Chapter 421 She Must See It As for Cyrusâs handwriting. It was hard to say anything nice about it.
Melanie was immersed in her thoughts, when an angry yell came from the bedroom.
âWho allowed you in here?!â
*Master?â Melanie walked in fearlessly. âItâs me!â
âAre you allowed in here?!â Cyrus wasnât pleased to see his secret exposed.
Melanie hurriedly explained herself before he exploded in anger.
âDidnât you tell me to ask you if thereâs anything I donât understand, and that youâll surely patiently explain things to me? The competition is just around the corner, you canât leave me alone.â
Cyrus knew he couldnât go back on his word and had no choice but to walk over, asking patiently, â What do you not understand?â
âIâm hungry, Why donât you have some breakfast with me first?â
Melanie smiled and led him out of the room while instructing the assistant to prepare two portions of breakfast. She ate with gusto, which successfully whetted Elder Gibsonâs appetite. He started tucking into his breakfast.
That was her cue to start asking questions.
âWhat is this part about?â
âHow do I use this scent?â
She kept bombarding him with questions. As she expected, he lost patience after a while. Trying his best to suppress his frustration, he demanded, âHow many more questions do you have?â
âUm... I have no idea...â Melanie made a show of flipping through her notebook. âI donât understand many parts of the book...â
âSo you have neverâending questions?â
Cyrus stood up, and put his hands behind his back. âIâm in no mood to answer any more of your questions. Go back and try to figure things out yourself!â
âAre you not in the mood because of these letters?â Melanie pulled out the letters from her pocket.
âWho gave you permission to peek at them?â Cyrus arched his brows, utterly peeved. âLeave!
415 WONOS Melanie wasnât in a rush to explain herself, and walked out leisurely, She mumbled under her breath as she walked out, âItâs said that a womanâs thoughts are impossible to fathom, and an onlooker sees more of the game. Itâs practically impossible for a player himself to fathom his female opponentâs thoughts...â
Before Melanie even reached the door, Elder Gibson shouted for her. âWait! What do you mean by that?â
âYou said you two havenât seen each other for decades, right? So why are you writing letters to her?â Melanie asked.
âWe used to write letters to each other!â
âThat was in the past. Who writes letters nowadays? Whatâs more, even if you really wrote a letter, how can the recipient tell if its contents are good or not before opening the letter? This way of confession isnât direct at all.â
Elder Gibsonâs eyes dimmed. With frustration and slight embarrassment, he said, âYouâre right. She said she didnât read them at all.â
âThatâs right.â
âHow is any of this right? How can I make her read my letters? Help me think of a way!â He started pressing Melanie for a solution.
âWhat do you want to convey through your letters?â Melanie said, trying to probe for further. details.
Cyrus glared at her.
âI need to know the specifics before I can strategize for you,â Melanie rebutted calmly.
âI want her to think of me...â Cyrusâs face fell the moment he said that.
Melanieâs heart broke at his expression. To think Master loved another woman aside from Yelena York! He was one devoted lover indeed.
Melanie pondered about it before asking, âIs there something she likes?â
Cyrus tried hard to recall before answering her, âShe likes cats, birds...â
âAnimals are difficult gifts,â Melanie cut him off, feeling helpless. âItâll be best if you can give her something that she liked in the past, preferably in the identical condition.â
Cyrus pondered for a while before saying, âHow about a wind chime?â
âSounds good! Best if you can draw something on it.â Melanie nodded in approval.
+15 BONOS Cyrus swiftly drafted a pattern on a piece of paper, and Melanie called a friend who was a craftsman. After confirming the colors and materials, Melanieâs friend agreed to make a wind chime in those exact details.
up when his The next day, she went to Cyrus with the wind chime in hand. His eyes lit up when his gaze landed upon the wind chime. âIt looks exactly the same!â
âThatâs great.â
With that, Melanie carefully stuck the paper on the wind chime, leaving a corner of the letter exposed.
If that old lady wanted to take down the wind chime, she would first have to pull the letter out. The letter would then be unfolded, and the front part of the letter would be exposed to the old lady.
âMaster, when you give her the letter, paste it like this..... If the front part of the letter isnât enough to attract her attention, the subsequent part of the letter would not be of much use anyway,â Melanie reminded. âTherefore, the opening paragraph of your letter is of utmost importance.â
Cyrus nodded obediently and made a mental note of what Melanie said, like an obedient student.
Just then, Melanieâs phone rang. She answered the call, and realized that it was Linda Yancey. Melanie spaced out for one second before instinctively turning the loudspeaker mode on.
