Mellisa felt warm upon the defense Leonard provided, but at the same time there was a hint of confusion.
How did Leonard know she was here?!
Still, this reaction infuriated Leonhart!
Facing the strong Leonhart, Mellisa lowered her head and said politely, "Sir, it is time for the young master to take some medicine!"
Leonhart looked deeply at Mellisa after hearing that voice. After a few seconds, he coldly replied.
"Since you need to take some medicine, I will go first. Leonard, you should consider what I just said. It's still not too late for you and Lyn. Regardless of how your current condition is, you can't hide from this marriage, you…"
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't want to die early, so hurry up and leave!"
Leonard's attitude towards his father was never okay.
His arrogant words seemed to have angered Leonhart on purpose.
The father and son had the same air of arrogance.
This was the first time Mellisa had seen Leonard look so arrogant and cold.
At this time, Leonhart snorted coldly, turned his sleeves up, and walked to the door. But he slowly stopped in front of Mellisa.
He looked at Mellisa, his gaze drifting from her neck to her lower abdomen, and his eyes narrowed. "I heard you met Lyn yesterday. As a servant of the Adler family, has no one taught you rules and etiquette?"
Melissa stretched her eyebrows, slowly raising her head to meet Leonhart's eyes. "Sir, how can you be sure that I don't know rules and etiquette? "
"Hmm!" Leonhart sneered. "Are you saying Lyn is talking nonsense? She has a higher rank than you here, and you are a servant. Are you telling me not to trust Lyn?"
Mellisa saw the unhappiness buried between Leonhart's eyebrows and eyes. Then she sighed softly. "Sir, even if there is a difference in status between me and Miss Lyn, I believe that someone like you cannot ignore the facts, right?
"Miss Lyn is the future wife of the Adler family, but her words and actions did not reflect the qualities that one should have as a future wife. Do you expect us to respect her?"
Leonhart was taken aback, and a thin wave appeared in his deep vision.
"A future wife? A woman like her doesn't even deserve to be an Adler's dishwasher."
Leonard's words followed Melissa's sneer, actually sounded very harsh.
He subconsciously denied Lyn, making Leonhart's brows immediately covered in ice.
The man was speechless for a while, he looked back at Leonard, and then turned around angrily.
After he left, the usual peace had returned.
Mellisa is still stuck in the same place. She glanced at the closed bedroom door, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.
Today, she didn't hold back her anger, she came face to face with Lyn and the Patriarch. The Adler family's situation didn't seem that simple.
At this moment, Leonard, who had calmed down, beckoned her.
Mellisa suppressed her thoughts, and walked forward. "Young master, what do you need me for?"
Leonard smiled. "Didn't you say that I should take the medicine? Where's the medicine? Give it to me now."
Mellisa suddenly remembered the nonsensical reason. She bent down and picked up the vial of medicine that Lawrence had sent from the bedside table, poured it and handed it to Leonard's mouth. "The relationship between the young master and the head of the family.. Are you guys on bad terms?"
Leonard lifted the corners of his lips to hold back the pill, and he didn't know if it was intentional or unintentional. His thin lips accidentally caught Mellisa's finger.
He said sorry, and when he let go of Mellisa's finger, he said in a relaxed tone, "Our relationship is like water and fire, we really don't match!"
Mellisa. "..."
Unexpectedly, the odds between Leonard and his father had already intensified.
No wonder the situation at this house was tense.
Leonard took a sip of water, swallowed a pill, and licked the corners of his lips. "You met Lyn earlier?"
"Well, I had a fight with her."
Leonard's eyes lit up, he saw Mellisa who was tidying the bedside table. "If she makes you unhappy, you can do whatever you want to her."
Mellisa paused, then smiled and shook her head. "I dare not, even though I really want to hit her, Miss Lyn is still the future wife of the Adler family!"
Mellisa said this very naturally.
No anger, no jealousy, like stating the facts lightly.
Leonard's face sank after hearing this. "In this life, she has no chance to become the wife of my Adler family!"
"Is that true?" Mellisa looked at him. "I heard she passed the exam though?"
Leonard fixed his pillow with a frown, he muttered. "Who told you?"
"Everyone knows that!" Mellisa said, unhurried.
Her words immediately stopped Leonard from talking!
He closed his eyes and lay half-hearted, unable to let Lyn inside his heart.
Were it not for the wrong time, he would throw her out of the door of his family's home!
Mellisa narrowed her eyes and paid attention to Leonard's indifferent and unhappy look, then pursed her lips and stopped the conversation.
In the bedroom, the atmosphere fell into a strange silence.
As for Lyn outside the door, she planned to come in after Leonhart left.
But the old butler stopped her because of the inconvenience.
Although he couldn't stop the Patriarch from entering the door, he had to stop Lyn.
Everyone in the Adler family knew that the relationship between Leonard and Leonhart had fallen to the freezing point because of his fiancée.
This young master said to him yesterday that in the future, everyone in the house must protect the new maid and treat it as a host.
Not only that, he even required the chef to cook Mellisa's daily meals.
The old butler believed that his young master might be stimulated and lost interest in women.
The new waiter is handsome, has a good personality, and can please people indeed!
It could be said that the old butler was more open-minded than anyone, as long as the master liked him, he didn't care if the partner was a man or a woman!
...
At two o'clock that day, the maids had already removed all the sofas in the master bedroom and put the large bed in its original position.
At this moment, Mellisa saw the familiar bed arrangement in front of her, so she turned her head to look across, opened her mouth, and stopped talking.
The layout of this bed is exactly the same as the layout in the master bedroom of Villa Lakeside.
"Do you like it?" Leonard suddenly asked Mellisa.
Mellisa sighed softly, and as she gently sat on the side of the bed, she could see Leonard as she lifted her eyes.
She thought for a while, and the conversation changed. "Young Master seems to have recovered a lot in the past few days. Do you have any other plans after this?"
Upon hearing this, Leonard frowned warily. "What do you think I should do?"
Mellisa thought she had misunderstood his intentions, and explained, "I'm not asking about your arrangements. It's just that… Do you want to lay weak on your bed forever?"
