Chapter 468
Melody pretended to be calm just to calm David down. When people were anxious, they were often prone to making wrong judgments. David loved traditional medicine so much that he thought highly of the patient’s safety. Because of this blow, he might really do something irreparable.
Therefore, no matter how anxious he was, Melody’s tone still sounded very calm. Fortunately, her calmness seemed to have worked. David stopped crying and asked tentatively, “Is it really not that serious?”
“Of course. A heatstroke medicine cannot really kill people. There must be a problem. Just do as I say and comfort the family members. Don’t make a big deal out of it. I’ll deal with the rest when I come over.”
On the other end of the phone, David nodded hard. When he realized that Melody could not see his movements, he quickly said, “I understand. I’ll go now!”
After the call ended, Melody stepped hard on the accelerator. The red sports car nimbly changed lanes on the road.
At the same time, in a white business car.
Janet called Ulric with an ugly expression. The call was immediately rejected.
Janet frowned and realized that Ulric might not be able to answer the phone. She could only wait impatiently for Ulric to call back.
At the same time, at the entrance of a certain manor.
Ulric hung up the phone. His expression did not change at all as he maintained a warm smile. “I had a great time with you today.”
Mabel’s cheeks were pink. She lowered her head shyly and said, “Me too…”
Ulric’s smile deepened. He said guiltily, “I can’t walk, so I won’t send you back. See you next time.”
“Okay…” Mabel’s heart was filled with reluctance.
After spending the entire afternoon with Ulric, she had completely fallen for his gentleness.
Moreover, this private manor was extremely luxurious. She had experienced an unprecedented high-end life and wished that she could immerse herself in this kind of life every day in the future.
The car was already waiting for her six feet away, but Mabel did not want to leave at all.
Just as she was about to get into the car, Mabel suddenly took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to turn around and ask Ulric. “Mr. Swanson… Are we on a date today?”
She threw caution to the wind.
She thought, ‘Today, I must establish a relationship with Ulric!’
However, as soon as she said this, Mabel began to regret it. What she did was no different from lowering herself in the relationship between a man and a woman and becoming the passive party. This was how it was between a man and a woman. Whoever mentioned love first would lose.
Mabel was stunned and uneasy. With a red face, she hurriedly apologized and turned around to get into the car. However, Ulric called her name from behind. “Mabel…”
Mabel seemed to have frozen. She immediately stopped in her tracks and turned around stiffly.
Because of her outstanding appearance, she had been confessed to countless times. This was the only time she took the initiative to confess to someone.
She only realized by then that when confessing, her heart would actually beat so quickly. She looked up at Ulric nervously.
Ulric chuckled and said in an extremely firm and gentle voice, “Mabel, from the moment I saw you, I was sure that my life partner was you. If it weren’t for Melody, I would have come to propose marriage with you long ago.”
Mabel’s heart trembled, and her voice trembled with excitement. “What about now?”
Ulric smiled and said, “Melody is no longer a part of the Fox family. Naturally, we can be together legitimately. However, I can’t let a girl confess to me first.”
As he spoke, he borrowed the power of the Al mechanical legs and walked to Mabel in a few steps. He brushed away the hair on her forehead and planted a gentle kiss on it.
Mabel’s face immediately turned red.
Ulric glanced at her flushed face and said even more gently, “Give me some time. When I’m done with this, I want to propose to you seriously.”
Mabel’s heart beat even faster. “Then, we’re together now, right?”
“Of course.” Ulric smiled and pulled Mabel into his arms. He said gently, “You’re the person I took a fancy to at first glance. From today onwards, you’re my girlfriend. And soon, you’ll be my fiancée. I’ll make you the happiest woman in the world.”
Mabel only felt that she was in the clouds. That feeling of floating surrounded her entire body.
After hugging each other for a while, Mabel finally left Ulric’s embrace. She said goodbye to him shyly and happily.
In the car, the smile on Mabel’s face kept widening. She could not suppress it at all.
She couldn’t believe that the person she wanted to marry had finally become her boyfriend.
She wanted to share this good news with everyone she knew immediately.
As for Melody, Mabel really wanted to know what kind of interesting expression Melody would have if she knew that she had snatched her fiancé away.
Mabel, who was immersed in happiness, did not realize that the speed at which she was developing with Ulric was a little unusual.
At the same time, Ulric smiled as he watched Mabel leave.
After the car gradually left his line of sight, Ulric’s trusted aide, Daniel, could not help but step forward and say
hesitantly, “Mr. Swanson, there’s something… I don’t know if I should say it.”
Ulric retracted his gaze and looked at him indifferently.” Shoot.”
Daniel took a deep breath and said, “I think… at this juncture, you shouldn’t be in love. This time, the plan against Melody has failed. It will be much more difficult to plot against her in the future. They will definitely be more vigilant. You should… focus on your career first.”
Ulric sneered and asked, “Do you think I established a relationship with Mabel because of so-called love?”
Daniel looked confused.
He thought, ‘Don’t you?’
No matter how one looked at it, the atmosphere just now looked like two people in love establishing their relationship.
Ulric glanced at Daniel indifferently. “In terms of brains, the few of you combined can’t compare to Melody.”
He sounded a little regretful that Melody did not end up working for him.
However, since Melody decided to take Ken’s side, Ulric could only make her disappear from this world. Although he failed once, there would be a second and a third time.
Daniel could not tell what Ulric meant. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’m not very smart, but you know my loyalty to you. I just don’t want to see you go astray.”
“Alright, shut up.” Ulric massaged his temples in frustration. He could not be bothered to explain further to this idiot.
To him, nothing was more important than inheriting the Swanson family.
The reason why he was so patient with Mabel was firstly because she had the title of Best Celebrity. Secondly, Mabel would soon enter Ander’s laboratory. Thirdly, of course, it was because of the arranged marriage with the Fox family.
He thought, ‘Forget about Mabel. In order to achieve my
goal, I can even marry that ugly freak, Melody.’
Thinking of Melody, Ulric remembered the call he had just rejected from Janet.
