Chapter 106 Heard Things That She Shouldn’t Have
At Emerald Harbor, Melinda hadn’t eaten dinner yet. She didn’t feel hungry and sat by the French windows, staring into space as she waited for Stanley to return. Yet, the front yard was dead silent, seemingly as if the man she was waiting for wasn’t planning on returning.
As she gripped her phone, she hesitated. Should I give him a call? Will he answer it if I call him? Will he scold me? Thinking about Stanley’s cold expression, Melinda didn’t have the gut to call him.
On the other hand, over at Fox Group, Stanley was holding his phone. He would constantly sneak glances at his phone as if he was expecting something. She’s the one who made me angry and humiliated the Fox Family, yet she dares not to call and apologize to me. Isn’t she worried that I, her husband, is not back home yet? he thought.
At the same time, Monica was sitting not far from him, but she didn’t realize that Stanley was zoning out. From her perspective, she felt that she was lucky enough to stay in the same room as him. However, she had many things to say to him and thought now was the best time to say it aloud.
“Are you really happy, Stanley?” She held the coffee cup and looked at him worriedly. “Everyone looks up to you and envies what you have. However, I know you are not happy on the inside, right?”
At her words, Stanley snapped to his senses and looked at her. novelbin
Monica smiled and said, “That’s because I’m not happy either.”
At this moment, the moonlight shone brightly in Emerald Harbor, and the roses swayed slightly in the breeze. Melinda stood up and knocked on the children’s door. “Are you guys asleep yet?”
“Come on in.”
When she opened the door, she saw the children sitting on the tree.
“Mommy!” Samuel and Pamela slid down from the slide and ran toward her. “Do you need. something, Mommy?”novelxo.com fast update
Melinda ruffled their hair and asked, “Can you call Daddy and ask his whereabouts for me?”
“Okay.” Samuel immediately knew what was going on when he heard Melinda’s words. Without any hesitation, he took out his phone and dialed Stanley’s number.
When the phone rang in Stanley’s hand, his heart raced! However, he was disappointed when he saw that it wasn’t Melinda. Soon, he returned to his senses and answered the call. “Hello, Samuel.”
“Where are you, Daddy?” Samuel asked quietly. “Are you coming back tonight?”
“I have some work to do. Is something the matter?”
“No. I was just asking. Goodnight.”
“You and Pamela get some rest soon.”
After the call ended, Melinda gave them a signal. “Thanks.” Then, she quickly rushed down the stairs and took the car keys from Gael.
“Where are you going in the middle of the night, Madam? I’ll tell the driver to accompany you.”
“It’s fine.” Melinda opened the car door and got in the driver’s seat. I’m going to his company.” Then, she started the car and drove off, leaving Gael dumbstruck!
What?! Gael couldn’t believe it.
At the office, Stanley was sitting at the table. As a man in the business industry for many years, his expression remained stoic when he heard Monica’s words.
Monica was deep in her thoughts as memories flashed across her mind. At this moment, she was very much emotional. “I have been trying my best for all these years, Stanley. I’m sure you know that. It breaks my heart to see you with someone else. I can’t do that. I want us to be happy together,” she said emotionally.
Stanley looked at her with a faint expression.
“You know, I have been thinking about us being together until old age,” she added sincerely.
“You are overthinking,” he replied as he looked at her thoughtfully.
In the meantime, Melinda parked her car and entered Fox Group. After the elevator took her to Stanley’s floor, she was about to knock on the door when she heard Monica’s words.
I’m tired of feeling trapped in the same spot. I don’t have the right to deepen our relationship. but I don’t want to let you go either.” Then, she chuckled. “I know you don’t love Melinda. Don’t you think it’s kind of reckless to be with her for the sake of the children?”
