Chapter 80

“No, there’s no need.” Melody quickly said, “You’re pregnant. I’ll go alone. Just tell me the location of the auction invitation and the time.”

Ruby Taylor was very insistent.

“Mason’s situation is complicated. His relationship with his brother has always been very tense. Moreover, his brother deliberately wants to marginalize him and snatch the position of Taylor family’s heir.”

“It just so happens that Mason broke his leg. If I didn’t go with you, I’m afraid you cannot buy the Green Velvet so easily by you.”

“Don’t worry about me. The results of my pregnancy test came out today. The baby is very healthy. It won’t be a problem if I move a little. The doctor even asked me to move more so that the child won’t be difficult to give birth to in the future.”

“However, in the end, it’s all Mason’s fault. Why did he choose this critical moment? I’m really speechless at him!”

Melody hurriedly said, “Don’t say that. Although I’ve never participated in the auction of Green Velvet, I’ve heard a little about it. Not to mention getting Mason, even getting an invitation to the auction is not easy. I’m already very grateful that you guys can provide me with an invitation.”

Ruby felt even more guilty.

“Melody, you flatter me. If it weren’t for you, Mason’s eyes would probably be blind now. It would be very difficult for us to get pregnant with the baby in my stomach. You’re our family’s benefactor. We’re already very happy that we can help you.”

Melody smiled.

“It’s my good fortune to know you.”

Ruby held her hand and stood up. “The invitation hasn’t been sent over from Insterimond yet. I’ll send it to you immediately when it’s sent over. I’ll arrange the flight tickets for the departure. When it’s time, just meet me at the airport. Don’t worry about anything else.”

“Thank you…”

“Don’t say thank you between us anymore. You’re half a mother to my baby. I still want you to be my baby’s godmother in the future!”

“Sure. I like kids.”

“Then hurry up and have one yourself!”

“I’ll… we’ll see.”

Ruby observed her slightly red cheeks. The sharpness of a woman made her instantly sense something.

She patted Melody’s shoulder and said, “Is there any progress with Mr. Swanson?”

Melody’s face turned even redder.

“I-I guess so…

“Tell me about it!”

“There’s nothing much to say.” Melody scratched her head in embarrassment and said, “When the wedding will be held in the future, I’ll invite you guys over. I hope you’ll do me the honor when the time comes.” “Wow!”

Ruby nodded happily and said, “I’ll definitely be there! But don’t choose my due date. I can’t wait to attend your wedding. By the way, my due date is in February next year.”

“Alright, I’ll remember.”

“That’s great…” Ruby could not help but sigh. “You’re such a good girl. Of course, you have to be matched by a good man. If it’s Ken Swanson, I can rest assured.”

Melody could not help but ask in confusion, “Many people in Silverlake have a bad impression of Ken Swanson. There are many misunderstandings. Why don’t you seem to have these misunderstandings?”

Ruby spoke of one thing as if she knew it very well. “When Mason and I first came to Silverlake, many people told me about him. I did believe those words and was biased against him. Even when I just heard that you were very close to him, I was worried that you would be harmed by him…

“However, one time, a relative from my hometown came to visit me. I took her to a cocktail party. Ken Swanson was also there. My relative’s family background was very ordinary, so she had never attended such a cocktail party. Therefore, it was quickly seen that she was not from our circle.

I had just gotten pregnant, so I went to the toilet more frequently… She had unintentionally been targeted by two socialites that time when I went to the bathroom. They wanted to tease her. Fortunately, Ken Swanson had helped her, so she didn’t embarrass herself.

“At that time, I knew that someone in his position who could help someone with an ordinary status couldn’t be bad. Later, I thought that a smart person like you wouldn’t be easily deceived, so I was sure that those rumors were fake.”

“I see. No wonder… He looks difficult to get along with, but he’s actually a good person.”

“Hahahaha! Fortunately, the two of you are already together. Otherwise, those who don’t know might think that you’re giving Ken Swanson a good person card!”

Actually, it wasn’t like she hadn’t sent it before.

Right at this moment, a deep voice sounded-

“Who gave me a “good man” card?”

This voice…

Melody suddenly looked at the door and saw Ken Swanson standing by the door. He leaned against the door and smiled at her leisurely.

Although they were now officially husband and wife, when Ken Swanson met her gaze, Melody could not help but blush and her heart beat faster.

Ruby looked at Melody and knew that she really liked Ken Swanson. Her lips curled up as she pulled Melody forward.

“Speak of the devil, Mr. Swanson. It’s been a long time since we last met. It’s all thanks to your help regarding my cousin’s matter.”

Ken Swanson’s eyes were filled with doubt.

“Your cousin?”

“Have you forgotten? At the charity banquet at the beginning of last month, you helped a girl. If it weren’t for you, she would have fallen into the pool… When she went back, she specially instructed me to thank you on her behalf.”

“So it’s that person… It’s nothing. There’s no need to thank me.”

Ruby shook her head.

“No, no, no. I still have to thank you. That child is a little depressed to begin with. If she loses face in front of so many people, I’m afraid her condition will be even worse.” “Alright, then I’ll accept your thanks.”

Ruby smiled and said tactfully, “Mission accomplished. Then I won’t disturb your couple’s private time. I’ll take my leave first. Melody, see you at the airport next week.”

“Yup!”

Melody watched Ruby leave. When she saw her return to the hospital surrounded by bodyguards, she guessed that she must have gone back to see Mason in the ward.

She had originally planned to visit Mason, but Ken Swanson suddenly came. It was not good for him to follow her to visit.

After all, Ken Swanson was a man. the Swanson Group and Mason had both interests and competitive relationships. Under such circumstances, it was not appropriate for him to investigate Mason’s illness.

Melody had just retracted her gaze when she heard Ken Swanson ask, “What do you mean by ‘see you at the airport next week’? Where are you going?”

“I have to go to Insterimond,” Melody said truthfully. “I forgot to tell you that these red spots on my face… are caused by a special poison. It’s not easy to treat and requires many rare herbs. One of them is called Green Velvet. Only the Taylor family has it. Next week, Green Velvet will auction in Insterimond, so I have to go.”

“I know about this,” Ken Swanson said. As he brought her into the car, he asked, “What happened to the poison on your face? Who poisoned you? Do you need me to capture that guy and get him to give me the antidote?”
