Mellisa looked at the gift box in Kevin's hand, her eyes flashed and she raised her hand to lift the corner of the lid. Soon enough, she saw a high-grade silver-gray dress inside. "This is…"
Seeing Mellisa being taken aback, the man couldn't help but explain. "It was the Patriarch's arrangement, so he must have had an intention."
"Leonard and I are going together?" Mellisa asked suspiciously.
Hearing this, Kevin shook his head weakly. "The car will pick up the young master first, then I will send you myself."
At this point, Mellisa cradled the box in her arms. She saw Kevin turn and was about to leave, then called out to him again. "Wait."
Kevin turned his head. "What's wrong?"
Mellisa brought the gift box forward, thought for a moment, and asked, "Leonard went to see the Patriarch this morning, did the two of them have a fight?"
Looking at Leonard's strange behavior today, Mellisa could only speculate on this conclusion.
Kevin pursed the corners of his lips, his expression remained calm. "No, why are you asking this?"
"They didn't fight?" Melissa raised her eyebrows in surprise, and her heart grew even more troubled.
If Leonard's avoidance wasn't caused by his father, could it be because of herself?!
Kevin saw Mellisa's slightly worried face, and he answered frankly without hesitation, "Their talk went well. Anything else?"
Mellisa looked at Kevin's expression hotly, and she could almost confirm it. This man wasn't lying.
Seeing this, she gently shook her head. "No thanks."
Kevin nodded slightly at her, and then disappeared.
Mellisa carried the gift box back into the master bedroom, sat down by the bed, and slowly opened the lid.
The fox mask used for the costume party was placed on the clothes, and a gold invitation letter was also placed next to it.
Mellisa reached the tip of his finger and rubbed a line on it, and could not help but begin to figure out what the Patriarch really wanted.
The Blain Family Kevin talked about must be the family where Lawerence came.? This shows that they both always have a friendship.
But what did the Patriarch say to Leonard today that made him willingly leave his room and appear in the public again?!
Melissa stared at the gift box and couldn't stop sighing, this feeling of losing control was terrible!
...
At 3:30 pm , Mellisa sat on the balcony, dimly looking at the scenery in the distance, wandering in the mind.
Not long after, there was the sound of footsteps downstairs. She leaned forward and saw Leonard walking out of the hall dressed in a specially made black suit.
From Mellisa's point of view, the suit perfectly accentuated his slender figure, and the straight trousers flowed in smooth lines as he walked.
He is cool and handsome, Mellisa has always been fascinated by him.
At this time, Leonard walked to the front door, stood by the car and stopped slowly.
When he leaned into the car, he rolled his eyes slightly, and his gaze fell onto the balcony on the third floor by accident.
Mellisa looked him in the eye, messed up her rhythm, and stared across the marble railing of the balcony.
Leonard was really handsome today, with his short hair waxed, and a few strands of broken hair on his forehead made his facial lines look even more elegant and majestic.
Leonard looked at Mellisa, then looked away a few seconds later. After sitting in the car for a while, he put on his sunglasses.
The car sped away under the dim sky, until its body was hidden in the shadow of a tree.
Mellisa lowered her eyes expressionlessly, feeling a little empty in her heart.
At this time, the cell phone on the table suddenly vibrated as a text message arrived.
Mellisa unlocked the screen in a daze, and when she looked down and saw the contents, her heartbeat was completely interrupted.
The message was from Leonard, and even though it was only a few words, it made his heart throb.
'Wait for me quietly, all I do is for you.'
In an instant, Mellisa raised her eyes and looked at the car, her eyes were flickering, and it was hard to calm herself as she bit her mouth.
She really knows her identity!
Mellisa held the phone and looked at the simple message. The corners of his mouth slowly rose, revealing a relieved smile.
He probably wasn't waiting for her to come back!
Leonard, we'll meet at the Blains' banquet.
Without further delay, Mellisa returned to the room with her cell phone, she walked into the changing room with the gift box in her hand, and immediately changed her clothes.
Twenty minutes later, Kevin arrived outside the courtyard.
He didn't drive the caddy used in the castle, but instead drove a white Rolls Royce Cullinan.
When Mellisa got off the elevator, she didn't see anyone on the street.
Outside the yard, Kevin was standing by the car and had the back seat door open for her.
The sky was a dim yellow, and Mellisa walked step by step. Kevin's eyes fell on her, and there was a touch of subtle surprise at the bottom of his eyes.
After Mellisa got into the car, Kevin personally drove the flashy white Cullinan out of the Adlers' house.
"Is the Blains' house far from here?"
Mellisa asked nonchalantly while looking at the scenery along the highway.
Kevin looked at her in the rearview mirror. "Not far away. The Blain family's residence is located quite close to ours. It can be reached in half an hour by car!"
After the words came out, he paused and added, "Just before leaving, the Patriarch left a message for you. The guests attending tonight's party are all young people from all major families. The identity written on your invitation is the niece of the Adler family, and he hopes that you can clarify the relationship between the younger generations at the party tonight."
Hearing this, Mellisa nodded.
With an arrangement like this, it was clear that her disguise as a niece made sense.
"I'll pay attention to it."
Hearing the answer, Kevin pulled his eyes out of the rearview mirror and continued to focus on driving.
...
—At the Blains' residence.
Outside the gate, Kevin slowly parked the car. Darkness began to envelop, thin clouds and fog also began to overshadow the sky. Kevin immediately got out of the car and opened the door for Mellisa, then whispered to her, "Put on your mask."
Mellisa nodded, putting on the fox mask unhurriedly.
Kevin then took the diamond handbag and handed it to Melisa, after which she walked in front to lead.
Tonight, Melissa wore a very beautiful evening dress. This high-grade silver gray top was prepared by Leonhart.
This evening gown reached her ankle, and had a slit on the left side.
At first, Mellisa was worried that her pregnant belly would protrude, but the design of this dress is still safe, she guessed.
The position of the left side, the waist has been extended to the right thigh. The top and bottom three layers of decorative laminated seams are curved. The lines are originally fluffy, which happens to tightly block the convex curves of her lower abdomen.
In fact, when Mellisa wore this dress, she wondered if The Patriarch had overseen something before.
Otherwise, how could he prepare this ball gown so perfectly?
Mellisa leaned in holding her skirt, the design perfectly showed the line of her shoulders and collarbones.
