Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 761, 762, 763, 764, and 765)

Chapter 761

That extremely handsome face in his impression was no different from a smelly cockroach in the gutter now.

However, he clearly looked 30-40% similar to Ken Swanson. Both of them were top-notch handsome men.

However, Ken Swanson looked more angular and oppressive. Ulric Swanson’s facial features and facial contours looked softer, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

Looks were indeed deceiving.

However, she was no longer deceived by Ulric Swanson. Melody Fox did not hide her disgust for Ulric Swanson. She said indifferently, “It’s inevitable to give a gift, but if you really want to give a gift, your absence from the wedding venue is the best gift for me.”

Ulric Swanson’s smile stiffened slightly, but he quickly revealed a hurt expression.

“Sister-in-law, your words are a little hurtful.”

Melody realized that she was not even willing to talk to him for a minute longer. She did not even bother to say goodbye. She just turned around and left.

Ulric Swanson looked at Melody Fox’s receding figure. The smile on his face quickly disappeared and was replaced by a cold expression.

He leaned back in his wheelchair and said to the plain-looking “servant” behind him, “Don’t you think she seems to hate me more than Ken Swanson?”

The “servant” spoke slowly, but her voice was exactly the same as Jennie Taylor’s.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Swanson. I rarely interacted with her and Ken Swanson before, so I can’t give you an answer. But one thing is for sure, this woman’s aura is very unusual.”

Even she was suppressed by Melody Fox’s cold expression for a moment.

“Heh, it’s impossible for my brother to marry an ordinary woman. If she didn’t have some ability, I don’t believe he would marry such an ugly woman.”

“You mean… Ken Swanson might be using her?”

Ulric Swanson raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t it obvious to anyone with a discerning eye? Only a woman in love like Melody would believe that Ken Swanson truly loves her.”

“Then can we… use this to sow discord between her and Ken Swanson?”

“You think I haven’t thought about it?”

If he could sow discord between them, he would have done it long ago. However, that ugly freak seemed to have treated him as an enemy since he was born.

Jennie Taylor was silent for a moment before saying in a low voice, “Mr. Swanson, I have to retreat first. The human mask on my face is about to dry up. It can only maintain for a little longer.”

“Go ahead. I’ll go see what Astrid Swanson is up to.”

Ulric Swanson’s eyes were filled with disdain for Astrid Swanson.

Soon, he arrived at Astrid Swanson’s room in a wheelchair.

When the door opened, Astrid Swanson seemed to be startled by the sudden opening of the door.

Seeing that it was him, she smiled.

“Son, why are you here?”

Ulric Swanson frowned and asked suspiciously, “What’s wrong? Why didn’t you go down to eat tonight? Why do you look so guilty?”

Astrid Swanson tried her best to adjust her emotions and said, “Your father grounded me and didn’t let me go out. How could I be in the mood to eat? As for what you said about feeling guilty… What’s there to feel guilty about?”

Ulric Swanson looked Astrid Swanson up and down and asked, “Are you really not hiding anything from me?”

“What can I hide from you? Seriously, you don’t even trust your own mother?”

Ulric Swanson curled his lips and said, “It’s not that I don’t believe you, but I don’t believe in your intelligence.”

“You…”

Ulric Swanson interrupted Astrid Swanson, “Since you’re grounded, just stay at home and don’t say or do anything. Otherwise, you’ll only ruin my plans.”

“I know. Your father and grandmother are starting to fall out with us. At this juncture, I won’t do anything.”

Only then did Ulric Swanson relax a little. He softened his tone and said, “You’re his wife after all. When his anger subsides in a few days, say a few more words to soften his tone. The grounding will be lifted.”

“Well…”

“Then I’m leaving.”

Ulric Swanson did not stay any longer and drove the wheelchair away.

Once the door was closed, Astrid Swanson heaved a long sigh of relief.

She looked at the door and thought to herself, Son, it’s not that I’m lying to you, but I have to help you get rid of some obstacles. This matter might fail or be exposed, so I have to hide it from you to avoid implicating you. I hope you can understand my difficulties.

Not long after Ulric Swanson left, there was another knock on the door.

Astrid Swanson’s entire body tensed up. She forced himself to be calm and said, “Go in.”

