Chapter 441: Chapter 383 He Is a Good Actor
Seeing Melissa’s surprised look, Murray smiled. He found her very cute.
Murray held Melissa’s hand, took a step forward, and wrapped his arms around Melissa’s waist. "I missed you so much, so I squeezed time to come here."
Murray’s words sounded aggrieved, but he only did this in front of Melissa.
Melissa laughed. She pulled her hand out of Murray’s and said softly, "Can’t you come over earlier? It’s already midnight. You should be in Moonlight Mansion now."
Hearing Melissa’s words, Murray had a headache.
He was busy with company affairs and the North Bay Amusement Park. After going back from work, Murray had to deal with Ryleigh. Ryleigh made Murray exhausted.
Murray did this only to find out who was behind Ryleigh.
"Are you being jealous?"
Seeing Melissa’s expression, Murray thought about something and laughed again. He whispered in Melissa’s ear slowly in a husky voice.
"Don’t mention Ryleigh at this time. I miss you every day and I only want to be with you..."
Murray walked to Melissa and wrapped his arms around her waist. Murray rested his chin on Melissa’s shoulder and kissed her ears.
Melissa turned around in Murray’s arms to face him. She cupped Murray’s face with both hands and put on a gentle smile.
"Well, I know you miss me very much, and so do I... I’m glad you came today, but we have to take care of the most important thing first. Hold on a little bit."
Melissa blinked at Murray cutely and then tiptoed to kiss Murray on the forehead. "Be happier.
"By the way, it’s been a while since Ryleigh moved to Moonlight Mansion. Is there anything wrong with her?"
Murray sighed. He and Melissa walked to the sofa and sat down. Murray thought about Ryleigh’s movements and said to Melissa, "In the past few days, Ryleigh has been pestering me. Sometimes, she would come to my home office with snacks and soup... She even asked me this evening if there are any major projects since I’ve been so busy recently. I guess she will make a move."
If Ryleigh was Lily, she would never do such a thing.
Ryleigh must have approached Murray for some reason.
Melissa pondered for a moment with her hand supporting her chin, and she thought of a good idea.
However, Murray had to suffer a little.
Melissa looked at Murray with hesitation. After a while, she said, "Since someone asked her to get close to you, we should take advantage of this opportunity. Why don’t you reveal the plan of the amusement park to her and see what she will do then?"
Murray nodded subconsciously, but soon he realized that something was wrong. Did Melissa ask him to approach Ryleigh?
Murray pursed his lips and looked at Melissa. He joked, "You want me to stay with Ryleigh for a few more days. Aren’t you jealous?"
Melissa was stunned by his question. She smiled, but she avoided Murray’s gaze and sat up straight with her fingers crossed.
Of course, Melissa felt a bit jealous. However, she was a rational person. She knew they had to solve Ryleigh’s problem first.
So Melissa was willing to endure it.
But Murray did not think so.
Murray was not happy about Melissa’s reaction. Although he joked about it, he was very unhappy.
"Do you want me to be with Ryleigh?"
Melissa was stunned.
She turned her head and looked at Murray in surprise. Before she could say anything with a smile, Murray gently pinched her cheek.
Murray got very close to Melissa.
He asked, "Did you spend a bunch of time with Jaylin when I wasn’t around? Do you guys chat often?"
A man in love was always childish.
Only now did Melissa truly understand that the childish love stories on the Internet were not groundless.
Melissa looked at Murray and couldn’t think of anything to say. She just sat a little further away from him. Melissa gently picked up the cup in front of her and took a sip.
...
The news was going viral on the Internet, but Harley’s team was trying their best to suppress this affair.
Nina was not an entertainer. But in Melissa’s company, the private life of a normal person and an entertainer were equally important.
Murray was busy with North Bay Amusement Park. The video of the press conference had been released online. Murray felt unhappy about Melissa’s reaction, but he knew what he should do.
"Murray, you’re back!"
Murray returned to Moonlight Mansion after work. Ryleigh went up to him as usual.
"Yes."
Murray smiled slightly. He was quite a good actor. He only showed his true feelings in front of Melissa.
Murray stroked Ryleigh’s face gently. "Sorry I came back a little late today. Did the nurse take good care of you?"
"When you were not around, I took the medicine on time. The nurse also said that I had recovered very quickly."
Murray and Ryleigh chatted for a while. During the meal, Ryleigh did not eat much. Instead, she stared at Murray quietly.
Murray was a little puzzled. He asked, "What’s the matter?"
"Murray, you’ve lost weight recently... Are you busy with work? Maybe I can bring some tonics to your company tomorrow."
This was Ryleigh’s real purpose.
Murray paused for a moment with the spoon in his hand, then he shook his head and pretended to be relaxed. "No. We have just bought the land in North Bay. We plan to build an amusement park there. Now, we are finalizing the details of the proposal and investigating the surrounding environment of the park.
"After this proposal is settled, I will have more time to be with you. But in the next few days, I have to deal with the proposal first, so I will spend most of the time in my home office."
