His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 173: What's So Great About Having a Girlfriend? 

The question was directed to Seth.

Hearing her question, Seth looked back at Melody.He asked in a low voice, "You're full?"

Melody simply nodded as a response.

In her mind, she was already thinking that if Seth had something to do and wanted to stay, she would leave first.

However, the moment Seth saw her nod, he instantly stood up.

This simple gesture meant that he agreed.

Seth picked up Melody’s coat for her.He had always been someone who was being waited on by others.

So, when everyone present saw Seth's out-of-character actions, they were almost blinded.

Seeing that the pair was about to leave, Iven was frantic.

After resting for many days, lven finally figured it out.He decided to indulge himself and set up this huge party to have some fun.

However, the meal was only half-eaten but the bosses were already leaving.

"Seth, Melody, why don't the two of you hang out with us some more?"

They halted upon hearing Iven's words.

Melody merely looked at Seth, her eyes saying, ‘You can stay if you want"

Seth turned around and lightly glanced at Iven.His gaze was ice-cold but his voice was soft and gentle.

"She needs to wake up early tomorrow!" Goosebumps spread throughout Iven's body.

‘He's bragging.He's bragging, right? He is definitely bragging! To top that, Seth's gaze really felt like it was saying, ‘A bachelor like you will never understand"

‘Is it really great to have a girlfriend?’

‘What's so great about knowing what your girlfriend is thinking?’

‘Is it so great that you can understand what your girlfriend wants and needs?’

‘Alright, it's amazing if that's what you want to think!’

It was bullying using public display of affection.

lven watched the back of the couple with an aggrieved expression.He looked like an abandoned puppy.

If it wasn't for his image, it wasn't too impossible that he would pout and sob.He felt like he had been forcefully fed with candies.

So many candies, his teeth ached.

The food on the table didn’t even seem tasty anymore.

Axel put his elbow on the table, propping his chin.

He thoughtfully said, "Iven, how do you think did Seth become a lovestruck boyfriend who practices hoes before bros? I never imagined even in my wildest dreams that this would happen."

Iven looked at Axel contemptuously and sneered, "It would be weirder if you actually understood something."

For some reason, Axel felt that it was a personal attack.

Did Iven just mock him? He was unhappy.

"Hey, Iven, what the hell do you mean? Don't think I'll give in to you just because we haven't seen each other for a few years.How is it weird if I understood? I have a point, you know! Do you even think that Seth is acting normal?" Iven harrumphed.

He took a big gulp of wine, mourning for his lost youth.

Many days had passed but he still couldn't let go.He scolded Axel to vent his anger.

"If I also had a girlfriend like Melody, I would change greatly." Iven thought that Axel just couldn't understand.

If he met someone who could bring him joy, he would do anything for it! For example, he kept his virginity for many years for whoever was lucky to end up with him.

But it was gone! Just like that! It made his heart hurt a lot.He was heartbroken! Eventually, everyone present noticed that Iven drank wine, cup after cup.

They felt like something was wrong with their eyes.

Seth brought his girlfriend here, supplying endless public displays of affection.

After they left, lven became like this.

The rumors...

Were they true? Was it true? lven had been secretly in love with Seth for a long time.

Was it true that he always acted like a playboy to hide his taboo affection for Seth? How exciting! What kind of great secret did they uncover? Iven had no idea about the new image engraved in everybody's heart.

He was still busy mourning for his lost youth.

Until now, he was still mournfully drinking wine! Inside the car...

Melody was leaning against the window when she felt a slight vibration.

The sound was very soft but it was clearly heard in the quiet car.It was from Austin's phone.

He immediately dealt with it.

It seemed like he had received something important.

After confirming the information he had received, he turned his head and looked at Seth.

There was no change in Seth's impression, indicating that it was fine for Melody to hear it.

He directly explained the situation.

"Sir, we found a way to contact S.We already offered one million but the other party still won't accept it."

There was finally a crack in Seth's expression.

However, it quickly turned back to normal.

He simply said, "Double it!"

If one million wasn’t enough, then two million.

And if that still wasn't enough, then ten million.It wasn't that hard.

If he wanted something, he would get it.

Melody wasn't curious, to begin with.

She just kept eating the lollipop that Seth forcefully stuffed into her mouth.

but when she heard their conversation, she almost choked with her own saliva.

That did not escape Seth's eyes.He immediately poured her a cup of warm water.

"Are you alright?"

His gentle voice sounded.

Melody did not even dare to look at him due to embarrassment.She waved her hand and replied in a low voice, "I'm fine!"

Seth took the lollipop back and threw it in the trash.

"Eat this instead."

Melody was always low on sugar so whenever she was with Seth, he would make her eat some candy.

She hated sweets but the sweetness of the candy Seth gave her was within her tolerance range. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

More importantly, she felt comfortable after eating it.

That was why she never refused whatever Seth gave her.

Every time Seth handed something to her to eat, she would eat it without hesitation.

Looking at Seth's reaction, she could see that Seth probably misunderstood her, thinking that she choked on her candy.

How was it even possible to choke on candy? She was just scared, alright? So it turned out that the idiot who wanted to pay her ten million to have her break her own firewall was none other than the man beside her? In the hacker world, she used the alliance S.

She received a message yesterday from a broker she previously worked with, one of the few people who could find her.

The broker told her that someone had offered her ten million to join a team to break through a firewall.

There was a link in that message.

With just a glance, she knew that it was the ID of her base.

At that time, she couldn't help but curse.

Someone found her and wanted to pay her to break the firewall of her own base.

Were they idiots? Who could have known that the idiot she was scolding that night was none other than the person who was sitting next to her right now? Melody really wanted to ask Seth, ‘What's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly want to attack my base's firewall?"

However, knowing Seth’s intelligence, she did not dare ask lest he uncovered everything right away.

Since that was the case, then never mind.

It was too early for her to expose her identity.

Since Seth wanted to investigate, he could do whatever he wanted.She wouldn't stop him.

If he really discovered the truth, then it would prove his ability.

In the Sullivan family mansion...

The moment Charles went home, the first thing he did was to look for Elizabeth.

"Mom, did you know I almost died? Luckily I could still come to see you.

Melody that jinx, wanted to kill me.

If I didn’t beg her in front of everyone, she wouldn't have let me go! You almost lost a son!"

Hearing her son's cries, Elizabeth's eyes reddened from heartache.

Normally, even when her son complained, at least he would be uninjured.

But this time, he was beaten to the point that he wouldn't even dare to sit down.

Charles was her lucky charm, her precious son, the baby she gave birth to.

How could she not feel heartache? Elizabeth had lost all her patience.

Her elegance crumbled, replaced by a shrewish aura as she angrily complained to Quince.

"Don't you see it? Our son was almost beaten to death thanks to that jinx! Are you still gonna keep enduring?"

Despite that, Quince had no change in expression.Elizabeth exploded on the spot.

"Quince, many people respect you in the business circle.All of them said that you're a fierce tiger, but I can see now that they were all wrong! I never expected that even cats are fiercer than you! You don't even dare to lecture a little girl?"

In Elizabeth’s mind, Melody was not even her daughter.She was just a stranger, even an enemy.

Melody was just a jinx.

The jinx that existed to harm her.

The enemy that she had to eradicate before she could live happily ever after.
