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

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

Jasmine watched Christopher as she finished. His chiseled facial features were smooth and clear beneath the warm radiance like a marble statue. He looked so handsome that one could not take their eyes off him.As an heiress, Jasmine had met hundreds of good looking men from local and abroad, but Christopher was one in a million.Christopher remained silent as he studied Jasmine briefly, his gaze placid while his tone flat. "You don't mind me being a divorcee?""What's wrong about that?" Jasmine shrugged. "Your mother told me about your ex-wife."Christopher raised a brow but gestured for her to continue.Jasmine held a hand over her lips to hide a smile—a polite, refined gesture. "Well, everyone is probably aware about your previous marriage being unhappy. Your ex-wife probably grew up in a poor environment, so she has neither the looks nor the competence. But if I were to be your spouse, I'm confident that I'd be exceptionally good at both."Fiddling with her hair again, Jasmi

Stopping at a red light, Melody then decided to text Luke.She was not trying to expose herself, but she genuinely wanted to open up his brain to check if something was wrong, especially with his odd behavior lately.Luke, on the other hand, had just gotten off a call with Talia. Just as he was about to get back to work, he heard a notification popping up on his phone.Realizing it was from Melody, he wondered if she finally had a change of heart. He immediately paused whatever he was doing to check the message she sent, only to freeze in surprise."… Huh?" Was Melody concerned about Christopher?!Luke knew that his boss had sustained a deathly injury five years ago, but he was lucky enough to have met an expert who saved him. However, Jonathan was the only other person who knew of this. He did not understand how Melody found out.He quickly replied: [Ms. Nolan, how did you know about Mr. Bolton's condition? Did he tell you everything?]He figured it would be best to be safer

Once again kicked out of the study by his sister, Ethan then received a call from Christopher. Hearing that he wanted to go out for a drink, he could not help but feel doubtful. He even checked his screen just to make sure it was indeed Christopher who was calling him."You mean now?""I made reservations at our usual place. Cut the crap and just come over." Christopher's frosty tone indicated that he was suppressing his emotions. Ethan clicked his tongue. If anyone else had asked him out for a drink, he would not be surprised at all. However, he had known Christopher for over two decades, and the latter had never been one to succumb to alcohol.What was up with him today?Even so, Ethan did not turn him down, thinking that it would be a good opportunity to mention the project to him. "Alright, I'll be there after I change. Wait for me."After hanging up, Ethan tidied up his hair, which he had messed up trying to hug Lyla in attempts to convince her earlier. He then put on a lea
