Seeing Boss give her something again, Melina was very resistant.

Especially when she saw the ticket price--the VVIP tickets worth 3,000 each. She felt that she was unable to bear it.

Plus, the Boss's reason was also very unconvincing. Melina thought to herself, "How could a couple buy three tickets for a date?"

Just as she thought of a polite excuse to refuse, Luther spoke again.

"Take them. There is no reason for me to take back what I gave you. If you don't want them, just throw them away."

Melina was speechless. This was the first time she had met such a demanding superior.

However, when she thought of her high salary, she decided to endure it. Plastering a fake smile on her face, she carefully took the three tickets with both hands, making the gesture almost ceremonious, which left the person sitting on the boss chair angry and amused.

...

"Tia, are you free next week? Do you want to go see this performance together with me?" After work, Melina ran back to her original department and stopped her old superior Tia.

Tia glanced at the ticket in her hand doubtfully and curled her lips in disdain. "Melina, you know, I'm not into these things. Plus, this performance is for children to see, right? Why did you buy three tickets? This is too..."

Noticing the people walking past, Tia tried to restrain herself.

"These were given to me by the Boss. He said that it was for yesterday's overtime pay." Melina explained. "Oh, by the way, Tia, have you seen the Boss' girlfriend? Is she very beautiful?"

Although she didn't have many feelings for Mr. King, she also liked to share a bit of harmless gossip.

Melina thought that Tia might indulge her curiosity or tell her some explosive news, but she did not expect that Tia was looking at her with a very strange look.

"What? Don't look at me like that, sister. I swear I don't have any thoughts about him that I shouldn't have!" Melina quickly raised two fingers.

Tia looked at her suspiciously for a moment. After a long pause, she sighed, "Melina, it's good that you think this way. Although you have always been the standard kind of naive and sweet girl like the one in soap dramas in my heart, the real world is cruel. Cinderella who marries into a rich family will generally not be happy."

"I don't know who Mr. King's girlfriend is, but for a man with a background like him, his fiancée is at least a rich and powerful lady from a powerful family. Since he insists on giving you these tickets, just keep them and deal with them well."

Tia made Melina fall into silence.

She naturally knew that she couldn't end up with the god-like CEO.

However, the reality was always very bloody. Now, she was Luther's legal wife. In fact, she was also a step into a wealthy family.

Living under that shadow wasn't easy-it was something she felt every day.

Because of her son, she could ignore a lot of things, but some truths were hard to ignore in front of her, such as the movie queen she saw yesterday.

"Thank you, Tia." Melina thanked Tia from the bottom of her heart, and then she became more and more determined to quickly cure her son and leave Blackwood family.

What Melina did not expect was that the moment she stepped out of the company, she met the old butler, who was wearing casual clothes.

"Why are you here?" Melina asked curiously.

Then, a small figure jumped out of the car not far away.

"Master is going on a business trip for a few days, so he asked me to send Young Master to you."

"I see." Melina did not have any objections. She did not want to go back to face the strange Luther every day anyway.

"Then I'll leave Young Master to you. Everything you might need is in this suitcase. If you need anything call, just call me." The old butler did not understand what his Master was planning, since Master refused to let his wife return to their family and insisted on sending Young Master out, but the old butler still followed Master's instructions.

Melina held her son's hand and walked slowly along the street with the suitcase.

She had just received a notice that her apartment had been changed place and was located now in the building of the company now. It was now the peak period and she brought the baby along with her, which was eye-catching.

Of course, she was not afraid that those people would say something unpleasant.

However, she did not want Bennett to be the subject of idle chatter because of her.

Because Luther did not announce her identity to the public, she preferred to keep a low profile.

"Mommy, can I raise this?"

Suddenly, Bennett stopped in his tracks and looked at the display window a few meters away with a longing expression.

Melina looked in the direction of his finger and saw a group of people gathering in front of the display window and looking at the cats.

"Of course, but I have to ask your doctor."

Melina also liked furry things very much. She also wanted to raise one a long time ago, but because she was busy with work, she had no time at all. Plus, her parents did not like pets, so she had to give up.

Soon, she received a reply from the doctor.

Bennett had no known allergies to fur and pets, and small animals could enhance the relationship between her and him.

After reading the message, Melina immediately brought her son into the pet shop.

She had never raised animals and did not know how to distinguish between species, so she let Bennett pick.

"This one... Fifteen thousand after sterilization." The cordial young shop assistant quoted a number.

"So expensive!" Melina couldn't help but frown. She had always been frugal and was momentarily stunned.

"Yeah, he's a pure breed. His Mom and Dad are both champions! But our shop also offer free adoption." The young shop assistant pointed to the other row of cages, which contained some cute calico and orange cats.

