Chapter 704

Since it had already happened, Melody didn’t blame David. Everyone had times when they were confused.

However, since it had already happened once, she had to think of a way to prevent it from happening again. If she didn’t solve the root of the problem, such a thing would still happen.

David lowered his head in shame and stammered, “I was in a bad mood yesterday, so I wanted to find a place to drink some wine. In the end, I accidentally drank too much and slept until the bottle of wine was broken.”

Melody looked at David steadily and said, “It’s understandable to drown your sorrows in alcohol. Then tell me, why were you in a bad mood?”

“Well…” David choked. He pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Melody frowned. After a moment of silence, she asked, “Is it because Nana left Herbathrive?”

David’s hand paused and the fork in his hand fell to the ground.

Melody knew that she had guessed correctly. She sighed and said, “Nana was raised as an heir by the Jensen family since she was young. Although she had many bad habits in the past, it doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have the ability to take charge. The choice she made was very correct. She can’t stay in Herbathrive as an accountant for me forever.” David clenched his fists tightly and said, “I know. I also know that I’m not from the same circle as her. But I just… can’t let go. I wanted to drink because I knew that she’d drift apart from me in the future, and I couldn’t do anything. about it.”

Melody asked hesitantly, “Did Nana break up with you before she left?”

David quickly shook his head. “No, we’ve never officially been together.”

“What did she say before she left?”

“She said… she wanted me to be her boyfriend.”

Melody looked up with confusion in her eyes. “Isn’t that a

good thing? What’s there to drown your sorrows in? I thought she broke up with you, so you went to the bar to drink.”

David gritted his teeth and said, “I rejected her.”

“What? Don’t you like her too?” Melody was stunned. David smiled bitterly and said, “She’s the daughter of the Jenson family. I admit that I’m not worthy of her. The difference in our statuses is too great. It’s impossible for us to have a happy ending. Therefore, it’s better to suffer short-term pain than long-term pain. I might as well end it now.”

Melody could not help but laugh. “So the thing is, you rejected her and yet went to drink because you were in a bad mood, right?”

David hesitated before saying, “Yes.”

“David…” Melody looked at David exasperatedly and said, Relationships have never been about status. It’s not the same as before. You don’t need to be of equal status to be together as long as your relationship is solid enough.

“You think it’s better to have short-term pain than long-term pain now, but in fact, short-term pain is also painful, right? Also, Nana, whom you rejected, will only suffer more than you.

“To be honest, I think you’re unmanly like this. You’re afraid that you’ll suffer even more in the future, so you’re hurting her now. Is that fair to her? Is that fair to you? You might as well fight with all your might and persevere until the end.” The dim light in David’s eyes lit up bit by bit.

Melody was about to continue persuading, but David suddenly stood up and said, “Miss Fox, I understand. Thank you. I know what to do. No matter what happens in the future, I have to be true to my heart now. I like Nana and will do my best to be with her until the end.”

Melody smiled and said, “That’s right. Nana is probably still in the company. When she gets off work, go to the entrance of her company and wait for her. Remember to buy a bouquet. Girls like flowers. Also, tidy yourself up before you go over. You reek of alcohol. She won’t like it.”

David nodded vigorously. “Alright. I understand.”

Melody knocked on the table and said, “Sit down and eat more. You didn’t eat much just now.”

“Okay.” David, who had no appetite just now, suddenly felt hungry. He took a new fork and began to eat vigorously.

Melody took a deep breath in relief but suddenly thought of herself.

That day in the ward, she rejected Ken because of her cowardice.

She thought, ‘If only I had David’s courage. It’s laughable that I had thought that David was not manly enough just now. Aren’t I also a coward in relationships?’

At the same time, Sabrina brought a group of well-trained bodyguards to Blue Moon Lounge.

Reece, who was sitting in a wheelchair, pointed at Blue Moon Lounge and said, “It’s here. The person I sent to follow them said that they’re in a private room on the second floor.”

“Blue Moon Lounge?” Sabrina said hesitantly, “Didn’t you say that the woman who attacked you was poor and ugly? Blue Moon Lounge isn’t a place where just anyone can go in for a meal.”

Reece said, “She definitely doesn’t have any background. She’s wearing very shabby clothes. The shoes on her feet are even canvas shoes that cost less than 20 dollars. I’m not sure why she can dine at Blue Moon Lounge.”

“The backer behind Blue Moon Lounge seems to be the Swanson family. Forget it, I’ll go in and take a look first.” Frowning, Sabrina still walked towards Blue Moon Lounge. However, when the group of people reached the entrance, they were stopped by the usher. “Excuse me, do you have a reservation?”

Sabrina rolled her eyes and said with a smile, “I’m the best friend of Mr. Swanson’s girlfriend. I don’t need a reservation, right?”

“Mr. Swanson’s girlfriend? Do you mean Miss Fox?” The usher’s expression softened.

The proprietress had told him that anyone who was Melody’ s friend could dine here without making a reservation. When Sabrina saw the change in the usher’s expression, she immediately knew that she had made the right bet. Blue Moon Lounge’s backer was indeed Ulric.

Sabrina nodded and said, “That’s right. I was eating with her not long ago.”

The usher immediately smiled and said, “Since you’re Miss Fox’s friend, there’s no need to make a reservation. Please come in. You can sit wherever there’s an empty seat.”

Raising an eyebrow, Sabrina walked in with Reece and her men.

After entering, Sabrina was both envious and resentful. “I didn’t expect Mabel’s name to be so useful.”

“Who is Mabel?” Reece, who had never come into contact with the upper-class society, had naturally never heard of Mabel’s name.

“No one. She’s just a pretty face who likes to show off.” Not willing to mention Mabel, Sabrina went straight to the second floor.

Reece was in a wheelchair, so two bodyguards carried him upstairs.

Sabrina pointed at this end of the private rooms and said, ” Reece, you’ll start looking from here. I’ll start from that end. Call me when you find her. Oh, by the way, does that woman have any recognizable characteristics?”

Reece replied, “She’s easy to spot. She’s ugly with red spots all over her face.”

“Okay.” Sabrina nodded and led half of her men to the other end of the private rooms.

In the private room that Melody was in, David was almost done eating. When he looked up, he saw Melody looking down. She seemed to be in a bad mood.

Just as he was about to ask, the door of the private room was suddenly pulled open.