Soon, a servant came in quietly and whispered into Astrid Swanson’s ear, “It’s in.”

Astrid Swanson nodded and revealed a relieved expression.

“You did well. Go back and do what you were doing. Don’t let anyone find out that you left your post.”

“Yes!”

In the parking lot.

After Melody Fox confirmed that no one was following her, she opened the back door of the car and bowed as she got in. Both James Deeds and Aaron Berg were in the car.

Seeing her get into the car, Aaron Berg’s superior, James Deeds spoke first. “Miss Fox, we can’t contact Young Master, so we can’t enter the villa rashly. We can only look for you first.”

Melody Fox sensed the seriousness of the matter and quickly said seriously, “Ken Swanson was called to the study by his father. It might be inconvenient for him to answer your call. What happened?”

James Deeds looked at Aaron Berg.

“You do the talking.”

“Yes!” Aaron Berg went straight to the point. “I just received news that Astrid Swanson sent someone to the black market to buy rare herbs.”

“What’s the name of herbs?”

“The Red Letter Stone.”

Melody Fox’s eyelids suddenly lifted.

“The Red Letter Stone?” She frowned and said, “The Red Letter Stone is commonly known as Crane Top Red. It’s highly toxic… Has she already gotten it?”

“Yes.” Aaron Berg said guiltily, “I’m sorry, the other party used a fake identity to enter the black market. That’s why we only received the news now. This is my serious negligence. Please punish me.”

“This isn’t the time to talk about punishment Fox. How much did she buy?”

“There’s not much. Besides, she bought a diluted Red Letter Stone. She has to take it many times to produce the poison effect.”

“No wonder she didn’t come downstairs for dinner tonight. It turns out that she wanted to use a big move…”

Melody looked at James Deeds seriously and said, ” Astrid Swanson should be targeting Margaret. Get the spies in the villa to keep an eye on her and her people. If there’s any movement, report it to me immediately.”

“Yes!”

“Also, the person in charge of buying the Red Letter Stone on the black market must be found and find a way to find something about her or his weaknesses. It has to be something that can make him/her reveal Astrid Swanson.”

Aaron Berg quickly said, “Yes! Leave this to me.”

“Then I’ll go back first. I have to tell Ken Swanson about this as soon as possible.”

“Take care.”

James Deeds and Aaron Berg watched Melody leave with ugly expressions.

This was because they knew very well how important Margaret Swanson was to Ken Swanson.

If anything happened to Margaret Swanson, the two of them would not be able to escape punishment.

They did not dare to delay any longer. They began to get busy with the matter of the Red Letter Stone.

Chapter 762

After Melody Fox returned to the villa, she walked towards Margaret Swanson’s room.

Coincidentally, Margaret Swanson’s personal servant, Lucy Colt, carried the herbal medicine from Dr. Baxter and met Melody Fox at the door.

“Young Mistress.” Lucy Colt smiled as she approached her. Are you here to take a look at Mrs. Margaret? After Margaret drank your medicine, her body has already recovered to its original state. It’s just that Margaret finds it bitter. She drinks it every time it’s about to cool down. She’s like a child…

Although Lucy Colt was complaining about Margaret, the gentleness and loyalty in her eyes were about to overflow. Melody Fox knew Lucy Colt’s loyalty, so she did not avoid her. She directly took the bowl of medicine and held it in front of her nose to smell it carefully.

Under her master’s training, since she was young, her sense of smell was many times better than that of ordinary people.

Soon, Melody Fox smelled the scent of the Red Letter Stone.

The smell was faint and almost nonexistent, but she still caught it keenly.

The concentration of the Red Trust Stone inside was not high, so it did not immediately take Margaret’s life. However, as long as she drank it three times, the amount of poison would reach a level that could take her life.

However, even if the concentration was not high, with Margaret’s current physical condition, she would start to experience chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Fortunately, she had arrived at the right time. Otherwise, this medicine would have entered Margaret’s mouth.

Lucy Colt was not a scheming person, but she had been a servant for so many years and had seen all kinds of storms.

Seeing Melody Fox’s actions, she immediately realized that something was wrong. She lowered her voice and asked, ” Miss Fox, is there a problem with this medicine?”

Melody Fox looked around and pulled Lucy Colt into the room.

