Mellisa was shocked as she looked at the figure in front of her warily.
Under the moonlight, a tall figure slowly emerged from behind the tree.
Mellisa looked at the other person's cheeks clearly and was very surprised. "Kevin?"
How could he show up near Leonard's villa so late at night?
At this moment, Kevin was holding a document in his hand. He stood in front of Mellisa, nodding. "Sorry, did I scare you?"
Mellisa's gaze fell on his hands, and her eyes flowed. "You heard everything?"
"If you want Luke's information, I can give it to you." Kevin repeated, which made Mellisa even more confused.
"Why?"
"Helping you, this can be considered as following the rules of the big master."
Kevin's explanation was clear, but Mellisa felt that things weren't that simple.
She studied Kevin's nonchalant brows for a moment, thought about it, and said, "Was it the Patriarch who asked you to come here at night?"
Kevin raised his head and looked at Mellisa. He tugged at the corners of his mouth and withdrew his hand.
"I'm here to give you this document, but these are indeed the instructions of the Patriarch. I wanted to give it to the officer downstairs, but I happened to see you out. I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone the details of the phone."
Mellisa looked at him, and then took the file from Kevin. "What is this?"
"All of this can give you a deeper understanding of the Adler family."
Mellisa didn't open it, she just rubbed her palms twice. "If you didn't see me come out and hand it over to the bodyguards, wouldn't you have this file leaked?"
Facing Mellisa's suspicions, Kevin smiled and shook his head. "It's just a brief summary of the family members, so the guards won't suspect anything because there really isn't anything to keep secret. In addition, the Patriarch also asked me to give you a message."
"What?"
Kevin lowered his eyes slightly, and whispered. "After you know this information, if you really decide to stay, then go to the study room at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon to meet him. You don't have to worry about your disguise, the Patriarch will arrange it in advance. At least don't let the young master find any traces."
Mellisa's eyes glinted warmly, showing her vigilance that slightly receded. "Then tell him that no matter what happens, I will come in time."
The implication is that it doesn't matter whether she sees this document or not, she will come to see him.
Kevin nodded unhurriedly, his voice even. "I'll pass on your message, see you tomorrow."
Mellisa watched Kevin turn and disappear at night, then look at the document in her hand.
How did she feel that the Patriarch was more anxious than she was in fighting for the future wife spot?
Mellisa held the document tightly, sighed, and returned to the same path.
She jumped in from the back window lightly. The window on the first floor of the villa wasn't that high. Even if she was pregnant, it wouldn't hold her back.
Mellisa jumped down the corridor, and through the dim wall lamp, she gently closed the window with her backhand.
Turning around, she almost exclaimed in surprise.
"You, you..."
Melissa held the window in one hand, and the file in her hand fell to the floor with a creaking sound.
When did Leonard come?!
Wasn't he sleeping in the room?!
At this moment, Leonard was standing in front of Melissa without a word. His hair was a little messy, and he was still wearing those gray pajamas.
He narrowed her eyes, slightly displeased, then crouched down and took the file. "What is this?"
Mellisa opened her mouth, caught her breath, and stared at Leonard. "Master, can your eyes see?"
She looked into his eyes, and an uncontrollable suspicion rose in her heart once again. The light in this corridor was very dark, only the wall lamp in the corner shone.
Not only could this man suddenly appear nearby, he could even pick up a file of paper on the ground.
Melissa narrowed her eyes warily, and her suspicious eyes fell on him.
Was he… not blind at all?!
As soon as doubts arose in her heart, Mellisa looked into Leonard's eyes which instantly became unfocused, only to feel a little silly, not pure at all.
Right now, Leonard was holding the file of documents in his hands, somehow feeling very hot.
Without checking it for a moment, it almost opened.
He bit his lip and handed the document to Mellisa, then forcibly changed the topic of conversation."What is this, read it to me!"
Mellisa glanced at him, and when she took the document, she glanced at the document again. "Young Master, you haven't answered my question."
"I only saw a faint light."
Mellisa listened to his explanation, then lowered her eyelids as if smiling. "Really? Can't you see it now?"
Leonard was silent, he said without answering the question. "What are you going to do tomorrow?"
Mellisa's heart sank and suddenly raised her eyes to look at him.
Did the man overhear the conversation between her and Kevin?!
Seeing Mellisa not speaking, Leonard stepped forward. "Who were you talking to?"
Mellisa was forced to retreat due to the man's pressing figure, and she squeezed the file with her fingertips.
"What are you talking about? Did you misunderstand something?"
"Is that true?" Leonard approached her again. "It's late at night, what did you do when you jumped out the window?"
Mellisa backed away again, but space was limited and her back hit the wall.
Leonard leaned in slightly, his still unfocused eyes fixed on her face. "Are you going to betray me?"
Oh, apparently, he thought she was colluding with an outsider!
With this acknowledgment, Mellisa secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
She leaned against the wall and shook her head earnestly. "Of course not, you think too much."
"Is that true?" Leonard slowly spat out a single word.
Mellisa nodded with a loyal look. "I will never betray you in my entire life."
Upon hearing this, Leonard's lips curved into a faint smile.
He turned and walked towards the other side of the corridor alone.
Mellisa stood behind him, her expression dazed.
Obviously she was asking about his eyes, but Leonard managed to trick her and change the topic in the end?!
In this silent corridor, Leonard managed to win by a narrow margin.
"Why don't you come?" Leonard couldn't help but turn around when he sensed that Mellisa wasn't following him.
Mellisa squeezed the documents in her hands, followed by her dull voice. "Right away, sir."
...
Back in the master bedroom, Mellisa and Leonard lay on the bed and pretended to sleep.
The two of them thought about the scene in an instant, restlessly.
Leonard was annoyed that he almost did bad things on impulse.
As for Mellisa, she was confused whether Leonard's eyes were really blind or that the man was just pretending to be blind.
It made sense that there was no way the man would find out that she sneaked in as a male servant.
So if Leonard pretended to be blind, was it to trick Luke?!
Mellisa couldn't figure this out for a while, she ended up falling into the dream world in a daze.
After she fell asleep, Leonard sat up on his bed, carefully moved to the side, and immediately took out the documents under the pillow.
