Chapter 65

Melanie made a muffled sound while struggling.

Roderick said in a low voice, “Mela!”

At that moment, both of them felt their hearts pounding and their bodies burning, as hot as an active volcano.

The most terrible thing was that the feeling of excitement spread all over their bodies.

There seemed to be a river of molten lava with flames flowing down their bodies, about to burn all their clothes to ashes.

Melanie said, “Let go of me!”

Melanie didn’t have the strength to struggle anymore so she only kept speaking.

Melanie repeated, “Let go of me!”

Her voice was soft and very tempting.

Roderick thought her voice was penetrating his heart.

Melanie’s voice melted his heart and his heart was knocking wildly and uncontrollably.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

That was how he felt!

Seven years ago, after the effect of the drug that he had taken was gone and Roderick sobered up, he felt the same way when he first saw Melanie.

At that moment, Roderick felt like his heart no longer belonged to him. It had been summoned by something.

He felt his heart beating violently inside him, urging him to pounce on Melanie to hug her tightly.

Roderick said, “Mela, don’t move. Wait a second!”

Roderick hugged Melanie tightly in his arms and said these words with great effort.

Feeling the change in Roderick’s body underneath her, Melanie knew what he

meant.

Melanie felt her face burning and she didn’t dare to move. She cursed him fiercely

in her heart.

Melanie thought, ‘Damn it! Why is he so horny?”

‘Is he actually a dog?

“The kind of dog that can be turned on anytime and anywhere.

“Mela!”

“Mela!”

“Mela!”

Roderick kept calling her name softly.

Roderick’s voice melted Melanie’s heart.

His voice was like an anesthetic being injected into her and she felt overwhelmed. by something mysterious.

She felt like she had lost all her strength like a mollusk.

Melanie whimpered, “Stop calling my name!”

Roderick still kept calling her name, “Melanie!”

After a long time, Roderick sat up and looked at the woman who collapsed in his

arms.

Her eyes were slightly open and she was flushing with embarrassment. Suddenly, he felt his heart overflowing with love.

Roderick couldn’t hold back his excitement anymore. He rolled over and pressed Melanie underneath him, wanting to kiss her fiercely.

Suddenly, Roderick noticed that there was a figure in the darkness around the staircase.

Roderick snorted in his heart.

He said, “Stupid thing!”

Melanie said, “What are you doing? Let go of me!”

Melanie’s voice was as cute as a kitten’s mewing to Roderick.

Roderick whispered in her ear, “Nothing. I’ll take you back to your bedroom.”

Melanie said, “No.”

Roderick gently bit Melanie’s earlobe and looked at the figure around the stairs. He raised his voice on purpose. “Mela, are you sure you don’t want to go back to sleep? Do you want to sleep with me on the sofa?”

Melanie said, “No.”

Hearing her kitten–like whisper, Melanie quickly stopped and bit her lower lip.

Melanie thought, ‘I really hate this man!”

Roderick said, “Well, can you stand up on your own now? Huh?”

Roderick bit Melanie’s ear and said in a low voice, “I’ll take you back to your room. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything until you agree!”

Melanie didn’t know whether she should refuse or agree. She just stayed

motionless and allowed Roderick to keep hugging her.

Roderick passed the hallway and glanced at the figure at the staircase. He raised his. voice. “Mela, Don’t be afraid. Let’s go back to sleep!”

After walking into the bedroom, he gently put Melanie on the bed and covered her with the quilt.

Sure enough, he didn’t do anything else!

Roderick said, “Don’t be afraid!” In the darkness, he sat by the bed and gently combed Melanie’s messy hair scattered on her forehead using his hands.

Melanie wondered what was wrong with her.

She had absolutely no resistance to Roderick saying don’t be afraid.

Chapter 65

In the past seven years, it was this sentence that helped her forget her nightmares. and hardships.

At that moment, Melanie didn’t know how to react. She knew that Roderick had been staring at her.

Melanie turned around, buried her head in the quilt, and pretended to be asleep.

Melanie thought she started it tonight because she fell into Roderick’s arms!

Melanie was too ashamed to recall what happened then!

She thought, ‘Forget it. Just let him sit there and stare at me if he wants it. Anyway, it doesn’t mean anything else. I can pretend to be asleep, right?‘

Melanie hid in the quilt, lost in thought. After a while, she drifted into sleep.

Melanie had only slept for about an hour tonight. She was woken by the noise and then nearly two hours had passed. She was too tired.

Melanie only vaguely remembered that Roderick smiled, took her head out of the quilt, and smoothed her hair.

Later, he kissed her forehead and the tip of her nose.

Melanie couldn’t remember what happened next.

When Melanie woke up, it was already daytime. Although she hadn’t had a lot of. sleep last night, she felt refreshed, which was rare.

It seemed that Melanie had a quality sleep after Roderick left last night.

Melanie thought, ‘Did he go to the guest room to sleep last night?

‘Forget it! Don’t care about him.

‘We’re almost strangers anyway, why bother?”

Melanie woke up and lay in bed, lost in thought.

She suddenly remembered last night she fell on Roderick’s chest.

She touched her face and felt like she could still smell the refreshing fragrance of his chest.

Chapter 65

Thinking about his hard and strong muscles made her flush and made her heart. beat faster.

Melanie said, “Come on, he’s so annoying. Why do I always think about him? I hate him!”

Melanie shook her head fiercely and then her hair became a mess.

She covered her ears and closed her big bright eyes tightly.

She thought if she couldn’t see or hear anything, she would stop thinking about. Roderick.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Melanie heard a knock at the door.

Melanie immediately felt nervous but when she heard Elias’s voice, she relaxed.

Elias said, “Mommy, are you awake? It’s time for breakfast!”

Then Melanie heard Ethan’s voice. “Mommy, Daddy says you should have breakfast first and then take a nap!”

Melanie thought, ‘Daddy? He is still here?‘

Melanie murmured, “My God! When is this going to stop? Does he really think this is his home?”

Melanie felt helpless.

Melanie said slowly, “Got it!”

After a long time, Melanie went to the hall and saw Roderick assembling a toy car with Ethan and Elias on the sofa.

Roderick smiled when he saw Melanie. He didn’t look like someone who hadn’t had enough sleep last night.
