminded her, "Today is your first public event in England, remember?"

Dana still replied with the same word, "Yes."

Freya smiled with relief when she heard Dana's confirmation that she remembered. Then she reminded, "Well, remember to dress up nicely. A lot of celebrities will also go to the charity auction today. Your donation company is ready anyway. You just have to go through the scene."

Dana replied, "Yes. Is there anything else? Otherwise, I have to go now and do my makeup."

Freya replied, "Well, nothing else."

But when she suddenly remembered something, she said in a serious voice, "By the way, Walker and Harper will be going, too. Please pay attention to your actions."

Dana, who was now applying some eye cream to the corners of her eyes, stiffened for a second when she heard that.

But in the next second, she began to mover her hand again naturally, and she replied, "Got it."

Freya reminded, "Well, but you don't need to be nervous. Fort will go, too. Whatever happens, he will be there to assist you."

Dana just replied, "Okay."

After she had ended the call, Dana began to put on some makeup and change clothes.

She knew that it was not uncommon for Walker and Harper to appear at a charity auction.

But she just did not expect that after seeing them yesterday, she would see them again today.

Now she realized what a narrow world it was for them to meet in a frequent manner.

And as Dana sat inside her extended Lincoln that was parked at the hotel entrance and saw the familiar couple that was walking out of a Maybach, that was what she thought of in her heart.
