Chapter 104 All Efforts in Vain
“Mr. Swanson, why are the children not home yet?” Melinda carried the things into the kitchen as
she asked.
Gael followed her in. “Mr. Fox took them on a trip. They’ll be eating out tonight.”
Hearing that, Melinda thought, Oh, Stanley is in a good mood, alright.
“Great!” She was elated, as she figured this was a perfect chance for her. “I’ll have time to bake a cake for him, then!” novelbin
Gael watched as she put down the ingredients and went into the kitchen to prepare. She was even humming a song!
Madam seems to be in high spirits. Perhaps, Mr. For isn’t mad at all. Gael hoped that he was just overthinking it.
In the city center, Stanley brought the children to a restaurant to have steak.
It was the kind of restaurant where at least a thousand dollars had to be spent per person, and no one could enter without a VIP card.
The children were overjoyed.
The Lamborghini parked downstairs was too eye-catching, and it quickly attracted the reporters” attention. Then, they lay in wait for exclusive shots.
The restaurant on the 38th floor had an elegant atmosphere, and the view was amazing. Tonight, Stanley had the rare opportunity to spend time alone with the kids.
As he watched the children eat with such enthusiasm, he couldn’t help feeling satisfied as well.
“Daddy, this is delicious. Won’t you try a bite?” Pamela blinked with her large adorable eyes as she cut off a small piece of steak for him.
Stanley shook his head. He was satisfied just by watching them eat.
When they walked out after dinner, the reporters started tailing them, taking photos of them.
The reporters even followed them into the mall!
Stanley picked out some toys for the children. They always had a wonderful time together, and when he saw the smiles on the children’s faces, his aura softened as well.
He was completely stripped of the stern aura some moments later, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.
Just when the reporters were trying to scoot closer for a few close-up shots, they were stopped by
bodyguards who suddenly came out of nowhere.
“Sorry, this is Mr. Fox’s private time. Please don’t disturb him.”
The reporters could only take photos from a distance away. Thus, Stanley’s image of a good father was solidified, and the photos were soon uploaded onto the Internet.
Everyone was guessing how Stanley’s relationship with Melinda would turnovelxo.com fast updaten out.
At Emerald Harbor, in the huge beautiful villa, Melinda was wearing an apron and a mask. She had already beaten the eggs, and she had also prepared the low-gluten flour.
The milk and sugar were measured out appropriately, and she would use the best corn oil. She also got the cocoa powder ready.
With that, the ingredients were all prepared.
She had made chiffon cakes for the children in Sunnyvale before, so she was confident in her baking skill.
Gael was slightly assured when he saw Melinda bustling about.
He knew about Melinda getting on the news for dining with Mervin, so he could already guess how furious Stanley would be.
Perhaps, Madam is trying to bake a cake as an apology. Gael thought.
An hour later, the cake had the most beautiful shade in the oven, and the fragrance of the cake
wafted in the air..
The sky was getting dark, but there was still no sign of Stanley returning.
Gael waited patiently.
Melinda stood in front of the French windows in the dining hall, peering outside time and time again. Finally, she caught sight of headlights shining in her direction.
It was then the Lamborghini drove into the yard.
The woman turned around and went into the kitchen before taking the cake out of the oven. She carefully placed the cake on the dining table, but when she looked out the window again, the car was no longer there.
She went to the living room to see the children running joyfully with toys in their arms. “Mommy, look! Daddy bought these for us! This one can even light up!”
Melinda looked outside again, only to see that the Lamborghini was truly gone.
“Where is your daddy?” she asked.
“Daddy didn’t get out of the car.”
“Yeah, he left.”
The woman was left speechless upon hearing that. She then looked at Gael in confusion.
After Sherry ushered the children upstairs, Melinda walked toward Gael. “Is he still mad? From last night until now? Isn’t he being a little petty?”
“Madam, the reason might not be what happened last night…” The butler sighed. “Didn’t you see the news today?”
“Today?” She indeed didn’t check the news. “What happened today?”
At that, Gael whipped out his phone and showed her the screenshot.
“Wife of the President of Fox Group Meets Another Man in Secret! Intimate Interactions. Included!”
What sort of rubbish title was this?!
Stunned, Melinda held her breath as she looked at the HD photos.
