"I will discuss this matter with Jean. He has detailed information about Frans in his hands. Don't worry, just wait and see how it changes. If he approaches you intentionally or unintentionally, remember not to confront him head-on."
Leonard gently caressed Mellisa's back and gently reminded her. If Frans really was that mysterious person, then his goal of saving Mellisa wasn't that simple.
Mellisa was rescued, but she didn't show up for years.
Instead, he actually made Mellisa do a lot of unlawful things.
...
Not long after, the two remained in the living room for a while, and finally, at almost ten o'clock Leonard returned to the master bedroom upstairs with Mellisa.
As soon as the two walked out of the elevator, they smelled the scent of flowers floating in the air.
Mellisa lowered her head and lifted the hem of her skirt. With a flash of light, she saw a path of roses extending from the elevator entrance to the master bedroom's door.
Who made it?!
Leonard also saw a corridor filled with rose petals. The corners of his eyes twitched and he walked past them with Mellisa.
"Did you prepare it?" Mellisa looked surprised as they walked, and when they stepped on the petals, the scent around them became stronger.
Leonard didn't answer directly, but raised his eyebrows with an evil smile. "Do you like it?"
Mellisa cleared her throat, and the words 'too much' floated around her mouth. But she hesitated for a few seconds and she swallowed it back. She then said with a smile. "Well, that's good."
"Glad to hear that!"
Leonard's heart relaxed greatly, and he didn't have to think about knowing that the old butler must have done it.
He wondered, should he give him a bonus?!
When the door to the master bedroom opened, red flower petals were seen everywhere in the bedroom, not to mention the smell of the strong aromatherapy.
There were also several lit candles which were placed on the table separately. In a dimly lit room, everything fits perfectly, romantic and warm.
Leonard sniffed, and while the smell of aromatherapy made him feel good, there was another evil fire roaming around.
He suspected that there was a problem with this smell!
However, Leonard held Mellisa to the door without showing his sensuality, then closed and locked the door with ease.
As soon as he turned around, he saw that Mellisa had slipped from his arms and was walking towards the big bed.
"This..." Melissa stood at the end of the bed, staring at the rose petals arranged in a heart shape on the bed sheet, her eyes as bright as stars.
Today wasn't supposed to be a memorable day.
But for Mellisa, everything that was meticulously arranged in this bedroom made her eyes wet in complicated ways.
Always cold and strong, she never felt that she would have a soft-hearted moment like this.
No matter who arranged this, in her opinion, wanted all the best for her and Leonard.
With flower petals everywhere and a romantic mood filling the air, she stood in front of the bed, looking back at Leonard.
As far as she could see, it was the man who made her heart melt for a long time.
She bent down and twisted the flower petals off the bed, and placed them carefully on the tip of her nose and kissed them.
Perhaps, no matter how cold and strong a woman was, in such a romantic and beautiful environment, she would still crumble.
Leonard swallowed his throat from time to time, and he couldn't help but walk behind Mellisa to surround her.
His cheek pressed against her ear, his breath hot and his voice hoarse. "I heard people can still do it even when the woman is pregnant..."
He didn't say it outright.
But Melissa knew it right away.
She didn't refuse, twisting the petals in her palms, then tilting her head slightly, smiling at him.
Melissa's actions undoubtedly gave Leonard great courage.
Unlike his usual making out, Leonard can finally be satisfied tonight!
...
The next day, at seven o'clock in the morning.
Mellisa is still asleep, while Leonard is up and out with great energy.
In the living room downstairs, the maids are busy performing their duties.
The head butler standing in the entrance hall of the kitchen turned and saw a figure out of the elevator.
He smiled back and looked around Leonard's body, eyes, and then… at the red mark on his neck. "Sir, isn't it better for you to rest?"
Leonard raised his eyebrows. He pretended to nod. "Well, no worries."
"That's good, that's good!" The butler said while peeking behind him. "Where is young miss? She's not with you?"
Young miss!
This call sounds very comfortable! The smile in Leonard's eyes deepened, and he coughed softly. "She's still resting, don't bother to wake her up!"
After saying that, he paced to get out, but after only two steps, he remembered something else. "By the way, after he wakes up, get someone to change the sheets. From now on… Don't sprinkle flower petals on the bed!"
The butler was confused, and was about to ask, but realized that Leonard had drifted away.
Putting flower petals down is such a romantic thing, why is there no need to do it again?
Could it be... There was a disharmony last night?!
The butler was still wondering in his heart, but he was still following the instructions.
How could he know that the flower petals that were originally used to spark the romantic atmosphere last night, ended up sticking all over Leonard and Mellisa's bodies? This young master must feel very uncomfortable!
....
Less than half past eight, Leonard arrived at the gates of the Royal Garden.
He got out of the car and looked up and saw Jean standing by the door smoking.
Leonard walked slowly towards the man, took a cigarette case, and after lighting one, he narrowed his eyes and said, "I sent you a message, I'm not disturbing Lilia, am I?"
Exhaling smoke, Jean noticed the red marks on Leonard's neck. "Why are you looking for me so early?"
"It's about Frans, I want to talk to you about him!"
Leonard's eyes immediately darkened, filled with traces of anger.
Jean frowned. "What's wrong with him?"
Leonard remained silent for a few seconds after hearing the voice, and then honestly told the truth about the fact that Frans purposely approached Melisa last night, and wanted to befriend her.
After a brief explanation, Jean's cold eyes met Leonard's. "Do you suspect that he saved Mellisa five years ago?"
"It's just a suspicion and Mellisa has no evidence. But this Frans Ruihan suddenly approached Melisa, so this is too strange."
Jean looked at the cigarette in his hand and slowly exhaled the smoke. "I will send a copy of the information soon. According to information, this person was already in the jade industry five years ago. If he did, it wouldn't be impossible. Maybe he had started to gradually shift his business focus to Indonesia in those five years."
Leonard's expression was dark and cold, he remembered the figure of Frans he saw last night in his mind.
By having a face-to-face meeting, he could clearly feel that the man wasn't that kind.
He thought with a serious expression and said, "If he really saved Mellisa, maybe... he knew Mellisa's identity from the start."
If it wasn't for this, that man wouldn't be able to do it for free.
Frans Ruihan didn't look like someone who'd do good without asking something in return.
