Darrin said, “Ms. Robertson, Roderick is not a good person.”
Darrin’s sharp eyes flashed with determination.
Darrin added, “I don’t want to see you trapped here. After Steve is handled, you can go back to the island and live a quiet life like you used to!”
Hearing this, Melanie stared at Darrin.
She said, “What are you suggesting? What does he have to do with my life?” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Darrin said in a deep voice, “Ms. Robertson.
“I have solid reason to suspect that what happened seven years ago was planned by
him.
“He and Steve are birds of a feather. Now they must have hidden intentions to approach you. Ms. Robertson, you have to be careful with them!”
Melanie frowned, “I’m getting more and more confused!”
Melanie said, “I’m sure he had nothing to do with what happened seven years ago because he was also set up! As for everything else, I can handle it myself! Don’t worry!”
Darrin said, “Ms. Robertson, I still hope you can return to the island as soon as possible!”
Darrin was excited, looking reluctant to give up!
Melanie asked, “Darrin, do you want to kill Steve because I can go back to the island after that? Even if he deserves to die, what about the truth of my mother’s death?
“Thank you for taking me to the island seven years ago. I have always regarded you as my best friend. Don’t mention murder so casually in the future.”
Melanie added, “My grandfather was a philanthropist, and never a single brutal idea like this had occurred to him. No one in the Thomas family can be involved in such a brutal thing!”
Darrin roared in a deep voice, “Ms. Robertson!”
Melanie said, “If Steve is really the murderer of my mother, I will definitely let him kill for his life!”
Darrin screamed again, “Ms. Robertson!” His fierce look showed his relu and
pain.
“Darrin, go downstairs. It’s so late!” Melanie said. She lowered her head and clenched the notebook.
Melanie added, “Go get some rest! Leave me alone.”
Darrin said reluctantly, “Ms. Robertson!”
Melanie said, “Leave now.”
She waved her hand repeatedly and leaned back on the chair, feeling exhausted.
The white light in the study shone on her face and a drop of tear at the corner of her eye. The drop of tear reflected the light like a crystal.
Not far from Melanie was a photo of a young woman.
In the photo, the young woman was holding a cute little girl in her arms.
The young woman was smiling and looked gentle and wise. When Melanie saw the photo, she felt sorrowful.
Melanie said, “Mom, I never believed that you died of illness. I will find out the truth and justice must be done!”
She stared at the young woman in the photo, lost in thought.
Apparently, she had forgotten that it was midnight. She just sat still with a sad face. in her study, still dressed in formal clothes.
At three o’clock in the morning, the clock chimed. Melanie woke up.
Melanie looked around blankly and then remembered why she was in the study.
She carefully put away the notebook given to her by Darrin and left the study.
When Melanie passed by the hall, she remembered that Roderick had been sitting
on the sofa in the living room like he was doing a vigil.
Melanie wanted to find out if he had gone to sleep.
When Melanie had just passed the hallway, she saw that Roderick was no longer on the sofa.
Melanie breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought, ‘Fortunately, Roderick listened to me and went to bed.
‘Otherwise, if someone keeps sitting next to her bedroom, I think it will be difficult for me to fall asleep.
When Melanie was about to turn off the light and go back to her room to sleep, she suddenly saw a head tilted to the side on the sofa.
Melanie took a closer look.
Sure enough, it was Roderick’s head.
Melanie thought, “Why is this guy sleeping on the sofa? Don’t we have a decent. guest room here for him to sleep?
‘It is obvious that he is accusing me of being a bad host!”
Thinking about this, Melanie walked to the sofa.
Roderick was sleeping soundly on the sofa.
However, Melanie immediately blushed when she saw his pretty face.
Roderick had taken off his jacket and unfastened the top three buttons of his shirt, revealing a large part of his muscular chest.
Listening to Roderick inhaling and exhaling steadily and seeing his chest
fluctuating, Melanie felt her heart pounding.
Melanie looked at Roderick and couldn’t help but murmur, “He must have a very strong heart!”
Melanie didn’t realize that she was talking aloud until she finished her words. She looked around in a hurry and thought she was lucky that there was no one else!
Seeing that Roderick was still sleeping soundly and motionlessly, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Melanie thought, ‘What am I doing?
‘How could I suddenly say such strange things?
“Why did I sound like the kind of evil spirit that seduces men and gouges out their hearts?
‘No, I’m not like that!”
Melanie shook her head, laughing in her heart at her own foolishness.
Suddenly, Roderick, who was asleep, made a muffled sound and rolled over.
Melanie was scared to death by his sudden move.
She was really worried that Roderick would suddenly wake up and find out that she was standing right beside him and staring at him blankly.
If that happened, Melanie didn’t know how she could explain it. Who knew how Roderick would talk about it?
Fortunately, Roderick was still sleeping. He just rolled over without even opening his eyes.
As soon as Melanie calmed down, Roderick moved again.
Melanie thought, ‘Hey! Hold on! Are you that hot?
‘How can you unfasten all the buttons on your shirt?”
Roderick’s whole chest was revealed in front of Melanie.
Two bulging chest muscles and abdominal muscles were all revealed in front of Melanie!
Melanie hissed.
Melanie’s face, which had just cooled down, became burning hot again.
Melanie wondered what kind of exercise Roderick did every day. His muscles were still tensed though he was lying flatly!
From his chest muscles and his eight–pack abs to his lower part.
As Melanie looked down, she stopped herself in time. “Stop! You can’t look anywhere lower than that!”
