Chapter 29 Name a Price

Melina was a little confused.

She seemed to have obtained something extraordinary.

However, when she carefully examined the patterns on the bracelet on her wrist, she realized that it was not the legendary King Green, a rare gem that was one in a million.

It was just a simple and unadorned silver bracelet.

"Grandma gives it to you. Just keep it." Luther looked at the smiling Senior Madam with a complicated expression and said to Melina.

Melina nodded without any psychological burden.

However, Vanessa wanted to come forward to talk to her for several times but was stopped by others. She was so angry that she jumped up and down, but she did not dare to leave.

The sisters from Winslow family did not know the value of the bracelet, but Dorian knew.

Although this bracelet looked ordinary, it was a symbol of the head wife of every generation of Blackwood family.

All along, there was always comments that Blackwood family's Fourth Master would be Blackwood family's next successor, but Blackwood family did not officially announce this.

Everyone only thought that Senior Madam was unwilling to let go of her power. After all, she had been in a high position for a long time. It was certain that she would be reluctant. Now it seemed that Senior Madam was waiting for her granddaughter-in-law.

Instantly, countless socialites felt regret.

They thought to themselves, "Luther is ugly and has a terrifying temperament, but look at Melina. She is still alive and well, and she has even directly become the head wife of the family."

The head wife of Blackwood family!

Then she could do almost anything in the capital.

However, it was clear that Melina did not know how powerful her current identity was. She was chatting with Senior Madam.

She thought that Senior Madam would definitely ask about her family situation when they met for the first time, as Senior Madam was wearing a formal dress and was now in charge of Blackwood family.

However, she did not expect Senior Madam to hold her hand and touch it for a long time.

Senior Madam sighed with a playful pout, "Melina, Luce has always been dull since young. You must have a hard time."

"Ah?" Melina instinctively shook her head.

"You've been together for so long. Why is your chest... still so..."

Senior Madam seemed to have realized that she should not have said this to her granddaughter-in-law, so she quickly changed her way of speaking and called over the housekeeper who had been by her side for many years with a smile, "Nora, go get the things I locked in the second drawer for Melina."

"No, Grandma. I can't take your things anymore. If I take more..." Melina refused, thinking to herself, "Those women are going to kill me with their eyes!"

"How can that be! You can't refuse the gift of an elder! Take it. You'll find it useful." Senior Madam deliberately put on a straight face and pouted like a child.

Melina couldn't help but laugh, feeling her tension toward the Blackwood family gradually ease.

But...

"What... envelopes? Could it be the legendary treasure map? Are all big families so good at playing tricks?" she wondered.

Seeing that there was still the newly added seal, Melina understood that Senior Madam did not want her to open them now.

After chatting with Senior Madam for a while, she noticed that Senior Madam was a little sleepy, so she quickly got up and left.

Senior Madam brought her to her side so that Melina could avoid a lot of unnecessary social encounters. When Melina returned to the main hall from the backyard, the banquet had already ended. The main members from Blackwood family's had all gone to sleep, and the people from side branches had left.

For example, Dorian was not qualified to stay in the main residence.

Although his fiancee was sitting next to him, the image of Melina's face kept merging from Dorian's mind. He thought if he had found out earlier that she was so beautiful and sexy, how nice would it be? Suddenly, he regretted sending her to someone else's bed.

...

"Melina, are you a pig?"

When Luther saw that Melina had removed her makeup and ran to the kitchen, he sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and began to tease her. He thought to himself, "How long has it been since the banquet? This woman is going to have a meal again?"

At this time, Melina was in a good mood and cjose ignored him.

She used the rest of the chicken soup in the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles, cut a handful of green onions, added a few drops of sesame oil, and bit into an soft-boiled egg in one bite, feeling warmth spread through her body.

"Melina, I'm talking to you." Luther felt that his temper was getting worse and worse.

But that was not right, because it was only when facing this woman that he would be like this.

"A pig can't talk to people." She said without raising her head. She ate her noodles in big bites. The food at the banquet was indeed exquisite. However, she was dressed like that, her stomach would bulge when she ate a little. Thus, she only drank half a glass of orange juice.

"Look at you, clever enough to make jokes now. Go and make me a bowl too." Luther pulled out a chair and sat directly opposite her.

Melina instinctively wanted to say no, but when she thought of the gift she received from his grandmother today, she reluctantly went into the kitchen and made another bowl of noodles for Luther.

Luther was not hungry at first.

But somehow, after taking a bite, he remembered his mother.

He thought of that beautiful memory, but it was so distant.

He couldn't help but slow down. He ate the noodles in a small mouthful, even slower than a child. It seemed that as soon as the noodles were gone, his attachment would also disappear.

"Melina, I will come back for dinner tomorrow night. Four dishes and one soup. I don't want parsley."

Luther put down the bowl and said to the person beside him.

"Huh?"

"What!"

