Chapter 1607


    Seeing the pheasant, Ronald did not get his hopes up. In a forest full of weeds, it was an arduous


    task for two men to catch a winged pheasant. It wasn''t just difficult; it was near impossible.


    However, just as Ronald was pondering the matter, Levi suddenly lunged forward as quick as a


    sh. Ronald''s head was still in a whirl when Levi seeded in catching the pheasant.


    "Holy sh*t!"


    That was the power of love!


    To think that Young Master Brown will willingly throw himself into catching pheasants for Monique''s


    sake.


    If news of this spread, it would be hot gossip among their teammates.


    Ronald was stunned by Levi''s bravery. He was at loss of words for a few minutes until Levi flung the


    pheasant into his hands. "Kill the pheasant and roast it for Monique. Don’t mention that it was


    caught by me."


    Ronald grinned and teased, "Young Master Brown, you'' re the one who caught the pheasant, it will


    not be a good idea for me to take the credit. If you are concerned about Monique, just tell her


    directly. You don''t even have the guts to admit your feelings, how can you call yourself a man?"


    Levi was miffed and retorted indignantly, "When did I show the slightest hint of concern over the


    heartless woman?"


    Ronald chuckled. "All right, you are not concerned about her. I was wrong."


    Levi gave him a cold stare and warned, "Ronald, when have you be so talkative? Utter one


    more word and I''ll cut your tongue off."


    Ronald immediately took a few steps back before hemented, "I''ve always been talkative. Aren''t


    you aware of that?"


    Levi leveled a re at him. "Go!"


    Ronald asked, "Aren’t you going back?"


    Levi remarked, "Why are you bbering nonsense? I''ve instructed you to go back."


    He must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed today. What a temper!


    Ronald grumbled, but he did not dare to say it aloud. He returned to the campsite with the pheasant


    in his arms, leaving Levi alone. Levi mumbled grudgingly, "Damn it. It''s none of my business that


    Monique doesn''t have any appetite to eat seafood. Why should I care about her? Just let her starve


    to death."


    Nevertheless, he proceeded with the task. He quickly flung the lobster shells into the jungle and hid


    in the bushes. Although no pheasants emerged for a long time, he remained patient and continued


    waiting.


    Ronald returned to the campsite with the pheasant in his arms. In the exuberance of joy, he


    eximed, "Ladies, have a look at what I''ve caught."


    Upon hearing his voice, Monique and Cecil, who were chattering in muffled voices, turned around.


    When they saw the pheasant in his arms, their face lit up and they looked at him in admiration. Cecil


    eximed, "Wow, Ronald, you are impressive! You''ve managed to catch a pheasant within a short


    time."


    "Yes, I''m amazing..." Ronald felt a little guilty when he bragged as the pheasant was not caught by


    him. Sooner orter, everyone will know the truth. Hence, he confessed, "I didn''t catch the


    pheasant. It was caught by Young Master Brown."


    "Humph..." Cecil snorted and rolled her eyes. "I knew it. Since when have you be so skilled at


    catching pheasants with your bare hands? Even if you don''t admit it, I know without a doubt that it


    was caught by Young Master Brown."


    Ronald said indignantly, "Cecil, don''t you dare look down on me. Am I really that incapable?"


    "It''s not that you aren''t incapable, but youck motivation, unlike Young Master Brown." There was


    a twinkle in her eyes when she said that and she motioned Ronald to look at Monique. "Ronald, you


    should understand. I don''t need to exin further."

    Ronald nodded repeatedly and responded, "I understand."


    Monique was perplexed and stared at them with astonishment. "Why are you looking at me like


    this? What did I miss out on?"


    Cecil huddled closer to Monique, curiosity on her face as she asked, "Monique, what are your


    opinions regarding this matter?"


    Ronald was also burning with curiosity. He hoped that Monique would shower Levi with praises.


    Levi would be on cloud nine if she praised him.


    Monique stated in a matter-of-fact tone, "He''s sick of seafood, therefore he went to catch a


    pheasant. What else should I think?"


    Hearing what she said, Cecil was disappointed and her face fell. "Forget it. You are so dull-witted.


    There''s no point exining it to you."


    "I won''tment on the matter either. Some things can''t be rushed, it depends on those involved,"


    Ronald responded while preparing to roast the pheasant. "Cecil, lend me a hand. Let''s prepare a


    roasted pheasant for Mrs. Brown."


    Hearing what he said, Monique was flustered. "Ronald, you are pulling my leg. Don''t joke around. I


    don''t want to be involved in any misunderstandings. I may be unskilful, but I know my ce."


    Well, who was Levi Brown?


    He was the only son of the colonel of the Chatterton Town military. Everyone knew that one day, he


    would take over his father''s position. A man of his status would already have a fiancee arranged by


    the Brown family. Others couldn’t possibly have a chance.


    Monique was well aware of their difference in social status. Aside from that, she had no feelings


    towards him. It was out of the question. No matter how outstanding he was, he would never belong


    to her.


    There were colleagues and worked on the same team. Whether they want it or not, they would meet


    each other very often. If such rumours spread, not only would Levi look at her with disdain, she


    would also feel ufortable around him. Therefore, Monique said solemnly, "Cecil and Ronald, I


    am being serious here. It'' s impossible between us. Don''t joke around anymore. I will never fall for


    him, ever..."


    Someone snickered. They spurned around and saw Levi holding another pheasant in his hand. He


    steely eyes darkened and his expression turned stony as he said in a depreciatory voice, "Monique,


    do you think that I will have any interest in you, again?"


    Monique did not mean that, but she was at a loss to exin. Hence, she stood there awkwardly,


    remaining silent.


    Cecil and Ronald immediately stepped forward and attempted to resolve the misunderstanding.


    "Young Master Brown, don’ t take this the wrong way. She did not mean it. We were teasing her,


    therefore she made that statement. It’s all a misunderstanding. Please calm down."