Margaret happened to be washing up in the bathroom, so she could not hear their conversation.

Melody softly told Lucy Colt about Astrid Swanson poisoning the medicine.

Lucy Colt’s expression immediately changed.

“I’ll tell Margaret now!”

“Don’t-” Melody Fox pulled Lucy Colt over and said, “Margaret is not someone who can hide her thoughts. We still don’t have concrete evidence to uncover Astrid Swanson. If Margaret finds out, it will only alert the enemy.”

Lucy Colt tried her best to calm down, but her voice could not help but tremble.

“Young Madam, I’ll listen to you. I’ll do whatever you say.

Melody Fox nodded slightly and continued to ask in a low voice, “Did you leave the place where the medicine was brewed today?”

“Yes…” Lucy Colt said guiltily, “This medicine needs to be fried until it’s half the size of its original form. I went to the toilet in the middle. It’s all my fault. I definitely won’t leave the toilet next time.”

“No.” Melody Fox shook her head and said, “What I want is for you to do the same as you did today. Find a reason to leave the place where the medicine is brewed and let them poison the medicine.”

“Ah? This… why?”

“The only way we can collect evidence of Astrid Swanson’s poisoning is to make them think that they haven’t been discovered.”

“Then this medicine… should I bring it back?”

“Bring it back. After bringing it back…” Her gaze shifted and landed on a small landscape tree in the room.

Lucy Colt was also very smart and immediately understood. “I understand what you mean. But if Margaret asks about the medicine, what should I say?”

“Is there coffee in the room?”

“We do.”

“Change it to coffee and give it to Margaret. Say that I changed her prescription.”

“Okay, I understand.”

“Yes, you have to pay attention to the other foods, in case they use another method to poison Margaret.”

“Don’t worry. Even if I don’t like it, I’ll keep an eye on everything Margaret eats and wears.”

Melody Fox nodded. Coincidentally, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

She quickly took out a black pill from her pocket and stuffed it into Lucy Colt’s hand. She said quickly, “If Margaret is still affected by it by accident and suffers from chest tightness and shortness of breath, give her this. This pill has a very strong antidote effect. After taking it, come and find me immediately.”

“Yes, I understand.”

As soon as Lucy Colt finished speaking, Margaret’s voice came from inside-

“Old Liang, who are you talking to?”

Melody immediately put on a smile and walked in as she spoke.

“Grandma, it’s me. I want to discuss the wedding with you… “Melody! I have something to tell you too.”

Margaret came forward in a good mood and said, “Come over quickly. I have something good for you. I specially asked someone to buy it today.”

Melody Fox gave Lucy Colt a look, hinting for her to soak in the coffee for the time being. Then, she smiled and followed Margaret to the bed.

Margaret took out a light brown brocade box the size of a phone from the bedside table as if she were presenting a treasure. She stuffed it into her hand and said, “I originally wanted the chef to make it, but after thinking about it, your culinary skills are better than those chefs, so I decided to give it to you.”

“And this is?”

“Open it and take a look.” Margaret winked at her slyly.

Melody Fox had already sensed that something was wrong. She lowered her head and opened the brocade box, only to see a well-dried piece of golden meat lying quietly inside.

The moment Melody Fox saw the thing clearly, two pink clouds appeared on his cheeks at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Money meat, also known as Niu Chong, had a very good effect on nourishing the kidneys and supporting the Yang. After the man ate it, it was very beneficial to them.

Of course, it was not wise to consume too much at once. Otherwise, it would be easy for his nose to bleed.

“Grandma…” Melody Fox did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Why are you doing this? There’s no need.”

Margaret Swanson said seriously, “Why not? I see that your guys haven’t had any children. The problem is in Ken Swanson! He wakes up earlier than a chicken every day and sleeps later than a dog. It would be strange if he had enough energy! We have to nourish him well.”

“Grandma…” Melody Fox’s face almost turned red.

She could already imagine Ken Swanson’s expression when she brought this thing to him.

He would probably be so angry that he would skin her alive. However, Margaret still stubbornly said, “Just do as I say and give him some every day. I heard that this stew is the best. Take it and cut some stew now. The quality of this golden meat is top-notch!”

