âHâHalâ¦â
Melody was almost scared to death.
âI had no idea Harold was standing behind me. How long has he been there? How much did he hear from my conversation with Ninian earlier?â
She looked pale. Although she did not plan to help Ninian hide her secret from their brothers, she did not want their family to know about her relationship with Everett under such circumstances.
She could already predict what will happen. Chaos would happen and Ninian would be even more upset.
âHal, youâ¦â
â}
âWhoâs Everett?â He no longer looked goofy. His charming face looked cold, âSince when did Grapie and him get together? How did that bastard deceive her? â
Melody was dumbfounded. She did not know how to answer him.
âMel, you mentioned heâs from the Craig family, right? Is he the one whom theyâve kept hidden?â He approached Melody, making her feel intimidated by his tall figure. He continued, âI remembered him saving her three years ago. Does that mean he has been stalking her for a long time?â
âIâm⦠not too sure about that.â Melody bit her lower life and replied to him cautiously, âGrapie said that he saved her, but they didnât get acquainted. It doesnât look like he planned it for a long time. They only got together after she took the initiative to confess her feelings for himâ¦â
âSeriously? That bastard didnât find my sister attractive? How dare he let her be the first to confess her feelings?!â Harold was so enraged as he rolled up his sleeves. âHow dare that insolent bastard let her do that! I need to beat him up and teach him a lesson!â
Melody was speechless.
She tugged on his arm and said, âHal, calm down. This is not the priority right now!â
âItâs not? Then, what is it?â He scratched his head and came back to his senses. âAh, yes. Tell me what exactly happened. Since when did Grapie get taken away from us? How come we donât know anything about it?â
Melody regretted and fell silent when she heard what Harold said. She made him focus on the problem once again.
She took a deep breath to calm down before saying, âHal, itâs pointless to talk about what has happened. You need to know that Grapie loves Everett from the Craig family. However, heâs a dangerous man, and Iâm worried about herâ¦â
âYouâve investigated him, havenât you?â He pondered for a moment before saying, âTell me everything that you know about him. I will look into it on my side. I want to see who this bastard really is!â
She nodded. âOkay, Iâll send the information to you. But you need to promise me one thing!â
âWhat is it?â
âDonât tell George and Alden about this.â She said, âOnce they know about this, theyâll definitely go to war. Grapie is at the height of her passion now. Iâm worried that sheâll get into a huge fight with them.â
Harold fell silent when he heard this.
âGrapie and Everettâs relationship is not a trivial matter for the Winters family. I know full well how chaotic things will be if they were to find out.
âMel is right. If I tell George and Al directly, they will make things worse. Grapie will get hurt even more.
âBut what if things get out of control? âWill this hurt Grapie even more?â
