Melody put down the small silver key and turned for a closer look—Facebook was just getting lively, with Digby's scandal topping the first three spots in trending searches.After the video of Digby and Elvira surfaced, Megan demanded a divorce and a direct settlement.The social media site was now a court as the pair argued relentlessly!Digby: [She psychologically abused me over the years, and any man who's lost his dignity would have impaired judgment when they're outside. I'm loyal to my family, but she's heartless!]Megan: [Shut up! You're cheating and you'd still make excuses for yourself?! Would I snap at you if you weren't so incompetent that you can't even make money or take care of the children? And you're demanding me to be at your beck and call after all that? Dream on!]"Pfft. Excuses—men who can't keep it in their pants are all rotten!"Melody sneered as she read the comments—Digby was the one cheating, but he somehow blamed it on his wife. It was impressive what che
Smiling, Levian pinched Melody's cheek and said, "Don't worry. Just spend some quality time with the boy—I have stuff to do at my club, so I'm leaving."Melody saw him off exasperatedly and drove to Albert's workplace.The man hurried into his car, looking as happy as a labrador when he saw her."Mel!"Melody patted his head. "How's work? A Massican restaurant just opened on West Street and the reviews are good. Why don't we try it?""Actually, I'll pass." Albert blinked at her, leaning against the car door. "Let's take a stroll down Gastro Lane. Reviews on Facebook say there are plenty of stalls offering delicious food there."Melody raised a brow. "You'd rather eat street food?""Yeah. Work's been busy, so it's either food prepared by the event organizers or from some restaurant from a nearby mall. I've really had enough of fine dining and would rather have something else."He was a manchild to the core and wanted to escape the constricting rules of showbiz whenever he could.
Sandy was thrilled to take a photo with Albert, and it was not until afterward that she noticed Albert kept sliding peeks to the side.She followed his gaze and was soon stunned.The woman was tall and slender, her bare long neck showing the fairness of her skin. Even though she was wearing casual streetwear, there was a youthful beauty about her.Even with her baseball cap lowered, it was not hard to see how beautiful she was!Sandy paused just then and asked Albert softly, "I-Is she your girlfriend?""Hmm?" Albert then realized Sandy had noticed Melody's presence and beamed at Sandy in turn. "You can tell?"Sandy glanced between them. Seeing that they were dressed in the same style of clothes and bearing such divine good looks, she became dead sure, "Oh, of course! Even your caps are from a couple's set, you know?"Albert was grinning from ear to ear and turned toward Melody with a sparkly expression. Melody was left hiding her face behind her palm from the fangirl's wild
While Christopher was sulking, Albert was on cloud nine after managing such intimate skin contact with Melody.There was hiding the dazzling smile on his face, and he would be skipping around if he was not careful about keeping up appearances with his fans there with them. When he got closer, he picked the faint sweet scent of her body. It was not particularly strong, but it still tempted one to inhale it further as their heart raced—a sensation Albert had never experienced.He found it a tender, beautiful moment that he would hold in his memory forever.Sandy worked fast too—she loved capturing moments in her life with the instant camera she always carried with her.She soon produced a photo, and Albert was smiling as soon as she saw one. "Can you give me all the photos you have?"Sandy happily agreed to it, and Albert was soon pocketing the photos of multiple angles and perfect lighting. Then, he quickly said goodbye. "Thank you, but I'm going to have lunch now. See you girl
Melody frowned. "Why don't you listen to yourself, Mr. Bolton? Also, I'm having dinner with my friend, and you're telling me not to get upset when you've barged in like you did?"Seeing that Melody was angry, Albert moved over to her side protectively."You heard her, Mr. Bolton," he said quietly and threateningly. "You're not welcome here, so don't bother us during our lunch.Even from the doorway, Luke could feel the heat from the dick-measuring contest between the two men, which was just stopping short of blowing up.Christopher folded his arms before his chest. Though he was sitting, his presence was no less imposing even though Albert was standing.His expression was cool, but his demeanor was relaxed, even elegant.He looked up, as if finally seeing Albert—his gaze was dark but he exuded an overwhelming pressure, a body language honed from years of power play."Albert, was it? I've seen the internet drama—thank you for defending my wife." He spoke those last two words so
"That's right!" Luke nodded repeatedly before sighing and hurrying after Christopher. "Everything I said is true. Just think about it for a moment."Melody was speechless, pursing her lips.Her eyes were narrowed and her thoughts impassive.Albert looked on, his expression stiffening as his knuckles clenched.So that was why Melody suddenly invited him out for lunch—she was thanking him for what was happening online.Regrettably, he was not the one who did. And to make things worse, Melody was always too kind for her own good. Even if Christopher's effort might not prompt her to have a change of heart just yet, she just might be moved toward that end.Walking up and breaking the silence, he said, "I didn't know you misunderstood, Mel—I wasn't thinking when you invited me out for lunch… I should have asked.""Oh, it's not your fault. I was the one who misunderstood." Melody rubbed her temples as she came to her senses and pulled out a chair while flashing a smile at Albert. "Don'
