Chapter 551: Chapter 493 You Are So Cheeky
Murray pulled Melissa to stand up and cheered her up, saying, "Didn’t you say that you missed grandfather? We can go to the Gibson’s house and visit them. They seem to be on good terms."
Melissa nodded. Enoch and Marc were good friends for decades, so they naturally got along well.
Murray and Melissa got changed and went out. When they arrived at the Gibson’s house, they encountered the maid who was going to water the flowers.
"Where’s my grandfather?" Murray stopped the maid and asked.
The maid greeted Murray and Melissa with a smile and said, "Mr. Marc is playing chess with Mr. Eugen in the study. They will be very happy to see you here."
Murray wore a faint smile. As soon as he and Melissa reached the study, they heard Enoch speak out loud. He sounded happy.
Murray and Melissa looked at each other and smiled. Murray raised his hand and knocked on the door. Not long after, he heard a voice from inside. Only then did he slowly walk in with Melissa’s hand in his.
Murray and Melissa greeted Enoch and Marc at the same time.
Enoch and Marc looked up at them when hearing their voices. In an instant, Enoch and Marc broadened into smiles, "Here you are. We talked about you a few days ago. Why didn’t you call us in advance?"
Melissa replied with delight, "I wanted to give you a surprise." As soon as Melissa saw her grandfather, she felt no longer anxious and upset.
Since Melissa was brought up by her grandfather, they had a profound affection for each other.
When Enoch saw Melissa, he was glad as well. With the wrinkles around his eyes deepened, he looked amiable.
"Meli, you seem to have lost weight since I saw you last time. How is everything?"
As Enoch asked, he cast a glance at Murray. Although he was satisfied with Murray, he felt sad whenever he thought that Melissa was going to marry Murray. After all, he only had one granddaughter.
"Did Murray bully you?"
Murray shook his head and wore a smile. He didn’t say a word. Melissa looked down and found it interesting as well. She said to Enoch, "Grandfather, don’t worry. Murray is good to me."
Marc interrupted, "Take it easy. I know Murray well. He is a good child. If he dares to bully Meli, I will be the first to deal with him."
With a snort, Enoch said on purpose, "I know Murray is a good child, but Meli is my granddaughter. She will marry Murray soon. Isn’t it natural for me to worry about her?"
"Don’t quarrel with each other on such a trifle. I’m happy to be with Murray. He is nice to me. Don’t worry," Melissa hurriedly said.
Something occurred to Marc. He said, "As I didn’t know that you would come back, I didn’t ask the servants to make the food you like."
Marc was about to stand up, but Melissa stopped him. She said, "We haven’t come back to visit you for a long time. You can ask the servants to have a break. How about we cook for you today? I want you to enjoy our food."
Enoch and Marc looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
...
It took Melissa and Murray two hours to cook the meal. They made six dishes and a soup together. Enoch and Marc had come out of the study and sat at the dining table. All of them enjoyed the meal.
Marc said, "Meli, you are good at cooking. I have never eaten such tasty food before." Since Melissa and Murray had returned, Marc seemed to be in a good mood. Enoch stared at Marc proudly. His gaze seemed to say, "Meli is my granddaughter. I take pride in her."
Soon, it was eight o’clock in the evening. Jose appeared when Marc was chatting with Melissa. He walked to Marc and said, "Mr. Gibson and Ms. Eugen are back today. Shall I lead them to the room..."
As soon as Marc Jose’s words, he came up with an idea. He looked at Jose and said, "Except Murray’s bedroom, all the rooms upstairs have been rented out, right?"
Jose was stunned. Only after seeing Marc’s gaze did he understand what Marc wanted to do. He hurriedly said, "That’s right. Didn’t you say that you were bored a few days ago? So, you rented all the bedrooms out. Mr. Gibson’s bedroom is the only empty one now."
Melissa and Murray were shocked at their conversation. What did they mean by renting all the bedrooms out?
Murray knew what Marc meant to do, so he lowered his head and smiled secretly without saying anything.
Marc looked at Jose with admiration. Then, he wore a helpless expression and said, "Alright, go and clean the room up."
After Jose left, Marc said to Melissa, "Meli, I know you and Murray have not married yet. However, as you heard, there is only one empty bedroom today. How about you sleep in the same room with Murray? Anyway, we will be a family soon. You don’t need to feel embarrassed."
Hearing this, Melissa could not help but feel awkward. Murray joined the conversation, "Grandpa, what are you saying?"
Enoch knew what Marc wanted to do as well. He exchanged looks with Marc, who sat on a sofa. Then, they stood up one after another. Enoch said, "I’m old. I’m sleepy. It’s time for us to go to bed. See you tomorrow..."
...
Melissa had no choice but to stay in the same bedroom with Murray. With Murray sleeping next to her, she couldn’t help feeling out of place.
Melissa and Murray were about to get engaged soon. Besides, they were intimate with each other. However, it was the first time that they slept in the same bed. When Murray came out of the bathroom after a shower, he saw Melissa lying stiffly on the bed. She grabbed the quilt tightly, looking nervous.
He could not help but smile. He wondered, how adorable she is!
He pulled back the quilt and lay down. He reached out to touch the woman’s fingers. He could tell that her hand was cold. He asked, "What’s wrong? Why are you so nervous?"
Melissa’s ears turned red. There was some distance between Murray and her, but she could feel the man’s breathing. She even had the illusion that they were close to each other.
Melissa unconsciously swallowed. She stammered, "Nothing. I’m fine."
Murray laughed in a low voice. He threw his arms around Melissa’s waist and turned her to face him without hesitation. He said, "Take it easy. We have slept in the same room before, haven’t we? You don’t have to be afraid."
There was only one night light on in the room. Under the dim yellow light, Murray became ever more handsome. Melissa looked at his face and became shy. "You... Don’t say those words anymore. You are so thick-cheeky. I have never seen you like this when you go to work."
