<b>Chapter </b>169
“The only person who could make Owen brazenlye to bother us twice is probably Ken, right? Melody thought.
But when she looked over, she saw Ken talking to the man on <b>his </b>left. He did not even look cover from the corner of his eye.
She could not help but start to doubt her guess aga
She thought, ‘Could I have been wrong? That Owen came over purely because he was worried that he would not be able to serve Ken well?
Melody had many questions in her mind, but she <b>could </b>not ask in front of so many people. Besides, the little one was pulling her sleeve. She could only suppress her doubts and turned her gaze back to the child, asking. “Shane, what’s wrong!”
“Melody, I want to add you on WhatsApp, <b>Shane </b>said.
Melody asked in surprise. “You already have your own WhatsApp ount at such a young <b>age</b>?”
“Of course!” Shane said as he puffed out his chest proudly. He then scratched his head and said, “But Melody, you can only send me voice messages. I can’t read many words yet
With that said, his cheeks flushed.
Melody could not help butugh
She said, “Alright, I will add you”
The two of them added each other on <b>WhatsApp</b>. Coincidentally, Wilmot brought Owen back after ordering <b>food</b>.
The little one immediately boasted, Duddy. I added Melody on WhatsApp!”
<b>Wilmot’s </b>expression did not change. After sitting down, he calmly took out his phone and said, “<b>Melody</b>, let’s add each other on WhatsApp too. If anything happens in the shop in the future, I’ll just message <b>you </b>directly on WhatsApp instead of sending texts or calling every time,”N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“Okay,” Melody replied and scanned Wilmot’s QR code
Wilmot was sessfully added to her WhatsApp contact list. His profile picture <b>was </b>a group photo of three people, which were Shane, Wilmot, and a gentle–looking woman.
She said. “That person in your profile picture…
Without waiting for Melody to finish <b>asking</b>, Wilmot said calmly, “<b>That’s </b>my wife. I’ve told <b>you </b>before. She passed away a long time <b>ago</b>.”
Melody nodded and said apologetically. Im sorry. <b>I </b>shouldn’t have asked
“It’s fine” Wilmot said with a smile. Time can take away a lot of things. I’ve long gotten over it”
<b>Shane </b>chimed in. “Melody, you don’t have to apologize. My mom just turned into <b>a </b>star in the <b>sky</b>. Of course, the might have also be an angel <b>like </b>you!
Melody could not help but caress Shane’s hair, feeling sorry for him.
“That’s right,” she said. “<b>Your </b>mom <b>has </b>be an angel and has been guarding you <b>from </b><b>a </b>ce you can’t <b>see</b>
“<b>It’s </b>my <b>fault</b>,” <b>Wilmot </b><b>said </b>indifferently <b>as </b>he operated his phone. “She’s gone. I shouldn’t have made those who are still alive feel ufortable. Ive already changed my profile picture.”
Melody was momentarily stunned. Right after that, she hurriedly said, “I didn’t feel ufortable..
Wilmot smiled <b>as </b><b>he </b><b>said</b>, “It has nothing to do with you. Many people have asked me about it, so I simply changed it. Regarding what I said just now about moving to my house, have youe to a decision?”
Melody could not help but widen her eyes.
<b>She </b>thought, I haven’tidered it at all, <b>okay</b>?
But considering Wilmot’s good intentions, <b>she </b>could only reject him tactfully<b>, </b>saying, “It’s okay, I still have my grandmother at home. <b>She’s </b>not in good health. I have to take care of her. Besides, she’s very kind to me…
Before the finished speaking, a text message suddenly popped up on her phone.
It was a message from Ken
Come to the restroom.
La
Chapter 165
The messageprised just <b>four </b>simple words, delivered with Ken’s characteristic cold and indifferent tone
Melody could not help but frown. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Ken walking in <b>a </b>certain direction of the restaurant
She parsed her lips and said apologetically <b>to</b>
to Wilmot,
“I’m sorry. I’m going to the restroom<b>.</b><b>”</b>
“Okay,” Wilmot said, not noticing that Ken, who was sitting at the other table, had also left. He merely thought Melody needed to ease herself, so he pointed in a direction <b>and </b>said. “The restroom is over there.”
Yeah, I’ll be back soon. Melody said.
She touched Shane’s head, got up and walked toward the restroom.
The restaurant had a long corridor leading to the restroom. Melody caught a whiff of smoke as soon as she entered <b>that </b>corridor.
She hated the smell of smoke the most. When she caught a whiff of it, she couldn’t help but involuntarily hold her breath.
She quickened her pace and finally saw Ken standing at the end of the corridor with his back facing her.
He stood steadily, his feet spread apart, and his hack straight, just the <b>view </b>of his back alone could make people feel his oppressive sense of presence.
Melody, who had been reborn once, was fearless. However, for some reason, she couldn’t shake off a sense of oppression whenever she faced Ken. <b>as </b>if she was interior to him
She swallowed her <b>saliva</b>, her mind pondering why Ken called her toe to the restroom.
In the end, she decided not to <b>think </b>about it anymore. Just as she was about to call out to him, she saw Ken suddenly turn around. He swept his gaze, which carried a chilling sense of coldness, over her with his dark eyes.
She took a deep breath <b>and </b>asked. “K Ken… why did you call me here
Ken did not answer. Instead, he asked her, “You know I’ve entered this restaurant?
Although it was a question, she had the feeling that Ken was making a statement of certainty.
After hesitating for a moment, Melody nodded <b>and </b><b>said</b>, “I saw you when you came in.”
“Why didn’t you say hello!” he asked as he moved closer to her
Melody did not know why he asked this question. She answered truthfully. There are so many people around you. I <b>figured </b>it’s a meal <b>with </b>your business associates, so I didn’t go over to bother you.”
Ken stopped when he was just six feet away from her. He frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with her <b>answer</b><b>.</b>
“It’s true,” Melody said, furrowing her brow. “<b>You </b>wanted me to bother you, huh?”
Ken did not respond to her question. He just stared at her and said expressionlessly. “Are you going to stay at Wilmot’s cer
Melody <b>was </b>stunned for a moment. She asked in shock. “You’ve been <b>paying </b>attention to us the whole time?
“Us?” Ken said, his expression turning grim, as if a storm was brewing
Melody did not know why Ken’s expression suddenly changed. She simply exined, “I’m very good friends with Wilmot, There’s no issue with using the word <b>‘</b>us, right?”
“You’ve only known each other for a few days, yet you’ve already be very good friends with him<b>, </b>and you are going to stay at <b>his </b>cer” Ken said
Melody said, “<b>No_</b>”
<b>Before </b>she could exin that matter, Ken immediately interrupted her and said. “Melody, have you forgotten your identity?“
Melody could not help but feel puzzled. She asked, “What <b>is </b>my identity!”
Ken’s expression turned even coller.
“Don’t forget that you’re my wife,” he said.
Melody suddenly remembered that she had registered her marriage with Ken. <b>She </b>could not help butughs. “How can I be considered your wife?” she <b>said</b>. “You and I both know that the marriage certificate is just something that came by chance. It’s not binding. Bur Wilmon and t.”
Before she finished talking. Ken interrupted her again, saying, “Since you insist on being someone <b>else’s </b>stepmother, I won’t stop you. I’ll be back at the Swanson vi for dinner. Come over then, Let’s make things clear with Margaret. After that, we’ll get a divorce.”