Melody was always gifted in reading people, not to mention that children were incapable of hiding their thoughts.Therefore, Melody could immediately tell that Amelia was wary against her and not the unfamiliar surroundings.And considering that Evelyn brought Amelia here, Melody understood immediately.Evelyn must have badmouthed her plenty.Still, she did not go on the warpath right away since they were in a child's presence. Pointing at the couch, Melody gestured for Amelia to sit on the couch, but the child did not move.Melody did not get upset, however, and instead flashed a warm smile and asked, "Aren't you hungry after a long flight, Amy? I have plenty of good food here. What would you like?"Children would always be children. With Melody's tender demeanor and gentle coaxing, Amelia was immediately drawn to her.Pursing her lips in thought, she said quietly, "I-I want cake.""No problem," Melody replied and promptly had a servant fetch a mango layer cake and a strawbe
A child's mind is quite simple—when the word 'beat' is mentioned, they would immediately think of a fist fight.On the other hand, Evelyn's plans were more sinister. "It's easy—I can teach you. Since Melody isn't worried about you, you just have to be a good girl and be her friend. Eventually, I'll give you a pack of laxatives, and you just have to put it in her cup without her noticing."Amelia was shocked. "Laxatives?!""Yes," Evelyn replied, perfectly calm. "Don't worry—we're punishing a bad person, and she would be too weak to bully you. You're the only one I can trust, Amy. Do you promise to help?"Evelyn made her face droop, appearing vulnerable and miserable.Amelia nodded tamely right then. "Okay, Evelyn!""Good girl!" Evelyn exclaimed, giving Amelia candy after achieving her objective and leaving her to her devices.Evelyn looked out the window, her eyes flashing with savagery.'Hah! Just you wait, Melody! You're not getting out of this!'Evelyn had decided to properl
Luna nodded solemnly.Levian smiled, and rubbed her head. "Thanks for considering. I appreciate it."He took out his phone, and typed something.Luna watched curiously, and leaned forward to take a look. She was stunned when she saw that he had posted their photo on Facebook.She said quickly, "Delete it before they see it!"She regretted telling him that.Levian put the phone back into his pocket, and hugged her. "Everything's going to be fine. Don't worry."Luna understood his intentions, and said nothing."I promised you I'll never let you down. That's not the reason for you to be my secret lover. I don't have to please my fans. I'm rich. I'm a professional racer, not a gigolo."Levian words sounded so sincere, Luna was touched. She raised her head to look at him, stood on tiptoes, and kissed his lips.Levian was stunned. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled. "You amaze me, Luna.""Huh?" Luna looked at him confusedly."You’re brave enough to kiss me now."She blush
The sales assistant grabbed the old lady’s hand, and demanded, "You must pay for this dress!"Levian grabbed the sales assistant's wrist, and threw her to the side. The sales assistant staggered a few steps away due to the force."That’s not how you should talk to an elder."Luna stood before the old lady, and looked at the sales assistant coldly.The commotion attracted the crowd. The sales assistant looked panicky."It’s none of your business!" the sales assistant yelled, staring angrily at Luna and Levian.Luna blocked the old lady from the sales assistant's sight.The sales assistant observed them, and said sarcastically, "Tourists, huh? Mind your own business."Levian stared coldly at her. The sales assistant was frightened by Levian’s gaze."It seems your parents didn't teach you good manners. I don't mind teaching you today," he said coldly.The sales assistant shuddered. She had seen all kinds of people in the store, and could feel the pressuring aura of Levian.Her
Luna and Levian saw him, and smiled.After noticing their gaze, McCain's expression returned to normal. He walked toward them casually."Luna, did you sleep well last night?" he asked with a gentle smile.Luna was disgusted by his smile, and responded coldly, "Yeah."Levian grinned playfully, and said, "How about you? You looked tired."McCain’s smile froze. He looked a little panicky, and made an excuse to leave. "It's almost time. Let's find our seats."He left quickly afterward.Luna stared at him coldly. McCain looked weird to her."Why are you staring at him? Charmed?" Levian asked. He seemed jealous.Luna looked at Levian, and smiled, "Yeah, by you."Levian’s smile widened.McCain left the building and called Matt, but Matt didn’t answer. He gripped the phone, tightly and cursed under his breath.-A spotlight shone on a man, who walked to the stage under applause.Luna also clapped."That’s Gerald Bell, the president of Bell Group, the leading Group in Franconia,"
