Chapter 453: Chapter 395 The Proposal in the Home Office
"Murray, Murray! What are you doing? Let go of me!"
The two pulled and struggled. Melissa was pulled out of the ward by Murray. When she came to the corridor, she pulled back her wrist with all her might, wanting to stop Murray.
Murray suddenly stopped and turned around, staring at Melissa. Melissa took the opportunity to withdraw her hand and held her wrist with her other hand.
"Don’t be jealous..."
"You are my girlfriend."
Murray was very unhappy now. He didn’t understand why Jaylin was always pestering Melissa. After all, he was still Melissa’s friend.
Although the two of them were no longer engaged, sooner or later, Melissa would be his!
He wrapped his arm around Melissa’s waist and forcefully pulled her towards him.
The intense kiss came. Melissa felt dizzy. She tiptoed slightly and couldn’t help but hug Murray’s neck.
This kiss from Murray was filled with desire, longing, and possession.
There were not many people passing by the hospital corridor. Occasionally, there were children looking around curiously, but the adults with them covered their eyes and took them away in a hurry.
After a long time, Murray finally released Melissa, and his palm slowly moved away from her back.
He whispered into Melissa’s ear, "It’s impossible not to be jealous."
This was his real feeling about Melissa.
The blush on Melissa’s cheeks had not disappeared. Even her ears were red. When she heard Murray say this, she felt a warmth in her heart. Although this man was a little childish in front of her sometimes, it was all because he loved her.
"Alright, I know what you are worried about."
Melissa calmed herself down and helped Murray straighten the hem of his clothes, and patiently explained to him.
"I’ve been taking care of Jaylin in the hospital all this time only because he saved me. As for what I just said ... you know, he just woke up. At least wait for him to recover. I’ll make it clear to him slowly. Don’t be jealous."
"But he clearly knows the relationship between us." Just as Melissa finished speaking, Murray spoke to her.
Even if Melissa repeatedly explained to him that there would not be anything going on with Jaylin, and even if he knew what kind of person Melissa was.
However, steadfast as Melissa was, she could vacillate after getting along with Jaylin for a long time.
He didn’t like Jaylin, who had always been close to Melissa and expressed his love to her.
Melissa couldn’t help but shake her head when she saw the serious look on Murray’s face. There was a helpless smile on her face.
It was better not to say anything about Jaylin.
"After you told Ryleigh about the proposal, did she do anything unusual recently?"
Murray thought carefully and his expression became more serious.
"She hasn’t done anything special recently. She’s still the same as before, always wanting to enter the home office and me to be with her."
Murray’s words were pointing at something. Melissa felt a little irritated when she heard it, but she knew that there was nothing more important than letting Ryleigh reveal her true identity.
She turned her head and said to Murray seriously, "It seems that she has already started to take action... You may have to suffer a little more in the coming days trying to satisfy her request. This way, Ryleigh will take the bait faster and reveal more clues."
"Meli!" Murray tsked, his brows slightly furrowed as he stared at Melissa in confusion.
He raised his arm slightly and curled his index finger as if he wanted to knock her on the head. However, after a pause, he put down his hand and nodded. "Don’t worry, I know what to do. However, you have to keep a certain distance from Jaylin."
"I understand."
In the Moonlight Mansion.
Sebastian called again, "Ryleigh, how many days has it been? When will you get the proposal for North Bay?"
Whenever Ryleigh received a call from Sebastian, she would feel fear from the bottom of her heart, but she could not resist.
Just like now, she could only promise in a low voice, "I’m already trying to get information from Murray. Sebastian, wait a little longer. Give me two more days and I’ll definitely get it."
"Two days! Another two days!"
Sebastian’s voice sounded impatient on the other end of the line.
The man sat in his office chair, tugging at his tie in frustration, his eyes full of boredom and contempt.
"How much time have I given you? I must see the proposal this weekend, or you will know what will happen!
Beep, beep...
Ryleigh put down her phone dejectedly. She was getting more and more nervous as she knew what Sebastian would do.
Originally, she wanted to gain Murray’s trust bit by bit, and then successfully marry into the Gibson family. Then she could use marriage as a bargaining chip against Sebastian.
But now it seemed that this was a big problem.
Now, she couldn’t wait!
Murray was not home, and the home office was usually not locked. If the proposal was placed in the home office, then now was a great opportunity.
Ryleigh made up her mind. She quietly came out of the room and turned to the door of the home office. She gently turned the doorknob.
Not locked.
She walked into the home office and saw that there were a few documents on the second layer of the bookshelf. She simply took all of them down and began to flip through in a flurry, but she found nothing.
She didn’t have much time left. Murray said he would come back for lunch today...
Ryleigh suddenly thought of this, and so she moved even faster while frowning. She ran to the drawer behind the desk and finally found a sealed document sheet at the bottom of the third drawer. There was only a thin piece of paper inside.
North Bay Amusement Park Proposal.
It was the proposal!
Happiness lit up her face, and she quickly took out her phone and snapped a picture of the document.
When she was about to send it to Sebastian, her hand stopped. It had been a long time and she still hadn’t pressed the "send" button.
Now Sebastian needed this proposal so much, so no matter how anxious he was, he might not do anything to her in a short period of time. If she sent it like this, wouldn’t she lose a favorable chip?
Ryleigh hesitated. She pursed her lips and put her phone against her chest. She decided to give up the idea temporarily.
However, not long after, the sound of the key turning the keyhole came from the door.
Ryleigh was shocked. She quickly put the document back into the bag and back where it had been. The moment the drawer was closed, Murray opened the door and came in.
The two of them stared at each other.
Murray frowned slightly and asked, "Ryleigh, what are you doing in the home office?"
"Ah..." Ryleigh quickly adjusted her mood and revealed a smile, hiding her panic. "The nurse did not come today, and I was too bored at home, so I wanted to clean up the room. I just finished cleaning the table. Ray, if you don’t want me to be here, I will go out immediately."
