Chapitre 58: Wanda In Black Silk Stockings, Ch 29.2
Wanda could no longer contain her joy; her little feet were swinging even more vigorously. At that moment, she felt less like the near-invincible Scarlet Witch and more like a young girl.
[Wanda]: How about the night after tomorrow? Let's go out for dinner?
Wanda quickly typed on her phone and sent the message. She chose the night after tomorrow because she had a press conference to attend the next day; otherwise, she wouldn't want to wait even a moment longer.
[Hode]: No problem, see you the day after tomorrow, my little witch.
"YES!" Wanda clenched her fist, letting out a joyful shout. The day after tomorrow, she would get to see Hode. After looking at Hode's photo one last time, she reluctantly set her phone aside. But unlike earlier, she fell asleep feeling utterly satisfied.
Should I confess to Hode… pour my heart out to him…?
This was Wanda's last thought before drifting off to sleep. Meanwhile, Hode also put his phone down. After a long, busy day, it was time for him to rest well. He had promised to accompany Gwen tomorrow to visit her father.

The Next Morning
Ding-dong~
The brass bell on the oak door of the English-style cafe in New York jingled gently. A familiar figure entered the cafe.
"Hode, my dear old friend, I've missed you so much!"
Seeing Hode, Uncle Krew, who was wiping down a table, greeted him joyfully.
"Uncle Krew, I see you don't miss me but rather my money!"
Hode sat down in his usual chair, teasingly replying.
"How could you say that? I find you quite an entertaining person." Uncle Krew laughed off Hode's teasing, waving his hand dismissively. "What would you like to drink today?"
"Same as always."
Hode replied casually.
In no time, Uncle Krew placed a cup of Blue Mountain coffee in front of Hode.
[Ding! You have tasted premium Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee!]
[Reward earned: $100,000!]
Meanwhile, the television mounted on the wall was broadcasting news.
[Last night, news broke that the underground emperorKingpin was severely injured in an attack!]
[Our station is continuing to follow this event closely!]
"The media today is really bold; they dare to slanderKingpin? Who in New York has the guts to touch him?" Uncle Krew grumbled while stroking his bushy beard.
"Underground emperor…"
Hode glanced at the news before shifting his focus back to the swirling coffee.
"You think it's unreasonable too, right?"
Uncle Krew returned to the counter, his voice booming with laughter.
Hode smiled but didn't say anything, occasionally glancing out the door.
It wasn't until a beautiful figure appeared outside the window that he stopped stirring his spoon.
Ding-ling!
As the oak door swung open, sunlight flooded into the cafe, and the lively figure walked in. It was Gwen, dressed in a light-colored plaid coat that exuded classic British flair. The scent of orange from her perfume lingered in the air as she hurried over to Hode.
"Mr. Hode."
Gwen flashed a smile at Hode as she greeted him.
