A firefly fluttered past his shoulder, and the man glanced slightly to the side, waving at her. "Why are you just standing there?

"Come over."

Edward's voice was deep and smooth, with a slightly somber tone, as rich and pleasant as a cello.

Melody's heart skipped a beat, suddenly feeling empty for a moment.

At that instant, she found herself wishing more than anything to see him standing.

"Edward, do you miss me that much?"

Her almond eyes sparkled with a clear light, sweeping away all the day's unpleasantness from the Shield Residence.

She lifted her skirt and hurried across the street in her high heels, her beaming smile so infectious that it seemed to lift everyone's spirits. Edward tightened his grip on the wheelchair's armrests, feeling his palms grow slightly damp.

He turned his gaze away and coldly said, "Little girl, can you behave properly?

"Slow down."

Standing behind Edward, Brandon wiped the sweat from his forehead. D*mn, what's up with Mr. Moore? He looks like he's babysitting!

He's worried, but still acting all aloof and proper.

There was a gathering tonight, yet he cut it short to pick up his wife. He must be quite smitten.

Yet he's still playing it cool on the outside.

With that attitude, if he wins over the little girl, I'll eat... um, brown ice cream!

Melody hurried over, her usual poise and composure melting away as she approached. She Sinstinctively settled into the arms of the person in the wheelchair. The young woman, acting all delicate, wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

She snuggled closer, playfully draping her arms around Edward's neck as she coquettishly

said, "Eddie, my hand hurts so much."

She frowned, having long grown used to exhaustion from trying to please the Shields.

But now, she had someone to rely on.

Only in Edward's embrace did she allow herself to show her most vulnerable side.

Edward, taken aback by her sudden embrace, instinctively tried to push her away. However, Melody clung to him so tightly that he found himself unable to free himself.

Bernard and Brandon thought at the same time, What a performance! Keep on pretending!

Edward, known for his unflinching demeanor, able to grab someone by the neck and toss them into an alligator pit without a second thought, struggling to push away a girl who barely weighs a-hundred pounds? This was obviously... a classic case of playing hard to get!

Meanwhile, from the shadows behind nearby bushes, Lucas stared in disbelief, his jaw almost dropping.

"Is this really the same aloof, cold Edward we know?"

"I'm afraid it might have been possessed by some lovesick fool."

During the gathering earlier, they had noticed something off about Edward. He checked his watch 36 times in just two hours.

Zac had deliberately invited two women, hoping to pour him a drink, but Edward disdainfully refused even to touch the glass.

Although Edward had never been one to drink, his behavior tonight was particularly unusual.

Zac, crouched by the flowerbed with a cigarette hanging from his lips, was about to light it. However, wary of drawing attention, he decided to pocket his lighter.

He squinted at Melody, his astonishment growing with each passing moment. "D*mn! Isn't this the little sister that Martin used to treat like a delicate flower?

"Edward used to have a lot of respect for Martin and even drank with him a few times

"And now, after just a few years, he's snatched his little sister?

"Edward, you're worse than a beast!"

Zac Griffin, who worked in finance and had frequent dealings with Martin and Timothy.

And Timothy had often reached out to him in a friendly manner.

But Zac had a solid family background and a rebellious personality, and he valued character and personal connections over mere business opportunities. Back then, he had a good relationship with Martin.

He even had a photo of Martin and Melody from that time. The girl, only about 15 or 16 years old, was dressed in a blue and white school uniform.

Standing next to the tall and slender Martin, she looked even more delicate and adorable, pure, and graceful.

Her clear, almond-shaped eyes were exceptionally charming and likable.

But no matter how you looked at it, she was just a little girl that was out of reach for "old men" like them.

Evan Fuller, a medical doctor, adjusted his night vision goggles and focused intently.

Under the streetlight, he saw ...

Edward lowered his gaze, his large hand gently holding Melody's soft, delicate one. His fingers idly caressed her as if lost in the sensation.

The two were so close that their bodies seemed almost to merge into one.

The faint, sweet scent of the young woman seemed to seep into his senses, making his breath grow warm and uneven.

Melody's hand rested on Edward's neck, slowly moving toward his jawline.

Suddenly, she unfastened his collar and her fingertips brushed against his seductive collarbone.

Her cheeks flushed, and she couldn't help but straighten her back, and kissed his pinkish neck with her red lips.

"Ugh

Melody!"

"Shh, Eddie, it's not like this is the first time I've attacked you. Why are you so nervous?"

Edward's temples throbbed violently. You little pervert!

Meanwhile, Bernard and Brandon watched in disbelief. Man, have some mercy on us lonely souls!
