Melinda President Fox’s Love

Chapter 71

Chapter 71 Will They Meet Again in Sunnyvale?

“Put me down!” Worrying about Jaxon accidentally flinging her off, Melinda tightly encircled her arms around his neck. “Watch out! My heart can’t take much excitement.”

As he was too excited to see her, he twirled her for another few rounds before finally setting her on the ground.

“How long are you staying this time?”

“A long while. Help me bring the things out of the car.

“All right!”

Jaxon opened the trunk to find gift boxes and suitcases inside. As he brought the items into the house, he shot her questions. “What’s going on? Are you coming back for real? Did the jerk chase you out of the house?”

She immediately turned to him. Her deadly glare stopped him from asking more questions.

Once the duo set everything in the house, she explained, “I’m just coming back to my house. Besides, stop calling him a jerk in the future. He’s Samuel and Pamela’s father. We need to maintain his image.”

-1 understand, Ms. Melinda.”

“How is Mr. Leroy doing lately?” Melinda picked up a few fruits. “Please tell me he didn’t try to work in the fields.”

“He didn’t. I remind him about it thrice a day. He’s recovering well and I removed the stitches for him yesterday.”

“Good.” Melinda shoved the bag into Jaxon’s arms. “Hold this for me. Let’s visit Mr. Leroy.”

When the duo almost arrived at Oscar’s house, his wife noticed them from a distance. She welcomed them with enthusiasm, her words and expression full of gratitude.

The commotion grabbed the nearby townsfolk’s attention. They were shocked and happy to see that Melinda had returned.novelxo.com fast update This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Questions overwhelmed her.

“Ms. Melinda, are you still going back?”

“I heard you came back with the luggage. Do you plan to stay for a long time?”

“Ms. Melinda, we’re so happy to have you back!”

Melinda gave them an affirmative nod. “That’s right. I haven’t finished the drawing classes I promised the children. We’ll resume in the afternoon. Besides, it’s time to talk about what we should plant around Sunnyvale. What do you guys have in mind?”

As soon as the question left her, the townsfolk spoke in unison. More people joined them over time.

They trusted her with all their heart. Thus, they shared their thoughts with her without holding back anything.

At that, the group discussed in Oscar’s house for a whole three hours. Melinda asked Jaxon to note down the townsfolk’s idea.

The process didn’t stop until he wrote ten full pages of notes. His hand was hurting due to the non-stop

process.

At last, Melinda concluded, “That’s it for today. I’m starting the drawing lessons now. Remember to remind your children about the class. I’ll see them by the bridge.

“All right. Thank you, Ms. Melinda.”

The bridge was situated at the center of Sunnyvale. There was a row of huts near the bridge and a lotus. pond next to it.

A thousand-year-old locust tree resembled an umbrella towered over them. Its branches extended in many directions and thick leaves hung around them.

People could hide under the tree when it was raining because the rain wouldn’t pour down on them as the leaves formed a natural barrier.

Melinda taught the kids drawing at the bridge. A blackboard was nailed on the outer wall of the hut.

She stored the painting tools, which she bought herself, in the huts.

Half an hour later, the children gathered at the bridge. They bantered as they put the stools on the compound and set up easels.

Some of them were helping with mixing the pigments. After all, it had been a while since their latest drawing lesson, so they were looking forward to it.

“Miss Paisley, will you leave again?”

“Miss Paisley, I miss you so much!”

“Are we drawing a lotus or something else?”

Melinda joined the children in the preparation. She made small talk with them while the kind townsfolk delivered the fruits they planted to the group as snacks.

Everything was wonderful.

At that moment, a black SUV drove into Sunnyvale.

Mervin sat in the passenger seat. Resting his elbow on the rolled-down window, he crossed his legs as he leaned back in the seat. “What is this place? The view is nice, but we took a long time to arrive.”

“James’ hometown. Are you sure he can leave? An injury is a serious problem, you know. Can we count on him for the cybersecurity competition?” asked the driver.

Mervin frowned at the question as he wasn’t confident at all. “He’s our ace. We have a higher chance to win with him in our team. I need to participate in the competition myself if he isn’t coming back. We can’t lose no matter what. Mervin had enough of joining the game. He was in no condition lately and it frustrated him.

“Let’s not worry about it. We should visit him first.” His companion then added, “We have nothing to lose, по?”