“Grandma, forget it…”

Margaret Swanson’s face darkened.

“Melody, you have to listen to me on this matter. Otherwise, Grandma will really be angry.”

There was no other way. Under Margaret’s persuasion, Melody could only bite the bullet and agree.

Only then did Margaret Swanson’s expression ease up. She smiled again and asked, “Why did you say you were looking for me just now?”

Melody spouted nonsense, “About the wedding… I mean, is it possible to hold it as late as possible. Ken Swanson is quite busy now, and my Herbathrive can’t spare the time. It would be best if it can be arranged next year.”

“It’s too late next year. It’ll be inconvenient to hold a wedding when you’re pregnant. It’ll tire you out. How about this? I’ll try my best to hold it at the end of the year?”

“Alright.” Melody nodded. From the corner of her eye, she saw Lucy Colt carrying the bowl of medicine over.

Chapter 763

Melody Fox stood up from the chair and said, “Grandma, you should drink the medicine first. I saw that your body is almost recovered, so I changed to a less nourishing prescription to prevent excessive nourishment.”

Margaret nodded, took the bowl, pinched her nose, and took a sip.

Under Lucy Colt’s nervous gaze, Margaret looked at Melody in surprise and said, “Why is this medicine better? And this taste is a little familiar…”

Compared to Lucy Colt’s nervousness, Melody lied very naturally.

“I heard from Lucy Colt that you’re a little afraid of bitterness, so the herbs used this time didn’t taste bitter.”

Margaret said happily, “This is good. I can drink this medicine. The prescription you prescribed a few days ago was so bitter that I almost vomited bile.”

Melody Fox’s lips curved into a smile. After watching Margaret finish drinking coffee, she stood up and said goodbye with relief.

“Then I won’t disturb your rest. I’ll chat with you tomorrow.”

“Alright, alright. Hurry up and boil the soup. I reckon that when the soup is done, they should have finished chatting.” Melody nodded and left with the brocade box with mixed feelings.

Lucy Colt found an excuse to follow her and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Young Madam, is it okay to drink coffee every day at a time like this?”

“Yes, don’t worry coffee in the afternoon is hygroscopic. Even if you’re not sick, drinking it can dispel some of the arthritis. Almost everyone in the South is free of arthritis. Drinking this is beneficial.”

“That’s good. I’ll go back first. I’ll report to you if there’s anything.”

“Okay.”

Melody nodded and watched Lucy Colt return to her room.

However, when she lowered her head and saw the gold meat in her hand, her heart could not help but become heavy again.

This thing was really a hot potato…

However, she had no choice but to boil the soup. Margaret’ s importance to this matter exceeded her imagination. If she did not do as she was told, she would probably really be angry.

Old children were people like Margaret Swanson. The older they got, the more childish they became.

“Sigh…” Melody sighed heavily and went downstairs with the meat.

At this time, only one chef was left on duty in the kitchen, in case the host was hungry and wanted to eat supper at night.

Seeing Melody coming over, the chef asked in surprise, Young Madam, why are you here?”

“I’ll… make some soup. Go do your thing.”

She tried her best to send the chef away, but the other party admired Melody Fox’s culinary skills and refused to leave.

Helpless, Melody Fox could only open the brocade box in front of him.

The moment he saw the golden meat, the chef’s face immediately turned red. He said awkwardly, “Young Madam, I suddenly remembered that there is still some leftover kitchen trash that I haven’t thrown away. I’m going to throw them away…”

“Okay, go ahead.”

Melody tried her best to remain calm. She raised her hand and cut off a piece of golden meat, cutting it into thin strips of similar size.

However, what Melody did not know was that as soon as the chef walked out of the villa, he was stopped by Astrid Swanson’s people.

“Hey, Chef Liu, why is Young Madam going to the kitchen at this time?”

The man asked as he handed over a gold ring.

Chef Liu did not want to say it at first. After all, it was not easy to gossip about such things.

However, when he saw the heavy gold ring, Chef Liu still spoke about the money and meat.

“Money and meat…”

The servant heaved a sigh of relief and patted Chef Liu’s shoulder with a smile.

“Thank you. I thought Young Madam was hungry so that I could buy some supper for her.”

