Chapter 98


    Chapter 98 I Know His Weakness


    Stanley unveiled the nket and rose from the bed to put on his shirt just as Melinda sat up straight


    next to him. What’s wrong? Is he nning not to answer my question? It wasn’t until he was about to


    leave the room after putting on his clothes that she began to sense what was going on. “Hey!” She then


    quickly changed into a new set of clothes and put on her flip-flops before chasing after the man.


    Upon searching for Stanley everywhere downstairs, Melinda finally found him in the backyard. Seeing


    the man sitting on the edge of the pool and propping his body with his arm, she let out a sigh and


    walked closer to him. “What’s wrong?” She set her eyes on the side of the man’s face. “Don’t tell me


    you’re mad.”


    “Don’t ask anything about Mervin,” he replied with a cial voice, his eyes fixated somewhere ahead of


    him. “Also, you should stay away from him. If he ever gets close to you, he must be up to no good.”


    Stanley was still mad at the thought of what Mervin had said in the office the other day.


    Melinda couldn’t tell whether Stanley actually hated or cared about Mervin. “Is he your illegitimate


    son?” She ced her hand on the man’s shoulder and turned him around so that she could seriously


    look at. him. “Answer me.”


    Upon hearing thedy’s question, Stanley couldn’t help but feel surprised, wondering if that was the


    way she thought of him.


    “Look into my eyes!” With her palm still on his shoulder, Melinda looked Stanley even closer in the eye.


    Don’t even think about lying to me!” Deep down, she felt somewhat disappointed. “All of us must have


    done stuff that we weren’t proud of when we were younger. Don’t you think so?” She tried to save him


    from embarrassment. “Because I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. Furthermore, I’ll still


    learn, about it sooner orter, right?”


    “No,” Stanley answered directly with a strong tone. “He can never be my illegitimate son because-


    you’re my first woman.”


    When Melinda heard thest few words from Stanley, she retracted her arm, feeling as if her heart had


    just melted. Then, as Stanley was about to walk away, she snnovelxo fast updateapped out of her


    trance and caught up to him. “Where are you going?”


    “I don’t have my nutrient solution with me,” Stanley continued, “and I’m hungry.”


    “Oh, then you should hurry back to the room.” Melinda thought on her feet. “I’ll make us breakfast right


    away.” After learning that Mervin was not Stanley’s illegitimate son, Melinda couldn’t help but feel


    happy on the inside.


    Meanwhile, Monica was in Riverdale, where she pulled over by the riverside because she was too


    disturbed and sad to continue driving. Feeling emotionally overwhelmed, she was suffocated by her


    depression as if a huge boulder was pinning down her chest. She then looked outside the window and


    unfastened her seatbelt, whereupon she opened the car door and exited the vehicle. Dejected and


    disheartened, she wanted to walk off her bad mood amidst the chilly breeze as she couldn’t stop


    thinking of calling herself an absolute failure due to her broken rtionship. After all, she had always


    thought she was getting closer and closer to winning Stanley’s heart, only to realize she had been


    fooled by her illusion all along. Thefortable life Melinda is living now should have been mine! I


    can’t believe I lost to a peasant like her. How unfair! Monica couldn’t ept the fact that Stanley, who


    was once someone she was close to, had now be a total stranger to her.


    As Monica continued to walk in the breeze, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure not far


    ahead. It turned out that Mervin was walking toward her with his arm wrapped around anotherdy’s


    shoulders. At the same time, thedy was wearing a tight outfit and a mini skirt, along with some heavy


    make-up on her face and a pair of high heels. She is pretty hot! However, Monica was not surprised by


    what


    she saw because Mervin always dated different women.


    “I’m going to be busy these few days. So, leave me alone,” Mervin wrapped a woman’s shoulders with


    his arm. “We’ll talk only when I’m done with my business. Don’t even think about calling me until then.”


    “Aren’t you going to Nottenvale for thepetition?” Thedy looked at the man.


    “Nope.” Mervin knitted his eyebrows. “I feel like punching someone in the face instead.”

    “Who’s gotten under your skin, Mervin thedy asked.


    Mervin looked up as he spotted Monica standing not far away. He then stopped in his tracks and let go


    of the woman, saying, “I have something to attend to. You may go first.”


    Thedy gazed at Mervin and shifted her eyes to Monica, who was standing not far away. Coupled with


    her slender figure and fashionable outfit, Monica gave off an indifferent and haughty aura to thedy.


    “W- Who is she?” she asked with a soft voice that could barely hide her jealousy.


    Mervin replied impatiently, “If you don’t want me to break up with you, get lost! Now!”


    Thedy red at Monica unhappily before she reluctantly walked away. However, she couldn’t stop


    herself from looking back once every few steps she took. Meanwhile, Mervin walked up to Monica and


    stopped in front of her, keeping his eyes fixed on her shoulder. “Your injury. How do you feel now,


    Monica?”


    “You seem to be in a bad mood.” Monica could tell that Mervin was being moody. “Great, because I’m


    somewhat moody as well. Let’s go for a walk, shall we?” Thus, both of them went for a walk by the river


    shore. After a few minutes of silence, Monica said. “I’m doing fine thus far.” She then asked, “Stanley


    seemed angry that day. Was it because you went to Sunnyvale? Melinda was there too, wasn’t she?”


    “Yup.” Mervin smiled and added, “I know his weakness.”
