Chapter 42 Mommy, Daddy Is Calling You Home for Dinner

In the end.

Luther gave up on the idea of going upstairs to settle scores with Melina.

He thought to himself, "I'm indeed good-looking, but to seduce Melina? Do I need it? Do I need it? She has been registered with me legally, alright!"

He was very angry, but he forced him to keep his composure. He could not lose his proud demeanor.

However, since he had already put on his clothes, he had no intention of continuing to sleep. What about working? Thinking about how Melina was slacking off upstairs, Luther immediately lost his desire to work.

After staring at the phone screen for a while, Luther suddenly had an idea.

"She wants to order takeout, right? Fine! I'll make her regret it. Let's see if you can afford to feed me!" Thinking of this, Luther opened the take-out page, and then crazily ordered the takeouts. He directly ordered the home delivery service of a hotpot from Haidilao Hot Pot. He remembered that Melina liked to eat hotpot, and now he was also hungry. He could choose many types of hotpot.

He thought the pork brain from last time seemed to taste quite special.

Of course, he did not forget to write on the note that the delivery guy should look for Ms. Winslow from the secretary's office upstairs to pay the bill.

50 minutes later.

When the hotpot from Haidilao Hot Pot was delivered, Melina also received a bill totaling 2,000 to pay!

Facing her colleagues' curious or probing gazes, she gritted her teeth and squeezed out a smile. "There's a guest at my house. He has a huge appetite."

"Melina! Someone is looking for you downstairs!"

Just as Melina finished explaining, a young lady from the planning department came out of the elevator and shouted excitedly.

"Looking for me?"

Melina instinctively became alert.

The first thought in her mind was that her stepmother came over again. Her stepmother was such a money-loving person. She knew that Melina was now with the God of Wealth in the capital. Every day she would brainwash Melina.

She would tell Melina something like, "The virtue of giving birth is not the same as the virtue of raising a child."

"Those who are not filial will not have good luck."

She also mentioned a fixed holiday, "On Mothers' Day, you should repay your mother in this way."

She even sent Melina the guide for sending money to her. Melina even wanted to give her a sarcastic thumbs up.

"Yes, he is a very handsome guy. It seems that he said his surname is Voss."

Thinking of the handsome and gentle man in the hall, the young lady from the planning department blushed.

Matthew?

Melina was stunned. She looked down at the time on the computer. It had to be said that the man had come at such a coincidence that she still had two minutes to get off work.

"I see. Thank you." she responded with a polite smile.

"Is he your boyfriend?" The target that everyone had focused on just now shifted back immediately, eager for details.

"No. He's just one of my seniors." Melina quickly denied it.

She thought to herself, "What a joke! My husband is in this building right now."

"Really? You must be lying. It's hard to believe you. If he's not your boyfriend, why did he give you so many blue roses and even give us a few boxes of special-grade fruits." A girl said sourly.

Her voice was very loud, and many people also echoed and nodded.

However, most of them were kind and felt that Melina was just shy.

However, several of them were very jealous and thought that Melina was deliberately showing off.

"Fruits? What kinds of fruits?"

Melina looked at her colleague. Bill, the chief special assistant, shrugged, indicating that he really hadn't received any fruit yet. Bill thought to himself, "Perhaps Young Master Voss knows that his gift will definitely be thrown away by my boss if he sends it over."

Ding! Ding! Ding!

When the off-work bell rang, Melina took her bag and went to the ground floor.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, her ears were filled with screams.

The entire hall was filled with blue roses, and Matthew, dressed in a white suit, seemed to be the Prince who had transmigrated from a fairy tale world.

Matthew recognized Melina in the crowd at a glance and walked toward her affectionately.

"Melina... Do you like it?"

"If you don't like it, I will change it tomorrow." Matthew said gently, his eyes overflowing with love.

"Why did you suddenly think of giving me flowers? Also, how did you convince them to fill this place with flowers?" If she remembered correctly, this building seemed to be the private property of Mr. King, the Boss.

"This... Just use money." Matthew replied straightforwardly. After he finished speaking, he spread out his hands innocently.

"What? You don't like it? I remember you saying that you like blue roses. For the sake of the flowers, how about treating me to dinner? At least give me the right to be a suitor!" Facing everyone's questioning or doubtful gazes, Matthew directly adopted the posture of a humble admirer, lowering his status to play the part of a suitor who wasn't quite winning the chase.

Sure enough, after he said these words, the onlookers looked at Melina more curiously! They had not forgotten that Melina had raised a baby!

They thought to themselves, "Is she that charming?"

If looks could kill, then Melina would have been burned to ashes by now.

"Matthew..." Melina was forced to feel helpless.

It seemed that in this situation if she did not agree, she would be a little too disrespectful. Her colleagues had already recognized Matthew's true identity. He was the heir of the Voss family with a net worth of ten billion.

"Melina? Mr. Voss you must have a lot of free time, huh? Is it interesting to chase after someone else's wife every day? If you're so into taking what's not yours, why not try stealing the Eiffel Tower next?"

