Chapter 120 Blatant Provocation
Under the dim light, Melinda gazed at Stanley’s exquisite profile and believed that her actions had not stirred him from his slumber. She suddenly felt a twinge of pity for the man standing at the pinnacle. No matter how powerful or wealthy a person may be, there will always be scars in their heart as long as they are alive, huh?
As she quietly lay down beside him with a half piece of jade pendant in her hand, memories of people from the past flooded her mind, and some of their faces vividly appeared before her.
The next morning, Melinda woke up early and busied herself in the kitchen alone. The servants wanted to help but could not be of any assistance.
“Mommy!” As he was in his overalls, Samuel approached the kitchen door and peeked inside. “Are you making spaghetti for Daddy?”
“We’re having congee today.” She briefly looked back at him. “Daddy will have some too.”
Huh… She cooked it specifically for Daddy! Samuel purposely said, “Mommy, someone at Daddy’s company made congee for him, but he didn’t touch it at all!”
Someone at the company? Is it Monica? “That’s not my concern.” Melinda blinked. “I made the because I wanted to have some myself, so I made extra.”
She cares. Why doesn’t she express it? he thought. novelbin

“Fine! Say whatever you want! Daddy has something to eat, either way!” He was determined to play matchmaker for his parents.
After he left, she stood before the stove, feeling a subtle jealousy permeate her heart. Nevertheless, she managed to hold herself back.
Perhaps Melinda was just another ordinary person unable to resist Stanley’s damn charm. However, she could not show it because she was uncertain about his feelings and refused to become a laughingstock.novelxo.com fast update
“Mommy, do you have to keep an eye on the congee? Why don’t you use an electric cooker?” Pamela approached. “You’ve been quite attentive to Daddy lately!”
Melinda turned off the fire and began to scoop the congee into bowls. “Quit the nonsense! Aren’t you going to have some too?”
“What nonsense?” A low, magnetic male voice emerged from behind; its pleasantness was capable of captivating one’s ears.
She shifted her gaze and noticed Stanley standing behind Pamela with his hands on her shoulders. “Daddy, I have a secret to tell you!”
Then, she pulled away.
Melinda felt her cheeks blushing, and even her cars started to turn red. However, she quickly regained her composure.
The atmosphere during breakfast was pleasant.
In the bright and minimalist dining room, Sherry prepared the kids’ favorites. It included chocolate strawberry pie, shrimp dumplings, milk, fried eggs, and more.
Melinda handed the bowl of congee to Stanley and served herself a portion.
Samuel said, “Mommy made this congee for you! You have to finish it all!”
Stanley glanced at her across from him with a gentle expression and said, “Thank you.” He then picked up the spoon.
She remained calm with no thoughts in her mind.
After breakfast, the driver took the kids to kindergarten. Melinda and Stanley carried them to the car, waving goodbye as they said farewell.
“Are you not going to the office?” She noticed him heading toward the living room.
“It’s still early.” He did not look back, but she followed after him.
Moments later, he asked, “Are you planning to develop a treatment plan?”
“Yes, and I might need Taylor’s help. However, I need to assess the feasibility first.”
“Feel free to come to me if you need anything.
“Absolutely!”
