Chapter 609

Howard lifted his arms as if he wanted to hug Melanie, but he backed away after hesitating. In the end, he lamented about how fast time flew.

Melanie looked at his face and said indifferently, “It only takes two hours to fly from Oskon City to

Jepton.”

With her lips pursed, she stared at Howard.

Since Howard moved out of Jepton, this was the first time Melanie had seen him.

When Dylan divorced Howard, she threw away most of Howard’s photos. Melanie had secretly kept one, but Dylan scolded her when she found out and burned it.

Besides looking older, Howard looked like a successful man in his suit.

He had not changed at all.

Compared to Dylan, who had changed a lot, Howard seemed to be living a good life.

However, Melanie could not understand why.

She could tell Howard was living a good life from Matthew’s life.

Melanie bit her lip as she looked into Howard’s eyes, waiting for his answer.

Since Howard lamented how time had flown and he missed her, why did he not visit her even once back then?

He was lying!

Melanie refused to believe his words.

It was impossible for Howard to not even have a day off in the past few years.

Howard did not expect Melanie to be so straightforward. Flustered, he tried to come up with a

flawless excuse.

However, before he could do so, that young woman with him came over.

She glanced at Melanie in displeasure. Then, she wanted to hold Howard’s arm again, but Howard dodged.

Instantly, rage shot through her. She asked coquettishly, “Who is she? Did she mesmerize you just by staring at you just now?”

Howard faced Melanie as he cleared his throat and snapped, “What nonsense are you talking about? She’s Mel, my daughter.”

Then, he put on a straight face and explained to Melanie, “This is Bianca, a new intern in my company. Her hometown is far away, and she works in Oskon City alone. She wanted to save money

and didn’t want to go to the hospital even when ill. So, I brought her here.”

Melanie glanced at the woman who looked younger than her and said, “Looks like your company cares about its employees so much that even the boss is accompanying an intern to the hospital.”

Feeling awkward, Howard cleared his throat guiltily and said, “Mel, when did you arrive in Oskon City? Why are you here? Why didn’t you tell me? I could’ve picked you up.”

Melanie looked at Howard’s pretentious smile and calmed herself down.

Why was he acting like her dad?

Melanie felt it was ridiculous listening to Howard’s words.

She glanced at Bianca Redwood again. Bianca was holding Howard’s arm once more. She did not seem to intend to hide their relationship.
