Chapter 109 Melinda Didn’t Expect This to Happen
When Stanley heard Gael’s words, he was shocked and upset at the same time.
“Madam had been waiting for you to return, but you never did. That is why she went to the
company.”
Immediately, Stanley felt a pang in his heart, and he didn’t know what to say. When he went to the dining room, he saw the beautifully decorated chiffon cake on the table.
“Good morning, Mr. Fox. Yesterday, Madam spent four hours making this cake for you.”
Stanley sat by the table and grabbed the cake with his bare hands, eating it right on the spot.
Sherry was surprised by his actions. At the same time, it broke her heart to see Stanley like this. After all, he had always eaten gracefully. She quickly gave him a glass of warm milk and said, “Enjoy the cake, Mr. Fox.”
Stanley said nothing and kept eating it. Suddenly, he recalled the message that Gael had sent to him- Melinda had picked up the cake from the rubbish bin and eaten it. Thinking about it, he felt heartbroken.
On the other hand, Sherry went to the living room and told Gael, “Mr. Fox is eating the cake.”
“I don’t understand why they ended up like this…” Gael sighed and was worried. He could imagine how devastated Stanley must have been last night. After all, he was a man with pride.
In the meantime, Melinda parked her car in the yard of a villa in the suburbs. Jessica came out and greeted her. She was so excited that she hugged Melinda tightly as soon as Melinda got out of the car.
“I wouldn’t have been able to find this place if it wasn’t for the GPS.” Melinda looked at her surroundings. The place was somewhat remote, but the villa was beautiful. There was a river by the lawn, and a vast clearing was on the opposite side of the riverbnovelxo.com fast updateank.
“I told you that I would go and get you. Why wouldn’t you let me?” Jessica wrapped her arms around Melinda’s. Her hair was slightly curled, and she wore an antler headband, looking pretty. “I’m going to change my clothes. Come on in and take a seat. Or would you prefer to admire the view from the yard?” Jessica said enthusiastically.
“Did you invite other people?” Melinda was rather shrewd.
“Yeah! The more, the merrier!”
Hearing her words, Melinda said nothing and watched Jessica enter the villa. She only came here because she didn’t want to stay in Emerald Harbor.
Jessica designed the villa herself and had someone build it. It looked like something that came out of a fairy-tale. There were some chairs and tables on the huge lawn in the yard, as well as some Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
plants, while the fence reached the edge of the riverbank. The river was about 65 feet wide, and some construction works were still going on there.
After some time, a few servants brought out cooking utensils and food into the yard in preparation for the barbecue. The guests came one after the other, as evidenced by the stream of cars driving up to the villa. The group of people Jessica invited consisted of both males and females, and they were all youngsters. They wore fashionable clothes and seemed cheerful.
“Let me introduce you guys to someone. This is my best friend, Melinda. She’s the wife of the president of Fox Group!” Jessica wrapped her arms around Melinda’s shoulder proudly.
Immediately, everyone landed their gazes on Melinda, and the latter could only smile awkwardly.
I bet everyone saw yesterday’s news about me being with another man. Although the media didn’t get pictures of the man’s face, Melinda was caught on camera.
However, since Melinda was Jessica’s friend, they greeted her politely.
At this moment, someone looked at the entrance and asked, “When will Mervin arrive? Is he
coming?”
Mervin? Melinda was surprised. She wondered if it was just someone with the same name.
Soon, a Volvo drove into the villa and parked beside Melinda’s car. Then, Mervin exited the car. He was dressed in camouflage clothing and looked handsome.
He took off his sunglasses and walked toward the crowd who was about to grill some meat.
“Mervin’s here!” someone screamed.
Immediately, everyone turned their gazes toward him. Mervin smiled and looked at them with bright eyes.
“Wow! He’s so handsome!”
“Mervin seems to have become taller!”
“He’s becoming more and more stunning!”
“You’re late, Mervin.”
Melinda looked at him and felt her heart skip a beat. Her mind went blank as she thought about how angry Stanley was. She had not expected Mervin to be here today.
