Chapter 648

Out of curiosity, Ken walked over.

Perhaps Melody was too serious. She did not notice he was standing beside her and continued to write and revise in the magazine.

Ken first looked at the magazine that was out of print. Then, he asked without changing his expression, “What are you writing?”

Melody was so frightened by his sudden voice that her hand holding the pen was a little unstable.

Upon seeing it was Ken, she explained, “I’m rewriting the recipe of the filling of the ravioli.”

“Oh?” Ken was not good at cooking. He asked, “I think the food I ate today is great. Can’t you use it directly?”

Melody nodded and said, “Of course not. I didn’t think about how long to store the ravioli filling today, nor did I consider selling the ravioli. Therefore, the ingredients and herbs I used are relatively expensive, and the ravioli is not unsuited for storage.

“Since they will be sold as instant food, I must prioritize recovering our investment and ensure it doesn’t go bad for a long time. Therefore, I have to change my recipe.

Melody had been thinking about it for more than an hour.

Then Melody asked Ken, “Are you done?”

“Yeah.”

“Let’s go back. I want to go home and think about it. The sofa is a little hard, and it’s uncomfortable to sit on it.”

“Okay.” Ken took the coat hanging on the chair and threw it into her hand. He said almost commandingly, “Put it on before you go out.”

“I’m not cold.” Melody quickly shook her head.

“Well? Do you want me to help you put it on?”

“No, no!” Melody quickly waved her hand. Then, she took the jacket and put it on.

Ken was very tall, close to 6.2 feet. Melody was only 5.5 feet. Melody wore his windbreaker coat like a child in an adult’s coat.

Ken took a look and could not help but laugh.

Melody glared at him.

He was the one who wanted her to wear it!

Melody and Melody walked out of the office one after another. James and Spencer quickly greeted them.

“Mr. Swanson,” said Spencer.

“Mr. Swanson,” said James.

“Yes. Go and get the car,” said Ken.

“Yes!” James was surprised by Ken’s speed, but he did not dare to ask further. He took out the car key and asked Spencer to start the car.

“Remember to turn on the air conditioner.”

James reminded Spencer but was still worried. He took the car keys and walked in front.

The maintenance of the elevator was not over yet. Along the way,

they encountered many employees who took the safe passage.

When everyone saw Melody wearing Ken’s coat, they quietly looked over and gossiped.

However, when they saw Melody’s face, the gossip in their eyes quickly dissipated.

Melody must be Ken’s friend or relative since she was so ugly.

Melody naturally felt the gazes of those people. She did not care about such gazes before because she thought what they thought was their business. But now, she subconsciously lowered her head for some reason.

The feeling of inferiority that she had felt in her previous life had appeared again in this life.

She thought her heart had become indestructible in this life, but it turned out she had overestimated herself, right?

She subconsciously glanced at Ken. Fortunately, Ken was on the phone and did not notice her abnormal reaction.

They finally reached the underground garage after walking down over twenty floors with difficulty.

The signal in the garage was not good. Ken hung up and turned to her. “Margaret will be back the day after tomorrow.”

“Yes,” Melody replied absent-mindedly.

However, in the next second, Ken said, “She said the family will have breakfast together and go to Cadence’s funeral the next day. She wants you to come along. We have to return to the manor together tomorrow night.”

Melody stopped in her tracks.

Returning to the manor meant that they had to sleep together and interact intimately from time to time in front of the Swanson family to avoid being discovered by the Swanson family people that she and Ken were acting as a loving couple.

However, that was not the point now.

Melody’s face turned slightly pale. She lowered her voice and asked, “Did Margaret hear some rumors when she asked me over for Cadence’s funeral?”

For example, Cadence’s death was related to her.

Ken’s expression was also solemn.

“If that’s the case, you won’t be able to turn it down.”

“Right…”

Melody was responsible for Cadence’s death. Although she felt Cadence deserved it, she still felt a little upset when she thought about how Margaret would be disappointed in her.

Melody rarely felt people who were genuinely good to her. Margaret was one of those people who was genuinely nice to her. She did not want to disappoint those who were genuinely nice to her.

However, she could not admit to Cadence’s death.

Ken suddenly grabbed Melody’s hand while she was struggling.

She subconsciously looked up at him and met his dark and determined gaze.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything.”

Melody’s nervous heart miraculously calmed down.

After returning to Serenity Villa, Melody was no longer in the mood to think about the frozen ravioli. She tossed and turned in bed, thinking about Cadence’s funeral.

Her sixth sense told her something bad could happen at the funeral.

Melody thought, ‘Why don’t I just not go? Wendell can’t do anything to me if I don’t go. However, if Wendell has spoken ill of me to Margaret, doesn’t it make me feel guilty not to show up at this point? If I did, Ulric would have done something… No. Mabel was also present at that time. If Ulric wants to clarify Cadence’s matter, Mabel would inevitably be involved. Ulric might do nothing or might do something I don’t expect.’

Melody was caught in a dilemma.

The more Melody thought about it, the more conflicted she became. As a result, she did not sleep the entire night. The next day, she walked out of the room with two dark circles under her eyes.

Ken had gone to work, and Susan was preparing her breakfast.

Upon seeing her like that, Susan was immediately shocked.

“Mrs. Swanson, what did you do last night?”

Susan swallowed the words “Have you gone to be a thief?” She asked worriedly, “Do you want to rest more?”

Melody touched her face.

‘Is it that obvious?’ thought Melody.

She smiled awkwardly and said, “I was busy with something last night and stayed up all night.”

“That won’t do. If you don’t recuperate, you’ll suffer even more when you get pregnant later. It won’t be good for the child, too.”

What was going on? How could Melody have a child with Ken?

At the very least, Melody wouldn’t be affected by staying up all night even if she did have a child with Ken.

However, Susan had had the older generation’s view, so Melody did not refute her. She said, “I’ll pay attention next time. Can you make me a cup of coffee?”

“Of course. I’ll go right now. However, you should eat something first. Drinking coffee on an empty stomach is not good for you.”

“Alright…” Melody helplessly pulled out a chair and sat down, but her heart was warm.

Melody couldn’t have such trivial care when she was with the Fox family. Naturally, she felt happy.

Melody finally felt alive after breakfast and a cup of coffee,

Spencer was already waiting at the door, ready to drive anytime.

Melody received a call from David when she got into the car.

“Miss Fox, bad news!”
