Chapter 556

“Miss Fox?” The female voice behind her was filled with uncertainty.

Melody subconsciously turned around and met Ruby’s gaze.

Ever since Ruby successfully got pregnant with her help, the two of them had not seen each other. Now that they met again, Ruby was a little fatter than before. However, her stomach was still flat and she did not show it.

Today, Mason did not accompany Ruby, but there were two tall bodyguards behind her.

“Ms. Wilson.” Melody stood up and greeted. Seventeen, who was sitting on the ground behind her, immediately stood up as well.

Ruby’s expression was filled with surprise when looking at Melody’s face. “Miss Fox, you’ve become…”

Melody touched her face with makeup and smiled, “Ugly girls also love beauty.”

“No, no…” Ruby stuttered. She finally calmed down and praised sincerely, “You’re really beautiful! I thought I recognized the wrong person just now, but looking at the way you treated him, I believed it was indeed you.”

Melody smiled. ‘Do I look beautiful now?’ When she got the last herb of the Taylor family and cured her face, Ruby would probably be even more shocked.

“You’re really beautiful! You should put on more makeup in the future. I didn’t expect…” Ruby was still babbling praises when she suddenly covered her mouth and explained, “I didn’t mean that you didn’t look good in the past…” Ruby felt awkward and stopped abruptly because she realized she was worsening the explanation.

Melody’s smile deepened. “You don’t have to explain. I know you don’t mean any harm.”

Ruby heaved a sigh of relief and emphasized, “You should have put on more makeup.”

“I’ll try my best. But you know, I’m a doctor and usually very busy, so I don’t have the time. By the way, let me take your pulse.” As Melody spoke, she grabbed Ruby’s hand.

This was her occupational habit. Moreover, only when the baby in Ruby’s stomach was safe would her husband pay more attention to that one last herb.

“Alright.” Ruby cooperated and pulled up her sleeves.

A minute later, Melody released her grip and said, “There is no problem. You can rest assured.”

“That’s great.” Ruby revealed a relieved expression and said, “Actually, I just went to Central Hospital for a checkup this morning. The doctor also said that everything was fine, but I still felt worried somehow. I thought that I was too concerned about the baby. I was just waiting for you to say so. Only when having your answer will I feel relieved.”

“Thank you for your trust.” Melody looked at the two bodyguards brought by Ruby and asked, “Why are you in such a place? Don’t you have taboos at home?”

According to the custom of Silverlake, pregnant people should avoid coming to the cemetery.

Ruby shrugged and said, “I’m not afraid of these things. I came here today to tell my mother that her daughter is about to become a mother.”

“Your mother?” Melody tilted her head.

“She died three years ago, in a car accident.” Ruby lowered her head.

“I’m sorry to hear that.” Melody patted her shoulder.

“I’m fine.” Ruby shook her head. “It’s been three years. I’m not that sad anymore. It’s just that I still want to tell her about this joyful occasion. At the same time, I hope she could protect the child in my stomach.”

Melody nodded. “Why isn’t Mason with you?”

“Let me tell you…” Ruby said as he looked at Seventeen behind Melody.

“It’s okay. Just say it. He’s my bodyguard.” Melody nodded. Ruby then continued, “Both of us are concerned about you.

As soon as he was done with his work, he set off back to Insterimond for the Green Velvet. Before he left, Mason told me that his father was already preparing for the next auction of Green Velvet. This trip is to help you get the details of the auction in advance.”

“Thank you,” Melody said sincerely.

“We should be the ones thanking you.” Ruby checked the time and said, “It’s almost time for dinner. Shall I treat you to a meal?”

Melody was stunned for a moment before realizing that she had been kneeling for more than three hours. “Alright.” She hesitated for a moment but did not refuse. She wanted to know more about the Taylor family and Jennie.

“Then let’s go.” Ruby held her arm as Melody took one last look back at the tombstones of the Blevins family. ‘Averi, Mr. and Mrs. Blevins, I will take revenge on the murderer. This is what I owe you!

About half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a Floassian restaurant.

“This is the restaurant Mason opened up for me. I’ve wanted to bring you here for a long time. I like all the dishes here. I hope the food here will suit your taste.”

Ruby smiled brightly. After bringing Melody in and sitting down, she did not sit down with her. Instead, she said, “I’ go to the kitchen and let the chef make a creative dish for you.”

Melody waved her hand. “Thank you so much, but there’s no need to treat me so well.”

Ruby insisted on letting Melody taste the best Floassian cuisine. She got up and went to the kitchen right away.

Melody had no choice but to sit and wait. At this moment, her phone screen suddenly lit up. It was a message from Ken. [You went to see Averi?]

Melody’s eyelids twitched. She looked up at Seventeen, who was standing not far away to protect her. He felt strange that Melody was looking at him and lowered his head guiltily.

Melody retracted her gaze helplessly. When James was not around, she thought she could gain some freedom.

However, she forgot that Seventeen was also Ken’s man. It was convenient to have someone working for her, but she had also lost her privacy.

Melody started to speculate the reason for Ken’s message. Was it because she didn’t report it to him in advance? But was there a need to report such things to him? If that was the case, Ken was too dominant.

Just as she was thinking about it, Ken sent another message. [Remember to tell me the next time you go there. I owe her an apology too.]

Melody’s pupils trembled. So he wasn’t trying to control her. Instead, he also wanted to apologize to Averi. When she thought of her dissatisfaction and blame for Ken just now, guilt overwhelmed her bit by bit.

With Moon’s words lingering in her head, Melody’s grip on the phone tightened. Seconds later, she replied: [Okay, I’ll let you know the next time.]

After sending the message, Melody hesitated for a moment and sent an emoji of sorry. She never had the habit of sending emojis, but today she subconsciously did

SO…..

On the other end of the phone, Ken’s expression froze slightly when he saw that cute pattern. A rare look of surprise appeared on his handsome face.

At the same time, at the entrance of the Floassian restaurant. “Mabel, this is the restaurant I eat often. I believe you’d like it.”
