Chapter 2054 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
âW-What!â
Dalenâs words surprised the few people standing there. It took them a moment to process the unexpected revelation.
Miles, who had been expressing his feelings, stood still with an awkward smile. His eyes widened, hands hovering in confusion.
How could that happen? Could it be that his daring rescue mission, intended for a damsel, was actually for a man?
âA man? Youâre⦠kidding, right?â The girl in red scrutinized Dalen with disbelief on her face. How could someone with such an attractive face be a man?
Crystal hesitated, mouth slightly agape, unsure of how to react.
So, the troublemakers from the Butcher Guild, who had caused a ruckus earlier, werenât harassing a woman but a man? This unexpected turn of events was truly one of a kind.
âIâm not kidding. Iâm a real gentleman, âDalen affirmed with a nod: Mistaking his identity wasnât new for him when he ventured outside.
The girl in red hesitated before stating, âBut your appearanceâ¦â
âIâve got a male body with a female appearance, canât do much about it.â Dalen shrugged, feeling somewhat helpless.
âWhat a shame.â The girl in red shook her head.
For him to have such a pretty face, wouldnât it be awesome if it were hers?
âMiles, whatâs wrong with you? Are you okay?â The girl in red patted Mileâs shoulder when she saw him still in a daze.
âWhat? Oh, Iâm fine, just⦠a bit surprised, thatâs all.â Miles quickly snapped out of his daze.
However, his gaze continued to size up Dalen, still finding it hard to believe that such a seductive and charming face belonged to a man. What a waste of beauty.
âHi, Iâm Dalen. Whatâs your name?â Dalen greeted, reaching out for introductions.
âIâm Crystal Wesley,â replied the woman in green, offering a friendly gesture.
âIâm Ruby Wesley.â The girl in red smiled sweetly. Although Dalen was a man, he still looked handsome.
âIâm Miles,â Miles greeted with a nod, his expression somewhat peculiar. Thoughts about the earlier incident still lingered in his mind.
âNice to meet all of you. Why donât we sit down and have a drink together?â Dalen invited, extending his hand.
He introduced, âThis is Dustin, and these two are his personal guardsâ¦â
Laurel and Willow stood up at the same time, introducing themselves.
âNice to meet you.â Crystal nodded, exchanging greetings.
âPlease, take a seat.â Dalen smiled faintly.
Then, he called out, âWaiter, bring us a few more bottles of good wine!â
Dalen was a typical outgoing man. Crystal and her companion carried out a heroic rescue, and that deed made a lasting impression on him.
