Chapter 170

Chapter 170

Melody also had a temper. She wasn’t the pushover she had been in her previous life.

She immediately decided against explaining to him. She nodded in agreement right away and said. “Alright. Send me a message after you get off work. I go to the Swanson family’s home and make things clear with Margaret

With that said, she asked coldly, “Is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I have to return and eat with the little one!

Tjust wanted to be allies and working partners with Ken, she thought. Tve never thought of becoming his other half. If he wants to get a divorce, so be it I’ve got nothing to love. We haven’t gotten intimate anyway. If we divorce, it may even resolve that nuisance with Janet. It’s exactly what I

want

However, Ken’s expression became even more sour. Just as his thin lips parted, his gaze suddenly swept past Melody’s back.

Melody sensed that something was off and involuntarily turned around.

She saw Wilmot walking toward her from the corridor. The moment she tumed around. Wilmot saw her as well as Ken, who was standing behind her.

Wilmot instantly stopped in his tracks and looked at them in surprise.

But soon, his expression returned to calmness. He walked forward with a smile and said. I thought something happened to you after being in the restroom for so long. It turns out that you’ve met someone you are familiar with”

As he spoke, he gave Ren a polite bob of his head and said, “Mr. Swanson.”

Melody was about to continue what Wilmot had just said when she suddenly felt something weighing on her shoulder.

She looked sideways and saw Ken’s big hand on her shoulder. He then pulled her into his arms and said leisurely, “Mr. Sherman, you may be mistaken. I’m not someone Melody is familiar with. I’m ber husband. We’re already married.”

Melody hurriedly wanted to interrupt Ken, but it was too late.

An immense sense of shock appeared on Wilmor’s face as he looked at them in disbelief

“Wilmot, we… Melody hurried to explain but was unsure of how to do so.

She thought, ‘Tve indeed registered my marriage with Ken. Ken is right about this,”

She hesitated for two seconds. Wilmot then confirmed that what Ken said was true.

He was at a loss for a moment before he said with a complicated expression, “I really didn’t expect… Sorry, Miss Fox. Shane ate too much earlier. I’m taking him home now. I’ve already footed the bill. Take your time. I wish you both happiness…”

With that said, he turned around and left quickly without waiting for Melody’s response

“Wilmott” Melody called out to him.

She wanted to explain to Wilmot, but Ken grabbed her back like he was grabbing a little bird.

“Why?” Ken said. “You really have eyes for that Wilmot and want to be someone else’s stepmother, huh?” There seemed to be disdain in his eyes. That disdainful tone made Melody angry, and there was a bit of sadness deep down inside.

She did not know why she was sad. Perhaps it was because the feeling of being misunderstood was too unbearable.

She gritted her teeth and glared at Ken, saying, “Whether or not I have eyes on Wilmot doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, right! 111. work it out with you and get it done as soon as possible. I hope you won’t interfere in my personal life.

With that said, the coldly shook off Ken’s hand and quickly chased after Wilmot

As she ran over, she constantly felt a pair of eyes staring at her, but she didn’t look back. Instead, she quickened her pace.

She thought, Setting aside everything else, Ken’s temper is simply outrageous! Just because I didn’t greet him, does he need to retaliate like this and ruin the connection with Wilmot that I’ve worked so hard to build up? His temper as an entitled scion is ridiculous! I’m not going to let him act as he pleases!

Melody quickened her pace as she ran out, worried that Wilmot might have already left.

Fortunately, because Shane kept making a fuss about wanting to see her, Wilmot was still arguing with Shane at the entrance of the restaurant.

“How many times have I told you” Wilmot said. “Melody is very busy! Come back with me now!”

He pulled Shane hard. The rare outburst made Shane at a loss, Shane clung to a utility pole and cried loudly.

Chapter 170

With a sour expression, Wilmot ordered the driver to forcefully drag Shane into the car.

Melody happened to see this scene and hurriedly ran forward to apologize.

“I’m sorry, Wilmot” she said. “It’s all my fault. I made Shane upset.”

She genuinely felt guilty for making Wilmot leave awkwardly in that situation.

But Wilmot revealed a distant smile and said “Miss Fox, why are you apologizing I’m the one who should be apologizing I didn’t know you were married. I even advised you to stay away from Mr. Swanson. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have been so forward and treated you to a meal alone”

Wilmot’s words were filled with politeness. He also changed the way he addressed Melody back to “Miss Fox“, yet he showed no hint of resentment. It was as if he was merely annoyed at himself for being forward

He was a very gentlemanly person, and Melody felt even more guilty. She could not help but explain, “Actually, I married Ken for some reason. We are just friends, not a real married couple in the true sense?

“Friend? Wilmot said as he lowered his eyes and smiled. “Miss Fox, you may consider Mr. Swanson a friend, but he may not necessarily see you as a friend. All I know is that a man, especially a proud man like him, will never register his marriage with a woman he doesn’t have feelings for. What’s more. Owen kept coming to our table today. Did you really not sense anything”

Melody asked in confusion, “What was the thing I should have sensed?”

Jealousy Wilmot said

“Huh?” Melody was stunned.

Wilmot said bluntly. “Men are different from women. Their jealousy and envy aren’t expressed through words, but through actions. When I accidentally saw you two together, didn’t you notice Mr. Swanson’s expression? He was jealous.”

Melody was even more stunned

She did not notice Ken’s expression. Throughout, she felt she was being retaliated against by Ken, so she naturally didn’t pay attention to his expression

“But I’m certain

n that a person like Ken will never fall for an ugly person like me, she thought, ‘Jealousy is even more ridiculous!

She said, “Wilmot, you’ve really misunderstood. There’s no way I’d ever be with Ken

I never many into the Swanson family again, even if that person is Ken and not Ulric she thought. The Swanson family is already like a curse to me, making me not consider marrying into that family, I even want to destroy it!

Perhaps because she spoke seriously, Wilmot hesitated.

Two seconds later, Wilmot looked at her and said, “If you get a divorce, will you consider me?”

Melody widened her eyes in shock and blurted out in disbelief, “What did you say?“.

She suspected that she had misheard him.

vely took a step back

Wilmot took a step forward, and Melody instinctively

He suddenly lost the strength to say the words that he was about to blurt out.

Her action of taking a step back says it all, he thought,

But with his personality, he probably wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight if he didn’t address certain matters.

He forced a chuckle and said, “Melody, you probably haven’t noticed at all that my feelings for you have changed from gratitude to fondness Seeing how happy you were with Shane today, I even wanted you to accompany us forever. But now that I think about it, I realize I’ve been overthinking things. You don’t have to take my words today to heart. Don’t feel any pressure either. I just ask that you don’t contact me again today. I’ll be fine tomorrow, and we can then still be friends.
