    Chapter 99 The First Step of Mervin’s n


    “His Weakness?” Monica was stunned, wondering if Stanley actually had any weakness at all.


    “His weakness is Melinda. Mervin trusted his own judgment.


    Nevertheless, the man’s words pained Monica’s heart like a de, yet she decided to pull herself


    together and asked. “Did you get close to Melinda to piss him off?”


    “That’s none of your concern, so stay out of my way.” Mervin appeared to have a n in mind.


    Monicaughed it off, taking five seconds to digest the news. “I don’t hope they get together in the end,


    but what’s in it for you?”


    “Pain. Seeing him in pain makes me happy,” Mervin answered directly. “If he dates you, I’ll do


    everything in my power to take you away from him.” He gave thedy a mysterious look as soon as he


    finished his words. At the same time, Monica stopped in her tracks, appearing speechless at the same


    time.


    “Stay out of my way, Monica.” Mervin still had some respect for Monica. “I only exist to make him feel


    pain. It’s the only purpose I serve in my life.”


    You’re sick, Mervin.”


    “Maybe.” Mervin grunted bitterly. “But that’s all thanks to the Fox Family.” He finished his sentence and


    walked away, leaving Monica behind as she watched him slowly disappear from sight.


    Then, a scary idea suddenly crossed Monica’s mind, reminding her of what Mervin could do to Melinda.


    if Mervin slept with Melinda, would Stanley still want to be with her? If word about this gets out to the


    press, the Fox Family is going to suffer from its damaged reputation. By then, Melinda will no longer be


    able to win Mrs. Fox’s approval anymore, will she? At the thought of that, Monica began to think that


    Mervin’s existence might not. only be meant to cause Stanley pain but also to help her.


    Meanwhile, after Stanley and Melinda returned to Emerald Harbor, she was taken upstairs by the


    children. Then, the butler walked up to Stanley and told him that Jennovelxo fast updatenifer had


    come and stayed there overnight. “She stayed herest night?” Stanley was surprised.


    The butler nodded. “Yeah, she slept with the kids in their room.”


    “Was there any noteworthy conflict?”


    “Nope, Mrs. Fox seemed to like the children a lot. Although she might appear to have a dislike for them


    at first, she was eventually softened by them. In fact, she even appeared reluctant to leave at one point


    this morning.”


    “I see. If something like this happens again, let me know at once. My mom is emotionally unstable,


    which makes it unsuitable for her to get along with children for too long,” Stanley said.


    “Yes, Sir.”


    Ten dayster, Mervin was seen with a group of children under a tree in Sunnyvale. “Hey, Billy! You


    need a lighter color for this. It isn’t going to look nice with a darker color.”


    “Dillion, this leaf would look better if it was smaller, but yours looks fine too.”


    “Easy. We have all day ahead of us, so don’t worry. Is there anyone else who ran out of paint? I could


    mix the color you want.”


    Mervin was in casual wear, holding a paint tray as he walked around the children. It turned out that it


    was his tenth day teaching the children’s art ss. After all, Melinda still owed the children ten days of


    art ss as she had never returned again after being taken away by Stanley. However, those ten days


    that Mervin spent in Sunnyvale were the happiest moments he had ever had in his life, as the smile on


    his face was the brightest. Having spent an immense amount of time with the children, he seemed to


    have been enlightened by many different epiphanies in life.


    “Look at my painting. Mervin. Do you think I should draw a frog there to make it look better?”


    Mervin walked up to his student and took a closer look at thetter’s painting. “You should draw your


    ideas. from your inspirations and creativity. So, just add whatever you want to your painting.”


    “Got it.” Mervin also went on to provide intensive sses for the children, sessfully building a strong


    bond between himself and them. Also, his rtionship with Jaxon was not as strained as before


    because he had no choice but to stay in the wooden house for the past ten days.


    On the tenth day, the children came to the wooden house to say goodbye to Mervin. When Jaxon was


    done packing Mervin’s clothes for him, he asked a question with a heavy heart. “Will you be back?”


    “What’s wrong?” Mervin sat under the tree, folding his arms while giving Jaxon a mysterious look. “You


    miss me?” Much to Mervin’s surprise, Jaxon looked away and avoided his gaze, his cheeks blushing in


    embarrassment.


    “When is your mentoring?”


    “She is on the way, I think, but I know she’lle for sure today.”


    “Oh. Mervin seemed to be up to something. “I guess I’ll make a move soon before her husband sees


    me, or I’m going to be in huge trouble.”

    He then took his luggage from Jaxon’s hand and said, “Let’s go! Don’t miss me.” Not long after Mervin


    was gone, Melinda returned to the wooden house without Stanley but by her driver’s ride.


    “Ms. Melinda,” Jaxon said, “Mervin just left.”
