Chapter 48
Melanie wondered if Ethan was a money–grubber who wanted everything!
She followed Ethan’s voice and then her head was buzzing!
She wondered, ‘What the hell is that?”
She saw a quaint but radiant small sword!
It was a small sword because its blade was shorter than that of an average sword but longer than that of an average dagger.
Judging from its color, Melanie knew that it was an ancient copper alloy sword.
Its value was incalculable!
The sword’s body was deep in color and brilliant.
It did not rust, no matter how old it was or how much blood it drank. It was the best of the best.
“Ethan, you can’t take this!”
As soon as Melanie finished speaking, Geoffrey’s deep voice sounded in the room.
“Melanie, you’re here. Please sit down! Let the kids play by themselves!”
Melanie hurriedly looked back and noticed a small door leading to a balcony greenhouse.
There was a huge coffee table in the middle of the greenhouse, and Geoffrey was brewing coffee beside it.
Melanie suddenly realized this was where Geoffrey kept his treasures. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
It was huge, but it didn’t feel empty, because the whole room was full of quaint shelves.
There were a variety of antiques that Melanie had never seen or heard of on each shelf.
Ethan and Elias were sitting at the table beside them, playing with their gadgets!
Melanie was left speechless with surprise. The Lambert family was rich beyond her wildest dreams!
Geoffrey had a house of curiosities!
She couldn’t imagine how deep the Lambert family’s pockets were.
“Melanie, come over for a cup of coffee to see if you like it or not,” Geoffrey said kindly again.
Only then did Melanie recover from her shock and cross the small door.
“Mr. Lambert!”
“Please sit down!” Geoffrey greeted her courteously. “I wasn’t wrong about you. You’re good!”
Melanie wondered why Geoffrey had said that.
Wha
made him think she was good?
She also saw Kevin, who was standing aside, smiling.
“Ms. late because she was talking to Roderick outside. When
Robertson showed up I went over, they were reluctant to separate from each other!” Kevin explained.
“Really?” Geoffrey’s smile widened. “Look at you two. What a sweet couple! You’re good, Melanie.”
Melanie felt embarrassed. She didn’t understand.
“Melanie, Roddy is ignorant. If he did anything to offend you, please forgive him!”
Hearing this, Melanie suddenly remembered the night seven years before. Roderick had done nothing wrong to her. What happened between them was a deal. It was just and fair.
In addition, Roderick was very gentle to her that night!
Melanie’s heart began to race again as she thought of it.
“Melanie, take a sip of coffee! I never thought I would see the day!” Geoffrey said.
Kevin, who was standing aside, also chuckled.
“If you like, you can ask Ms. Robertson to visit you often!”
Before Melanie could tell Geoffrey that she didn’t have time to visit him very often, Ethan spoke loudly, “Great–grandpa, don’t worry. My mommy is the best. She will come to have coffee with you often!”
Geoffrey laughed. “Ethan is right! I believe what he said!”
Melanie was rendered speechless.
She thought, ‘What the hell is this kid talking about? How dare he keep digging a hole for me!”
What else could she say?
In that case, she couldn’t say anything but continued to drink coffee.
“Does it taste good?” Geoffrey suddenly asked.
“My coffee is made from coffee plants grown on my farm. They’re handmade by locals. I’ll ask Roddy to send you some later!”
“No, thanks! I don’t usually drink coffee!” Melanie hurriedly refused.
Actually, she was a coffee lover, but she had no choice but to say the words that she didn’t mean!
She was afraid of the Lambert family. What if Geoffrey sent a load of coffee to her company? Her employees would receive a bag of coffee as a perk again!
The more important thing was that she didn’t want to owe the Lambert family a favor.
