Chapter 492

Mabel looked at Ulric. Ulric naturally understood that she was looking at him to ask for his help.

He had never stepped into such troubles.

‘However, Mabel is about to enter Ander’s laboratory and is very useful. If I let Mabel fight against others alone and do nothing, it will be difficult to explain later.’ While hesitating, Ulric also made a judgment. He decided to help her.

After all, just as Mabel had said, no one present had seen Morin. If Melody deliberately wanted to impersonate Morin, Nickolas could be wrong when he thought Melody was Morin.

However, just as Ulric was about to step forward to help Mabel, a voice came from the hall’s entrance. “Nickolas! I’m late. You don’t mind, do you?”

The voice attracted everyone subconsciously. Melody also looked in the direction of the voice.

Yannick walked in happily with a basket of eggs.

“Mr. Frost?” Soon, someone recognized Yannick and greeted him.

Yannick smiled and greeted them one by one. Then, he walked straight toward Nickolas.

Warner coincidentally blocked Melody’s figure, so Yannick did not see Melody immediately.

He raised the eggs proudly and stuffed them into Nickolas’s hand. “The few chickens I told you about last time have laid eggs. The eggs in this basket are all newborn. I can’t bear to eat them myself. Here you go!”

If someone else sent a basket of eggs over for Nickolas’s birthday, they would be laughed at.

However, Yannick was famous because of his oil paintings in Halcyon. He had a pivotal position in the art world, and because he had the same hobbies as Nickolas, he and Nickolas were close friends.

In addition, this was his usual style. It was very normal for him to send a basket of eggs. Therefore, other than the stunned Mabel, no one else revealed any strange expression.

Nickolas was also used to it. After taking the eggs, he handed them to the servant cherishingly. Then, he turned to Yannick and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll eat them sparingly.”

Yannick revealed a satisfied expression. Then, he realized that something was wrong. “What are you all doing? Why aren’t you saying anything?”

This atmosphere is a little strange. How could the atmosphere of a birthday party be more deathly silent than a funeral?’ Yannick wondered.

Nickolas gave Yannick a look that said, “You finally felt it.”

However, Nickolas suddenly remembered that Yannick had seen Morin in person. With Yannick around, they could know if Melody was Morin.

He was about to tell Yannick what had happened and ask him to identify the person.

However, at that moment, Yannick saw Melody beside Warner.

Before Nickolas could say anything, Yannick had already widened his eyes and shouted in surprise, “Melody! What are you doing here?”

As he spoke, he ignored Nickolas and strode to Melody. He said as if no one was around, “Melody, as your student, I’ve been waiting for your call for the past few days. Why didn’t you contact me?”

Everyone was instantly dumbfounded. ‘What’s going on? Why did Yannick say this girl is his teacher?’

However, what was even more shocking was Samuel walked forward unhappily and stood in front of the two of them. Before Melody could speak, he frowned and said, Why should she contact you? She’s my teacher.”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Yannick rolled his eyes at Samuel and said, “I’ve already been her student for a few years. When did you become her student? Also, when did you start learning painting?”

“What painting? She’s my chess teacher. I got down on my knees to her in public to ask her to be my teacher. Did you kneel?” Samuel asked proudly.

“…” Yannick felt a lump in his throat. Indeed, he had never knelt before…

However, in the blink of an eye, Yannick’s eyes lit up. ‘I didn’t kneel back then, but I can still do it now! At the thought of this, Yannick was about to kneel,

Melody quickly grabbed Yannick’s hands. “Yannick, stop fooling around. How can I let you get down on your knees to me?”

Yannick said with an aggrieved expression, “But Samuel has done that. Why don’t you let me do it…” His tone and expression made him look like an old child.

The surrounding people were stunned by this scene. ‘What kind of ridiculous thing is this? Yannick and Samuel are fighting to kneel to this country girl? Is there something wrong with my eyes?’

Mabel’s eyes were so full of jealousy that they turned red.’ That is Yannick! I even sold my luxury goods to buy a class from Yannick. However, such a person felt wronged because he could not kneel to Melody.

Mabel bit her lower lip hard, and her lips turned pale. She hated it. ‘What right does Melody, the bitch, have to enjoy such treatment?’

When Mabel’s heart collapsed, Nickolas recovered from his shock.

He staggered to Yannick and asked, “Yannick, is she… Morin or not?”

Yannick hesitated because he knew that Melody did not like to publicize it. He could not help but look at Melody, trying to seek her opinion.

Melody said, “Just tell the truth. It’s fine.”

Yannick was relieved. He had kept this secret in his heart for a long time. Now, he could finally say it.

He grabbed Nickolas’s wrist impatiently and introduced him. “Nickolas, haven’t you wanted to meet Morin for a long time? She’s right in front of you now. Her name is Melody, also Morin.”

When Yannick called Melody his teacher, Nickolas had already confirmed that Melody was Morin because Yannick only had two teachers he respected so much. One was long gone, and the other was Morin, whom he had always wanted to meet.

However, when he heard this from Yannick, he still felt shocked.

However, what made Nickolas feel awkward was that after hearing what Mabel said, he doubted if Melody was Morin. After all, Melody was too young.

For a moment, guilt, excitement, and embarrassment lingered in his heart, making him speechless for a long time.

Yannick did not know what had just happened. Seeing that Nickolas did not speak for a long time, he thought Nickolas was too excited.

Yannick immediately laughed and said, “You didn’t expect it, did you? My teacher is so young. The person you admire is the same age as your grandson. I’ve wanted to tell you this secret for a long time. But my teacher doesn’t want me to tell others her identity, so I’ve been hiding it from you. But now, I don’t have to hold it in anymore.”

Yannick was extremely pleased, but Nickolas’s expression became even more complicated.

“Ahem…” He coughed and took two steps back. He bowed deeply to Melody and greeted her formally, “Ms. Palmer, I’ve heard a lot about you. Now, I officially greet you. I hope you can forget about the past and give me a chance to compensate you.”
