After Melina finished speaking, she held her son's hand and went upstairs, leaving only the graceful sight of her figure.

Luther watched her figure gradually disappear and did not react for a long time.

He wondered in his heart.

"Am I being disliked?"

Well, this was not the first time. After all, his ex-girlfriend Cecily had also disliked him.

But, this time.

Melina's indifference had nothing to do with appearance or anything else as if she did not care about him at all.

"Tony, what has Madam been doing these days?"

With a gloomy face, he called the assistant who was responsible for Melina's safety.

Tony, who was suddenly called out, was a little confused. There were records of Madam's whereabouts every day, and then he reported it on time.

However, since Luther wanted to ask again, he quickly repeated it again.

"That's all?"

"Yes." Tony was even more confused.

Luther ran his hand through his hair in frustration and then sent a message to Bill, who was living in the villa outside.

An hour later, Luther's vision blurred when he got the answer. He even wanted to eat Melina.

He thought to himself, "How could she..."

"How could she sell the tickets that he personally ordered?"

"And that was just to buy cat food and toys for that cat!"

Feeling that he was treated as less important than a pet, President Blackwood put down the contract angrily and went upstairs to settle accounts with Melina with a murderous look.

However, just as he went up to the second floor, he was attracted by a strong aroma.

He wasn't someone who care much about food, but this scent made his stomach rumble uncontrollably.

Following the fragrance, he came to the kitchen on the second floor.

Well, it turned out that four people and a cat were eating happily at the table.

Melina liked to cook. She, who was brainwashed by her cheap stepmother, had even specially picked up an amateur cooking class to learn several types of dishes.

Because her son was weak, she got up early this morning to stew the chicken soup. Now as casserole was opened, the room was filled with the fragrant blend of herbs and chicken.

After taking her son to Wetland Park in the afternoon, she had also picked some wild vegetables and stir-fried them with olive oil. The green leaves of the vegetables were suffused with a faint layer of oil, which looked very pleasant.

Not to mention that she also made authentic Italian cuisine, such as Lasagna alla bolognese, Osso Buco, Tiramisu... The table was full of colorful plates of food, and just looking at it made one's appetite surge.

"You..." Luther was stuck.

"Eh? Weren't you supposed to be a date?" Melina looked at him doubtfully. Perhaps it was because of the chili, her lips were even redder than usual. With just the right curves, there was a small lip bead in the middle of her beautiful lips. When she pursed her lips, she would gently press the lip bead against her lower lip. It looked...

...perfect for kissing.

For the first time, Luther felt that his mask was quite useful. He stared at her quietly, trying to use his eyes to give her pressure.

In fact, he did give her quite pressure.

Melina still had some fear toward her mysterious husband. There were too many legends about him in the capital.

But...

"Daddy, did you get stood up? Hey, isn't this normal? It's not the first time. You should have gotten used to it, right?"

Bennett's words caused the entire room to fall into a strange silence. Luther really wanted to refute, but he was speechless. In fact, he had indeed been stood up by someone countless times.

But it was different this time!

This time, it was a different leading lady!

"Pass me the utensils." He looked at his son coldly and gave him a threatening look. Then, he sat down opposite Melina.

Seeing him sit down, Melina did not say anything. In any case, she had cooked a lot, so she didn't mind him even a little bit.

However, she discovered that this person's appetite was actually not small.

However, when he brought her out to eat, he did not eat much.

"Those are not delicious." Luther said.

"Your cooking is... not bad" He commented, but thinking to himself, "I can't praise her. This woman is already arrogant. If I continue to praise her, I'm afraid she will be triumphant beyond belief."

Melina glared at him and whispered, "So be it if you are picky about food, why are you still so stubborn?"

Luther was speechless.

Looking at Master's slightly trembling hands, the old butler showed a maternal smile, thinking to himself, "Alright, Madam is really Master's true love. I finally sensed some of the vitality from young people in Master's body."

One had to know that the Master was only 28 right now, still a little ways off from hitting his thirties.

After the meal, Melina and her son went downstairs for a walk.

This was also a habit they had recently developed, especially in the manor on the outskirts where the air was fresh. When the weather was good, they could still see the stars above their heads when they looked up.

Luther originally wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Melina, but heavy work was waiting for him. He had to go to the study to deal with it first. It was him who spent half a day doing styling to act cool, so he could only work overtime now.

By the time he came out of the study, Melina and the child had already fallen asleep.

He stood at the door, staring at the two little faces on the bed.

His son rested his head on his mother's arm, his body relaxed as he lay flat. This was a sign of extreme security.

Luther estimated the width of the children's bed and looked down at himself.

