Philip noticed what she was thinking. He caressed her smooth black hair gently, as he used to. "Mel, it’s not your fault. It is my instinct to save you. Even if it happens again, I’ll make the same decision. I’m glad that you’re safe." Melody wiped away her tears. She couldn’t express her feelings at the moment. All she could think about was that Philip was alive, and that he was finally back.Philip took out a piece of tissue for her. Nodding, he said, "I’m back, Mel. I'm glad I can see you again."His eyes were full of deep tenderness, like a sea was trying to accommodate everything Melody had. Looking at Melody up close again, he was overwhelmed with a happiness he couldn’t describe. "You’re running the company very well now. Whenever I check the internet, everyone’s recommending the reality show launched by your company." Philip didn’t hide his admiration for her. "Mel, you did so much better than I thought."Philip was like a guiding light in her life, so Melody was ecstati
Under the special care of the medical staff and the director, Christopher's condition gradually improved.Luke was sincerely happy for him. "Mr. Bolton, it looks like you can be discharged soon."Christopher wasn’t too concerned about the improvement of his condition. He was still in confusion, and was far from happy. He took the warm water from the nurse, and drank it. Suddenly, he remembered something and stopped.That day, Talia confessed that she didn’t save him. Another girl carried him out in the fire. Who was that?Christopher's eyes flashed. "Luke. Go and investigate what happened at the fire scene thoroughly. I want to know everything, no matter the cost."Luke knew that Christopher took it seriously, so he acted quickly. "I’m on it, sir."Christopher rubbed his brows, upset. He fell asleep after lunch. When he opened his eyes again, it was already dusk.Dinner was light lean meat porridge and a few side dishes. While they were eating, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Thinking of that, Christopher felt a little irritated. He said coldly, "I'm tired. You may leave now."Olivia protested, "Hey, I’m not finished yet! Aren't you still eating—"Christopher ordered, "Luke."Luke understood immediately, and took them away. "Ma’am, Miss Williams. This way, please."Olivia was still mumbling, "You brat! You’re so impatient! Why can’t you listen to me? Humph…!"In contrast, Jasmine was much calmer. She said softly, "It's okay, Mrs. Olivia. We can come again."Olivia was very satisfied with Jasmine’s common sense. She took Jasmine by the hand, and said, "Don't worry, Chris is still ill. He’s not thinking straight. I’ll persuade him, and he’ll figure it out soon.”Jasmine smiled in acknowledgement. Before she was about to step out of the corridor, she turned back and took one last look at Christopher's ward.Ever since she was little, she always got what she wanted. Christopher was no exception.-Knowing that Philip was still alive, Melody was grea
They talked and laughed, but Levian felt as if he had been struck by lightning.The moment he saw Philip, his pupils contracted and trembled violently.Was this handsome gentleman really Philip?! Didn’t he die three years ago?Philip was once his best friend. Levian was so excited, that he shouted in surprise, "Philip?!"Walking forward in disbelief, he pressed Philip's shoulders and touched the latter up and down. He acted the same way Albert did upon seeing his brother.After confirming that Philip was real and not an illusion, Levian was overjoyed. "Philip, it's really you... It's really you! I'm not dreaming, am I?!"Philip chuckled. "Didn't you feel it? I’m warm.""Mel, when did you know this? Why didn't you tell me?" Levian asked.Levian was agitated, but this wasn’t the place to talk. Melody lowered her voice, "Lev, it's a long story. I'll tell you later."Levian was so excited to meet his friend again after three long years. His eyes were slightly red at this moment.
Although the meal was enjoyable, everyone had their own thoughts. As an insider, Levian’s feelings were even more complicated. When he saw that the eyes of the Scott brothers were all on Melody, he, as her cousin, was proud of her charm.Philip was his best friend and ex-brother-in-law, so Levian subconsciously favored him. He had taken good care of Melody from the beginning. If he and Melody renewed their relationship, Levian would be at ease.When Levian looked at Melody again, she treated the Scott brothers equally. It seemed to her, they were just fiends.In comparison, the way Melody looked at Amelia was much more affectionate. After dinner, the Scott brothers left without staying any longer. "Grandma, you’re a good cook. I’ll gain three pounds after this meal!"Albert had a silver tongue, and was very good at pleasing elders.Linette was pleased, and said smilingly, "Silly boy! You’re so tall, nobody would notice that! Do come again, and I’ll cook you more delicious food
After a brief break, the shoot officially began.The lighting and camera crew were all in position. At the director's cue, Leroy delivered his lines as instructed.Dressed in a fresh white outfit with a floral wreath, he resembled a deer in the forest, accentuated by his clear, wide eyes. He was incredibly enticing."Mirror lenses, the perfect combination of beauty and health."No one on set can find fault with Leroy, not even Melody.Leroy's growth was astonishing. In just a few months, he had been absorbing and accumulating experience like a sponge. Perhaps from spending so much time on stage, he no longer felt shy in front of the camera. His every move exuded a unique charm of his own."Excellent!" the director shouted, concluding the recording.Melody and Philip couldn't help but applaud.Philip chuckled. "He's well suited for this.""Yeah, he's a talented kid, but Albert deserves credit too," Melody admitted. "Without his strict training and guidance on control, Leroy wou
That day, almost everyone who turned on their phones caught sight of this trending topic—including Luke, who was keeping watch at the hospital.After Christopher finished lunch and rested in the ward, Luke wandered around the corridor for some fresh air. The overpowering smell of disinfectant made him uncomfortable.As soon as he unlocked his phone, his social notifications bombarded his screen.The trending topic's title was conspicuous. "The Behind-the-Scenes Staff of The Boys Are Here are Too Sweet!"Holding onto the belief that anything related to Nolan Enterprise wouldn't be wrong, Luke clicked on it. The moment he saw the picture, his heart skipped a beat.Though the woman's face wasn't fully visible, anyone familiar with her figure and demeanor could easily guess it was Melody!It wasn't the model, Albert, nor the heir from the Carter family. Melody was accompanied by a different unfamiliar man!The way they smiled at each other was beyond adorable.Luke's heart sank.
Philip stood in front of the car, dressed in a sharp gray-white suit that complemented his moonlit-like aura. Seeing Melody arrive, he gently took off his hat, just like a true gentleman."It's my honor to meet such a beautiful lady," he said.Melody was slightly surprised. "Why are you here?""To pick you up." Philip naturally opened the car door for her. "I was planning to go to the venue at this time anyway, so we can go together."With that settled, there was no need to call the driver.Melody instructed the maid to cancel the scheduled transportation. With Philip shielding the car frame, she slowly took her seat.He also got into the car afterward. As he caught a glimpse in the rearview mirror of her exposed fair neck and shoulders, he said gently, "This outfit suits you well."Melody didn't dwell on it, and just smiled. "This suit looks good on you, too."Philip slightly bowed at her complement. "As long as you like it."The two conversed casually. Philip was at ease, a
