Chapter 90
Listening to Angie’s cry, Melanie felt distressed.
She tried to persuade Angie, but she didn’t know where to start.
There was only so much she could say.
[You’ve only known him for a few days. So what if the two of you slept in one bed? It’s not like the Thomas family can’t support you.]
[There’s no need to marry him. If you really want to get married, there are plenty of good men in Rhodania.]
Listening to Angie’s cry, Melanie was keenly aware that Angie, who had always been fearless, was really in love with Michael deeply.
Melanie opened her mouth and suddenly thought of Roderick. Then she felt that she couldn’t say those words to Angie.
The members of the Thomas family were always like this. It wasn’t easy for them. to fall in love with someone, but once they fell in love with someone, that person would be engraved on their bones and hearts and there would be no room for others in their eyes and hearts.
Melanie assumed it must be the same for her mother back then. She thought, ‘She fell in love with Steve when she was young and guarded that love all her life until she died?
‘I’m also like this. I refused to accept any man under the excuse of having three children all these years until I met Roderick…
‘Is he really trustworthy?
‘Back then, the love between my mother and Steve also caused a sensation in Beloris.
‘It’s said that once, when my mother sprained her ankle while walking, Steve actually personally filled all the potholes in the streets and alleyways of Beloris! ‘Ever since I could remember, Mom had often told me about her past.
‘She told me how well Steve treated her and how happy she was back then. When
Steve knew that she was pregnant, he was so excited that he named me Melanie from early on.
“He wanted me to be quick–minded and versatile so that I could marry well.
‘Look, even before I was born, my good father wanted me to marry well and live a rich life.
“Was that why he insisted on selling me to that lame guy Ryan Smith?”
Melanie sighed, with thoughts whirling around in her mind.
Until Roderick came back with Ethan and Elias, Melanie still hadn’t recovered. from her depression.
“Mela, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Roderick saw something was wrong with Melanie at a glance, so he put down Ethan and Elias and let them go play.
Stopping Melanie at the screen in the hall, Roderick stretched out his hand to reach her forehead.
Melanie hurriedly tilted her head and said, “I’m fine! I’m not feeling uncomfortable!”
This made Roderick frown and he said in a deep voice, “I’ll ask Charles to come here!”
Hearing that Roderick was going to call the doctor again, Melanie hurriedly waved her hand and said, “I’m all right. Don’t call the doctor!”
“Then tell me,” Roderick said. Despite Melanie’s dodging, he took her hands and pulled her into his arms, continuing, “Mela, what’s wrong with you? You’re in a bad mood? Hmm?!”
As Roderick spoke, Melanie could feel his domineering aura and smell his faint
scent.
She felt a little hot and dry, but extremely comfortable at the same time. It was as if her pores were all open and desperately needed Roderick’s comfort.
Melanie was a little scared, afraid of how she felt when she saw Roderick.
She always felt that Roderick was unfathomable and extremely dangerous.
“Mela.”
Hearing Roderick’s voice, Melanie answered gently in confusion.
“Mela.”
“Hmm.”
“Mela, I’m so happy.” Roderick hugged her in his arms and pressed his lips against hers. He continued, “You’re finally willing to respond to me.”
Melanie didn’t expect this at all. She just responded casually seeing that he kept calling her, but she didn’t expect him to be so excited. She didn’t know what to do for a while.
At this time, she was hugged by Roderick and couldn’t move. Therefore, she had no choice but to let him keep calling her.
“Mela.”
“Mela.”
“Mela.”
Roderick kept calling her softly, lingering between her lips.
“Hmm… Um…”
It took him a long time to let go of dizzy Melanie, but he still held her tightly in his arms. He said, “Mela, let me take you outside to play and ease up, okay?”
“No.”
“Why not?” Roderick pressed against her ear and said in an ambiguous tone, which made Melanie blush. He added, “You’re not honest at all.”
Hearing this, Melanie’s face instantly turned red and her voice became even softer, “It’s all your fault…”
“You’re right.” Roderick whispered in her ear, “It’s all my fault that I haven’t married you yet.”
With Roderick’s deep voice, Melanic only felt that the air around her seemed to be filled with a sweet smell. The bell at the tip of her heart seemed to be ringing very pleasantly.
“Marry me soon, Mela.” Roderick gently bit her ear with resentment, adding, “I’ve been waiting for you for seven years.”
It had been seven years.
There weren’t so many several seven years in one’s life. Now she was almost twenty–six years old, and it was time for her to get married.
Melanie thought shyly. Thinking of getting married, she suddenly remembered Angie and the bitter cry on the other end of the phone. Her hot and dry feeling suddenly subsided and she calmed down. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
She thought, ‘What am I doing? Didn’t I swear half an hour ago not to be
emotional or confused by this man? How come I forgot all about it? Do I have to suffer enough to understand?‘
As soon as she was clear–headed, Melanie hurriedly struggled to get away from Roderick’s arms. However, Roderick had already realized that something was wrong with her, so of course he wouldn’t let her go.
Therefore, they were pushing and shoving each other. Suddenly, Roderick seized the opportunity and pressed his lips against Melanie’s again.
“Hmm. Hmm…” Melanie struggled and then collapsed into Roderick’s arms again.
Just as they were kissing inseparably, an untimely exclamation sounded beside
them.
“Oops, this is not suitable for children. We’d better leave…”
Hearing this familiar voice, Melanie was even more ashamed.
However, Roderick didn’t feel embarrassed at all. He held Melanie in his arms and said calmly, “Enzo, keep your voice down. Mela is very shy.”
“Ahem.” Enzo didn’t expect Roderick to be so brazenfaced and he became embarrassed himself.
“I–I didn’t mean to… Well, it’s time to eat. Why don’t you continue after dinner…?”

Melanie thought, ‘Continue? Continue what?‘
Melanie was secretly annoyed. When she struggled out of Roderick’s arms, she saw that Enzo was holding Ethan in one hand and Elias in the other. The three of them were all looking at her and Roderick with a smile.
o at
their smiling faces and sparkling eyes, Melanie flushed again.
“Daddy and Mommy are so in love!” Ethan blinked and said with a smile.
“Yes, Daddy should love Mommy every day. Mommy will be very happy!” Elias echoed.
Their words made Melanie extremely ashamed. However, Roderick was still smiling and replied, “Okay, I’ll do as Elias says!”
As Roderick said this, he looked at Melanie gently. His gaze was as hot as a handful of kerosene poured on her heart and immediately burst into flames.
