Chapter 51 Another Day, Another Problem
Mervin said nothing. He refused to look at Stanley as he despised this man.
Just as Melinda wondered who the lad was, Stanley suddenly shoved the cotton candy into her hands. His action took her by surprise, and she scrambled to take it. When she finally snapped out of her stupor, Stanley was already leaving. “Hey!” She went after him, tossing the cotton candy into the bin before leaving the lobby. “Wait for me!” You can’t just leave me here by myself.
Monica was stunned as she watched Melinda discard the cotton candy. She threw away something he gave her?! I can’t believe this! She was brimming with jealousy. How could she treat something he gave her so… so disrespectfully?! To think she would be so unappreciative of something that I would treasure yet couldn’t have. Unforgivable!
Mervin noticed the look on Monica’s face. He looked at the leaving couple before turning to look at Monica again. “Who’s that?” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Monica didn’t answer his question.
He harrumphed. “And everyone says he’s pure and innocent. Men are all pigs, I say.”
In the Lamborghini. Zack noticed his employer looking upset through the rearview mirror. Carefully, he asked. “Sir, should we return to the amusement park or home?”
Stanley looked at Melinda.
Noticing his look, Melinda looked at him and shook her head. “Let’s go home.”
He withdrew his gaze, remaining silent. Zack glanced at him before driving them home.
I wonder if he would say yes if I wanted to go back to the amusement park. And why did he look at me like that? And who’s that Mervin guy? What’s he got to do with Stanley? He doesn’t like Stanley, but Stanley cares about him, even though he doesn’t show it. His reaction told me everything. Melinda looked at Stanley again, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife, the air around him tensing up. “Who is he?” she asked.
Stanley pursed his lips, ignoring her question.novelxo.com fast update
Even though she was his wife, Melinda thought she didn’t know him very well. He is full of secrets.
They returned to Emerald Harbor a while later, and Zack stopped the car before the villa.
“Out,” said Stanley coldly.
Melinda looked at him. He had an icy look on his face and obviously wasn’t going to get out of the car.
While she hesitated, the man looked at her coldly. “I will not repeat myself.”
“Aren’t you coming, too?” she asked, but the look on his face told her the answer she needed. Melinda shrugged and got out of the car. Why did he change after he saw Mervin? It’s like he’s angry at everything.
The car left even before she got into the house.
The kids were upstairs in the nursery. Their smiles froze when they saw this scene, and silence claimed
them.
Samuel rested his head in his hands, sighing. He stared at his father’s car as it moved away from his sight.
“They’re back early, and Daddy didn’t come out. Did they fight?”
“I think Mommy’s upset.”
“She took a while before she got out of the car. Were they fighting?”
The kids were confused.
Pamela got worried. “I wonder how we can get Mommy to help with the design.”
“Beats me.” Samuel was in a dilemma, too.
“You’ve got to come up with something, Samuel.”
A moment later, the boy’s eyes glinted. “Hey, we can figure out what the project is. Then, we’ll convince Mommy.”
“How? Are we going to ask Daddy or someone in the company?”
Samuel huddled closer and whispered something into Pamela’s car before taking her to the study.
