Melody's driving was swift and effortless, and it did not take long for them to reach Nolan Manor. Amelia raced up to her as soon as the door opened. She exclaimed, "Mel, you're back!" The little girl had been in much better spirits recently. Her cheeks radiated a healthier glow, and she was no longer confined to her bed, now moving about with ease. Melody had been worried sick about her. At this point, she was finally able to relax. She hugged the little girl tightly, and her fingers brushed through the soft new growth of her hair. "Did you sleep well last night?" Melody inquired. Amelia nodded with a tiny smile on her face. She admitted, "I love your bed. It's so soft and comfortable. But it's just that I missed you a bit." Melody's heart warmed at the sight of Amelia's smiling and lively energy. She pinched her rosy cheek and reassured, "Well, I'm here now, right?" Together, they ascended the stairs, arm in arm. Leroy, witnessing this warm scene, did not disturb

The next day, the sun was shining through the windows of Nolan Enterprise's board room.Everyone should feel calm and at ease, but every board member was feeling grumpy instead, leaving the vibes in the room troubled.Dressed in a gray business suit and skirt, Melody had her hair tied up in a high ponytail, and she looked as beautiful as she was charismatic.Sitting at the long table, she stared at everyone, "I've distributed my report, and I've called everyone here to make an announcement. After the latest market survey, I will be—"Bang! The door suddenly opened violently, cutting her short. "Hold it!" Benjamin strode inside, his chest puffed confidently. "I must protest!"Melody furrowed her brow when she saw who it was—he still had the balls to show up?"Oh, Melody. I really have to lecture this time," he said, walking to the center of the room as if unperturbed by the awkwardness.Then, he began with the script he came up with beforehand, going on without pause as he le

Christopher hated the way Melody wanted to distance herself from him.Those lips were so red and moist—why were her words so harsh and cold?Snorting, he asked with a sneer, "So, you're getting real close with Albert Scott. Should I call you Mel like he does?"His demanding tone left Melody unsettled as she glared at him and retorted, "You have no right to pry into my private affairs. Stop meddling and show some respect!"He was crazy! She tried to push him away, but that only triggered Christopher's repressed rage.Frustrated and insecure, he was consumed by impulse as he sneered and grabbed her wrists, and he leaned in without hesitation to kiss her."Mmmph?!"Melody's eyes widened as their lips met, but her struggling and grunts of surprise were all flirting in Christopher's mind, tickling him like a feather. He could not help wanting more, forcing his way through her teeth and going deeper.How could he not know kissing her felt this good?Still, just as hormones flared,

Melody scanned the area and noticed that the place did seem quite deserted, which proved the girl's words to be true. Hence, she smiled softly and gave in. "Thank you then. My name is Melody Nolan, by the way."The young girl seemed overjoyed to have made such a beautiful friend. "My name is Charlotte McGee, but you can just call me Charlie. Let's go to my place now!"Charlotte seemed quite familiar with the area, so she was able to take a shortcut and arrive at their destination within ten minutes. They were now before an old and simple little yard, along with a three storey flat. The furnishing was simple yet tasteful, especially with the tiger engravings within the walls. It was exactly to her liking as well.Beyond the yard was the woman who saw Melody in the morning when she was washing clothes by the river. A hint of joy and surprise flashed through her eyes.She then started speaking in the foreign language once more, to which Charlotte replied casually. Seeing this, Melod

Melody felt her throat tightening up, looking towards Christopher in disbelief. "You…!"She wanted to use Christopher's connections to get closer to Sophia, figuring that she could gain her trust by doing so. Yet, the man refused to cooperate with her at all.Sophia seemed confused now, frowning. "So do you know each other or not?"Melody shot the man a dirty glare, only to have him ignore her completely, replying in an indifferent tone. "No."This made Melody so mad that she dug her nails into her palms.Christopher was actually just upset that Melody had blocked his number and avoided him, so it would not be easy to have him help her out this time. Despite seeing how odd their dynamic seemed, Sophia still did not trust Melody, so she impatiently shooed her away. "You're not welcomed here, so stop bothering me!"After that, she slammed the door to Melody's face. Having been rejected a second time, Melody felt rather depressed. She then exited the premises and took her phone ou
