Chapter 68 His Priority Isn’t What She Expected
Stanley didn’t reach for the agreements. As his words stuck in his throat, all he could do was watch her without blinking. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
The woman before me is the Herbs Expert, Chloe Blackwood, who is also the person who developed hundreds of medications. The netizens call her an angel walking among us.
However, Chloe was modest despite her reputation. She never spoke with the press. People couldn’t find a picture of her online.
Melinda being Chloe Blackwood was the last thing that ever came to his mind.
“Don’t look at me like that.” Melinda fidgeted in her seat. “I was talking to you. Did you hear me? Sign the agreement and I’ll treat your mother.”
Stanley sat opposite her. Picking up the agreement, he perused the document.
Melinda watched him as a frown formed between his brows, but she wasn’t worried at all. After all, she didn’t have any loss no matter what his decision was.
Stanley relaxed when he found she didn’t ask for a divorce in the agreement.
It seems like she’s willing to go on for the sake of the children.
However, there was one point Stanley wouldn’t agree with her, which was both of them sleeping in separate rooms from now on.
His eyes darted to her face as his thin lips parted. “There’s one thing I can’t agree with you. I can’t do that.”
Only one? He’s being surprisingly tolerant.
Even though she was surprised, Melinda kept a calm expression as she raised her voice. “You don’t have the right to disagree. It’s up to me to decide.”
She met his gaze when she spoke.
“The previous agreement is no longer valid. It’s invalid down to every poinnovelxo.com fast updatet.” She then stated, “If you don’t. feel like signing it, suit yourself. I’m not wasting my time on you.”
What is she trying to say? Stanley listened to her outburst without interrupting.
“After all, your mother hates me. She’s never friendly around me. I bet it’s hard to convince her to allow me to treat her. Lucky for her, I don’t have the patience to deal with her either.” Melinda haughtily raised her chin as she crossed her arms.
“Are you done yet?” Stanley’s gaze landed on her face.
-Think it over. Which one is more important? You mom or the previous agreement?”
He glanced at the agreement again before explaining in a low and gentle voice, “I’m not referring to that.”
“Huh?” His answer took her aback. Then which one is it?
Is there another thing he doesn’t feel comfortable complying with aside from this?
His Priority Isn’t What She Expected
The next second, she saw him picking up the fountain pen and crossing out the point at which she proposed the two of them sleep in separate rooms.
She bent down to study his movements, and her eyes widened in disbelief at her discovery. Damn! That’s his priority!!
After that, he put the pen aside. Tilting his head to look at her, Stanley calmly demanded, “Have you ever thought about what my mom would think if she knew we were sleeping in different rooms?”
“I-It’s a problem between you two,” she stuttered, her face flushed.
At that, Stanley continued. “She’ll try to play matchmaker for Monica and me if she finds an opportunity. What’s the point of faking the relationship if it can’t stop her?”
“That’s your problem!” Melinda protested with a scowl. “I don’t want to share a bed with you.”
There’s no basis for feelings to come between us! This is only an agreement. I don’t want to be a pawn in his plan against his mother!
“As if we never slept with each other before. Why are you so mad about this?” Teasing her with a casual tone, he took the pen from the table.
“Hey!”
Stanley signed his name at the bottom of the agreement. “We have a deal, Mrs. Fox.”
She was speechless upon hearing that.
“By the way, the food is delicious. Even though they were leftovers, I finished them. Thank you for the meal.”
Melinda wanted nothing but to rip Stanley’s head off as she watched him carefreely walk away.
His eyes shone with amusement. You’re not going anywhere, little bunny. I need you to keep me warm at night.
Since Melinda didn’t mention divorce in the agreement, Stanley was overjoyed.
Meanwhile, Melinda stayed calm and rational as she thought things through. Fine. Whatever As long as we cancel the previous agreement and I get my freedom back, I don’t suffer any loss, right? After all, a doctor is responsible to help those in need. Moreover, we are talking about my children’s grandmother here.
It was a windy night and the moon shone in the sky.
Mervin walked out of the bathroom of his apartment after a shower, a towel wrapped around his waist. He wasn’t wearing a shirt and his toned abs set off his masculinity.
The combination gave him a rebellious vibe.
He sat in front of the window. As the investor, owner, and captain of Coco Club, he was quite a character. His team won the championship in the world tour under his direction. In short, his team was born for cybersecurity.
He even won the gold award in the international programming contest.
He was a walking legend in the industry, but nobody could relate to his loneliness.
His Priority Isn’t What She Expected
Taking a sip of his wine, he turned on his laptop and searched for Stanley Fox and Melinda Paisley
