Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Chapter 169 

“The only person who could make Owen brazenly come to bother us twice is probably Ken, right? Melody thought. 

But when she looked over, she saw Ken talking to the man on his left. He did not even look cover from the corner of his eye. 

She could not help but start to doubt her guess aga 

She thought, ‘Could I have been wrong? That Owen came over purely because he was worried that he would not be able to serve Ken well? 

Melody had many questions in her mind, but she could not ask in front of so many people. Besides, the little one was pulling her sleeve. She could only suppress her doubts and turned her gaze back to the child, asking. “Shane, what’s wrong!” 

“Melody, I want to add you on WhatsApp, Shane said. 

Melody asked in surprise. “You already have your own WhatsApp account at such a young age?” 

“Of course!” Shane said as he puffed out his chest proudly. He then scratched his head and said, “But Melody, you can only send me voice messages. I can’t read many words yet 

With that said, his cheeks flushed. 

Melody could not help but laugh 

She said, “Alright, I will add you” 

The two of them added each other on WhatsApp. Coincidentally, Wilmot brought Owen back after ordering food. 

The little one immediately boasted, Duddy. I added Melody on WhatsApp!” 

Wilmot’s expression did not change. After sitting down, he calmly took out his phone and said, “Melody, let’s add each other on WhatsApp too. If anything happens in the shop in the future, I’ll just message you directly on WhatsApp instead of sending texts or calling every time,” 

“Okay,” Melody replied and scanned Wilmot’s QR code 

Wilmot was successfully added to her WhatsApp contact list. His profile picture was a group photo of three people, which were Shane, Wilmot, and a gentle–looking woman. 

She said. “That person in your profile picture… 

Without waiting for Melody to finish asking, Wilmot said calmly, “That’s my wife. I’ve told you before. She passed away a long time ago.” 

Melody nodded and said apologetically. Im sorry. I shouldn’t have asked 

“It’s fine” Wilmot said with a smile. Time can take away a lot of things. I’ve long gotten over it” 

Shane chimed in. “Melody, you don’t have to apologize. My mom just turned into a star in the sky. Of course, the might have also become an angel like you! 

Melody could not help but caress Shane’s hair, feeling sorry for him. 

“That’s right,” she said. “Your mom has become an angel and has been guarding you from a place you can’t see 

“It’s my fault,” Wilmot said indifferently as he operated his phone. “She’s gone. I shouldn’t have made those who are still alive feel uncomfortable. Ive already changed my profile picture.” 

Melody was momentarily stunned. Right after that, she hurriedly said, “I didn’t feel uncomfortable.. 

Wilmot smiled as he said, “It has nothing to do with you. Many people have asked me about it, so I simply changed it. Regarding what I said just now about moving to my house, have you come to a decision?” 

Melody could not help but widen her eyes. 

She thought, I haven’t comidered it at all, okay? 

But considering Wilmot’s good intentions, she could only reject him tactfully, saying, “It’s okay, I still have my grandmother at home. She’s not in good health. I have to take care of her. Besides, she’s very kind to me… 

Before the finished speaking, a text message suddenly popped up on her phone. 

It was a message from Ken 

Come to the restroom. 

La 

Chapter 165 

The message comprised just four simple words, delivered with Ken’s characteristic cold and indifferent tone 

Melody could not help but frown. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Ken walking in a certain direction of the restaurant 

She parsed her lips and said apologetically to 

to Wilmot, 

“I’m sorry. I’m going to the restroom.” 

“Okay,” Wilmot said, not noticing that Ken, who was sitting at the other table, had also left. He merely thought Melody needed to ease herself, so he pointed in a direction and said. “The restroom is over there.” 

Yeah, I’ll be back soon. Melody said. 

She touched Shane’s head, got up and walked toward the restroom. 

The restaurant had a long corridor leading to the restroom. Melody caught a whiff of smoke as soon as she entered that corridor. 

She hated the smell of smoke the most. When she caught a whiff of it, she couldn’t help but involuntarily hold her breath. 

She quickened her pace and finally saw Ken standing at the end of the corridor with his back facing her. 

He stood steadily, his feet spread apart, and his hack straight, just the view of his back alone could make people feel his oppressive sense of presence. 

Melody, who had been reborn once, was fearless. However, for some reason, she couldn’t shake off a sense of oppression whenever she faced Ken. as if she was interior to him 

She swallowed her saliva, her mind pondering why Ken called her to come to the restroom. 

In the end, she decided not to think about it anymore. Just as she was about to call out to him, she saw Ken suddenly turn around. He swept his gaze, which carried a chilling sense of coldness, over her with his dark eyes. 

She took a deep breath and asked. “K Ken… why did you call me here 

Ken did not answer. Instead, he asked her, “You know I’ve entered this restaurant? 

Although it was a question, she had the feeling that Ken was making a statement of certainty. 

After hesitating for a moment, Melody nodded and said, “I saw you when you came in.” 

“Why didn’t you say hello!” he asked as he moved closer to her 

Melody did not know why he asked this question. She answered truthfully. There are so many people around you. I figured it’s a meal with your business associates, so I didn’t go over to bother you.” 

Ken stopped when he was just six feet away from her. He frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied with her answer. 

“It’s true,” Melody said, furrowing her brow. “You wanted me to bother you, huh?” 

Ken did not respond to her question. He just stared at her and said expressionlessly. “Are you going to stay at Wilmot’s placer 

Melody was stunned for a moment. She asked in shock. “You’ve been paying attention to us the whole time? 

“Us?” Ken said, his expression turning grim, as if a storm was brewing 

Melody did not know why Ken’s expression suddenly changed. She simply explained, “I’m very good friends with Wilmot, There’s no issue with using the word ‘us, right?” 

“You’ve only known each other for a few days, yet you’ve already become very good friends with him, and you are going to stay at his placer” Ken said 

Melody said, “No_” 

Before she could explain that matter, Ken immediately interrupted her and said. “Melody, have you forgotten your identity?“ 

Melody could not help but feel puzzled. She asked, “What is my identity!” 

Ken’s expression turned even coller. 

“Don’t forget that you’re my wife,” he said. 

Melody suddenly remembered that she had registered her marriage with Ken. She could not help but laughs. “How can I be considered your wife?” she said. “You and I both know that the marriage certificate is just something that came by chance. It’s not binding. Bur Wilmon and t.” 

Before she finished talking. Ken interrupted her again, saying, “Since you insist on being someone else’s stepmother, I won’t stop you. I’ll be back at the Swanson villa for dinner. Come over then, Let’s make things clear with Margaret. After that, we’ll get a divorce.”