Chef Liu glared at the other party and said, “Kid, you’re too smart. Young Madam isn’t someone you can curry favor with casually. You should put away your thoughts and do your job well.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” The servant nodded repeatedly.

After Chef Liu disappeared from sight, the servant immediately called Astrid Swanson.

“Madam, you can rest assured. Melody didn’t discover anything.”

Astrid Swanson asked nervously, “Then why did she go to the kitchen after coming out of Margaret’s room?”

The servant smiled gently and said, “To make soup. Margaret gave Melody gold coins and meat to nourish Young Master’s body and give birth to a great-grandson for her. Margaret also mentioned this matter at dinner.”

“Phew…” Astrid Swanson let out a long breath and said, “It’s good that they didn’t find anything. We’ll continue tomorrow. We must be careful.”

“Yes!”

However, what the servant did not know was that just as he hung up the phone and returned to the villa, a black figure walked out from a hidden corner.

It was none other than Aaron Berg.

His fingers quickly typed on the phone and sent the contents of the conversation between the servant and Astrid Swanson to Melody.

Melody, who was focused on making soup, saw the message. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

She was laughing about money and meat, which made Astrid Swanson believe that she had not discovered the poison.

She cried because more and more people knew that she had “nourished” Ken Swanson’s body.

After about 15 minutes, the soup was finally ready.

Melody took a sip. The soup was fresh but not fishy. The fishy smell of the golden meat was completely covered. It tasted no different from ordinary pork rib soup.

This was too embarrassing. It was better to hide it from Ken Swanson for as long as possible.

Melody brought the soup upstairs. Ken happened to return to their room from Ramon Swanson’s study.

The two of them met at the door of the room. Ken Swanson’s gaze landed on the bowl of soup in her hand. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. “You don’t eat much supper. Are you not full tonight?”

Melody Fox tried her best to look natural.

“No, this is the soup I made for you.”

“Stew it for me?” Ken Swanson asked in joy and confusion, Why did you suddenly think of making soup for me today?” “Isn’t it because… you’ve been too busy these few days? Moreover, you can’t even eat when you’re busy. You have to find time to replenish your nutrition.”

Ken Swanson believed her words without a doubt. He took the bowl of soup and drank most of it in one go, ignoring the fact that it was still a little hot.

Melody had already scooped out the money and meat from the soup, so she was not afraid that he would find out what was inside.

She closed the door and changed the topic. “Why did Ramon Swanson look for you? You guys talked for about an hour, right?”

Ken Swanson did not hide it from her and said directly, There will be a personnel transfer tomorrow.”

“Reassignment?”

“Yes, a few of Ulric Swanson’s right-hand men at headquarters will be removed or transferred to other branches.”

Melody Fox’s eyes lit up and asked, “So this is the punishment for Ulric Swanson?”

Ken Swanson nodded and said, “His influence in the headquarters will be greatly weakened, so now, Xiang Jianxiong is no longer important. I’ll arrange for Shi Luo to coincidentally meet’ you tomorrow. As long as we pull Shi Luo over to our side, I’ll completely gain a foothold in the headquarters.”

“Okay, I understand. But you have to get James Deeds to send me another copy of Shiloh’s basic information.”

Chapter 764

The information that Melody Fox wanted was only about the other party’s appearance, personality, and so on. There was no need to go into detail.

Therefore, after Ken Swanson called James Deeds, James Deeds quickly sorted out Shiloh’s basic information and sent it to Melody Fox.

“Shilo’s going to Lin City for a meeting tomorrow. You might have to go to Lin City.”

Melody Fox nodded. “No problem. Send me the address of his restaurant or hotel when you find it.”

“Mm. Then take a look at the information first. I’ll take a shower first. I don’t know why, but I feel a little hot. My back is sweating a little and I’m not feeling well.”

Melody’s eyes widened.

“Do you… feel hot?”

Was the effect of the meat so good? It was almost comparable to that medicine…

“What’s wrong?” Ken Swanson observed her expression and thought that Melody Fox felt that something was wrong with his body. He asked in confusion, “Is there something wrong with me?”

“N-no!” Melody Fox quickly shook her head and said, Maybe it’s because your physique is more sensitive to heat. Go take a shower…”

She felt guilty and did not dare to look at Ken Swanson.

