Chapter 207 I'll Be Good

The winter lake water was bitterly cold, but Timothy didn't hesitate to dive in. The moment he plunged into the freezing depths, a crushing pressure surrounded him, filling his nose and cars and numbing his senses until he felt as if he'd gone deal. His chest seized with sharp pain, though he couldn't tell if it stemmed from the cold or something deeper within.

In that instant, countless memories flashed through his mind.

He remembered the day Melody first returned to the Shields. She wore a beautiful princess drew, her skin fair and delicate, showing signs of a well-cared for life. Her clear, almond-shaped eyes scanned the people of the Shields, slightly dazed, her gaze thickering with a gentle curiosity that was endearing

That day, he'd been scheduled to finalize an important business deal Yet he couldn't resist coming home early to welcome Melody.

Behind her was a tall young man carrying her luggage, dressed in a black T-shirt with a metallic necklace around his neck. He looked both edgy and protective, his handsome face holding a slightly aloof expression as he stayed close by Melody's side. Melody looked nervous, half-hiding behind the young man. Timothy was the first to approach, meeting her shy gaze with a warm smile. "You must be Mel, right"

"Melody, welcome home.

He saw himself then, smiling so kindly, without any of the suspicion or tension that would come later. Melody's bright eyes lit up with a sudden gleam. She nodded and softly called. Timothy?"

At that moment, no one noticed how the man in black beside her went rigid, his face paling slightly. But he stood his ground, placing himself protectively in front of Melody, watching Timothy with a cool expression.

Tall and lean in a dark gray tailored suit, Timothy looked down slightly, his smile warm and gentle. He leaned forward, a hint of playful mischief in his tone. "Melody, I'm Timothy, your eldest brother." ""You can call me Tim from now o

on"

"If there's anything you replace unfamiliar here, just let me know."

Melody looked up at him, a flicker of surprise in her eyes before she shyly nodded. "Hello"

After she'd met the other members of the Shields, the man in black seemed reasly to leave, as though his duty was done. Just as he reached the front door, Melody suddenly rushed after him Timothy, worried she might be overwhelmed, followed her outside.

He watched as Melody rugged on the young man's sleeve, her head down and her delicate shoulders slumping in sadness. She looked heartbreakingly small and forlorn

"Martin, I don't want to stay with the Shields; she murmured. Take me away, please"

The tall man froze, then leaned down, gently rulling her hair with a worried expression.

"Mel, did they bully you?" He asked, tension visible in his voice.

Melody shook her head, still clinging to the young man's sleeve, pouting in silence, her face full of unspoken reluctance.

The man in black seemed to understand instantly: Melody wasn't upset-they simply meant too much to her. With a soft sigh, he bent down, meeting her gaze seriously. "Mel, they're your real family."

"They lost you for over ten years. Imagine how painful that must have been. Would you let them keep feeling guilty for the rest of their lives?"

"Besides, your grandfather said only by returning to the Shields can you have the future You're a true heiress, meant to live a life of comfort. If you stay with us, life won't be as easy.... you deserve.

Melody's eyes were immediately filled with tears, She protested, "I didn't suffer at all at home."

You and Dad treated me so well"

Her voice caught in her throat as she glanced toward a tree not far away, where half of a gray slee oup from behind the trunk. A little smile crept into her teary eyes. "And Maxx was good to me too!" pecked

Behind the tree, Martin's younger brother, Maxx Tucker, narrowed his eyes and gave a small smirk. His fair jaw lifted slightly in a disdainful scoff. Hmph, who was good to you?"

Troublemaker, don't get ahead of yourself!

But as he turned away, a prickle of sadness hit his nose He told himself he didn't care about Melody at all -she was nothing special besides her looks.

Ever since Melody came to live with the Tuckers, their father, Tyrell Tucker, and Martin had been focused. solely on her. Maxx thought it was just as well that she be leaving; he'd wanted her gone for ages. Seeing the slight redness in Melody's eyes, Martin's mouth curled into a bittersweet smile as he softly tried to negotiate with her.

Then I'll keep working hard to make enough money so you can be a Tucker heiress too."

You'll be our only little princess, okay?"

At that moment, as he looked at Melody's sad and vulnerable expression, Martin made a silent vow: he would get YM Capital listed as soon as possible.

When that day came, he'd bring Melody back to the Tuckers in grand style, giving her the rightful life of a heiress.

Melody nodded, knowing there was no use in arguing with Martin. It was Poppy who had decided that she'd return to the Shields, and no one in the Shields or the Tuckers, for that matter-could challenge Poppy's decision She had to be good and not make things difficult for Tyrell and Martin.
