Chapter 287 Want a Massage Too?

Just as Melody peeked in, she spotted Alfred seated opposite E +5 Free Coins

In a relaxed black shirt and a chain around his neck, the young man sat in an easy posture across from Edward, tall and lean, his broad shoulders and long legs giving him a striking presence. His expression, cold as if sculpted by harsh winds, held none of the easygoing air he'd had at Regal Glade.

His deep brown eyes carried a touch of arrogance. "Edward, while I'm not behind the plane crash, aren't you and Dad aware of anything? Why haven't either of you done something by now? "Or... are you still clinging to the idea that the woman is your-

Before he could finish, Edward's stern look silenced him, and Alfred's voice trailed off, unable to mention the likely culprit.

"It's not her!" Edward said firmly.

It couldn't be her.

Ele played with the emerald ring on his thumb. His eyes were hidden by the shadow of his long lashes, his thoughts unreadable. Melody frowned slightly,

Logically, it was the Moores' business. She shouldn't intrude, let alone eavesdrop.

She began to back away, but Alfred noticed her.

With a casual smirk, he called her out, "Oh, Melody! I didn't know you had a habit of listening in. Come in and sit down."

Feeling awkward, Melody entered, her toes practically curling

Edward's mood lightened as he spotted her, the tension around him easing-

"Mel, come sit here with me," he said, gesturing beside him

Melody had to step forward obediently and sit next to him.

relax.

While Edward stayed clear of her work, seeing how much effort she put into it made him care for her wellbeing.

Now, he gently massaged her waist, using techniques he'd picked up between their busy schedules, all inspired by a massage therapy guide Melody had given Bernard. The person he served would only be Melody.

She glanced at Alfred, who was watching their tender moment with quiet curiosity. With a slight glint in her eyes, she said, "Alfred, you look tired, too. Want to join us?" Startled, Alfred gave a nervous smile. "Ahem! N-no need. Thanks."

He wouldn't dare!

Melody always had a way of pulling him into trouble.

"Oh? Then why are you still sitting there? Lining up, are you?" she teased. "Hoping for Edward's special massage, too?"

Her smile widened as Alfred felt another chill, realizing she might have guessed that he was here to keep a close eye on them.
