Chapter 37


    Chapter 37 Discovered His Secret


    Melinda, Samuel, and Pam went for a walk in the garden and the children shared what their day had


    been like at kindergarten.


    After taking the children back to their room, Melinda told them a story and was finally able to put them


    to sleep.


    As she watched them lying quietly in bed, her heart was filled with indescribable joy. They had been


    smiling a lot more ever since they reunited with their father.


    Melinda had to take a deep breath as she made her way over to the master bedroom. This was the


    only ce she could spend the night tonight.


    I can’t believe there’s no guest room in a vi as humongous as this! Well, on second thought, it’s not


    that surprising. Who’d have the honor of spending the night here?


    After pausing at the door for quite some time, Melinda finally pushed the door open, but the view of the


    attractive man in front of her nearly blinded her.


    They locked gazes and she could see the faint smile on his face and the sparkle in his eyes… which


    seemed to be giving off an inexplicable sense of gentleness.


    It was Melinda’s first time seeing Stanley looking like this. She felt as if she were hallucinating.


    Stanley reached out and Melinda quickly shrank to the side, but he simply closed the door behind her.


    She thought he was going to hug her.


    He had just showered and smelled faintly of his shower cream, and he had put on white silk pajamas.


    Melinda felt as if the scent of his testosterone wafted in the air…


    They were all alone inside Stanley’s Baroque–style bedroom with arge bed covered in crisp, white


    sheets in front of them… Melinda was too afraid to let her mind go down that line of thought.


    Stanley stretched out his hand once more. Melinda took a step back and ended up t against the wall.


    His hand brushed past her ear and pressed against the wall as well. She was sandwiched between him


    and the wall.


    Her heart jumped as she stared at him with startled eyes.novelxo fast update


    “What are you doing?” Her heart rate was skyrocketing.

    Stanley put one of his arms around her waist. His eyes were dark and brooding as he stared at her. “I


    want you tonight.”


    He didn’t bother beating around the bush at all!


    Melinda’s eyes filled with shock!


    To him, her eyes looked like pools of clear water, and he couldn’t help but sink into them.


    “We’re not in love. We’re just pretending to be a married couple. Can you not make me do this?”


    Melinda pleaded softly.


    His stamina was too good. She hadn’t recovered yet.

    ‘Don’t forget who you are! In the eyes of thew, you’re still my wife.” The hint of gentleness


    disappeared From Stanley’s expression as he continued in a warning tone, “If you refuse me, I’ll buy


    over Sunnyvale for development and chase out all of the residents. They’ll be left without a home.”


    “Why, you!” Melinda red at him in fury.


    He simply smirked and pressed his lips against hers and conveniently turned off the lights while he was


    at


    1. it.


    Melinda wanted to protest but she was too afraid to anger him. She didn’t think he was joking earlier.


    He was a man of his word. After all, he was Stanley Fox, the man no one in Riverdale dared to offend.


    Stanley recalled the way Melinda and Jaxon had been so in tune with each other when he saw them at


    the wooden house…


    He recalled the disdain in Jaxon’s eyes when thetter looked at him, and his heart filled with so much


    discontent that he bit down on Melinda’s lips!


    Melinda gasped in pain.


    “Have you gone mad?” She struggled to get away from him.


    “That’s right. I’ve gone mad.”


    Stanley was overwhelmed by his desire to make her submit to him. He had found her Achilles heel–the


    residents at Sunnyvale!


    He was going to make sure he had her under his thumb!


    “Kiss me back!” Stanley’s voice was low andmanding. Has she done it with Jaxon before?


    Melinda closed her eyes. She felt both awkward and reluctant as she attempted to respond to his


    kiss…


    They fell onto therge bed. She was in so much pain that she gripped his waist. Her hand slid down


    and she identally brushed against the bumpy patch on his back. She was a little shocked by the


    roughness.


    He kept peppering her with kisses until her mind went nk. She didn’t have any attention to spare on


    other thoughts.


    Nevertheless, the memory of what Oscar had said floated back into her mind. Was that the scar he got


    when he rushed into the fire to save his mother?


    Melinda wanted to feel it again to determine whether or not it was a burn scar.


    However, Stanley grabbed her wandering hand and kissed her even harder.