If Melina chose it herself, she would probably choose to adopt one.

However, choosing a pet was a matter of fate. It could be seen that Bennett liked the little British Shorthair very much.

But...

She only had a little over 10,000 on her current bank card.

And payday was still two weeks away.

"Mommy, why don't we forget it? We don't have to buy it." Seeing her hesitation, Bennett gently shook her arm.

Although he liked the cat very much, his mother was more important.

Her son was so thoughtful that it made her feel sorry for him, but it also made Melina blame herself.

It was not that she could not afford to raise it, but she had once trusted the wrong person.

She gritted her teeth and directly paid 10,000 as a deposit. In any case, the cat was to be sterilized and could only be accepted after a week. She thought to herself, "In a week, the three tickets will be sold for at least half their value, right?"

...

A week later, Melina and Bennett brought the cat back to Blackwood family's house.

Although the apartment provided by the company was good, it was not her own house after all. Kittens always liked to be naughty when they were young, and it would be risky if her cat scratched the furniture.

The arrival of a lively little creature in the house gave the entire manor a new vitality.

Because the cat had been vaccinated, Bennett directly placed the cat's nest in his room. Every night, he hugged the cat and they slept together. It made Melina feel like her place in his heart was being taken over.

However, she was still happy, because her son smiled even more often.

However, there was someone who was in a terrible mood.

When Luther, who was on a business trip abroad, heard that Melina bought a cat for his son, he was so angry that he almost flew back from the United States overnight to throw the woman and the cat out.

He had always hated anything with fur, no matter what animal it was.

However, his son's doctor called him and told him that Bennett's condition had recently shown significant improvement. This was a good thing.

Helplessly, he could only focus all his attention on his work.

After a long journey, he finally returned on the day of the show.

Luther thought that when he got home in the afternoon, Melina would take the initiative to invite him to watch the performance together at night, and then he would pretend to reject her twice before he would agree, which could also be regarded as a sign of truce for the "cold war" between them these days.

But what he did not expect was -

When he carefully changed into a suit, styled his hair, and arrived home in a travel-worn manner, only one cat was meowing at him at home.

His son and Melina were both gone.

"Master, you are back." The old butler came out to greet him and picked up the cat that was trembling in the corner.

"This is Melina's cat? It looks as stupid as her."

Luther said in a sour tone. He reached out and picked up the cat by the scruff of its neck.

It was as if he had poured all his resentment toward Melina onto a cat.

"Yes, Madam bought it in a standard cat house. The cat also has a pedigree certificate. Its full name is Pip Blackwood, and its nickname is Pip. Madam said that this is Bennett's younger brother." the old butler explained.

"Pip, come, say hello to Dad." As the old butler spoke, he raised its paw and waved it at Luther.

Not knowing if it were for his illusion, the old butler found that the Master's mask seemed to be trembling.

"Melina!" Luther thought to himself, "You outdid yourself!"

Luther took a few deep breaths to restrain himself from throwing the cat out.

Putting the cat on the ground, he glanced at his assistant who was curious.

As a trusted follower of his boss, Bill immediately asked the old butler on Luther's behalf, "Then where are Madam and Young Master now?"

"They're in the garden." The old butler gave them apeculia look.

Although their garden was quite big, they had to pass through the garden for such a long distance from the front door to here, and the old butler thought that in this case, they could always see Madam and Young Master.

As if to respond to the old butler's words, a burst of pleasant laughter suddenly sounded from outside the door.

As soon as the door opened, the laughter stopped abruptly.

The anger in Luther's heart rose to another level.

"Melina." He said through gritted teeth.

When Melina saw him, she was stunned. She looked up and down at the man and noticed that he was dressed rather elegantly, as if for a special occasion. She replied calmly, "Mr. Blackwood, you're back."

She knew that she would not become his real wife.

Thus, she did not intend to curry favor with him.

"You... Why are you dressed like this?" Looking at the clock on the wall, Luther noticed it was less than an hour before the performance began. He could not be angry and could only force himself to ask.

Hearing this, Melina was even more confused.

She thought to herself, "How am I dressed? This is how I always dress It is either a formal outfit for work or a sports outfit that is convenient for bringing the baby."

"What? Is Mr. Blackwood going to care about what I wear now? Are you going to take me on a date?" Melina couldn't help but boldly imagine.

After all, at this moment, Luther was dressed too delicately.

"A date? With you?" he scoffed.

"It's good that you're not. I don't want to date you either. That's it. Go ahead with what you are doing." Melina said angrily. She did not know why, but she felt a little bad and a little agitated.
