Chapter 1284 Resentful Energy
With that, Wynter told Dalton the story about a person who had plenty of friends in his youth but only truly liked one person.
Dalton’s tone was somewhat indifferent. “I also use the internet. Usually, when someone says ‘I have a friend,‘ they’re talking about themselves. So, what does this have to do with the Darnell family?”
Wynter realized Dalton was good at many things except imagining situations. “Just put yourself in their shoes. Imagine yourself loving someone you can’t have.”
At that moment, Dalton recalled something. On a certain mountain, Wynter had always liked delicate and fair people, so he wasn’t her type at all.
With a snap, the black feather pen in his hand broke. This made the two people standing beside him tremble even more violently.
Dalton scoffed and chuckled dryly.
Wynter didn’t understand why he suddenly gave her a cold laugh out of nowhere. “Well, I suppose you wouldn’t have experienced unrequited love before.”
Realizing she couldn’t rely on him to put himself in Lucius‘ shoes, she explained the situation briefly.
Dalton adjusted the ring on his thumb before slightly raising his gaze at the two trembling men. His eyes were cold enough to send a shiver down their spines.
His tone, however, became more relaxed. “Your intuition is correct. Lucius has indeed been waiting for your mother to divorce. The Yarwood family intercepted this information when he had someone investigate your mother’s current situation.”

“So, it was you who intercepted.” Wynter understood most of the situation now. Then, she thought of something else. “Where are you?”
Dalton looked around. The room was pitch black, so dark that one couldn’t see their hand in front of their face. His handsome face
remained emotionless. “The hotel.”
“You seemed odd at the bar today,” Wynter said as she felt more and more drowsy. She knew she was tired but still wanted to clear up a few things. “Is there something there?”
Dalton didn’t deny it. “Yes. I’m investigating.”
“That’s good. It feels like too many things are happening all at once. I was worried I might have missed something. Thankfully, my mom gave me that financial statement…” Wynter’s voice grew fainter as she spoke.
Dalton had already long noticed the changes in Wynter’s body since she came to Hawford. He wondered if Wynter was affected because someone here was offering him sacrifices.
Listening to the sounds on the other end of the line, Dalton didn’t hesitate. With a wave of his hand, a black feather fell, and he instantly vanished from where he stood, leaving the two people beside him to breathe a heavy sigh of relief.
In almost the next instant, he appeared beside the bathtub. He supported the back of Wynter’s head with his palm, and his dark suit’s hard texture pressed against her softness. Dalton tensed, and his eyes darkened.
Wynter was completely unaware. Her slender and fair neck rested against his shoulder, the tear mole at the corner of her eye faintly visible. The black mist swirling behind her almost merged with her.
Recently, Wynter hadn’t been using Dalton’s fortune to break formations. With this in mind. Dalton raised his band summoning

red veil that draped over her slightly flushed, slender legs.
Without a word, he lifted her in a bridal style and placed her on the pristine white king–sized bed, observing her peaceful sleeping face
and familiar movements.
Dalton was reminded of the past when he often assisted her with her bath, though he was just one of her many boy toys then.
Resentful energies made people sleep more deeply, as each person had their own dreams. These dreams, whether good or bad, were inescapable and reflected the full range of human emotions and desires.
It might be dreams one didn’t want to wake up from, or it could be a nightmare of a most feared event. Sometimes, they could even, be memories buried deep within.
