Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Shane immediately turned angry and crawled over to bite Ken. 

Ken crossed his arms over his chest and said, “Try biting me if you dare.” 

The sight of the two, one big and one small, caused Melody to burst into laughter. 

Seeing that Shane was about to cry, Melody said helplessly, “Shane is just a few years old. Can’t you give in to him a little?” 

Ken glanced at her with a displeased gaze. 

“Why should I give in to him?” 

Melody choked. For a moment, she did not know what to say. She could only turn to look at Shane. 

Shane’s cheeks were puffed up like a little pufferfish. He also looked unwilling to admit defeat. 

Melody shrugged. “Alright, you two go ahead and fight. I’ll take a nap first, let me know who wins when you’re done.” 

After saying that, she curled up by the car window and really didn’t care about anyone else. She just closed her eyes and rested. 

When Ken and Shane saw this, they looked at each other, then looked away without saying anything else. 

Only then did the car return to silence. 

James, who was driving, looked at the rearview mirror with a strange expression. 

Why did he feel that Mr. Swanson’s words and actions did not resemble a nobleman at all? 

Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost or something? 

Thinking of this possibility, James glanced at the rearview mirror again. 

However, he met Ken’s sharp gaze through the rearview mirror. He was so frightened that he immediately did not dare to be distracted and obediently did his job as a driver. 

Soon, they arrived at Serenity Villa. 

The moment the car stopped, Melody immediately sensed it and quickly opened her eyes. 

But she noticed that Shane, who was beside her, had fallen asleep with his head resting on her lap and his two small feet pressing against Ken’s back. 

Ken picked up Shane’s foot with one hand in disdain and was about to move away. 

“Don’t move,” Melody said in a low voice. “It’s not easy for a child to fall asleep. If he wakes up later, he’ll start fussing again.” 

As she spoke, she reached out to lift Shane up. 

“I’ll do it,” Ken said expressionlessly. Then, under her surprised gaze, he easily carried Shane and walked out. 

Melody was stunned for a moment before she quickly came back to her senses and got out of the car to follow Ken. 

However, Ken had large paces and left her behind. When she entered the house, she saw Ken already coming out of the guest room on the first floor. 

When their eyes met, Ken looked like he was enduring something. He said coldly, “I’ll go upstairs and take a shower. I hope you’ll have finished cooking by the time I come down.” 

Only then did Melody notice that his suit jacket was wet. It was obvious that Shane had peed all over him. 

Melody was shocked. She was afraid that Ken would get angry. Just as she was about to apologize on behalf of Shane, Ken had already walked upstairs. 

Her words were stuck in her throat, and she felt very guilty. 

“Miss Fox.” Susan also came out of the guest room and said, “The child has been cleaned up and is sleeping soundly. I’ll go buy him some clothes and diapers. Could I trouble you to look after him in the meantime?” 

Melody quickly nodded. “Alright, no problem. Leave it to me.”

Susan quickly left. Melody asked James to go to the guest room to watch Shane, in case he suddenly woke up and looked for her. She then headed into the kitchen. 

She surveyed the kitchen and noticed there weren’t many ingredients left. If she went to the supermarket now, she wouldn’t be able to make it in time before Ken finished his shower. 

After thinking for a moment, Melody decided to make a pot of rice and beans. 

Cooking rice and beans was a bit difficult. The balance of flavors, textures, and other factors all require careful attention. 

Those things that usually looked the most ordinary actually took more effort than delicacies. 

After deciding on the ingredients in her mind, she called Susan and reminded her to bring back the items she needed.

She frowned as she clicked on the trending topic to read more details.

There were countless comments under the post. When she clicked on it, she found that the comments had already surpassed two hundred 

thousand. 

This was even less than half an hour after the post had been made. 

The last time there was such a popular post, it was a top celebrity who suddenly announced their marriage. 

The most liked reply said, “A rich handsome guy like this has such taste? This girl is so ugly that even if she chased me for 186 miles, I’d only turn

Except for the comment with the most likes, all the others were awful. They all attacked Melody personally. 

Even Melody could not help but feel a little bitter when she saw those comments. 

“Stop looking” Ken took back his phone and said coldly, “You don’t have to care. The post will be deleted very soon.” 

Melody shook her head and said, “I don’t care about the comments. What I care about is who posted the news.”

Melody hummed and voiced her guess, “Could it be Jessica?” 

Ken denied it directly. “She doesn’t have the guts.”

Melody thought for a while and said, “I see that the person who posted the post has a new account. I don’t think we can find anything from the IP. I suggest starting by checking the surveillance near the kindergarten to see if any suspicious individuals are lurking around.” 

“Mm,” Ken replied and said lazily, “I’m hungry.”
