Chapter 167

Melody gladly accepted Wilmot’s invitation, saying. Til treat you to a meal, just choose whatever you want to eat today. If it wasn’t for your brooch and hat saving the day, I might not even be here now as Yolanda wouldn’t have let things slide so easily. Thank you for doing me a big favor today. and I’ll always remember it. If you ever need anything. 111 be there to help you.”

Melody’s sincerity was evident in her ey

Melody asked. “What is it?”

eyes, which touched Wilmot’s heart and he subconsciously joked, “I do have a need”

Wilmot replied. “My son needs a mother.”

Melody’s expression froze with her eyes widening in surprise, but after just two seconds, she quickly regained her composure and laughed at herself, Mr. Sherman, don’t joke with me. You’re a fashion stylist, always at the forefront of style, how could you have such a peculiar taste?”

Melody found herself stupid as she had thought Wilmot was serious for a moment.

Wilmot nodded and said with a natural expression, “Alright, I’m not joking anymore, but I’ll still treat you to dinner today because Shane insisted he has to treat you to a meal. If you don’t mind the trouble of having a kid around, can I bring him along!”

Melody agreed.“Of course, I can also check how well he’s recovering.”

“Good” Wilmot’s relaxed and natural demeanor made Melody quickly forget his earlier joke.

While Wilmot called the nanny, Melody sent a message to James.

After sending the message. Melody looked up to see Wilmot gazing at her, and Wilmot suddenly asked with a smile, “What’s this? Are you in a relationship? Reporting your whereabouts?”

Melody replied, “No, it’s just someone under my business parmer,”

Wilmot nodded and made a gesture of invitation guiding her into the car before they headed to the kindergarten together.

Upon arrival, Melody glanced at the name of the kindergarten, realizing it was the most exclusive kindergarten in Silverlake, with annual mition fees exceeding 40 thousand dollars.

As Mabel had attended this kindergamen back then, Melody had been left in the countryside to fend for herself, but Melody didn’t feel envious because the years she spent with Quentin were the most carefree times of her life.

However, she knew that ever since the boarded that ship to Silverlake, there was no going back.

While Melody was lost in thought, Wilmot returned to the car with Shane, who was very outgoing and shouting before he even saw her, “Angel, where are you?”

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Melody didn’t dare to turn around because she feared her face would shatter the child’s image of an angel, so she hesitated and was unsure how to respond.

Wilmot gently reprimanded Shane upon sensing Melody’s discomfort. “Shane, don’t be rude. She has a name, you can call her Melody”

Shane then lowered his voice to greet, Ti Melody, I’m Shane‘

Melody slowly turned around as she thought, ‘Shane called me angel, probably thinking I look as beautiful as an angel.”

But when she turned, she didn’t see fear or disappointment in Shane’s eyes, Instead, he looked at her with intense admiration and said, “Angel, I finally see you.”

Shane could say more, Wilmot lightly tapped his head. “I told you to call her Melody.”

Before 5

“Ouch!” Shane rubbed his head before correcting himself. “Melody”

Melody couldn’t help but ask, “Shane, aren’t you afraid of me? I’m not very good–looking.”

Shane shook his head vigorously. “Not at all, I’ve never met an angel before, but my teacher said angels look different from us ordinary people. Melody, you look different, so you must be an angel, right?“”

Melody couldn’t help but laugh and looked at Wilmot, saying, “You’re going to have your hands full in the future. With Shane being so charming and sweet–talking, he’s bound to make a lot of girls cry due to complications.”

“That’s not true. I’m no

not sweet–talking but telling the truth Shane corrected her because she was indeed an angel to him.

Wilmot nodded in agreement. “You saved Shane, so you’re his guardian angel. There’s nothing wrong with that.

Melody felt a strange warmth in her heart and looked at Shane with newfound a lection.

Chapter 167

She had never liked children because her birth had indirectly caused her mother’s death, but Shane made her change her mind.

Then, Melody changed the topic, saying, “Shane, give me your hand, let me check your pulse”

Shane obediently extended his hand, his eyes shining with excitement. “Melody, are you going to cast a spell on

Melody gently nodded. “Yes, so you need to stay still and cooperate with me.”

“Okay” Shane agreed and Melody seriously began to check his pulse, not noticing Wilmot watching them with a gentler gaze than usual.

A minute later, Melody released Shane’s hand and turned to Wilmot, informing. “Mr. Sherman, you can rest assured as Shane is completely healthy now, with no lingering effects.

Wilmot breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good, the doctors from the hospital said the same that I could safely send him to kindergarten, but I was still worried and only let him attend half–days. Hearing this from you, I can let him stay at school all day starting tomorrow,”

As they were talking, the driver stopped the car at the entrance of an upscale private restaurant

Wilmot explained. “This is a place Shane loves to come to, and he insisted on bringing you here. The environment here is nice, and the food is varied, take a look and see what you’d like to eat

Melody nodded before getting out of the car while Shane eagerly look her hand, and they walked into the restaurant together, choosing a table by the window.

Wilmot handed Melody the menu gentlemanly, and just as Melody was about to order, she noticed a call figure at the restaurant entrance

The call and handsome guy, with deep eyes and sensuous yet cold lips, was dressed in a white shirt and trousers, the shirt collar was undone and the sleeves were rolled up, revealing his tanned skin.

Everything about him seemed to shine, standing out even among a crowd of suited individuals; but what was most striking was his powerful presence with a cold aura even when he was only standing there casually.

Realizing that it was Ken, Melody instinctively straightened her back, her mind flashing to their wedding photo, feeling a pang of guilt.

But then she couldn’t help but smile wryly, comforting herself that her wedding photo with Ken was just an unimportant piece of paper, so it wouldn’t matter even if she had something with Wilmot.

With that thought, Melody decided to ignore Ken and quickly looked away,