Luna opened the door, and saw Levian leaning against the door frame with a helpless expression."What's wrong?"Levian shrugged. "The door lock of the smaller bedroom is broken. I can't get in."Luna glanced at the smaller bedroom, then looked at Levian suspiciously. "You didn't break it, right?"Levian immediately retorted, "Of course not!"Luna stared at him doubtfully.Levian touched his nose, and said in disappointment, "I'll take the sofa, then."Luna pondered, and whispered, "The master bedroom is enough for both of us."She couldn’t bear to let Levian sleep on the sofa in the living room. Besides, she trusted him.Levian smiled, lowered his head, and kissed her forehead. "Thanks, Luna."Luna blushed, and her heartbeat accelerated. She was curious, how did Levian know that?Levian put his arm on Luna's shoulders, and entered the master bedroom."You go take a shower first," he offered."Okay."Luna walked to the bathroom with her clothes. Not long after, the sound o
Benito looked at Juan, and winked at his subordinates. His subordinates walked toward the Hellers."I want to know who sent them," Benito commanded in a deep voice.The Hellers were terrified, and spilled everything.One of Benito's subordinates walked to Benito. He nodded politely to Levian, and reported in a low voice, "A man named McCain sent them."Levian's expression changed.He knew it!"What should we do with them?" Benito's subordinate asked.Benito looked at Levian, and asked, "Levian, what do you say? I can keep McCain under custody.""Teach them a lesson, and make them cooperate," Levian said with a dangerous grin. "As for McCain, I have a plan for him."He looked at Luna in the car. McCain would never take the risk if he actually had feelings for Luna and cared for her. He wondered if he was McCain's target, or if this had something to do with the business summit."Okay," Benito said. He turned around and commanded his subordinates, "Take care of them and make the
The cemetery was ahead."Levy, they slowed down," Luna said. She frowned, confused.Levian quickly turned the steering wheel, and made an emergency 180-degree turn.Luna quickly grabbed her seat belt and closed her eyes after seeing the bright lights from the car tailing them. She then looked at Levian in confusion, wondering what he was up to.She was terrified when she saw Levian drive toward that car. They were going to collide! Suddenly, she heard a sharp friction sound, and both cars passed by each other.Levian turned the steering wheel again and circled around that car.He smiled and assured Luna, "Don't be afraid, Luna. Everything will be fine. Trust me."Immediately, Luna was calm.The driver of the car tailing them seemed irritated by Levian's provocation; he sped up, and tried to slam into their car.Levian grinned; he sped up as well, and drove away from that car.The driver seemed to realize something; he quickly slowed down, and turned around to drive out of the
Luna carefully poked Levian's arm.He grabbed her hand, and quickly pulled her toward him, "I'm your boyfriend."He gritted his teeth. No one knew how much he wanted to punch McCain when he saw that slimeball approaching Luna.Luna grinned, amused. "He's just a friend. You're my sweetheart."Levian was the best! No one deserved her attention except him.Hearing that, Levian was pleased and smiled. He put his hand against Luna's palm, their fingers intertwined.The driver suddenly braked when passing through an alley, and their bodies leaned forward."What happened?" Luna asked. She looked anxiously at Matt, the local driver she and Levian hired."Something ran through just now," Matt explained while unbuckling his seat belt. "I wonder what that was."He left the car and walked around.Luna heard a meowing, and saw a black cat pass by. She pointed in the direction, and asked, "Was it that cat?"Matt looked in the direction of her finger. "I don't see any cat. Probably a stray
Levian looked handsome and gentle under the spotlight. He took the microphone, and said slowly, "It's my honor to deliver my speech today. This summit brings together business talents from all over the world..."Levian kept his eyes on Luna as he spoke, and she concentrated on his speech.They noticed each other's gaze, and smiled.McCain tried to chat with Luna but noticed her gaze. He bit his lip, jealous. He quickly took his phone, and showed it to Luna, "Hey, Luna, I found the emails."Luna was too focused on Levian's speech, so McCain’s interruption annoyed her. She grabbed it, and read the emails. While Luna was reading the email, McCain looked at Levian and smirked. Levian's expression changed, and he spoke faster.Luna briefly read two emails. They were McCain's remarks about music, and how much he missed her. She breathed a sigh of relief when she didn’t find any confession.Still, she was a bit moved by the memories. She returned the phone to McCain, and said, "Than
Levian and Luna turned around, and saw a tall man with blond hair and blue eyes."You look so beautiful today! It took me a while to recognize you."He observed Luna as he spoke.Luna frowned, uncomfortable with his gaze, and asked politely, "Do you know me?"That man was a stranger to her."Oh, don't you remember me?" The man clutched his chest as if he was hurt, and sighed. "I'm McCain. We were in the same music camp for three months, when you were seventeen."Luna thought for a while, and finally remembered him. She nodded, and smiled politely. "Oh, yes. It’s nice to meet you again.""I'm so glad I come. It's good to see you again." McCain smiled happily.Levian stared at McCain with a frightening expression that hinted at anger.Music camp, huh?He could sense McCain's intention.Luna noticed Levian's expression, and said to McCain politely, "The party is about to start. Let's take our seats."She wanted to leave, but McCain blocked her way. "I missed you so much. I l
