Chapter 24


    Chapter 24


    Melinda was embarrassed and thought that she shouldn’t havee to his study to check on him. It


    made it seem as though she was concerned about him.


    At night, the Fox Group’s building was still fully illuminated. A red Bentley pulled up in front of the


    company. As the window of the driver’s seat rolled down, Monica saw Max’s car in the parking lot.


    She then got out of the car and entered thepany.


    Several momentster, Max was in the president’s office with all the lights on when he heard some


    footsteps. He looked up and asked, “Why are you here at this hour, Miss Keller?”


    “I’m here for you.” Monica approached him. “Are you done with work?”


    “I justpleted a proposal. Mr. Fox is serious about the jewelry set for Brund’s royalty,” Max


    replied. “Anyway, I’m ready to leave now.”


    “I need to talk to you.” She cut to the chase. “How did Stanley and Melinda end up together? They’re


    from different worlds.”


    “I’m sorry,” Max replied as he packed up his stuff. “I’ve never asked the president about his private


    affairs.”


    “Max.” Monica looked fixedly at him. “I’m asking you questions because I regard you as a friend.


    After giving it some thought, Max said, “Fate is important when ites to love. You and Mr. Fox have


    known each other for years, but there has never been any chemistry between the two of you. I’m sorry


    for being blunt, but both of you are not fated to be together.”


    “You’ve never been in love before, so you don’t get it!” Monica was agitated. “Love has nothing to do


    with fate. It’s something we have to work on. Everyone thinks that Stanley and I are a perfect match. I


    just returned from a two–year absence, so I’ll never ept the fact that he’s married!”


    “You just said it’s a fact.” Max regarded her as a friend and understood her feelings. “In that case, try to


    ept it.”


    “Max, I’ll only ask you one more question. When did Melinda appear in his life?”


    “Are you aware that they have two kids together? They probably crossed paths around seven years


    ago.”


    “The kids are just an ident!” Monica tried to convince herself. “They got marrinovelxo fast


    updateed several days ago. They’ve never been secretly married for seven years! When was the


    second time they met?”


    After pondering for a moment, Max said, “Miss Keller, the heart can see what the eyes can’t. Do you


    think what you want to know matters at all?”


    Monica was hit hard by his words and became clear–headed in an instant.


    While sitting in her red Bentley, she clenched the steering wheel and looked coldly at the streets. As


    she recalled Max’s words, she decided to stay in the Fox Group and work hard to share Stanley’s


    burden. She had to be visible and make sure she would shine much brighter than that woman.


    In the middle of the night, Stanley and Melinda were lying on the bed in the master’s bedroom of


    Emerald Harbor. Although they were covered with the same quilt, there was some distance between


    them.


    The awkwardness was thick in the air.


    Soon, the door was pushed open as Samuel and Pam entered the room.


    “Why are you awake at this hour?” Melinda sat up slowly, forgot to lock the door!


    “Mommy, Daddy.” When the kids reached the bed and saw the distance between them, they frowned.


    “Why are the two of you so far apart?”

    Samuel climbed onto the bed and said seriously, “This is wrong, Daddy You’re supposed to be hugging


    Mommy As he spoke, he lifted Stanley’s arm and pulled Melinda into the man’s embrace At the same


    time, he exined, “ording to thetest research, if parents cuddle at night, it’ll help with the kids


    growth!!


    He then leaped off the bed and waved his hands at his parents along with Pam. “Good night! Don’t


    separate again!” They turned off the lights before leaving the room.


    At that moment, Stanley caught a whiff of the woman’s familiar fragrance. Melinda also heard his


    breathing.


    and heartbeat.


    Both of them remained in the same position.


    Despite the embarrassment, there seemed to be love in the air.


    “You can leave. You don’t have to stay here anymore. I’ll set you free.”


    Just as Melinda was about to fall asleep, the man’s words poured over her like a basin of cold water.
