Albert took a few steps forward, and walked to Melody. "Stop trying to sow discord between us. What makes you think I'll betray her for you?"Melody blinked, surprised.Did Lant threaten Albert?Seeing Lant's shocked face, Albert smiled and recounted what happened before. "You may not have expected it, but I sent someone to contact Christopher and told him all your plans. "He looked at Melody again, his eyebrows drooping—he looked a little pitiful. "Mel, sorry for not telling you the truth. I don't want you to worry."Seeing his aggrieved look, Melody felt a little relieved. Albert, who once needed to be taken care of, could take care of himself now.Christopher pursed her lips and stood calmly before Melody, blocking Albert's affectionate gaze.Lant looked at Albert, dumbfounded.So, they were in a league together? He was the one who fell into their trap?Lant’s psyche collapsed.When they weren’t paying attention to him, he rushed toward Melissa. Since he had met a dead en
Cyril shook his head with a sigh. "I’ve done too many bad things back then. I didn't want to get you involved, so I left. I'm sorry.""I was pregnant when you left me!" Melissa growled."What?!" Cyril looked at her in confusion.They had a child? That was something he had never imagined.Cyril looked at Leroy standing next to Melissa, and asked nervously, "Melissa… Is it him…?"Melissa wiped away her tears, and gently pulled Leroy closer to Cyril. "Roy, this is your father."Looking at Cyril, Leroy suddenly didn’t know what to say. His eyes were wandering. He didn’t know how to face a father he had never met.Leroy opened his mouth, but the sound of "Dad" was stuck in his throat. He couldn’t voice it out.Cyril was upset to see Leroy's reaction. He curled his lips, and laughed self-deprecatingly. "I was so wrong! It's all my fault!"He sighed at the ceiling, and a tear slowly slipped from the corner of his eye."Cyril, I'm happy enough to see you alive," Melissa looked at C
Christopher narrowed his eyes and smiled gently, looking at her with a burning gaze.Melody couldn’t stand his gaze, so she warned, "Hey, we're in front of the police station."Christopher let go of her and stood aside like a good boy."Let's go. Drive me home." Melody's eyes hinted at reluctance.Christopher blinked a few times, and smiled. "I have a gift for you. Come to my place first."Melody met his gaze. His eyes were so hot, he seemed to want to swallow her alive. She wanted to agree, but hesitated after seeing his gaze."What are you afraid of? I won't eat you."Christopher’s eyes drooped, and he looked a little upset.Melody nodded. "Okay."She turned around and walked toward his car. She didn’t see him smiling at his success.The car stopped at the entrance of the Bolton Manor.They walked into the manor side by side. There was a muffled sound behind them as Christopher closed the door."What gift...mm..."Before Melody could finish her words, she was pressed aga
After Melody dressed, she went to Nolan Enterprise.She walked in casually as usual, but she was keenly aware of the employees' eyes on her and their unexplained smiles."Ms. Nolan, someone just sent a bouquet for you. It's on your desk," the receptionist said with a smile.Melody nodded.She pushed open the office door and immediately closed it as soon as she entered. Taking out her phone, and took a careful look at her neck. She was relieved when she found no suspicious red marks on it.She put her phone back, and looked at the gigantic bouquet on the table.Was it from Christopher?Melody walked over doubtfully. The flowers were delicate and beautiful, with crystal clear water droplets rolling on the petals and a light fragrance. She noticed a card on top of the flowers.'Wish you a happy day.'She saw Albert's signature on the card. It was from him.Melody looked at the bright red rose bouquet thoughtfully, and frowned. She took out her phone, and called Albert.Albert p
Luke drove Christopher to Bolton Enterprise.He glanced in the rearview mirror, and was surprised when he saw the raised corners of Christopher's lips. Christopher seemed to be in a good mood, which was very rare!The car soon arrived at Bolton Enterprise.Christopher came out of the car. His shiny leather shoes were glowing under the sunlight, and he exuded a strong aura that was reduced slightly by his gentle expression.When the employees in the lobby saw Christopher, they immediately came over and greeted him respectfully, "Good morning, Mr. Bolton!""Good morning." Christopher nodded, and responded to them with a smile.The employees looked at him in shock and horror, as if they had heard the shocking news that caused their heartbeat to accelerate.Christopher looked so unusual!They began to worry whether it was the calm before the storm.Christopher walked toward the elevator, smiling all the way. Melody's reaction put him in a good mood, and his unusual behavior pani
Melody got off the plane with her suitcase in hand. Her sunglasses were pushed to the top of her head, revealing her beautiful eyes. Her long, silky hair billowed freely in the wind. She wore a leather skirt that revealed her attractive figure. She took out her phone to tell Christopher she had landed safely. When she clicked on their chat interface, she realized they hadn’t contacted each other for three days.The last message was sent by Christopher, but because she had been busy at work, she forgot to reply.It was strange for Christopher to not contact her for so long, considering his affection for her.Did something happen to him?Melody panicked. The phone rang for a long time, until it was automatically hung up. When she called several times but couldn’t get through, she quickly dialed Luke."Luke, what happened to Christopher? Why didn't he answer my call?""Mr. Bolton is at South Bay Castle now. Miss Nolan, please come over quickly." Luke's anxious voice came from the
"I didn't expect Mel to end up with Christopher again. That's what we call fate."Relatives and friends talked about what happened between Melody and Christopher. As they furthered, the conversation turned to Luna and Levian."Levian, Mel’s married. How about you?"Listening to their banter, Luna and Levian looked at each other, and blinked. Luna's cheeks were slightly hot. Weddings were what every girl longed for, and she was no exception.She looked at Melody on the stage, who was smiling happily. Her smile was contagious, and the corners of Luna’s own lips lifted subconsciously.Levian stared at Luna intently. Although she was wearing a gray bridesmaid dress, she didn’t look gloomy. Instead, she looked elegant and refined. There was a slight redness on her fair face.He knew she was feeling shy again, like always. He wondered what would happen if he proposed to her now.But he didn’t put it into action, as he knew he shouldn’t do it today. A once-in-a-lifetime event must be p
Una opened the door of her daughter's room. "Luna, Mel's here." Luna ran out immediately, filled with joy.Una shook her head helplessly.The little Melody, wearing a suspender skirt, was sitting on the sofa while waiting for her best friend. When she heard the sound of hurried footsteps, she turned her head. The next second, someone hugged her."Mel, I missed you so much!" Luna said, longing written all over her face.Although they were the same age, Melody looked much more mature than her."I miss you too." Melody smiled, two light dimples swirling at the corners of her mouth.They went to Luna's room to play.Melody took a small card from her pocket, and handed it to Luna, "Luna, Lev's birthday party is tomorrow. Will you come?"She blinked a few times, her eyes flashing with anticipation.Those invited to Levian's birthday party were all born into wealthy families. They were pampered children with the temperament of princes and princesses.Melody disliked them all. She