"Why should I cook for you?" Melina immediately reacted, thinking to herself, "It is already good enough to have some food, but he is still picky."

"Why? I really don't want to answer such a stupid question." Luther said. "Melina, do you know what the bracelet you are wearing means? This is our Blackwood family's family heirloom! It is only passed down to the next head wife. God knows what kind of dumb luck you have got. Grandma actually recognized you as such."

"Is it that serious?" Melina shyly touched the bracelet on her wrist. The expression on her face was very interesting, but it was definitely not excitement or joy.

Sure enough...

"Then is it too late for me to return this now?" she asked half-jokingly.

"..."

Luther raised his eyebrows. He suddenly had the urge to take off his mask and throw it on her face. Although this did not match his domineering CEO image, this woman was really annoying.

"Sure." He said with a sinister smile.

Then, he covered Melina's face with his big hand, causing the woman to tremble nervously as she slowly slid down. Then, he grabbed the back of her neck!

"Then you have to die."

Melina felt into silence.

...

The meeting with Luther's grandma went smoothly, which made Melina heave a sigh of relief.

The next day, when they left Blackwood family's old house, Senior Madam Blackwood still held Melina's hand for a long time. She also repeatedly urged Melina to go back and take a good look at the gift she had given.

"Grandma gave you something?" Luther asked.

"I would have forgotten if she didn't mention it." Melina said.

Then she took out the envelopes from her pocket and handed them to Luther.

Anyway, there was no way Senior Madam would give her anything harmful, so there was no problem for her to show the envelopes to him.

Unexpectedly, Luther did not want them and insisted she open them herself, causing Melina to roll her eyes.

But when she really opened them, she regretted it instantly.

It turned out to be papaya and milk, which help increase bust size. She could still tolerate it.

She thought to herself, "What are those ancient erotic pictures below?"

"Do I need them?"

"I do not need them!"

"No... It's so good... Let's try it after learning it."

Just as Melina was about to put them away, a large hand pressed down on hers. She raised her head, and Luther's face had already come much sloser in time. His hot breath made Melina shiver down her spine.

"Try... What..."

"What? You can't?" Luther teased. He suddenly leaned over and bit her lower lip.

"Mmm, it tastes good."

The man commented. He released the hand that was covering her waist, turned on the computer, and started typing.

"Wait... Did he just... flirt with me?"

Melina did not react for a long time and was stunned for more than a minute before licking her lips.

Her empty head was trying to piece it together when the car suddenly tilted and she was thrown into Luther's arms.

"Melina. Are you inviting me?" Luther teased continuously.

Melina was totally stunned.

Looking through the rearview mirror at the angry face of Madam, Bill, who was driving, proudly hummed a little song.

It seemed that he could be rewarded tonight.

Bill thought to himself, "Who said that love needs to be learned? Look at Boss. He's a natural!"

Of course...

Luther did not do anything to Melina after getting out of the car.

This was because...

She got her period.

...

The "kiss" in the car had slightly shortened the distance between Melina and Luther.

Although Melina had been in love before with many years of love history, her love at that time was actually due to the secretion of adolescent hormones.

As of now, her relationship with Dorian had never gone beyond holding hands.

It could be said that Luther had stolen her first kiss.

However, Melina intended to take this loss, and she would not settle the score with Luther. She thought to herself, "Otherwise, how sad I will be! He may have done with that Cecily. But I'm still a..."

"Melina, someone is looking for you downstairs, claiming to be your husband's aunt." The receptionist at the front desk asked Melina in confusion.

"My husband?" As soon as she stepped out of the manor, Melina instinctively forgot that she was Mrs. Blackwood.

However, she had heard from her son that Luther had an aunt.

This aunt treated Luther very well, but she was not very good to Bennett. It seemed that she felt that Bennett was too frail for her liking.

No mother would like to hear others speak ill of her own son. Melina was no exception, so before they met, they did not have a good impression of each other.

However, Melina thought that she still had to have respect for her elders.

She reported to team leader Bill to ask for leave, then went downstairs directly.

From afar, she recognized Luther's aunt.

It was not that she had seen photos, but rather, because this woman was the epitome of unimaginable wealth-it was unimaginable.

On the sofa in the hall, Daphne was sitting upright. There were no less than 10 people who were suspected to be assistants standing around her, not including the 20 bodyguards behind her.

However, Melina did not seem to have heard of any wealthy family in the capital with the surname Hollis.

"You are Melina?"

Seeing that the woman in a white shirt and a long skirt kept approaching her, Daphne said fluttering with her eyelids trembling.

"Yes, aunt. Are you looking for me?" Melina asked.

"Name your price."

"Ah?"

"I asked you to name a price. How much would it take for you to leave Luther?" She said impatiently and took out a stack of empty checks from her pocket.

Melina was stunned.

She thought to herself, "Is the hit drama of the prime time, which I have been looking forward to for a long time, finally here?"
