Chapter 1167 âHaroldâs coming over?
âYes, okay. Weâll handle it. You donât have to tell George.â
After Melody hung up, she frowned slightly. She seemed a little absentminded.
âMel, what are you thinking about?â Brooklyn asked with concern. His handsome face was filled with curiosity.
âIâm wondering if this has been planned by Everett.â Melody frowned and said, âInvolve Harold and pull him to his side before he takes down George and Alden⦠âI wonder if he knew that George would ask Harold to come to my place and also knew that George would be suspicious of Grapieâs whereabouts , so he changed the robotâs program and delivered it in advance.
âEvery step has been so precise but also dangerous. Itâs like walking on a wire. If he makes one wrong move, heâll lose everything. Is this kind of person really suitable for Grapie? Have I made a mistake?â
Melody felt a little lost and even doubted herself.
âHow can that be?â Brooklyn comforted her. âYouâre supporting your sisterâs pursuit for freedom and happiness, so you havenât done anything wrong. Everett ⦠isnât wrong either.â
âIs that so?â Melody looked up at him, and her gaze seemed uncertain.
âYes, trust me.â Brooklyn stared into her eyes and seriously said, âPutting in effort for a loved one is a manâs nature.
âHe can plan strategies and manipulate everyone, but he wonât be willing to hurt the one he loves.
âAll his hard work is to move closer to her. This is not dangerous. This is his deep love and obsession.
âIf the one I love needs me to stand up against the world and all her family members one day, I would be willing to do the same too, and Iâd feel honored about it.â
When Brooklyn said that, he did not look tender and considerate like he usually did. His gaze was firm and serious, which made Melody subconsciously look away and avoid his eyes.
Even though she looked down, Brooklynâs sincere and affectionate gaze seemed to be imprinted in her mind.â Whenever she recalled it, her heart would burn and unwittingly pound fast.
For the first time, she realized that there was something different about her familiar junior.
It seemed that she could see his expression clearly only when she raised her head.
He had grown taller and more mature. He had grown from a gentle boy to an aggressive man.
Melody felt flustered for some reason.
She could not help but move back slightly. She wanted to move away from his surrounding aura and imposing manner.
Brooklyn seemed to sense her panic and evasiveness. His blue eyes were filled with helplessness and guilt toward her. He chuckled and shook his head, secretly blaming himself for rushing it.
âSo, Mel, donât worry.â Brooklyn set aside his imposing manner and became gentle again. He was sweet and harmless now. âI think your sister will live happily because this is her own choice. Everett and her are putting in effort together, and they like each other.â
Brooklynâs words broke the tension and successfully switched Melodyâs attention away.
Her eyes crinkled, and she also looked relieved. She could not help but gently breathe out and say, âThat will be good. Iâm really afraid that Grapie will be hurt.â
âShe wonât. Just rest assured.â Brooklyn found it slightly hilarious. He had met that princess of the Winters family. She looked harmless, but she was more cunning than this innocent senior.
His senior seemed indifferent and independent, but she was actually silly. She was impressively gifted in art, but she had no survival skills.
She did not know how to do laundry, cook, and clean. She would even get lost just walking around her own neighborhood.
She was clueless but extremely cute.
This contrast in his senior made his heart flutter.
Luckily, he was very skilled inâhouse cleaning, cooking, and doing the dishes.
He would always be ready for his dear senior.
1 While Brooklyn was in a daze, Melody suddenly looked at him and seriously asked, âBrooklyn, do you have someone you like?â. He was instantly stunned, and he blurted out, âHuh?â
