Clearly, his heart had been burning with passion for her from the beginning.Melody had reached a point where she couldn't hear any words anymore. Feeling a coolness, she nuzzled her cheek into his palm. She was soft and docile, resembling a little kitten.Albert couldn't suppress the burning passion in his heart any longer. He gazed lovingly at her soft, moist, petal-like lips, almost devoutly desiring to give her a kiss. Even if it was just one kiss, it would be enough.Just as Christopher was about to go look for Melody after settling down Sophia, he happened to pass by this scene. Through the partially open door, he saw Albert cradling Melody's face, appearing to engage in an inappropriate act.Without a second thought, he dashed over, grabbed the back of Albert's collar, and slammed the latter hard against the wall. Albert was taken by surprise, and winced in pain.When he raised his eyes and saw that it was Christopher, his anger flared up. "What the hell are you doing?!"R
Luke glanced at him, and just nodded in agreement. As he left the office, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. They had only recently finished a meeting—there couldn't be that much business to discuss so soon!It was probably just an excuse to go see Melody. Christopher Bolton, the CEO of Bolton Enterprise, was truly smitten.When Christopher arrived at the Nolan Enterprise, Jenson entered Melody’s office to announce, "Ms. Nolan, the CEO of the Bolton Enterprise wishes to see you."Melody raised her eyebrows. The person who had hurt her employee was audacious enough to come see her?"Tell him I won't see him," she stated firmly.Jenson paused and added, "He said it's to discuss the progress of the silk hand embroidery project. There are still some unresolved issues from before."The mention of the project made her waver slightly. Considering that Christopher was the one who invested the most and their cooperation was not to be taken lightly, she pondered for a moment. "…Let hi
"Today, I'll spare you for now. But if you ever dare make any moves again…" Melody pointed to the bright sunlight outside the window. "Do you see that? The sun is shining brightly, isn't it?"Queta was puzzled as to why Melody suddenly brought up the weather. She stared, feeling that this woman was strange and terrifying."If you're dishonest, I guarantee you won't see such beautiful sunshine tomorrow."Melody spoke firmly; Queta had already become weak and terrified, unable to speak."Take her away," Melody said, her expression filled with disgust.As Queta was being dragged away by the security personnel, Levian's frowning expression didn't ease. "Mel, you absolutely can't trust this woman! Things aren't as simple as they seem."Their opinions aligned; Melody nodded, saying, "I know, but we can't force her to talk right now. It's a waste of time. We need to come up with a different approach."While the two siblings discussed their next steps, Albert watched from the side. His
Melody looked charming and lovely, absolutely beautiful.Christopher was momentarily stunned as he stared at her picture. He remembered the misunderstandings and distrust he had encountered during the day, and a surge of anger welled up within him. He replied irritably, "I'm not coming!"Ethan couldn't help but laugh. "Well, I did my duty in telling you, and you chose not to come. Since you're not coming, I'll have a one-on-one conversation with her. No one will interrupt us."Christopher was such a stubborn man!On the other end, his face turned even darker. He clenched his phone, releasing the frustration he had suppressed all afternoon.—"Mel, this one is strawberry-flavored!" Amelia finally got her hands on the cotton candy she had been longing for. She smiled sweetly. "You should have a bite too."Melody didn't want to refuse Amelia’s kindness, so she took a small bite. "Mmm, delicious."The two of them chatted animatedly, thinking about which ride they should try next.
Nina returned with Amelia, and Ethan introduced Christopher to her briefly. "This is my good friend, the CEO of Bolton Enterprise, Christopher Bolton.""Christopher, this is Nina Young, also my friend."Christopher nodded indifferently in acknowledgment, but Nina’s gaze on him grew much hotter, showing her clear interest in him.Ethan suggested, "Since we're all here, why don't we play together?"So, the five of them wandered through the amusement park. The presence of the attractive young men and women grabbed the attention of other park visitors.Ethan and Christopher kept a watchful eye on Melody, but she was completely engrossed in Amelia.She held the little one close. "Amelia, what else would you like to play?"Amelia, who had a tough upbringing while being raised by her father, had never visited an amusement park before. After looking around and not finding something suitable, she said, "Um... I haven't decided yet."The others continued walking, waiting for Amelia to ma
Ethan naturally took the role of team leader, and led Nina and Amelia to their destination. They pushed open the door, revealing an ancient, quaint room. Everything was set up like a typical household, except for an exquisite shrine at the front. On a mahogany altar, there were offerings of fruits and melons, and on both sides were elaborate yellow and black couplets like spells.However, there was nothing on the altar—not a single statue or figurine.Nina shivered as soon as she entered, huddling behind Ethan. "Goodness, it's so cold in here! I'm getting goosebumps."Ethan patted Amelia's back and, while comforting her, he said curiously, "It's strange. It looks like they're worshiping some deity here, but there's no statue."Amelia, sheltered in Ethan's arms, felt safer, and asked, "What's a statue?"Ethan explained in simple terms, "It's the sculpture you see in temples, the one people worship. That's what a statue is."Amelia suddenly realized something. "Then why isn't the
Bloody Ruby looked at them for a while and said, "I think you two look great together. The greatest thing I can hope for in my life is to see two lovers get together. I can let you go if you kiss in front of me for thirty seconds. After that, I will go for reincarnation."Melody frowned. "What kind of scary request is this?"She was already dead but still dying to act as a matchmaker. No wonder she could be deceived so easily, she was a hopeless romantic.Bloody Ruby replied innocently, "I am a ghost, my request should be scary."Melody was dumbfounded.What she did not know was that Ethan had ordered the couple's set menu when he reserved the tickets. So the female ghost thought that she had saved a couple from their relationship crisis and secretly rejoiced at her achievement.It was a sin to destroy a marriage! "Come on, quick," urged Bloody Ruby.Christopher was not against the request. In fact, he thought that it was rare to find such a sensible and insightful staff mem
"There are too many people during the day, I can't bring you out. Anyway, I know someone in the company. I will ask a favor from her to find a way to get you out of there tonight."Talia, who felt as if she were in the rough seas, teared up for finally being able to get hold of a life-saving float. "Really? That's great! I will wait for your good news, Aunt."Suddenly, there was the rustling of footsteps outside the door, and Talia hurriedly said, "I can't talk anymore. Someone is coming. I will hang up first, and we will keep in contact by text message!"She tidied her clothes and checked her makeup before walking out in a calm demeanor.A colleague behind her derided, "Why is someone dressing up every day? I wonder who she is trying to seduce. What a slut!"Talia had heard it clearly since she had not gone far, but she pretended as if she heard nothing and remained quiet.Each day she spent in this company felt like a year. All the colleagues were harsh and always ridiculed h
