Chapter 332
As soon as he said that, an imperceptible smugness flashed across Janet’s eyes.
She had said so much just to get Sid to come up with this idea.
She had already thought of this plan when she was in the doctor’s office just now.
She thought, ‘Putting aside whether Sid can successfully charm that slut Melody, I only need to hint something before Ken after Sid takes action. Ken will definitely think that Melody is a promiscuous woman.
‘In this way, there will definitely be a rift between them.
‘Either way, it will be very disadvantageous to Melody.
‘However, I didn’t expect that after so many years, Sid still hasn’t improved at all. He has successfully fallen into my trap with just a few words.
Janet hid her true thoughts and pretended to be worried. “If Ken finds out about this, he won’t be angry with us, right?”
“No!” Sid said confidently. “Even if Ken really gets angry, I did it and it has nothing to do with you. Besides, as long as you don’t tell him, Ken will think I have no idea that Melody is already married to him. If I pursue her without knowing this, can Ken blame me? Am I less important than a woman?”
Janet just wanted Sid to say these words.
She nodded and asked, “What if you win her over? What do you plan to do?”
“Of course, I want her to divorce Ken. Then, I’ll dump her in a few days and let her get nothing!”
Janet pretended to be conflicted. After a while, she said, “Alright, for Ken and the future of the company, let’s do as you say though it’s a little cruel to Melody.”
The two of them hit it off immediately, and Sid left the hospital happily.
Janet looked at Sid’s innocent back. She smirked and followed.
At the same time, Ken sped all the way back to Serenity Villa.
However, when he entered, he did not see Melody. The large plate of pasta on the table was also gone.
Ken’s eyes darkened slightly. He felt that something was wrong.
Coincidentally, Susan came out after comforting Hattie. Ken immediately asked, “Where’s Melody?”
Susan did not know how to answer. After a long time, she said, “Miss Fox has left.”
“Left?” Ken frowned. “When did this happen?”
Susan thought for a moment and replied, “About seven to eight minutes after you went to the hospital. Miss Fox left after eating the pasta.”
Ken’s expression became even more unpleasant, mixed with a hint of confusion.
Could it be that… Melody was angry?
However, when he said that he would be back from the hospital in half an hour, she did not have any reaction…
For a moment, Ken could not tell if Melody was angry.
Just as he was thinking about this, Susan finally could not help but say, “Mr. Swanson, since you’re back so quickly, you shouldn’t have any allergies. But in this way, your behavior today is really a little hurtful.”
Ken frowned and looked at Susan.
Susan noticed Ken’s expression and thought that her words had made Ken unhappy. She quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Swanson. I shouldn’t have said that…”
“I’m fine.” Ken said seriously, “There’s no need to apologize. Continue. Why would my going to the hospital be hurtful?”
Susan hesitated for a moment. When she saw that Ken was not angry, she mustered her courage and said, “You might not know it because you were in the living room, but Miss Fox specially put a lot of herbs in to prevent you from having an allergic reaction to prawn. Just pounding the herbs until they were juicy made her sweat profusely, not to mention that she tried her best to cover the taste of the herbs with the seasoning so that the pasta would still be delicious.”
Ken could not help but clench his fists.
He knew that Melody had put medicinal herbs in the pasta, but he really did not know her hard work behind it.
Susan paused for a moment and continued, “She put in a lot of effort, and from what Hattie said, she also explained. But you didn’t believe her and went to the hospital. How could this not make her sad?”
Ken pursed his lips. He had an answer to his question just now.
Melody had indeed left because she was angry.
He was silent for two seconds. He could not help but ask Susan for help. “Then what should I do now? Find her and apologize to her?”
Susan said, “If you don’t want Miss Fox to be sad, of course, you have to apologize, but compared to apologizing to Miss Fox… you’d better explain it to Hattie first.”
“Hattie?” He looked confused.
Why was Hattie involved?
Susan said patiently, “Hattie seems to have a deep misunderstanding of you. She has always felt that you often bully Miss Fox. After the pasta incident, she feels that you treat Miss Fox even worse.”
“Do I always bully Miss Fox?” Ken could not help but laugh.
Who was bullying who?
Other than in front of Melody, he had never spoken so humbly to anyone in his life.
Susan hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Speaking off-topic, if you really want to end up with Miss Fox, you must explain it clearly to Hattie. Although she is just a maid like me, she is Mrs. Swanson’s most intimate servant. Sometimes, what we servants say can easily influence the thoughts of the employers.”
Ken subconsciously said, “Susan, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not in a relationship with Melody. We’re just friends.”
“Is that so?” Susan stared at him.
For some reason, Ken could not answer Susan.
The next second, Susan smiled. “Mr. Swanson, I followed you here from overseas and took care of you for six to seven years. Sometimes, I know better than you what you’re thinking. I think before you decide whether you want to explain to Hattie or apologize to Miss Fox, you’d better figure out what you’re thinking.”
Ken lowered his eyes. ‘Should I figure out what I’m thinking?
‘I’m indeed… not sure how I feel about Melody.
‘Is it empathy, heartache, pure admiration, friendship, or… love?’
Ken felt that his mind was in a mess.
Maybe he really needed to figure out how he felt about Melody.
A moment later, his gaze fell on the dining table.
Instead of continuing the conversation, he asked, “Did she finish a large plate of pasta alone?”
“No,” replied Susan.
Ken asked further, “What about the rest of the pasta?”
Susan’s expression froze. She coughed and said, “Hattie threw all the pasta into the trash can.”
Ken looked up and saw pasta in the trash can.
Ken retracted his gaze and said, “Check Hattie for me first. I’m not familiar with her. Your explanation might be more effective than mine.”
“Oh, alright!” Susan nodded repeatedly and walked toward the servants’ room at the back of the villa.
Ken watched Susan leave. After standing in a daze for a while, he took a large plate and squatted beside the trash can.
Due to his mysophobia, Susan would keep the trash cans lean. If there was any trash, it would be cleaned up and a new plastic bag would be put on.
It was the same this time.
Other than pasta, there was no other trash in the trash can.
But even so, this trash can was filled with bacteria and filth to him.
But…
