Unspoken Love

Chapter 22 You Are Not Worthy to Be Luna's Mother, Not to Mention Cindy's G

Brodie went crazy. Of course, it would be better to say that he fell into an unprecedented state of

paranoia and suffered the worst collapse. He worked day and night, as if he devoted all his attention

into his work.

He rarely stopped. Once he stopped, memories would come back to him. Sometimes, they were the

different gifts he had received from Luna when they just fell in love, though the gifts were quite common

among lovers. Sometimes, he recalled the painful struggle and helplessness on Luna's face that he

had neglected since they broke up. Sometimes, he simply thought about the peaceful time with Luna

after she came back.

Steve knew that Brodie managed to escape by work.

It was not until Ariana being sentenced to prison that Brodie was reminded of Jason. "Where's Jason?

Did you find him?"

"No. Since Miss Covey passing away, he has disappeared."

However, Brodie was trying to catch some signs to indicate that Luna was still alive. He stubbornly

said, "Do you believe that Luna is still alive? If not, a gangster like Jason will definitely make a trouble Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

for me."

Steve didn't reply.

Brodie said, "Step up your efforts to find out Jason and Luna."

A madman.

Steve thought, ' Mr. Melton is truly crazy.'

...

To look for Jason was one thing, but how could Brodie find a ghost?

...

Company meeting.

Brodie seemed to be absent-minded.

When the manager of Marketing Department finished his speech, Brodie still frowned, as if he had lost

his soul and did not criticize the report.

It was very rare.

Normally, Brodie would be strict. If anyone made a tiny mistake in the meeting, he would point it out

right away, which would make that person feel desperately ashamed. However, Brodie, who had

always been harsh and demanding, actually was distracted at the meeting.

Steve nudged Brodie.

Brodie then pulled his wandering mind back into the meeting and whispered, "OK. Let's follow your

plan."

As he spoke, he stood up and left.

Everyone looked at each other. It was the first time they had seen Brodie finish the meeting so

carelessly.

After the meeting, Brodie would go to the neighboring city to discuss an important project which was

related to several departments. Before leaving, Steve hesitated for the bad temper shown through the

grey shadow beneath Brodie's eyelids. Eventually, he boldly told Brodie a piece of news.

"Jessica and that child have been brought back. Mr. Melton, are you sure you don't want to see her?"

There was a child.

If the child was really Brodie's, he might cheer up a little.

Actually, Steve reckoned that this child must be Brodie's. If not, Jason would have hidden and raised

her. How could he allow Brodie to bring Jessica and this child back from the other side of the ocean?

Brodie remained silent for a while.

Then he said, "Alright. Take her home."

"Yes, sir. I'll pick her up."

"OK. Tell me when you arrive. I ... will be back then."

"Yes."

He became Brodie's confidant, because he excelled in handling things. When Steve met the child at

the airport, she looked very weak. She held her hand with Jessica timidly, as if she was at a loss in

such a strange world.

Steve saw Jessica and said coldly, "Mr. Melton said, you can do whatever you want. But you are no

longer allowed to act like Cindy's grandmother."
