Stop, Your Grace!

“I’m sorry.” The man who was hit apologized first.

Melody did not look at him. She crouched down to pick up the documents one by one. Suddenly she raised her eyes, she saw that deep eyes by surprise.

“It’s you!”

“It’s you!”

Both of them spoke at the same time.

John?

Why was he here?

Melody returned to absolute being and picked up the last piece of document in panic. “Sorry, excuse me.”

“Wait…” John stopped her.

Melody’s heart tightened and he looked at him with no expression. He asked doubtfully, “What’s the matter?”

“Melody?” John called out her name.

Melody suddenly stiffened, her face suddenly went pale and she was at a loss.

“Judging from your reaction, I was right.” John smiled gently and said confidently.

Melody was holding the documents and her palms were sweating. “You are mistaken.” Then she wanted to leave.

John persistently stopped her in front of her and refused to let her go.

“What do you want to do?” Frowned, Melody slightly dissatisfied.

He swept her eyes back and forth and smiled politely. The gentleman said, “I have no malice. I just want to ask, why did you cheat me?”

No malice?

But how could this question be so aggressive?

“I don’t understand what you are saying.” Melody’s eyes dodged. “Sorry, I don’t know you well. Do you have anything else?”

Her cold attitude, everyone could understand her thoughts.

But it happened that John refused to budge, with his hands around his chest and a meaningful smile, saying, “I am your fiance, and you don’t know me well?”

This time, Melody was completely speechless.

He knew it!

Obviously he knew it!

“Anthony and Sandy joined forces to deceive our family and pretend that Sandy was you, so as to change the identity.” John walked around her for a while. Finally, he leaned against her ear and breathed out and asked, “Was this your idea?”

“No!” Melody immediately dodged and separated himself.

“Don’t be nervous, I’m not here to criticize.” he smiled amicably, “Find a place and let’s have a good talk!”

…

Cafe.

Melody ordered a cup of black coffee, propped up her chin with one hand, and looked out of the window with vacillating eyes.

“Well, this is a cake.” John came from a distance, handed her a small cake and sat opposite her.

Looking back, Melody hooked her lips slightly. “Thank you.”

“when I was at school before, I often came to this cafe to eat cakes. I knew this boss very well. I asked him for this secretly. Normal person can’t eat it. Try it.” John picked up the fork and tasted it himself.

Melody was a little uncomfortable. She did not move her fork. Seeing him sizzling the cake, she was on pins and needles.

“Mr Green, you have something to say.” Melody gave up the idea of eating cake, straightened up and looked solemn.

John looked up, “Don’t you eat that? Give it to me.” At this point, he took her cake.

Melody was very depressed that she did not answer her question directly.

What the hell did this man want?

He was just saying something unimportant. Did he really want to do something bad?

“Mr Green, if you don’t say anything about you, I’ll leave.” At this point, Melody pretended to frighten him by taking her bag.

John stopped, raised his eyes, smiled at her and motioned her to sit down. “Don’t worry, you’re not in a hurry, let’s just have a talk.”

“What do you want to talk about?” Melody looked at him warily.

“I wanted to know, why did your family want to change your identity? Why did you pretend you did not know me well? Also, why didn’t your father recognize you?”

A series of questions were sharp.

He is worthy of the lawyer. His questions were concise and straight point.

In this case, she did not beat around the bush.

Melody took a deep breath and replied one by one: “First of all, changing our identity was not my idea. You could question my father. I didn’t want to deceive you at first.”

She was telling the truth. This idea was agreed between Anthony and Beatrix. It had nothing to do with her.

“Secondly, I didn’t pretend to be unfamiliar with you. Although we had a marriage relationship, I haven’t seen you and I’m not familiar with you! Besides, my father did not recognize me, this…” Melody hesitated.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Such an embarrassing question silenced her.
