Chapter 790

Colin Herbert nodded and looked at everyone. “You guys go ahead and do your work. When I decide on a day to set off, I’ll tell you a day in advance. I’ll treat you guys to a meal as a farewell.”

“Master…”

David Marrow’s eyes were a little red.

He felt like he was on a roller coaster today.

He should be happy that Miss Fox did not have to leave, but now that it was Colin Herbert who was leaving, he was no less reluctant than before.

However, since this was his wife’s wish and she had just returned from the gates of hell, what reason did he have not to wish them well?

“Alright, I haven’t left yet. Don’t cry. Wait for me before I leave. If I see anyone crying, I won’t let them off!”

“Yes… Master.” David Marrow sniffed. He also felt that he was a little girly today.

If Nana Jensen saw this, he would probably laugh at him for the entire day.

After calming everyone down, the two of them left the meeting room and returned to the backyard.

In the backyard, Beverly Herbert was helping Momma Talia in the kitchen.

Although the two of them had just met, they hit it off very well. It was as if they had endless things to talk about. Even their work became interesting.

“Uncle Colin, are you sure you want to leave? I haven’t had the time to nurse Beverly’s body and help her have a child as soon as possible.”

Colin Herbert shook his head. “After this hospitalization, we’ve come to terms with the child. We’re already used to the world of two people. Having another child might not be entirely a good thing, so we plan to let nature take its course. Besides, Beverly is already forty years old. I don’t want her to take the risk of giving birth to my child at her age.”

“I understand… Has Beverly figured it out herself?”

“Yes, the most important thing is that she and I are happy. Nothing else is important.”

“It’s good that you’ve thought it through. It’s indeed very risky to be an old mother. By the way, Uncle Colin, what do you want to tell me? Is that what you’re talking about?”

“No, wait… Shuang’er!”

Colin Herbert sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard and called Beverly Herbert over.

The two of them seemed to have discussed something in advance. After looking at each other, Beverly Herbert was the first to hold her hand and ask, “Melody, your Uncle Colin and I don’t have any children, so I was thinking, do you want to be our adopted daughter?”

Melody looked up and choked.

“Beverly…”

Beverly Herbert held her hand even harder.

“If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have much time left. I still feel that something is missing when I give you the Herbathrive. That’s why I thought of this. Your Uncle Colin and I both like you very much and feel sorry for you. Although we’re about to leave Silverlake, I’ll try my best to be a good mother during this period before we leave. Are you willing to give me this chance?”

“I’m willing…”

Melody nodded. Her eyes were already red.

In her previous life, Beverly Herbert was already in the late stages of stomach cancer. She did not expect her to become her adoptive mother in this life.

Therefore, fate could be changed.

If she could change Beverly Herbert’s fate, she would definitely be able to change her fate of being killed by Ulric Swanson.

She wanted to firmly hold her fate in her hands!

“Good girl…”

Beverly Herbert reached out and hugged her. As he patted her back, he said, “Don’t call me Beverly anymore. Call me Mommy.”

“Mom…”

Tears rolled down Melody’s face.

This was the first time in her life that she had called someone this, not a tombstone.

She thought that her mother in heaven would be happy for her, right?

The mother and daughter hugged each other for a long time, crying uncontrollably.

Colin Herbert, who was watching from the side, felt a lump in his throat. He went forward and persuaded, “It’s a good thing that you’ve acknowledged your daughter. Don’t cry.” Only then did the two of them stop crying.

Beverly Herbert held Melody Fox’s hand and put the jade bracelet on Melody Fox.

“This is…”

“This is what my mother left for me. I’ll give it to you now. When we leave, let it accompany you for me. Don’t refuse.” “Got it…” Melody nodded seriously and carefully put on the bracelet.

Beverly Herbert smiled and asked in an extremely gentle tone, “Melody, I want to organize a banquet to officially acknowledge you. I want to ask you if there’s a hotel you like? I’ll get your father to book it and find a good day. We, Herbathrive, will have a meal together and invite Ken Swanson along the way.”

“I’m fine with anything. I’m not picky.”

“Alright, then the two of us won’t care about anything. Let him get busy.”

Colin Herbert pretended to have a headache, but he was happy in his heart.

As Herbathrive closed, Melody Fox went to look for Momma Talia.

Momma Talia asked, “Has the matter with pasta been settled?”

Momma Talia was capable, experienced in business, and more patient and ambitious. With Momma Talia’s help, she could almost do nothing and only be responsible for producing the formula.

Therefore, regarding pasta’s matter, Melody Fox had already decided to make her a partner.

“It’s not that… pasta is still in the process of going to the market. It will take at least a week. I’m looking for you today because I need your help with something.” Momma Talia opened her mouth and said, “Previously, we even said that we would help you or not. As long as you ask, I will immediately do it. I wonder what it is?”

“I have a friend. His grandfather is sick, but because he can’ t find a suitable caregiver, he asked me for help…”

Momma Talia immediately said, “I’ll take care of him! Coincidentally, the lady boss is back. She’s also very good at cooking. I’m afraid I’ll be bored. Which hospital is your friend’s grandfather in? What does he need?”

“I’m afraid we have to go tonight.”

“Then I’ll pack up and leave in a while.”

“Thank you, Momma Talia…”

“Your business is my business. There’s no need to thank me. If it weren’t for you, Nana and I would have starved to death on the streets.”

“Then, then I’ll get my subordinates to bring you there directly in case you find the wrong person.”

“No problem,” Momma Talia happily agreed.

Beverly Herbert had just been discharged from the hospital and would not leave in a hurry. Therefore, Beverly Herbert was in charge of the logistics of Herbathrive. Momma Talia could take care of Ford Nelson in the hospital.

After making the arrangements, Melody boarded the car back to Manor the Swanson family.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the manor, it was already completely dark.

As soon as she opened the car door, a blinding light shone into her eyes.

An MPV sped towards her.

“Miss Fox! Be careful!” Aaron Berg stepped forward to pull her over, but Melody Fox stood firmly where she was, making it impossible for her to move.

The car that was speeding towards them only braked when it was less than half a meter away from them. It made a screeching sound.

Even Aaron Berg was shocked by this car.

If the car had not braked in time, the two of them would have been sent flying.

Aaron Berg covered his eyes with the back of his hand and asked Melody Fox, “Miss Fox, are you alright? The speed of this car just now…

群

“Don’t be afraid. He doesn’t dare to bump into me. He’s just scaring us.”