However, her reaction piqued Ken Swanson’s curiosity.

“Melody, are you hiding something from me?”

“No!” Melody Fox pretended to be calm and said, “There’s just something about Astrid Swanson.”

“Astrid Swanson?”

Melody Fox was afraid that Ken Swanson would think that something was wrong with the soup, so she quickly told him everything that had happened to Astrid Swanson.

“But you don’t have to worry too much. I’ve already explained everything to Lucy Colt. Margaret will be fine.”

Ken Swanson frowned.

“Astrid Swanson, that stupid pig… She actually dared to lay her hands on Grandma so quickly.”

“You can’t blame her for being stupid.”

Melody shrugged and told him about how she had deliberately provoked Astrid Swanson for the past two days.

“My consideration is that sooner or later, she will target Margaret again, so why don’t we take the initiative to attack and catch her like a turtle in a jar? However, Astrid can’t even last three days. This is something I didn’t expect.”

“She’s used to being pampered. In the past, no one dared to treat her with that kind of attitude. Of course, she can’t take this lying down. Your idea is right. Instead of waiting for them to make a move, it’s better to lure her out.”

“Yes, and Ulric Swanson probably doesn’t know about this. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let us find out so easily.”

Ken Swanson gave a half-smile. “No matter how scheming Ulric Swanson is, he’s still afraid of stupid teammates. The more Astrid Swanson hides it from Ulric Swanson, the more beneficial it will be for us to catch her.”

Melody Fox nodded. “This time, we must take the opportunity to get rid of Astrid Swanson. Although Astrid Swanson is stupid, she is very good at socializing. Ulric Swanson’s legs are inconvenient, and many things need Astrid Swanson’s help. Without Astrid Swanson’s help, I’m afraid he will lose many people.”

After Melody Fox finished speaking, she realized that Ken Swanson was looking straight at her.

She subconsciously avoided his gaze and asked, “… Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Nothing.”

Ken Swanson shook his head and said, “You seem to know my brother better than me.”

“This…” Melody Fox bit her lower lip, not knowing what to tell Ken Swanson.

She did not want to be as vague as before, nor did she want to lie to him, but… after telling the truth, would Ken Swanson believe her? He would think that she was a lunatic…

Just as Melody Fox didn’t know how to explain, Ken Swanson asked her, “Is this one of the things you don’t want to say?”

Melody Fox pursed her lips and said, “I’m sorry… I’ll explain everything to you in the future.”

Ken Swanson nodded and leaned over to plant a light kiss on her forehead.

“Don’t feel pressured. I’ll say it again. When you want to say whatever Fox wants to say, I’ll listen to you. Before that, I won’t ask you anymore.

Melody Fox’s eyes reddened.

“Thank you…”

“Didn’t I tell you not to thank me? It makes us seem distant.”

Ken Swanson rubbed her head and said, “I’m going to take a shower.”

“Yeah, I’ll take a look at Shi Luo’s information first.”

Soon, the sound of water in the bathroom could be heard.

Ken Swanson’s figure disappeared into the hot air of the bathroom.

Melody could see Ken Swanson’s muscular figure through the frosted glass door of the bathroom.

She could not help but feel a little nervous.

This was their first night after “acting the real thing”. It was destined to be different from other nights.

Wait a minute…

Melody Fox: You Perverted Girl, What Are You Thinking?

Melody Fox patted his face and forced himself to stop thinking about random things. She focused on Shiloh’s information.

To Melody Fox’s surprise, although Shi Luo started from the bottom and slowly reached the current upper echelons of the Swanson Group, he was not old. He had just crossed the threshold of 30 years old, about the same age as Wilmot Sherman.

To be able to become a higher-up of the Swanson Group at such a young age, his ability must be extraordinary.

After Ken Swanson came out of the shower, Melody Fox had just finished reading Shi Luo’s information.

She turned around and saw Ken Swanson loosely wrapped in a towel. He had a lazy expression as he casually pointed at the bathroom and said, “Go take a shower. You’re afraid of the cold. The bathroom is still warm.”

Melody Fox’s heartbeat became uncontrollably irregular again.

She lowered her head and quickly took her pajamas into the bathroom. She did not make any eye contact with Ken Swanson the entire time.