After taking a shower, he tiptoed inside as well.

To suppress the guilt in his heart, he comforted himself, "This is my home, my bed, and my son. There's nothing wrong with this."

His sudden touch like a big heater made Melina instinctively shiver, but soon, she instinctively wrapped herself around him.

Although it was already May now, the night air was still heavy with moisture.

"Well, it was you who took the initiative."

Mr. Blackwood did not forget to say this in his heart. He then placed his hand on her waist, feeling disgusted as he touched her.

He thought to himself, "What is going on with this woman? She eats so much and she's still so skinny. There's no softness at all."

Gradually, he also fell asleep.

His hand began to slide upward uncontrollably, looking for the softest and most comfortable place...

...

"Ah!!!"

"Pervert!"

When she opened her eyes and saw a big hand on her chest, Melina screamed out of control.

Hearing her shout, the maids outside immediately rushed in.

These maids were also specially trained, and it was easy for them to handle any situation.

However, when they saw the "pervert" on Madam's bed, they did not dare to make a move.

Luther, whose eardrums were nearly stabbed by her scream, glared at Melina and waved at the onlookers.

"You, you, you... Why are you here?"

After they left, Melina came back to her senses and tugged at her pajamas warily.

She thought to herself, "Fortunately, nothing was exposed. It was just a touch, just like being bitten by a large mosquito."

Seeing her guarded actions, Luther was both angry and amused. He grinned and said sarcastically, "Don't be so cocky. There's not much to look at anyway."

Melina was speechless. She was very angry and really wanted to hit him, but she was unable to...

"This is my home. You are my wife." He said matter-of-factly, as if that explained his presence.

Without waiting for Melina to react, he threw up the quilt and picked up the cat and his son.

"Alright, get up. You have to go out with me today."

"Where?" she asked, her suspicion evident.

"The grave." Looking at her fuming appearance, he could not help but want to scare her.

Sure enough, Melina's face changed and she stammered in surprise.

"What..?!."

"Don't be noisy. If you make me deaf, are you going to make money to support our family?"

"I..."

Glancing at the watch that the man had placed on the bedside table, Melina swallowed the words that had slipped out of her mouth with difficulty.

She only came back to her senses when she finished washing up.

She thought to herself, "Wait. Why should I have to support him? I feed myself even now!" Of course, Luther had given her a secondary card, but Melina didn't have the habit of spending men's money.

Because they would go to the cemetery, Melina deliberately wore a plain black dress. Her waist-length hair was also tied up. Other than the jade pendant that had accompanied her for many years on her neck, there were no extra accessories.

Seeing her dressed so plainly, Luther felt that his heart had calmed down quite a bit.

...

Luther rarely spoke.

Especially outside, along the way, he almost did not say a word.

On the other hand, Melina had been talking to her son continuously. Regardless of whether there was a response or not, whenever she saw something new, she would tell her son what it was.

This made Bennett very excited and he was somewhat regretful that he did not bring out his cat, Pip.

Luther, who had been ignored by the two of them, only found some sense of being when he got out of the car because Melina grabbed his arm tightly.

After learning that Luther was here to visit to his deceased parents, the fear in her heart disappeared.

However, she never thought that the grave Luther mentioned to be so remote.

He was such a rich person, but he actually set his parents' graves in the wilderness. There was nothing but weeds and a lake around.

Just standing here made her feel like a cold breeze was blowing.

"You are scared?"

Luther narrowed his eyes mischievously and caught fear on her face.

"Don't be afraid. Anyway, you have to live here longer in the future. Just treat it as familiarizing yourself with the environment in advance."

"Ah?" Melina widened her eyes, thinking to herself, "What did he mean by this? He finally couldn't help but want tobury me here now?"

In the wilderness, with only his people surrounding him, it seemed to be suitable for doing bad things.

At first, she only felt that this place was very cold, but now, her legs were trembling.

"I..."

"What? You are my wife. If you don't bury yourself with me after you die, where are you going to bury yourself?"

"The laboratory where the explosion happened back then is right below here. That is why the land has been abandoned. Although the lake is beautiful, it is actually contaminated. There are many poisonous components in it. No one lives within several miles. However, it is suitable for eternal rest."

His voice was very soft and even carried a hint of ridicule.

However, Melina could still hdetect a few different emotions from it.

Anger, pain, and a faint, buried sense of longing.

Looking at his tall and straight figure, Melina's heart trembled slightly. On impulse, she walked forward and hold his hand.

"Don't be sad. You still have us. Eternal rest... Let's talk about it in the future."

For some reason, her words lightened the mood, bringing a faint, unexpected warmth to the scene.
