Chapter 768

The dishes in Lin City were basically seafood. Melody didn’t like the smell of fish, so she didn’t eat much for dinner and lunch.

Therefore, in less than ten minutes, the dishes Ken Swanson brought were almost finished by Melody.

Ken Swanson actually brought a lot of food. Seeing how Melody ate so cleanly, he knew that this trip was not in vain.

If he hadn’t come, She might have lost weight by the time she returned to Silverlake. Melody’s weight was already on the light side. If she continued to lose weight, he didn’t know how much he would need to make up for.

Ken Swanson was very glad that he had specially flown over. The fatigue from the journey had already been swept away.

He did not have the self-awareness of a young master at all. Like a servant, he took the initiative to help Melody put away the food box and poured her a cup of hot coffee.

“Come and moisten your throat. You ate too quickly just now. Don’t choke on it.”

Melody waved her hand and half-slumped in her chair. I’m not drinking anymore. I can’t even drink a drop.”

“Then I’ll help you massage your stomach to help with digestion,” Ken Swanson said as he massaged Melody’s stomach.

Due to physical problems, girls were more likely to have a small stomach than boys. However, even though Melody was so full, there was no excess fat on her stomach. Ken Swanson could not help but say in confusion, “You clearly ate a lot too. Why are you still so thin? You can’t just eat without gaining weight.”

“Why? Do you think it’s a waste of food if I don’t grow fat?”

Ken Swanson pretended to glare at her.

“You don’t know how to appreciate kindness! I heard that people who only eat won’t gain weight. Perhaps it’s because their digestion isn’t good, so I mentioned it.”

“Don’t worry, I’m a doctor myself. Don’t you know that there’ s a problem with my digestion? My innocence is inherited. My mother…”

At the mention of Jiang Wilona, Melody’s good mood sank.

Ken Swanson observed Melody’s expression and knew that she was upset because of Jiang Wilona. Hence, he deliberately said in an extremely relaxed tone, “That’s true. Your mother was a beauty that was popular all over the world back then. She was famous for having a good figure. Even I have an impression of her.”

Melody did not want to bring negative emotions to Ken Swanson. She tried her best to squeeze out a smile and said, “Yes, it’s a pity that I didn’t inherit her looks.”

She paused and suddenly became curious about Ken Swanson’s thoughts about her face. She could not help but probe, “Aren’t you… afraid that after we announce our marriage, everyone will laugh at you because of my face?” Ken Swanson frowned. “Who cares what those superficial people are thinking?”

Melody lowered her eyes, but the expression in her eyes became even more complicated.

She did not care in the past, but after confirming her feelings with Ken Swanson… she became more and more concerned about this aspect.

Melody took a deep breath and changed the topic. ” Aren’t you very busy in the company these few days? What do you plan to do when you return?”

“Take the earliest flight tomorrow morning.”

Melody was shocked.

“You’re in such a hurry? Wouldn’t that be tiring?”

She thought that he could at least have lunch before leaving.

“There’s a morning meeting tomorrow morning. I can’t push it. And I can’t let anyone at the estate find out I’m not home.”

“But if you don’t go back for a night, how can they not notice?”

“I went back for a while and found a voice that sounded similar to mine to stay in my room. Then, I climbed over the wall and came out. Before I left, I specially told them that I was very busy today and that I would eat dinner in my room. I told them not to disturb me.”

..So, you still have to climb over the wall and return to the manor tomorrow morning?”

“Yeah.”

“You… Why do you have to do this?”

Ken Swanson rubbed her head.

“If I don’t come over, what if you’re hungry? Let’s go. It’s not easy for us to come out. Shall we walk around?”

“No, you should rest early. There’s an early flight tomorrow.”

“It’s not even seven o’clock yet. It won’t take long.” Ken Swanson held her hand and pulled her out without any explanation.

James Deeds had long known that Ken Swanson had come to Lincheng. He was waiting at the door when the two of them left.

When he saw Ken Swanson, James Deeds quickly went up to him.

“Young Master.”

“You stay here. I’ll go out with Melody.”

“Yes, Young Master!”

Melody saw the lack of surprise on James Deeds’s face and knew that all of them knew that Ken Swanson was there. She was the last to know.

Melody could not help but glare at Ken Swanson again. Ken Swanson pretended to be innocent and smiled as he hugged her waist and walked out.

When the passersby saw the huge difference in their looks between Melody Fox and Ken Swanson, their eyes were filled with shock.

Melody acutely noticed the gazes of the others and subconsciously lowered her head.

“What’s wrong?” Ken Swanson asked in confusion, “Is there something on the ground? Keep your head down.”

“No…” Melody shook her head and asked, “Where are we going?”

“To Round Sand Island, I suppose? Have you ever been there?”

“No, but I’ve heard that Round Sand Island is closed to tourists after six o’clock at night. Only the residents of Round Sand Island can enter and leave the island.”

Round Sand Island was one of the most famous attractions in Lin City. It was a comprehensive island tourist area that combined sightseeing, shopping, leisure, and entertainment. It was across the sea from Lin City and could only be reached by boat.

However, in order not to affect the rest of the island’s natives, there was a rule that was not open to outsiders at six in the evening.

Ken Swanson smiled. “Who said we’re tourists?”

“Huh?”

Soon, Melody experienced what it meant to be rich and inhumane. With money, she could do whatever she wanted.

Ken Swanson actually owned a private villa that occupied a large area in a place where even locals had difficulty applying for the right to buy a house.

Of course, this villa was still incomparable to Serenity Villa. After all, Serenity Villa was the best villa area in Silverlake. However, compared to the surrounding houses, it was already considered a super luxurious house.

There were people maintaining the mansion every day, so the two servants welcomed them politely.

“Sir, Madam, welcome home.”

Ken Swanson nodded slightly and said to Melody, who was still sizing up the villa, “It’s too troublesome to take the boat back and forth. The night wind is cold. Let’s just stay here tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll get James Deeds to come and pick you up.”

Melody came back to her senses and nodded. “Sure, I’m fine. I’m just afraid that it’ll be inconvenient for you to go to the airport.”

“Don’t worry about me. There used to be a lot of guest rooms here. Let’s go and take a look at Round Sand Island at night.” Ken Swanson held her hand and said to the servant, “Clean the master bedroom before we come back.”

“Don’t worry, sir. It was ready when we received your message.”

“Mm. Then let’s go.”

He tightened his grip on Melody. The streetlights stretched their shadows so long.

Watching the two of them leave, the two servants finally dared to speak.

“Oh my god, is this really Sir’s wife? Why do I feel that… her appearance doesn’t match?”

“I think she’s quite nice. She looks very kind. She’s not the kind of person who’s difficult to get along with.”

“That’s true. As long as she doesn’t hit or scold us servants, it doesn’t matter if she’s good-looking or not. Let’s go and check the master bedroom again to see if there’s anything else to buy.”
