Toby mentioned that Fox Eyes was the one who kidnapped Tina, and claimed that Fox Eyes was one of her suitors. Therefore, the profile picture of a fox at the end of the name list was sufficient as proof of the man’s identity.

“Fox Eyes?” The man chuckled. “So that’s how you refer to me. Not bad, I like it.”

 

Sonia frowned as soon as she heard his admission. “Fox Eyes, who are you?”

“I can’t tell you now, but you can rest assured that I will never hurt you. You’re my light, so I will commit my life to protecting you,” Fox Eyes replied in a gentle tone.

Realizing that he was being serious, Sonia blushed. Could he actually be my suitor?

As she pondered on the possibility, Fox Eyes spoke. “Alright, it’s getting late, so you should get some rest. I will contact you again. Goodbye!” With that, he cut the call.

 

While staring at the screen of her phone, Sonia swallowed the questions on the tip of her tongue. Fine. Since he told me he would contact me again, I’ll just ask him next time. But who is he anyway? He popped up out of nowhere, and had been so nice to me that it felt unreal.

The next day, Sonia was woken up by Charles’ phone call. “Darling, are you awake? I’m already downstairs.” Charles was leaning against his showy red sports car while raising his head to check out the building in front of him.
