His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 91: Perhaps She Was Protecting You 

On the other side of the line, Tyrone was still talking non-stop, persuading Sarah to ask her little sister, Melody, to participate in the variety show.

Sarah had been planning to focus on her career in the entertainment industry wholeheartedly.She knew what her agent meant by inviting Melody to the variety show, so Sarah was also feeling tempted.

The variety show itself was already a rare opportunity.If she lost this chance, there was a possibility that she wouldn't have a similar chance to help her gain fame.

The phone still against her ear, Sarah carefully raised her head, glancing over Melody's direction.Her little sister was quietly eating her pizza, neither fast nor slow.

Melody was poised even when eating pizza that Sarah could sense Melody's elegance even from a distance.

As Sarah stared at the face that was similar to hers, she thought of the variety show.

But she still couldn't make up her mind.

In Sarah's eyes, Melody was cold and had a straightforward personality.

Sarah also thought Melody was a bit introverted and did not like interacting with others.

Most importantly, Melody was still a student.

Although the show was going to shoot on the weekend, Sarah was afraid that it would affect Melody's studies.

But to stop Tyrone from talking about the same topic over and over again, Sarah was planning to find a time to deal with this matter, "Rone, don't worry.I'll try to persuade my little sister later.If she agrees, I'll

inform you right away."

Sarah hung up after saying her piece, not waiting for the other party's reply.She returned to her seat and continued eating pizza, acting like her conversation with Tyrone did not happen.

Little did Sarah know that with Melody's superb hearing, her little sister already knew who she talked to and what their topic was.

The pair of sisters silently ate for a few minutes before Sarah finally stopped hesitating.

She pretended to randomly start a topic with her little sister, "Mellie, you watched my shoot earlier, right? Do you think you'll like being seen on TV?"

Without hesitation, Melody shook her head.Her indifferent expression did not even have a fluctuation.

After receiving Melody's reaction, Sarah didn't entertain the idea of inviting her sister to a variety show anymore.

Anyway, she had already expected this answer before she asked.

Based on Melody's personality, it was obvious that she wouldn't like it.

Sarah displayed a light smile, relief spelled on her face.

Finally, she asked and received an answer.

"That's good.Not everyone likes being exposed to the public"

As she realized that Melody was staring intently at her, Sarah forced a smile which ended up looking awkward.

She pretended to be calm as she replied, "It's really fine, I'm just asking.It's not good to chat while eating.Let's continue eating!"

Melody observed her sister who smiled awkwardly.

She felt that she did not understand her older sister.

According to what Tyrone said, if Sarah attended that variety show, then her popularity would soar and she would gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.

Since that was the case, then shouldn't Sarah be the one to tell her about it first? However, even after such a long time, Sarah only made a move today.

Sarah didn't even get straight to the point and merely probed her.

Why would her sister rather endure getting bullied and shoot in the water during her menstruation rather than ask her for help? Melody really didn't understand! During their meal, Sarah didn't say anything anymore.

When they were done, they settled the bill and walked out of the restaurant.

As soon as they left the restaurant, they bumped into Iven and Seth.

When Iven saw the pair of Sullivan sisters, he couldn't help but get proud.He raised his eyebrows, arrogantly looking at Seth.He happily said, "I'm right! If you want to eat, you should go to the latest and most popular restaurant.Because when you go to one, there would be a great chance to meet a beautiful girl.Mr.Harrison, are you satisfied with these two beautiful girls?"

Sarah felt quite happy meeting familiar faces.She was especially happier seeing Seth.

This way, she could create chances between Seth and Melody, simply because there was no reason to not do so.

"Mr.Adams, what a coincidence! We just finished eating then we met the two of you.Are you going to eat here as well?"

Just when Iven was about to nod, Seth reacted one step ahead of him.

Seth opened his mouth and replied with a cold tone, "We're not eating here."

Surprised, lven quickly turned his head and looked at Seth.

Seeing the serious expression on Seth's face, he got the memo and reacted.

The two girls just finished their meal.

If they went and ate in the restaurant, then wouldn't they have missed hanging out with the girls? Iven cooperated well and quickly added, "Yeah, we're also done eating.Right now, we're merely looking for a place for a drink to digest the food.Do you mind if we go together?"

Sarah glanced at Melody, checking if her little sister had something to say.

Seeing her Melody quietly standing on the side and her cold face that didn't have any expression, Sarah took the initiative to decide for the both of them and replied, "Let's not drink.Walking is enough to help digest what we just ate"

After getting along with Melody these days, Sarah had a rough understanding of Melody's personality.

Sarah knew that Melody only looked cold, but she was easy-going and had a good character.

Iven sneakily stole glances from Seth.

Seeing no signs of objection on Seth's face, Iven could only voluntarily starve and nod against his will.

"Alright, let's go take a walk then!"

Coincidentally, there was a park next to the restaurant.The four of them decided to stroll in the park.

Iven and Sarah were both lively so they easily got along.

On the other hand, Seth followed Melody, the two of them lagging behind.

Melody walked slowly, so gradually, they unknowingly distanced themselves from the other pair.

Seth's eyes were glued to Melody.

On her smooth forehead, there were two barely noticeable lines from slightly furrowing her eyebrows.

There seemed to be something occupying Melody's mind, making her face look less cold and distant.

Previously, she was like an aloof and untouchable goddess but now, she seemed more human.

It gave people the impression that she was more approachable.

Seth spoke slowly, his voice still deep and husky but had a tinge of rare gentleness, "Are you feeling troubled?"

His voice felt like a cool breeze as it brushed past Melody's ears.

She raised her eyelids, looking up to him, her eyes filled with confusion.

She had to admit that Seth was indeed powerful.

He was someone born with noble temperament.

Even the smallest move from him was eye-catching.

He always stood at the top, looking down at everyone.

However, at this moment, the same man was giving her a strong sense of security.

It made her feel like she could trust him with anything.

Noticing the change in her expression, Seth continued talking, "Mellie, actually, there are multiple things you don't have to bear by yourself.You should try relying on others sometimes.If you share what you're thinking, there will be one more person who could help you or at least give you an opinion you can refer to."

Melody tilted her head to take a better look at him.

This was the first time she was told to rely on someone other than herself.

Ever since she was young, everyone around her had been telling her that the only person she could rely on and trust was herself.

But after thinking about Seth's words for a while, Melody thought that what he said made sense.She decided to accept his suggestion. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Melody started talking about the matter about Sarah.

Seth understood what part Melody was confused with.

Although she was a genius and had a lot of power, she had never experienced kinship before.

People at the top were lonely.

Melody, who had been living in the countryside without family ever since she was a child, suddenly received care from her sister, Sarah.

It was beyond her knowledge so she didn’t know how to react to it.It was something that couldn't be learned just by studying.

A faint smile crept on Seth's handsome face, making him look brighter.

His eyes were filled with interest as he looked at her.

With a low and magnetic voice, he said, "Have you ever thought that maybe she's trying to protect you?"

"Protect me?"

Melody's voice was filled with both confusion and surprise.Seth hummed in agreement as he nodded slightly.

"Perhaps in your eyes, Sarah isn't as smart as you.But when people get along with each other, they only need to be considerate and act sincerely.Sarah knew that you don't like interacting with others.If you participated in the show, she knew it would affect your life.As your sister, she wanted to protect you from that so she didn't bring it up anymore!"

Melody wondered to herself, ‘To protect me, she would rather be bullied by other people rather than take the opportunity that will allow her to stand up for herself?’

'So it's like this?’
