Ever since the bitch Melody returned, there hasn’t been a moment of peace in the house. I really couldn’t stand it anymore‘ she wondered
“Mom!” Mabel said indignantly. “You have to stop her! We need to teach her a lessont She’s made us a laughingstock today!”
Yolanda gritted her teeth. There were still guests waiting outside for their cars, and going out to confront Melody now would only exacerbate the already bad situation.
“No rush,” Yolanda took a deep breath and said, “Home is here. We’re not afraid she won’t come back. She might escape for a while, but she could not escape forever!”
Mabel gritted her teeth, but she had to endure for the time being
On the other side, Melody ran out quickly, catching up with Wilmot who was about to leave by car, “Mr. Sherman, wait a moment. Do you have time? Is it convenient to talk with me?
Wilmot nodded without hesitation. “Thave time!”
Melody was his great benefactor, and even if he was overwhelmed with work, he would say he had time.
“Then let’s go to the coffee shop outside the community. I have something I want to confess to you!”
Hearing this Wilmot was slightly taken aback, but he didn’t ask more, turned to the lady waiting for him, and said, “Sorry, ma’am, I have something to do, I won’t trouble you to take me back.”
“Okay, no problem, call me anytime if you need anything!” The lady was delighted that Wilmot said sorry to her, immediately waved her hand happily, and got in the car.
The two walked to the coffee shop outside the community
The coffee shop wasn’t large, but it had decent privacy, and Melody requested a private room.
Melody glanced at the menu and looked up to ask Wilmot. “Mr. Sherman, what would you like to drink?”
Lave some water!
“I’ll just have

Melody turned to look at Wilmot, only to find him staring at her with a surprised expression.
“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” Melody mouched her uneven face and joked. “Am I too ugly?”
“No.” Wilmot shook his head. “Although I’m a stylist, I don’t have any prejudices about appearance. And I believe that what’s most important: about a person is never their appearance, but who they are as a person.“

4t’s not right for a big man like me to hold a flower” Wilmot paused and asked, “Ty the way, you were saying something earlier,
Hearing this, Melody finally felt at ease. “Actually, I wanted to confess something to you
Upon hearing this, Wilmot’s face showed a surprised expression.
It was a bit difficult to say, and Melody took a sip of coffee before continuing “Actually, I didn’t just happen to pass by the store today. I went
there on purpose
i used your gratitude toward me to get the contract back from my stepmother, I’m not as easy to bully as I seem. On the contrary, since I came back, it’s Yolanda who has been at a disadvantage. But I feel that using your gratitude was wrong, so I came to apologize to you. If you’re upset, I can retum the store to you at any time”
Melody finished and waited for Wilmot to get angry and leave.
However, to her surprise, Wilmot was not angry. Instead, he smiled.
“Mr. Sherman. What are you laughing at? Aren’t you angry?”
Wilmot shrugged and said, “Miss Fox, I’m not a fool, I guessed your intentions the moment I stood at your doorstep.”
Melody was even more surprised. “Then why… did you still help me?”