Just as Matthew was about to continue his heartfelt plea, suddenly, a cold voice came from the stereo and echoed throughout the hall.

Turned toward the source of the voice, everyone saw a row of men in black in the corridor on the second floor. The one in the lead wore a golden mask and sat on an armchair that had been moved from somewhere. He looked down at everyone like a king.

"Luther!"

"It's that pervert from Blackwood family!"

Someone shouted, and the bustling hall was instantly silent.

Seeing that his name had already reached the point to scare everyone away, Luther did not think much of it. His slender fingers tapped on the armchair.

He slowly waved at the baby on his side.

Then, Bennett walked out reluctantly and stood on the second floor as he shouted through the microphone.

"Mommy! Daddy is calling you home for dinner!"

Everyone was stunned.

Matthew was speechless.

Melina thought to herself, "That's enough!"

"Then... Look... I'm afraid I won't be with you, Matthew." Melina smiled with difficulty.

Matthew nodded to show that he understood the situation, and his eyes met the eyes of the man on the second floor.

Matthew thought to himself, "Interesting. For the sake of Melina, Luther, a person who keeps a low profile, has actually started to make a public appearance and even appeared during the day."

That was right. It was summer now. Although it was already 6 o'clock, the sky was still bright, so, this wasn't the time when Young Master Blackwood appears daily.

"Go on. I'll come back tomorrow." Matthew's tone was calm, but Melina almost stumbled at his words.

"Again?" Melina almost tripped over herself. She thought to herself, "Are these guys for real?"

"Yeah, did you forget what I told you? I'll give you time to think about my confession, but I have to show myself daily. Otherwise, how can I show my sincerity?"

Melina was speechless.

Luther thought to himself, "Do I look invisible to you people?"

However, before Luther could send people down, Matthew had already led his people and quickly left.

As for those flowers, they were also given to every girl present.

Look, this guy really knew how to charm a crowd, wasting nothing.

"Melina! Congratulations!" Tia walked out of the crowd with a solemn face and patted Melina on the shoulder.

"Ah?" Melina blinked, still reeling from everything.

"It's your honor to be able to marry Luther! Really!"

After she finished speaking, she left behind Melina, who had a confused look on her face.

She thought to herself, "Does Tia know Luther? Why did it feel like they are very familiar with each other?"

Melina still wanted to ask more questions, but no one gave her a chance because her son had already walked up to her from upstairs with a stinky face and stood on tiptoe to complain in her ears.

"Mommy, go back quickly. If you don't go back, Daddy will blow up the room!"

"Wait... what?"

Melina was dumbfounded. Under everyone's gazes, she led her son back to her apartment. As soon as she opened the door, she felt as if she had gone to the wrong set.

She thought to herself, "What... What the hell are noodles on the ceiling?"

"Why did the hand-made sofa set I have just bought have two holes?"

"Also, why are my pots cracked? Those are products from Germany, the best quality cookware in the world!"

"Luther, what did you do?" Her voice was sharp.

This apartment belonged to the company, and in this case, she would have to pay for it!

Melina glared at Luther angrily.

The latter touched his cheek and said calmly. "I'm very hungry. Since you don't care about me, I made it myself."

Melina was speechless.

"Didn't you order takeouts?" She suddenly remembered that she had just given 2,000 to the delivery from the Haidilao Hot Pot!

According to Haidilao Hot Pot's service, they would usually only leave after they had finished packing their things!

"Yes... But didn't I want to eat an egg? So I went to fry an egg with a frying pan. Who knows..."

"To fry an egg?" Melina thought to herself. "There didn't seem to be any problems."

Melina frowned in confusion, not understanding the situation.

Seeing that his daddy was still struggling, Bennett sighed faintly and added, "He threw the egg directly into the boiling oil. Then, he felt that the hotpot was not boiling, so he threw the living mudfish into the microwave."

"LUTHER BLACKWOOD!" Melina shouted.

"Yes." A certain someone replied very cooperatively. Even though Melina went berserk, he was still as calm as a mountain and did not explain.

"Stay out of the kitchen from now on!" Melina almost went crazy.

"Oh."

As he was seeing Melina furiously cleaning up the mess at home, the corners of Luther's mouth curved up into a beautiful smile.

His mood suddenly became very beautiful.

Since his love rival booked the hall for private use, sending him a lot of money, he could help Melina renovate the apartment.

But now, he could happily bring her home.

It would be best if he could continue his unfinished passion yesterday.

He thought to himself, "This woman actually dares to secretly pinch my thigh. If I do not pinch her back, then won't I lose face?"

"How childish he is!" Bennett thought to himself.

As his eyes flickered mischievously in Melina's direction, Bennett had already guessed what his father was thinking.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the city...

Cecily was discharged from the hospital.

However, she did not move into Luther's estate directly. Instead, she went to meet someone first.

This was a very handsome person, and Melina was very familiar with him.

"My time is very precious, so I hope you have a good reason for this." At this moment, Matthew was not as gentle as he was in front of Melina. His tone was extremely cold and impatient.
