Gael stayed for a while longer, hesitating for a moment, then he said, “Your mother came not long after you went to work this morning.”
Stanley shot him a look.
The butler averted his gaze nervously, but he still respectfully said, “I was going to call, but your mother stopped me.”
There was barely any flicker of emotion within Stanley’s eyes. “She was here to see the madam?”
“Yes.”
“What did she say?” And then he started digging into his meal.
Gael told him everything Jennifer said. He didn’t want to turn his back on Jennifer, but Melinda was the one who could make Stanley happy, and he wanted their relationship to go on, even if it was fake.
“I see,” said Stanley. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Gael bowed and took his leave. Now that he had told his little secret to Stanley, he felt better.
-A moment after Gael was gone, Stanley placed his bowl down and called his mother. Before Jennifer could say anything, Stanley said, “Mom, if you try to start anything with Melinda again, I will fire Monica.” And he hung up.
A storm screamed within a villa in Repulse Bay. Jennifer smashed her phone on the ground and wiped everything off her coffee table, including a limited–edition tea–making set.
Stephanie paled. “No, madam, no!” She tried to pull Jennifer back, but it was to no avail.
Stanley continued eating calmly, as if he hadn’t just chided his mother. I did that? For Melinda? He was reminded of his mother’s tragic past and that time when he charged into a sea of flames to save her. He was only 17 then. Jennifer had a hard life, and Stanley felt bad about chiding her. I think our relationship would’ve been better if not for Monica.
In the room next door, Pamela was standing on a chair, holding up a set of casual attire, and she blinked. “Here’s your favorite color, Mommy.”

“Daddy said he’s going to take you to the amusement park tomorrow. Dresses don’t work with amusement parks, so we picked this for you.”
Melinda’s eyes went wide. “Amusement park?”
“Yep.” Samuel climbed up Melinda like she was a tree, and he threw his arms around her neck. “Bet you had no idea. Daddy’s been planning for a while, but he wants to surprise you, so he keeps it a secret.”

Pamela added, “We heard him. That’s why we’re picking your clothes out.”

“No way.” Melinda put her son down. No way he likes me. “A date at an amusement park? That can’t be true.

“It’s a favor. You made chicken soup for him last time,” said Samuel. “And because you’ve been cooking for him lately.”
If that’s true, then I guess he’s not a total jerk. Even if he is aloof and distant. And bossy.
“Believe us, Mommy. We never lie.”
She tried the clothes on just to not disappoint the kids, and they fitted her well.
‘Delighted, the children said, “Have fun tomorrow.”
She told them a bedtime story and put them to sleep. A gust of night breeze whispered across the room, dancing with the roses in the yard. Silvery moonlight shone upon the land, draping them in a silver

Stanley was in an online conference in the study. It was for work for the next day, but he had a date at the amusement park, so he brought it forward.
“High–end products. That’s our business. It’s why we place great emphasis on the thoughts and ideas behind a design,” he said in fluent Findellian.
Melinda went into the master bedroom, but there was no one around. She took a shower and cleaned herself up. Then she went to bed and started reading as she waited for Stanley to come back. When he came in, she closed the book and looked at him. For some reason, it felt like the distance between them had closed for a bit that night. No talking, of course, but their eyes met.
