Chapter 161 You Must Leave My Son
At this point, Melinda knew those words by heart!
She set her cutlery down and wiped her lips too. “Go on. I’m listening”
“As long as you’re willing to give up your position as Mrs. Fox, I’m willing to accept further treatment from you. If you don’t, then even if you manage to create the right medication for me, I’ll refuse to apply it! I won’t let you try to take credit for this in front of my son and gain my son’s gratitude!”
Stanley’s greatest wish was for his mother to be well again, and Melinda had promised to help him.
“Don’t tell me that Stanley won’t allow it. I’m telling you to take the initiative and leave! Find a way to do it Jennifer wanted nothing more than for Melinda to vanish right this instant.
“Alright. I’ll do it” To Jennifer’s surprise, Melinda agreed without even a moment of hesitation.
A thought occurred to her at once. “Has Stanley given you money?”
Melinda met Jennifer’s gaze.
“Why else would you latch onto him and refuse to leave? Why else would you agree to leave just because I told you to?” Jennifer eyed Melinda. “You and I aren’t related in any way, and I detest you so. Why else would you insist on treating me?”
Before Melinda could respond, Jennifer chuckled mockingly and said, ‘Don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love with him. How long has it even been since you two got together?”
“Miss Fox.” Melinda remained as calm and polite as ever. “Either way, Stanley’s biggest hope is to see you well again. Let’s fulfill his wishes together.”
“Don’t try to appeal to my emotions!” Jennifer’s eyes flashed with scorn and derision. “You must leave him!”
“I said I will.” Melinda repeated. “I’ll leave him if you agree to accept treatment from me.”
They locked eyes once more, and Jennifer seemed like she was trying to see right into Melinda’s soul.
“I’ll prepare an agreement. If you manage to treat me. I’ll give you some money. We won’t owe each other. anything Jennifer stood up. She had everything all thought out. “Leave Riverdale. As for the children, we the Foxes will take good care of them. I have complete faith in Monica being an excellent stepmother.”
The children were Melinda’s sore spot, but she showed no emotion on her novelxo.com fast updateface.
As a mother, she wasn’t going to hand her children over to Stanley and Monica.
Since she could raise them by herself for the past six years, she could still do so for the years to come. The hardest days were over now, and she had the financial means to raise them too.
Nevertheless, now was not the time to negotiate. Melinda’s goal was simply to convince Jennifer to accept
treatment.
“Fine. I accept, Melinda said earnestly. I’m fine with all your terms.”
Does she love Stanley so much? Jennifer pondered suspiciously.
Melinda was the only one who knew that if the treatment were to be delayed much longer, they would miss the optimum window to revive Jennifer’s dormant skin. I’ll just think of her as a patient or a
petulant child who needs to be coared.
Melinda went along with Jennifer’s demands out of her genuine care for and interest in helping the ill.
Over in Arunia, in an elegant castle estate surrounded by lush greenery, the scent of flowers hung in the air.
Monica’s model-like figure was made even more attractive by the skirt suit she wore, which was in an alluring shade of red. She looked both professional and sophisticated at the same time.
She remained by Stanley’s side as someone gave them a tour of the castle.
Stanley’s bespoke suit complemented his tall frame and made him look even more distinguished. His cool, sophisticated air drew the eyes of the foreigners around him. He made even the simplest of gestures look princely.
He held a handsome Samuel with one hand and a pretty Pamela with the other. As the trio walked around with Monica, they looked like a happy family of four.
The maids who were busy at work couldn’t help but steal a few envious looks at them.
“Any woman who gets to stand by Mr. Fox’s side must be very accomplished too.”
“I heard that she’s not the mother of his children. She’s just the vice president of the company.”
