Leonard scanned it quickly, his handsome face was filled with confusion.
Who gave Mellisa the detailed information about the members of the Adler family?
When he rushed downstairs, he only heard someone else say, "Until tomorrow."
This little lady of his, in the land of the Adler family where tigers and dragons fight, dares to make promises to others and is not afraid to face danger!
He wanted to see who dared to attract the attention of his woman!
Leonard returned the documents, and in the dim light, his eyes fell on Mellisa's peaceful sleeping face.
Her face looks tired… When will he be able to caress that face again?
He held his breath and leaned towards her cheek, and at such close range, he licked the corner of his mouth and pressed his lips uncontrollably to her forehead.
Smells so good!
One time is not enough!
Leonard pursed his lips, put one hand on the side of his pillow, and kissed her a few more times.
When Mellisa frowned and muttered in her dream, Leonard immediately came back to his senses. The man walked slowly back to his big bed like a thief.
He laid on his back, tapped his lower lip with his thumb, and squeezed out the endless remnants of Mellisa's taste.
When he can't sleep at night, it seems there is new entertainment he can do!
...
The next day, after lunch, Leonard asked the butler to move all his tea utensils to the master bedroom with great interest.
At this time, the sun was shining outside the window, and on the balcony outside, Leonard was sitting on a chaise longue. Watching the sky and squinting across from Mellisa, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Mellisa fiddled with her collection of porcelain crockery. After a while, she looked at Leonard. "Master, I don't know how to make tea."
"It's okay, just give it a try, I'll drink it."
Melissa instantly had a sinister look on her face. 'Then why bother picking up the tea utensils if you're so uncritical?!'
Why don't you just make a simple tea with boiling water!
The old butler was standing by the chair, noticing Mellisa's movement of twirling the tea directly with her fingers, then said, "Son, don't use your hands, there are tea tongs."
That's… What a waste of a good black tea! This kid really can't make tea!
The butler was afraid the servant would spoil the tea, and turned to look at Leonard. "Master let me make it."
"No!" Leonard grumbled, his face sullen and very displeased.
Today, he will restrain Mellisa and will not let her out the door of his building!
He will not give her the opportunity to go out and meet someone else.
The old butler is good at observing words, he could catch a glimpse of his young master's impatience. He then looked back at Mellisa's really frivolous tea making process.
He smiled faintly, it seems that this is the young master's taste, hence he needn't bother!
The old butler just turned around and left the balcony without saying a word.
During the day, the sun was still scorching hot, and the hot steam from the teacup quickly evaporated into the air.
A little time passed, Mellisa seemed relaxed and calm as she sat down.
But Leonard felt like a thorn was growing in his heart. Wasn't she planning to leave today?!
As he was silently thinking, the butler outside the door returned. His old face was overjoyed, and he said as he ran, "Young Master, Young Master, Madam is back!"
Leonard turned his head sharply, staring in admiration.
"Master, hurry up! I will help you change your clothes! Madam wants to meet you in the Flower Hall."
Damn, what a coincidence!
'My mom is back today!'
Leonard didn't move for a long time, he then lowered his eyelids to cover the shock in his eyes. "Let this little one come with me."
The butler was surprised, waved his hand quickly, and whispered to persuade. "Young Master, I heard that Miss Lyn is also in the Hall of Flowers. It would be inappropriate to allow this servant to follow you, no? Besides, you know for yourself that the Madam has always been very fond of Miss Lyn. Should any conflict arise, I am afraid…"
At this moment, the butler's reminder was spoken frankly and Mellisa actually heard it.
No wonder Lyn was able to become Leonard's fiancée.
Turns out this family liked her.
Mellisa calmly handed the teacup in her hand to Leonard. "Young Master, please have a taste of it."
Leonard's emotions were affected, and he was thinking about how to decline his mother's invitation.
He looked at Mellisa, then subconsciously stretched out his hand and took the porcelain cup she had handed over.
The butler found nothing unusual, and Leonard saw nothing wrong.
However, the action of her hand grabbing the tea made Mellisa clearly catch his focused and blinking pupils.
Sure enough, this man could see a lot of things.
Mellisa didn't speak, but there was a hint of joy in her eyes. She looked at Leonard who was deep in thought from a distance with a faint sneer on her lips.
What will he do after pretending to be blind for so long?!
"Young Master, don't delay any longer, Madam is still waiting downstairs."
Seeing that Leonard wasn't moving, the butler couldn't help but urge him.
In the Adler family, although everyone regarded the Patriarch as the head, the existence of his wife was also not to be taken lightly.
Right now, Leonard knew he couldn't hide, so he could only look at Mellisa with a serious face. "You stay here and wait for me. You are not allowed to leave until I return."
When he spoke, he forgot to cover his eyebrows and eyes which were filled with impatience and boredom.
Mellisa raised her eyebrows without smiling, and continued to make tea in her hands. "Very well, Young Master."
Leonard got up and went into the bedroom, and the old butler followed him.
Meeting the Patriarch's wife, he couldn't take it lightly. The noble lady had very strict etiquette requirements.
Leonard walked slowly into the changing room, and while choosing clothes, he suddenly remembered something.
Did he forget to pretend to be blind?!
He couldn't help feeling nervous, frowned and walked to the dressing room door while peering through the gap in the door leading to the balcony.
Seeing Mellisa still sitting on the wicker chair quietly, without a suspicious expression, Leonard felt relieved.
"Master, why don't you wear this black suit? This is very nice. Madam will be satisfied if she sees it."
The old butler suggested a handmade suit from the wardrobe.
Leonard didn't even look at it. "Okay, let's do it. I'm going to the Flower Hall. You stay and watch the maid, don't let that little one leave here until I come back."
The butler was confused, but he still answered, "Okay, don't worry, I will stay here!"
...
After Leonard left the villa, Mellisa saw him riding in the caddy from the balcony on the third floor.
No matter how much the Patriarch's wife valued etiquette and communication, just meeting her could make Leonard wear a suit and tie.
Mellisa also noticed that Leonard was wearing sunglasses on his face, and it seemed he was planning to continue pretending to be blind.
She looked in the direction the car had gone, and saw that the time was exactly 2:50.
The agreed time with the Patriarch was three o'clock!
Mellisa didn't hesitate anymore. She put the tea utensil in hand, got up and walked out the door.
Very strange…. In just a few minutes, the butler and bodyguards disappeared along the way.
Kevin said that the Patriarch would arrange everything in advance last night.
Now it seemed that Leonard had been summoned, and the butler and the others should have followed him as well.
Mellisa walked out of the villa, stood in front of the fountain and looked around.. There was a faint feeling in her heart that the entire affairs of the Adler family, both big and small, might be in the control of their master.
