Stanley ended the call and turned around. He saw the children running over to him, and his handsomeface lit up with a smile. He bent down and opened his arms wide to greet the children.

“Did you have fun riding the horses?”

The children rushed into his arms and responded excitedly. “It was so much fun! This is our secondtime riding horses!”

“Your second time?” Stanley repeated. “Did Mommy take you horseback riding too?”

“Yeah, in Milania!”

He stroked the children’s heads, thinking. They sure have been given all the best things in life.

Monica came over to them just then. She bent down and held the bottles of water out to the children.“Samuel, Pamela, do you want some water? You’ve been sweating a lot.”

Thanks. Miss Monica!”

The reporters snapped photos of the children accepting the water from Monica.

“Help me open it, Daddy!” Samuel handed his bottle to Stanley.

Monica had a sunny smile on her face as she asked, “Why don’t I help you, Pamela?” As she spoke,she took the bottle from the little girl.

Stanley and Monica opened the water bottles in their hands almost simultaneously and bent down topass them to the children. It was a warm and lovely sight.

The children looked up with bright smiles. Thank you. Again, this scene was caught on camera.

The sense of adoration between Stanley and the children formed the perfect image of a harmoniousfamily.

As for Monica, she knew the reporters were taking photos, so she made sure to plaster on just theright. expression.

The photos looked exactly like portraits of a family of four!

Once Stanley lifted his eyes off the children and spotted the reporters, he quickly glanced at the smilingMonica. His smile faded instantly, and he walked away with the children.

He wouldn’t let anyone get the wrong impression!

Monica was startled as she watched them leave, and her heart grew a little cold.

Over at Repulse Bay in Riverdale, Melinda was using her spare time to research a cure for gastricdiseases inside the medical lab. She was hoping she could cure Stanley’s condition before she left.

Just then, her phone rang, and a look of delight immediately appeared on her face when she saw whowas

calling. She took off her gloves and answered the phone. “Hey.”

“Are you busy working?” Stanley’s voice was warm and familiar.

“Have you given any serious consideration to my question?”novelxo.com fast update

“What question?”

“The one you said you’ll answer when I return,” Stanley reminded.

Melinda blushed. She loved him, of course. Why would she put up with all this humiliation if she didn’tlove him?

Nevertheless, could she love him? They were from two entirely different worlds, after all.

“What’s the matter? What’s on your mind?” Stanley’s razor-sharp senses picked up on the fact that herattention had drifted.

“When are you coming back?” she asked concernedly.

“We’ll leave the first thing tomorrow morning.” His voice felt like a warm embrace. “Do you wantanything? I’ll buy you a gift.”

“Do you think I can’t afford to buy it myself?” she asked with a smile.

“Of course not. That’s not what I meant.

“Do you know what a gift means, then?” Melinda walked over to the window and stared off into thedistance. “A gift is supposed to be a surprise. The giver shouldn’t be asking the receiver what theywant.”

She seemed to be in a good mood as she added, “I’ll like anything that you give me. And no matterwhat you give me, I’ll treasure it!” It was as if she was giving him a love lesson.

At her response, Stanley’s spirits were lifted, too. “Alright. I got it,” he said with a chuckle.

Melinda chuckled along with him, though her heart ached.

“Your mother’s back. Her smile vanished as soon as she saw Jennifer’s car pulling into the driveway.“I’m hanging up now if there’s nothing else,” she said softly.

“I want to congratulate you,” Stanley quickly added.

“What do you mean?”

He laughed. “Congratulations on winning over my mother in just a couple of days! She’s a hard one toplease, you know.”

Melinda didn’t understand what he was saying.

Nevertheless, she was a little anxious as she saw Stephanie helping Jennifer into the house. Jennifercould be making her way up to the lab any minute now.

Meanwhile, Jennifer walked into the living room with a stormy expression. “Where’s Melinda?” sheasked. coldly.

“She’s upstairs, Miss Fox,” a maid responded timidly.
