Chapter 241: Perfectly Arranged
With his reply, Melody Monroe stood up. "You two sit for a bit. I’m going to go clean up the kitchen and prep for dinner."
"I’ll help."
"Ian will help."
The father and son spoke in unison. Then they looked at each other, their gazes meeting as sparks flew.
Melody Monroe watched them, completely puzzled.
’Isn’t the TV interesting? Isn’t the phone fun? Is the sofa not soft enough? Why are they both fighting to do chores?’
In the end, the big one and the small one stood in the kitchen. The big one washed the dishes while the small one dried them, their teamwork perfectly in sync.
Melody Monroe sat alone on the sofa, feeling lonely, bored, desolate, and empty...
...
In a private room of a famous restaurant in Rockwellburg, Raymond Ford sat alone, waiting anxiously.
After a short while, the sound of footsteps came from outside, and she immediately stood up.
The door opened, and Lana Sheffield walked in, accompanied by two other women.
Of the two women accompanying Lana Sheffield, one held her purse and the other her coat, serving her respectfully.
Raymond Ford watched Lana Sheffield’s grand entrance and thought to herself.
’As expected of the young lady of the Sheffield Family. She goes out like a queen on a royal tour.’
"Mrs. Sterling, it’s so wonderful that you could come." Raymond Ford quickly pulled out a chair for her.
Lana Sheffield sat down. "It’s rare for someone to be so thoughtful. How could I refuse to come? I heard Rose Shaw used to be your manager, too. Is it true that just because of some minor conflict between you and Melody Monroe, Rose Shaw dropped you?"
"You may not know this, Mrs. Sterling, but the ’conflict’ between Melody Monroe and me was all a setup by her. Because of President Sterling, Rose Shaw always favored Melody Monroe. Even if I was in the right, I couldn’t say anything. I didn’t dare to."
Upon hearing Raymond Ford’s words, Lana Sheffield secretly clenched her fists, a flash of anger in her eyes.
"Mrs. Sterling, don’t be angry. Now that President Sterling has you, he’ll definitely have nothing to do with Melody Monroe anymore. You’re so beautiful and have such a noble status. How could Melody Monroe possibly compare? She’s not even worthy of carrying your shoes."
Lana Sheffield was pleased by these words. She smiled at Raymond Ford. "You’re not exactly a newcomer anymore. You have your own works. Logically, your resources should be better than Melody Monroe’s, and it should be easier to make you a star. From now on, you’ll work with Wayne Payne."
"Thank you, Mrs. Sterling!" Raymond Ford immediately expressed her gratitude.
’It seems Wayne Payne and Rhona Hughes have already managed to cozy up to Lana Sheffield.’
"The reason I haven’t driven Melody Monroe out is that I don’t want to stoop to her level and lower my own status. But as long as I’m around, she’ll never have her day in the sun!"
"Your status is so noble, Mrs. Sterling. What is Melody Monroe? If you dealt with her yourself, you’d just be dirtying your own hands. A homewrecker like her who dreams of destroying other people’s families is despised by all! I won’t let her get away with it."
Lana Sheffield nodded. She liked Raymond Ford’s perceptiveness.
...
It was after eight in the evening. After dinner, the task of cleaning the kitchen and washing the dishes was once again left to Evan Fairchild and Ian Monroe, while Melody Monroe sat alone in the living room, spacing out.
Watching the big one and the small one bustling about in the kitchen, she suddenly had the illusion that they were a family of three.
Once, she had also fantasized about having a complete family in the future.
A husband who was ordinary but steady and loved her, a cute child, and a life of simple happiness.
Now, the scene was somewhat similar to the one she had once imagined.
The difference was, Evan Fairchild was not that ordinary, steady husband.
He was worlds away from being mediocre and ordinary!
Evan Fairchild finished washing the dishes, straightened his clothes, and saw Melody Monroe still sitting on the sofa. "Aren’t you going to go change?"
"Oh! I’ll go right now!" Melody Monroe stood up and walked toward the bedroom.
Ian Monroe walked out, also adjusting his sleeves. He didn’t even notice that his actions were exactly the same as the man’s.
"In a bit, you have a classmate’s party to attend. Uncle Page is coming to pick you up."
"I don’t have a class party!"
"Yes, you do!"
