His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 214: A Meal With Intentions 

Seeing lven's name flash across her cell phone screen, Melody was stunned for a moment. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

It was usually Seth who would inform her if there was anything.

Iven barely called her for the same purpose.

When she accepted the call, lven's tone was a little...coy.

It was as if he was trying to sound like he was close to her, even acting cute."Melody, school's over, tight?"

Melody didn't have time to listen to him beat around the bus, so she interrupted him.

She used a stern tone, "If you want to say something, say it!"

Iven flinched, frightened by Melody’s tone.

He immediately reverted to normal and obediently defended himself.

"Melody, Axel forced me to call you.I had no plans to disturb you at all! He said he wants to invite you to dinner tonight but he didn't dare call you.In the end, I had to do it instead."

Axel stood by the side.

When he heard Iven's words, he almost rushed up to strangle the former.

‘Idiotic traitor!’ Earlier, lven declared that he would take care of everything but in the end, he threw him under the bus! Iven even pushed all the blame on him.

Iven, this damn idiot, was really capable of angering him to death.

Melody paused for a moment to think about it but she answered after a second.

"Sure!"

Hearing that, lven endlessly thanked her until the call ended.

When he turned around, he met Axel's eyes that were full of hatred.

Faced with Axel's hatred, lven snorted in disdain, "What are you looking at? You're not satisfied? If you have the ability, then why didn't you call her yourself?"

The only reason why Axel was suppressing his anger was...because of what Iven said.

He couldn't refute it.

On the bright side, Melody agreed.

Else, he would really be unable to control himself and strangle Iven, that this idiot, on the spot! On the other side...

Melody put her phone away and left with her school bag.

Whether it was Iven or Axel, both were Seth's friends.

If Seth did not trust them, he wouldn’t have taken her to see them.

Since she was invited to a meal, then she would go.

Besides, she had even broken through hell.

There was nothing to be afraid of.

Unexpectedly, the moment Melody stepped past the school gate, an iconic car entered her sight.

Melody walked straight to the car.

Seth got off the car, opened the door, and helped Melody get in.

Melody asked, "Did you receive Iven’'s call as well?"

Seth nodded, "He also asked me but I told him to ask you himself."

That was what Seth said but if Iven privately contacted Melody before he informed Seth and got the latter's permission, wouldn't that be trying to kill himself? If it reached Seth's ears through another person's mouth, he might be killed before he could defend himself.

Melody's tone was light as she casually asked, "I heard that it was Axel who wanted to treat me to a meal?"

Seth hummed as a yes.

"The Laurier and Wyne family is connected by marriage."

He took the initiative to explain, not waiting for Melody to ask about it.

Hearing Seth's explanation, Melody instantly understood everything.

California was big, but only a few people were considered to be part of the upper society.

Coincidentally, these families on top liked to connect with each other through marriage.

Over time, everyone became each other's relatives.

Now that Melody understood what was going on, there was nothing more she could ask.

Melody was a little exhausted.

She did not have the time to rest in the afternoon.

Now, her body was lazily slumped against the seat, motionless.

At this point, she wasn't willing to move a single muscle.

Seth didn't say much.

But the seats in the car were really comfortable.

It was soft and firm.

Great! Seeing Melody squint her eyes like a sleepy kitten, Seth's gaze turned warmer.

He reached out and pulled her toward him, letting her lean against his arms.

"Close your eyes and sleep for now.There's currently a traffic jam.I'll wake you up when we arrive!"

She lazily purred in agreement then shifted into a more comfortable position.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a big restaurant.

Seth originally planned to let Melody sleep a little longer but she woke up when the car stopped.

She dazedly opened her eyes, looking a little confused and disoriented.

Her usual indifference and aloofness were replaced by cuteness and innocence.

She softly asked, "We've arrived?"

"Yes!"

Seth picked up a hot towel and handed it to her.

Melody didn't wear make-up.

When she woke up, she simply wiped her face with a warm towel.

She was now sober.

After she packed up some of her things, Seth pulled her out of the car.

When they entered the private room, there were already four or five people sitting inside, waiting for the pair to come.

When the two finally appeared, Iven and Axel stood up.

Axel eagerly stepped forward and stole the waiter's job, pulling out the chairs for Seth and Melody.

"Seth, Melody, the two of you are finally here.Take a seat!"

Melody lazily glanced at Axel and slowly said with a faint tone.

"Axel, you're quite polite today!"

Melody's simple ‘praise’ made Axel's heart skip a beat from anxiety.He thought that there was something wrong.

However, he did not dare say anything and could only force out an awkward smile.

"Really? It's just that it’s my honor to be at your service!"

Bitterness filled his heart but he couldn't say anything.

Who could've thought that they had such a stupid relative like the Wyne family? On contrary, the Parry family was shrewd.

They took care of themselves early and washed themselves clean from the Wyne family's dirt.

Axel thought that he was so pitiful.

He was thrown to the frontlines to protect the family from the disaster someone else caused! After the two of them were seated, the meal started.

To invite the pair to dinner, Axel especially put in a lot of effort.

After exchanging eye contact with Iven, he got the latter's hint and didn’t talk for now.

From the moment Melody entered the room, she felt a gaze intently glued to her.

Her neck lightly moved as she raised her eyes to scan the room, meeting the gaze of the person looking at her.

She merely smiled coldly but didn’t respond.

Seeing that Melody didn't have any negative reactions, Jasper secretly let out a sigh of relief.

This was the first time he met a woman with such a fear-inducing gaze.

Moreover, it came from one who was much younger than him.

It even seemed like she was still a minor.

It was hard to imagine how such a young girl could be so horrifying when she made her move.

His younger brother was sent to the hospital.

After getting checked, the doctors said that both of his legs had serious fractures and it would be difficult for him to stand up in the future.

His arm was also broken.

The doctor couldn't even believe it when they found out that it was a result of a girl hitting him with a golf club.

Because according to the doctor, even normal adult men did not have such a power, let alone a little girl.

But it was the truth...

Plenty of people had even seen it with their own eyes.

That was how scary Melody was.

Noticing that Axel was still not saying anything, Jasper's anxiety increased a bit.

His wife was Axel's cousin.

This time, he even asked his wife to go with him to beg her family to invite Axel over.

If they didn’t do that, who else would dare to take the risk and help them? After all, doing so might offend the Harrison family.

Because the Wyne family was in danger, he felt like there was a rope tied around his neck, gradually tightening every minute he sat.

He was so anxious that he felt like he was going to have a heart attack any time.

The calmness and steadiness he usually displayed were gone.

He heard from somewhere that there was a mysterious force behind Melody but he had already reached an agreement with his father to help with asking Melody to let the Wyne family go.He only hoped that they would give Axel respect and not kill all of them.