It was funny. She had clearly been married once, but she was actually still an inexperienced girl.

She was basically a blank piece of paper with no experience in that aspect. Even her first kiss… was actually dedicated to Ken Swanson.

When she came out of the shower, the lights in the

bedroom were all turned off. Ken Swanson only left a small orange night light at the head of the bed.

“Gulp…”

Melody Fox swallowed hard and walked to the bed nervously.

The coral blanket was soft and abnormal. As soon as she got under the blanket, Ken Swanson leaned over.

They had shared the same bed a few nights ago, but neither of them had crossed the line. Before they slept, there was almost a mountain between them.

And now, Ken Swanson was wearing the same shower gel as her. As he approached, the fragrance became stronger.

Melody Fox felt as if his acupuncture point had been fixed. He wanted to move but did not dare to. Ken, who was about to move, realized that her entire body had already stiffened like a mummy.

Ken Swanson was about to kiss her face, but then, as if sensing her nervousness, he suddenly stopped.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his body. He hugged her quietly and did not continue the next move.

Melody had been waiting for Ken Swanson with his eyes closed. However, after closing his eyes for a long time, she saw that Ken Swanson was just hugging her and not moving. She could not help but open her eyes in confusion. However, as soon as she opened her eyes, she heard Ken Swanson say softly, “Don’t be nervous. I’ll wait for you to be ready. As long as you’re not ready, I won’t force you… Our wedding night can be postponed indefinitely.”

Melody Fox’s heart skipped a beat. There was an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

Her heart, which had been full of holes and wounds, seemed to be filled with sweet cotton candy.

Chapter 765

“Thank you…”

Melody Fox could not help but thank him again.

She did not want to be estranged from Ken Swanson, but she could not help but express her gratitude.

She was very sure of her feelings for Ken Swanson, but at the moment, she was indeed not completely prepared.

Ken Swanson gently curved his lips and planted a kiss on the back of her neck. He got up and turned off the bedside lamp.

Darkness quickly enveloped the two of them, so Melody Fox did not notice how forbearing Ken Swanson’s expression was.

He was a normal, hot-blooded man. He had even drunk a bowl of soup before taking a shower. It would be a lie to say that he didn’t want to.

However, compared to this pain, he wanted to respect Melody Fox’s wishes more.

This was probably love.

If he wanted her, it was love. If he did not want her tonight, it was love.

After an unknown period of time, Melody Fox’s breathing gradually stabilized.

After Ken Swanson confirmed that Melody Fox was asleep, he carefully moved his hand away from her waist and quietly got up to take a cold shower.

The cold shower was still effective. His desire dissipated almost instantly. Only then did he feel a little sleepy. He fell asleep, exhausted both physically and mentally.

Vaguely, he felt as if his body had suddenly soared into the air.

When he tried to open his eyes, he realized that he was floating in the air of an operating theater.

“Where are we?”

He wanted to speak, but he realized that he was just a transparent mist.

Before he could figure out what was going on, the door of the operating theater was suddenly kicked open.

The next second, a man who looked exactly like him barged into the operating theater with a vicious aura.

No, that wasn’t right. This person didn’t look exactly like him. It was him..

With his eyes and aura, who else could it be but him?

But since his own people were there, who was he?

Ken Swanson tried hard to see what else was in the operating theater. Suddenly, there was the sound of glass shattering. He suddenly opened his eyes and realized that he was still lying on the bed in the bedroom.

“Sorry, did I wake you up?”

Melody held the broken pieces of the soup bowl and said apologetically, “I didn’t see this bowl on the ground. It was accidentally broken.”

“I’m fine,” Ken Swanson replied as he shook his head reflexively. However, he looked around in confusion.

Was he dreaming just now?

But that dream was so real…

“What’s wrong?” Melody Fox noticed that Ken Swanson’s face was a little pale. He took a few steps forward and asked, “Did you have a nightmare?”

“I guess so…” Ken Swanson smiled and said, “That dream was very strange.”

Melody Fox subconsciously recalled the dream she had in her previous life two days ago. However, she quickly suppressed the memory and asked curiously, “So you also have nightmares? I’m very curious about what your nightmares will be like. Tell me.”

“In that dream, I…”

Ken Swanson had just finished speaking when there was a knock on the door.

