Stop, Your Grace!

After a meal, Beatrix and Jenny chatted happily and the atmosphere was especially harmonious.

It was the young people who sat awkwardly, echoing a few words from time to time and making little eye contact.

Halfway through the boring meal, John couldn’t stand it. He got up and left the private room on the pretext of going to the toilet.

As soon as he left, Jenny came to talk with Sandy as soon as possible.

“Sandy, our son is such a personality, you don’t take offense with him. You are our prospective wife who cares for the family. You should take the initiative.”

Sandy smiled and nodded cleverly.

On one side, Beatrix covered her mouth and chuckled, “Sandy are just like this. She don’t say a word at ordinary times, but she all understand the truth.”

“I like such a daughter－in－law.”

Jenny liked her so much, taking her hand and saying a lot of things.

Outside the door, John leaned against the wall, listening to the laughter coming from the private room, and his eyebrows tightened.

It seems that this family was going to hide it all the time, but the person he wanted to marry was the real Melody, not this fake.

How could he tell his mother about this?

The more he thought about this thing, the worse he felt. John scratched his head. As soon as he turned around, he was not careful…

The clothes on his body were wet with tea. John looked at himself in surprise.

The girl who hit him apologized repeatedly and wiped his white shirt in a hurry.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

Familiar voice came, John frowned slightly, looked down at the girl, immediately began to smile, “Melody?”

Melody looked up in consternation, “It’s you again…”

Originally depressed mood disappeared at the moment of seeing her. He looked at her up and down and asked curiously, “Do you work here?”

“Er…”

Melody nodded awkwardly, seeing his clothes soaked to the skin, full of apologies, “I’m sorry, your clothes…”

“It’s okay.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

He smiled easily, his eyes full of smiles staring at her.

Just then, the private room door opened…

“John, auntie let me come out… have a look.”

Sandy walked out of the private room and the scene in front of her stunned her. “Is this?”

Seeing Sandy, Melody suddenly understood something and threw off his hand. She lowered her head and whispered, “I’m sorry, I still have something to do. I’ll leave first.”

“Melody, don’t go.”

John stopped her.

Sandy looked at them in consternation. “You call her… what?”

The three of them stood there awkwardly, as if time had stopped.

Just then, Beatrix’s voice came from the private room.

“What’s the matter outside the door? They should not whisper…”

Hearing her voice, Melody was obviously shocked and knocked his hand off. “I really have to go.”

She cannot let Beatrix see her. She cannot bring trouble to John.

After saying that, she left in hurry.

John simply could not eat this meal by this thing. When he saw Sandy, he was in a bad mood.

Returning to the private room, when Jenny looked at the flustered boy, she was surprised and asked, “What’s going on? How did you become like this?”

John and Sandy looked at each other. They had a tacit understanding and chose to hide the truth.

“The waiter accidentally spilled it just now.”

John said casually. He picked up his coat and put it on. “Mom, I still have something to do. I’ll go first.”

“So…”

Jenny thought for a moment and pushed Sandy. “Let Melody take you out and talk to them.”

Sandy was awkwardly pushed to his side. She raised her eyes, then lowered her head again.

He did not refuse and said to her with a smile, “Then let’s go.”

The two people walked out of the private room together, and behind them came the laughter of their mothers.

Walking side by side with John, Sandy kept her head down and felt uneasy. She wanted to say something to him, but she didn’t know what to say.

In the end, John broke the silence first.

“I know you are not Melody.”

It’s not a question, it’s a positive sentence.

Smell speech, Sandy shook and bit her lips. She was speechless for a moment.
