    Chapter 242 Take the Initiative and Kiss Me


    It was not until Mervin stood beside the couch, casting a shadow, that Melinda realized he had arrived.


    She quickly put away her phone, but he still saw the words in the search bar.


    He was not angry and merely sat beside her, reaching out to embrace her shoulder. His movement


    startled her, and her body stiffened before she turned her gaze toward him.


    Their eyes met. Mervin crossed his legs, his face showing a hint of determination, and his fingers


    tightened around her shoulder. “If you wish to know about him, why didn’t you ask me directly?”


    Ask you? Didn’t you say you don’t want to hear a thing about Stanley in this vi? How am I supposed


    to ask?


    He was in a decent mood today. There was a faint smile on the corners of his lips. “I’ll tell you about his


    situation if you please me.”


    Melinda could not help but tug the corners of her mouth in silence.


    He said, “I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to, but I’d love to see you take the initiative.”


    “What do you mean?” She stared at him warily, sensing that he was casting a.


    “What I mean is that since you’ve agreed to be my woman, you can’t be so cold and ignore me.” He


    raised an eyebrow. “In the future, I’ll have to bring you out in public, so you must learn to adapt to our


    rtionship.”


    She had an epiphany. “He’s out of danger? Is he alive?”


    He wanted to bring her out to trigger Stanley’s reaction.


    Mervin turned his gaze toward her, studying and admiring her with his eyes. “You’re getting ahead of


    yourself. He yed with her hair near her ear with his long fingers. “How are you so smart? No wonder


    he loves you so much. He’s willing to give up his life for you.”


    “How is he doing?” She was anxious, her emotions fluctuating. “You have news about him,


    right?”novelxo fast update

    “Kiss me.” The man released his hold, crossed his arms, and leaned back in the chair, closing his eyes.


    Take the initiative.”


    Melinda’s heart trembled.


    Sadness filled her heart as she looked at his nonchnt and triumphant demeanor. However, to get


    information about Stanley, she had no other choice.


    So, she swallowed all her grievances, and with a heart as lifeless as ashes, she leaned closer to him


    and hesitantly kissed his cheek.


    This second held profound meaning for Mervin. It was as if an electric current had reached the depths


    of his heart, making his whole body tingle.


    He took note of this moment.


    Among the many women who had kissed him, it was only this time that he felt something.


    Mervin turned his gaze, and their eyes met again.


    Melinda suppressed her heartache and directly asked, “How is he?”


    He seemed to see her heart bleeding. “You’re quite business-minded,” he said. He did not want to


    torment her further and continued, “Stanley is lucky. The Grim Reaper didn’t take him. After 36 hours of


    full-scale rescue efforts, he was saved.”


    Her heart, which had been tightly clenched for two weeks, gradually rxed. She took a deep breath


    as if finally tasting the scent of oxygen.


    Melinda felt alive again.


    Mervin continued, “But he hasn’t woken up yet. He’s back to life, but it’s unsure whether he’ll stay in a


    coma or what condition he’ll be in when he wakes up. Taylor is still in Navelie.”


    As Melinda listened, a mist of tears appeared in her dark eyes. Stanley is in Navelie too.


    Mervin handed his phone to her. “You can make a call to Taylor.”


    She remained silent and hesitated for a moment before their eyes met again. Upon confirmation that he


    was not joking, she reached out and took the phone. He stood up knowingly and left, closing the door


    behind him.


    Her face could not help but turn pale. With bated breath, she dialed Taylor’s number.
