The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 872

Chapter 872: Chapter 872: Candlelit Dinner for Two

Scarlett Jennings looked at the newly arranged courtyard in front of her and paused for just a second before meeting Dashiell’s gaze, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Without any further inquiries, she stepped forward and sat down at one side of the table.

Even though she didn’t think that, in Samuel Chalmers’ current state, such a dinner could rekindle much of his feelings for her, it was Dashiell’s heartfelt gesture, and she certainly wouldn’t waste it.

Seeing Scarlett sit down without hesitation, Dashiell would have thought she knew of his plans if he hadn’t seen her pause earlier.

However, watching her reaction, Dashiell knew he had done a great job.

Satisfied, looking at the female lead sitting down, Dashiell’s face was instantly filled with expectation as he turned his gaze toward Samuel Chalmers.

Samuel Chalmers: ...

He roughly knew why Dashiell had set this up. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

In his memory, the butler at the Chalmers Family also liked to do this.

But Samuel Chalmers thought that such behavior was meaningless.

He could accept her staying by his side, could accept her invitation to live next door, but anything more he deemed unnecessary.

He wouldn’t revert to the Samuel Chalmers she once knew, so why give her false hope?

"Go ahead and eat, I’m heading back to my room."

As he spoke, he turned to leave. Dashiell, hearing this, immediately became anxious and was about to speak to stop him, but from the courtyard, Scarlett Jennings spoke first,

"It’s okay, I can eat by myself."

Her voice revealed little emotion; being rejected for dinner was certainly disappointing, but her disappointment wasn’t directed at the Samuel Chalmers before her.

As for feeling sad, that wasn’t really the case.

However, she did add,

"Samuel Chalmers and I never really had much opportunity to dine together like this before."

Samuel Chalmers looked at Scarlett Jennings in the courtyard, his dark eyes deep, and after a while, he still turned and left.

Dashiell was even more anxious.

This guy was so cold now!

He had worked hard to set this up, yet this person didn’t cooperate at all!

He really left Scarlett there by herself!

Dashiell was a bit angry and wanted to go find Samuel Chalmers to reason with him, but then saw Scarlett suddenly wink at him.

She looked at him, then at the room, and then gave him a reassuring look.

Before Dashiell could react, the sound of footsteps that had moved far away suddenly returned.

Samuel Chalmers stood under the eaves, looking at Scarlett Jennings, who was still sitting alone in the courtyard, his brows slightly furrowed, not understanding what kind of emotion this was.

He really did intend to go back to his room.

Yet with each step, the scene of her sitting alone in the courtyard to eat replayed in his mind, along with her words, that she could do it alone.

Samuel Chalmers suspected that the Vein Soul’s emotions were interfering, but he... was indeed affected.

So he came back.

Dashiell, seeing him return, brightened, turned to look at Scarlett Jennings, and saw her calmly wink at him. The young man was immediately excited, and without staying there, he turned to walk inside.

After just two seconds, half of his head popped out from the window at the other end of the corridor.

The next second, Shellback drove the Black Mist out, revealing half of a turtle’s head from behind his head.

Then Liora Gold and Araminta Gold, who knows from where, perched neatly on Dashiell’s head, watching the scene in the courtyard.

After returning to his original form, Samuel Chalmers no longer needed to eat like a human every day.

But since he sat down, he also started eating with Scarlett Jennings.

The meal was prepared in advance by Donovan Jennings’ chef for Scarlett Jennings, arranged by Dashiell. Not only was it beautifully plated, but the taste was superb.
