Stop, Your Grace!

“Uh－huh.” Sandy nodded.

At that time, when she heard these words, she was also very surprised.

“It’s too exasperating. I don’t know what she did to John. He actually fascinated her so much.”

Beatrix frowned and said displeasure.

“Mom, how can you say that?” Sandy warned: “It was her who should have married John, but now he just doesn’t want to change.”

As soon as this was said, Beatrix became even more angry.

“How could you say that? I did this for whom? You wholeheartedly helped your good sister, did she thank you? Besides, how did her dirty body marry into the family? If she was abandoned by John on the wedding, that would be a shame foe us.”

“Enough, stop!”

Anthony interrupted her impatiently.

Beatrix glanced at Sandy, sat down beside Anthony and said softly, “You see, Melody is not coming back now, and we can’t control her and John. What can we do?”

He looked at her, frowned and scolded, “Why are you so disappointing? John has not been tempted by your repeated efforts.”

“You can’t blame my daughter. I can’t say for sure what seductive methods Melody used.”

Beatrix protected her daughter and wouldn’t let him say anything bad.

Anthony pondered for a long time and said slowly, “This matter should be discussed from a long－term perspective. We must not let the family members know that we have changed people.”

He wanted Melody to come back to live and watch her and not let her do little tricks, but now that things had become like this. So they have to find another way to deal with everything before things got serious.

It is best to let him give up the idea of marrying Melody completely.

If she married into that family, she would definitely oppose him. This kind of thing must not happen!

…

Out of The melody family.

Melody has been silent since she sat in the back of the car.

Looking at the colorful lights outside the window, tears blurred the line of sight.

Twenty－one years.

She spent 21 years in that family, but she didn’t expect to end up in such a place.

It seemed that she had never felt her father’s love since her mother left.

For so many years, she had lived like an outsider in that family, watching them laugh and watch them be happy.

It’s ironic to think about it. Beatrix even let her go back.

What was she doing back there?

Watching them to be happy?

Every time she thought of this, Melody’s heart got hurt.

She closed eyes, tears fell on her cheeks, and her mind actually flashed through the picture of joy when she was a child.

Her big brother…

“Melody, the protective talisman will be handed over to you when I leave. When you come to me one day, I will definitely protect you.”

The little boy took off the protective talisman from his neck and handed it to her.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Little Melody held his hand tightly and cried at the top of his voice, “I won’t let you go. Whoops…”

“Melody is good, I just stay at my aunt’s house temporarily, and now my father is going to pick me up. I promise you, as long as I have the chance, I will definitely pick you up and go with me, ok?”

“Really?” Little Melody choked up and asked.

“Really! I promise!” The little boy wiped the tears on her cheek. “You saved me. I must marry Melody as my wife. I will do what I say!”

Little Melody blushed. “I don’t want it!”

“No, no.” The little boy held her hand nervously.

There was a constant urging sound behind him. The little boy looked at Melody reluctantly and promised repeatedly, “You have to wait for me. I will come back to find you. I must wait for me.”

“I will …”

Watching his elder brother be picked up by the car, little Melody burst into tears until he disappeared in front of him…

Opening her eyes again, Melody raised her hand to wipe away tears from her cheeks.

She was leaning feebly on the back of the chair, absent－minded.

Apart from her mother, her brother was the best to her, but why hadn’t he come to pick her up after so many years?

Did he forget her?

Or, the promise made at the beginning was purely to get rid of her…
