My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 838 - Reminder From Leonard

As an elder, Lockhart made no secret that he was mocking his nephew.

Mellisa's eyes burned with anger, her beautiful face was covered with frost.

As soon as she was about to speak, Leonard grabbed her wrist, and his soft, low-pitched words came out. "Uncle, you're thinking too much. Since I am the heir to the Adler family, who do you think would dare to laugh at me?"

"As for my current condition, I consider this a test. After all, as the eldest brother, I always want to set an example for my younger siblings. I want to show that people value their abilities and skills more than their outlook. It's better to be crippled than small-witted and easy to manipulate. This should be enough of a lesson for you to learn."

Leonard's sarcasm made Lockhart and his son pause for a moment.

He warned them to be careful that Luke would become trash in the future.

The fake smile on Lockhart's face also gradually subsided. He looked at Leonard deeply, and then said to the driver, "What are you waiting for, go!"

The caddy passed, and a faint glow appeared on Luke's line of sight.

As the car drove off, Leonard turned to face Mellisa. "What did you want to say?"

"Nothing, I just can't understand why they are so arrogant."

Just now, she really wanted to defend Leonard, but she was stopped by the man himself.

The two of them then continued to walk slowly together. The man came closer to Mellisa and said, "You don't need to get involved with them. This is my fight, don't you interfere. When you see them in the future, try to stay away."

A faint smile appeared on Mellisa's cheeks. "Young Master, do you think I can't handle them?"

Leonard scoffed, and his tone was slightly aggressive. "You have nothing to do with this! Don't be stubborn!"

Couldn't she just be nice and calm for once?

"Since I am your personal servant, it should be my duty to protect you."

Melissa's temperament has always been like this. What she decides, even if she has to fight tooth and nails, she would still do it.

Leonard frowned for a moment, then lifted his gaze still with a sullen face. "Your job is to stay with me every day, and don't worry about anything else."

"Oh." Mellisa curtly answered, and kept walking.

At this moment, Leonard panicked.

What's with this submissive air?!

Leonard noticed Mellisa's fading figure, and walked again when he came to his senses. "What do you mean?"

Mellisa kept her pace, facing Leonard with a smile on her eyes. "What you just said... I dare not disobey."

Hah?!

Leonard looked suspicious, did Mellisa take the wrong medicine?!

This woman suddenly turned so empathetic, so he panicked.

"Wait!" Leonard stood still and whispered against his back.

Mellisa looked back and turned around, her expression showed indifference. "What is it?"

Leonard stretched out his left hand confidently. "My leg hurts, help me."

A trace of helplessness passed through Melissa's eyes. After thinking about it, she finally stopped arguing with her thoughts, walked back to the man, and firmly supported him with his shoulders.

...

After dinner, Mellisa took a shower and returned to the master bedroom.

Starting tonight, she would be living in a room with Leonard.

Even though she had lived together before, time had passed.

In order to prevent Leonard from discovering her identity and to keep her promise to Leonhart, Mellisa wrapped her hair in a towel while thinking of precautions.

At this time, Leonard fumbled a few times in the air, and took out a few small bottles from the bedside table. "Come here and take this medicine."

Mellisa's heart tightened, and she stopped from drying her hair. "I'm not sick, what medicine should I take?"

Leonard threw the small bottle straight into the blanket. "Then you will help me take a bath now, and I will see if you will faint from the heatstroke!"

Mellisa dropped the towel and stood on the spot.

She couldn't help but have to help the man take a bath since Leonard couldn't see. But the best reason to escape this was the heatstroke. And yet, this problem had been solved by Leonard!

When Leonard heard footsteps, he faintly raised the corners of his lips and explained, "These meds are for increasing immunity. I asked Lawrence directly, and he said that your heat stroke was caused by the high temperature in the shower."

"These are all normal nutritional supplements. You can try them a few days first. Next time you help me take a shower, you'll know if it works."

Mellisa looked at Leonard with a strange look. Even if she wanted to see if it worked, she didn't have to help him take a bath, did she?!

She took a small vial from the blanket and looked at it, only to find that the drug label had been removed.

"I won't hurt you, trust me." Leonard put his hands behind his head in a very relaxed posture.

Mellisa pulled the corners of her mouth, poured some pills, then picked up the cup of water on the bedside table, and lifted her head.

Leonard was slightly taken aback by such a sight.

From start to finish, he didn't ask any other questions.

He didn't even smell.

This woman did not suspect him at all!

With this, Leonard was truly overjoyed, and even his toes under the blanket began to tremble.

Mellisa put the medicine bottle back on the bedside table and glanced at the clock on the wall. "It's almost nine o'clock, you should rest early."

"Where are you going?" Leonard felt that Mellisa was about to leave!

Mellisa took her eyes off the clock, blinked her eyes, and said, "I'm going to take a break."

Leonard felt that the woman was lying and deceiving him.

But he still nodded nonchalantly, and pulled the blanket up to his chest. "Okay, turn off the light."

The lights went out and everything became silent.

The soundproofing of the master bedroom was great, and they could even hear each other's breathing at close range.

Mellisa listened intently to Leonard's even breaths, then carefully got off the bed, and left the room a few seconds later.

In the dark light, Leonard suddenly opened his eyes at the moment when the door was closed, and his eyes were bright and cold.

It's getting late, where did she go?!

Leonard narrowed his eyes, opened his blanket, and got out of bed.

...

Outside the courtyard of the villa, Mellisa dodged all the guards, walked around the corner, stood under a dark and lonely tree, and made a phone call.

"Search and check all the latest records about Luke."

The other party was surprised. "Three months or five months?"

Mellisa thought for a moment, and her tone was cold. "Better be half a year!"

She wanted to know what Luke did to Leonard after he returned to Bandung!

"Okay, but… Boss, you've just got busted by that person, so be careful."

The reminder from the other party made Mellisa's heart heavy in an instant.

She curled her fingertips, and her eyes were cold. "Okay!"

As she hung up, Mellisa felt a little confused.

She stood under a tree, looking up at the dark sky with mixed feelings in her heart.

She didn't know if changing her mind was a blessing or a curse.

At this time, Mellisa sighed, and turned around to return to the villa.

Not far away, however, an indifferent voice suddenly entered her hearing.

"I can give you information about Luke."
