Chapter 156: Mr. ’Rich’ Fei
"How about we wait until Mama works hard and makes lots of money, then we can buy a big house just like this one, okay?" Melody Monroe asked, her heart aching a little. She knew she could never earn this much money in her entire life.
’I’ll just let it be a white lie.’
"Okay!" Ian Monroe nodded happily.
Melody Monroe secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright! Then Mama will have to work really hard! Will you cheer Mama on, Ian?"
"Go, Mama, go!" Ian Monroe quickly stood up, wrapped his arms around his mother, and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Oh, this is wonderful! Your kisses make Mama so, so happy, sweetie!"
Ian Monroe quickly planted another kiss on his mother’s other cheek.
Melody Monroe couldn’t help but kiss Ian Monroe’s cheek in return.
"Come on, time to change into your pajamas."
"Mama, I want to wear my little bunny pajamas."
"How about Mama goes back and gets them for you tomorrow? For tonight, let’s just wear this pair."
"Okay." Ian Monroe nodded obediently.
After he was changed into his pajamas, Melody Monroe turned off the main light, leaving on a small nightlight by the bed, and lay down gently beside Ian Monroe. Before long, she heard his steady, even breathing.
Melody Monroe carefully shifted, took the little yellow duck from Ian Monroe’s hand, placed it on the table to the side, and then left the room.
Some of the lights downstairs had also been turned off, but Claire Walsh and Auntie Lana were still busy in the dining room.
Melody Monroe glanced at the rooms on the second floor; none of the lights were on. She headed downstairs but didn’t see any sign of Evan Fairchild.
"Miss Monroe, is there anything you need?" Claire Walsh asked softly when she saw Melody Monroe.
"Where is... President Fairchild?"
"President Fairchild doesn’t usually live here."
"Oh, thank you." Melody Monroe said her thanks and went back upstairs.
’Evan Fairchild doesn’t live here. That’s a relief. At least I won’t have to face him all the time.’
’But I still have so many questions I want to ask him.’
’Looks like I’ll just have to wait until tomorrow.’
Pushing open the door to the other room, Melody Monroe froze completely!
She backed out and looked around again, confirming that this was indeed the room Claire Walsh had pointed out to her.
’What is with this room’s over-the-top pink princess theme?’
There was a large princess bed with a pink, light gauze canopy. The vanity table to the side looked like something out of a cartoon, its pink decor radiating an undeniable luxury.
Moreover, the bed and the space by the floor-to-ceiling windows were piled high with stuffed dolls, all in soft, pastel pinks.
’This room... isn’t it a bit inappropriate for me?’
’It looks like a child’s room that a wealthy family would prepare for their daughter.’
In fact, this house had been purchased just a month ago, and it came fully furnished. Mr. Fairchild already owned property in Rockwellburg, so buying another house this large in Rockwellburg seemed as if he were planning to settle down.
When Claire Walsh had seen the two children’s rooms upstairs, she had even asked Evan Fairchild if the decor style needed to be changed.
The style didn’t suit Mr. Fairchild at all.
Evan Fairchild’s answer was: No need to change it.
Melody Monroe looked around the room. There were no signs of anyone having lived there; everything was new.
She pushed open a door and was stunned once again!
’Is this a walk-in closet?’
’It’s more than twice the size of the one in Ian’s room!’
It was also filled to the brim. Standing at the doorway, she felt like she had just unlocked a treasure chest. ’Did he move an entire boutique into the house?’
She walked in, randomly picked up an item of clothing, and found that it was her size.
’It must be a coincidence, right?’
She picked up another piece. It was the same size.
A drawer to the side caught her attention. She pulled it open and immediately gasped!
It was a jewelry drawer. Inside royal blue velvet boxes lay various pieces of jewelry, their tags still attached. Just among them, there were six diamonds the size of pigeon’s eggs!