The butler’s voice came-

“Young Master, Sir is asking if you’re ready. He wants to go to the company with you.”

“Tell him to wait two minutes.”

As Ken Swanson spoke, he could not care less about the strange dream. He quickly took off his pajamas and changed his clothes in front of Melody.

Melody Fox quickly turned around and said, “I’ll go downstairs and prepare breakfast for you to eat on the way.” Then, she quickly ran out of the room.

Seeing this, Ken Swanson could not help but smile.

In front of others, she was the omnipotent miracle doctor, Miss Fox. But behind others, she would also be shy, blush, and run away at a loss…

Moreover, only he could see her like this.

How nice…

Ken Swanson was in a good mood.

Melody quickly ran downstairs and bumped into Margaret Swanson, who was about to eat breakfast.

Margaret’s eyes lit up when she saw her coming down with a red face.

Her great-grandson seemed to have a chance!

“Go quickly…” Margaret turned around and whispered to Lucy Colt, “Ask the kitchen to make a nourishing breakfast for the couple.”

“Yes.” Lucy Colt nodded and walked towards the kitchen.

Of course, Ken Swanson did not eat breakfast. He only brought two slices of bread that Melody Fox forced on him. Today, Astrid Swanson still did not go downstairs. Margaret did not notice anything amiss and only felt that it was quiet.

After breakfast, she patted Melody Fox’s hand and said, “I called your grandmother this morning. Her phone is switched off. Did something happen?”

Melody knew very well that Grandma was just unwilling to accept the fact that the Fox family was falling apart, so she lied to herself and hid in the countryside. She didn’t see or contact anyone.

With mixed feelings, she said half-truthfully, “Ever since Yolanda Fox’s accident, Grandma has been in a bad mood. Now that she’s living in the Fox family’s hometown, I’m afraid she wants to be alone, so she turned off her phone.” “I see… but you still have to tell her in detail about something as important as your marriage. How about this? I’ll take another week’s worth of medicine and go to the countryside to look for her next week. You’ll come with me.” “Alright.” Melody nodded. She also missed her grandmother a little. She wanted to take this opportunity to see if her grandmother was willing to see her.

Although Grandma used to dote on her and protect her, she was also a smart person. She must have seen that Yolanda Fox had her own schemes, so she was very disappointed in her.

After all, in her grandmother’s heart, she should have been an innocent, kind, and flawless granddaughter from the countryside.

However, she did not know if Grandma’s anger would subside a little when they met again.

But no matter what her grandmother’s attitude was, life still had to go on.

After Melody Fox went out, she contacted Dorrene Downey directly and arranged to meet at Dorrene Downey’s house.

After the misunderstanding between her and Ken Swanson was resolved, the law firm took the initiative to contact her yesterday. Their attitude was so good that they were a little obsequious.

After considering for a few minutes, Melody finally chose the divorce lawyer from Feiyang Law Firm for Dorrene Downey.

The lawyer was embarrassed to see them again at Dorrene Downey’s home.

“I’m really sorry, I…”

Melody was afraid that Dorrene Downey would investigate further, so she quickly interrupted the lawyer and said, “It’s okay. We know that you have something difficult to say. Let’s get to the point first. Her mother-in-law broke into her house yesterday and even attacked her and Cindy.”

When Dorrene Downey heard this, she reached out and took off her mask.

Her swollen cheek was immediately exposed to the lawyer.

Dorrene Downey’s eyes were red as she said, “Cindy was shocked. He didn’t sleep well the entire night and only fell asleep in the morning…”

The lawyer was shocked. He frowned deeply and said, Preposterous. These people are actually so arrogant! Ms. Wallrich, don’t worry. I’ll definitely do my best to help you successfully sue for divorce. I’ll also help you get the greatest benefits. I’ll think of a way to make them cough up everything they’ve plundered from you over the years!”

Dorrene Downey nodded and shook her head.

“I don’t want a single cent of money. I just want to leave Cindy to me.”

“Of course. I won’t let Cindy be snatched away by their family. Otherwise, how can I be considered a gold-medal divorce lawyer?”

“Thank you…”

“You’re welcome. It’s what I should do. However, you have to tell me in detail what you’ve experienced all these years.”
