Chapter 420

Warren had come looking for Dwight, but he wasn’t expecting to find him with Halsey. When he saw her, his eyes went wide in surprise.

Halsey quickly pulled away from Dwight, feeling a bit embarrassed. She smiled at Warren and introduced herself.” Hi, I’m Halsey.”

Warren grinned. “Hi, nice to meet you. I’m Warren. Dwight you got a girlfriend?”

Dwight shook his head. “She’s not my girlfriend.

“I am!” Halsey said, smiling brightly.

Dwight gave her a look of disbelief.

Warren laughed. “Dwight, I thought you were going to die a lonely man. You never showed arry interest in girls before, but now I get it. It’s not that you weren’t interested, just that you had high standards and hadn’t found someone you liked. Halsey here–she’s way out of the league of the girls who used to chase you around!”

Dwight set the spatula down and looked at Warren. “Let’s talk outside.”

They stepped out into the yard, and Dwight said, “Alright, enough with the small talk. What did you come here for?”

Warren’s face grew serious. “You told me to keep an eye on Phantom–he’s here.”

Phantom was the notorious drug lord from years ago. Dwight’s father had worked as an undercover agent in his gang, but eventually, he was caught and killed by the drug lord.

Dwight had been searching for this man ever since, and now Phantom had resurfaced.

A cold wind blew through, making Dwight’s thin black T–shirt flap against his body. His eyes hardened with frost. “Got it.”

He turned to head back inside.

Warren stopped him. “Your girlfriend’s really pretty.”

Dwight pursed his lips. “She’s not my girlfriend.”

“Are you serious?” Warren raised an eyebrow, looking at Dwight. “We’ve known each other forever. If you didn’t like her, you wouldn’t have let her get this close. The only reason you’d let someone in that close is because you like them.”

Dwight didn’t respond immediately, his silence hanging in the air. After a few seconds, he finally spoke. “I can’t offer her a future, so there’s no point in starting anything. She’s from a good family.”

Warren chuckled. “Good family, pretty, sweet, and clingy. Are you sure you’re not into her? Honestly, you don’t have to be so hard on yourself. I can tell that girl’s crazy about you.”

Dwight’s expression remained neutral. “Go home.”

He then went back inside.

Halsey came out and asked, “Did Warren leave?”

Dwight nodded. “Yeah, he’s gone.”

Tina, who had been quietly watching, said, “Every time Warren comes over, he brings something but never stays

to eat.”

Dwight brought the dishes the table. “Let’s eat.”

Halsey sat down without hesitation, staying for dinner. Dwight had made braised ribs, one of Madeline’s favorite dishes.

He carefully picked up a piece of the ribs and placed it in Madeline’s bowl. Madeline smiled at him. “Thanks, Dwight.”
