Transmigrated as The Best Female Character of the Year

Melody was completely taken aback by his move.

’This isn’t the Evan Fairchild I know!!!’

Her heart lurched with a sudden, inexplicable panic.

"Mr., Mr. Fairchild..."

"Don’t move."

Melody didn’t dare move.

"Mommy! Get Ian’s pajamas."

Melody glanced toward the bathroom. Evan Fairchild was still holding her, showing no sign of letting go.

"Mr. Fairchild, I need to get Ian’s pajamas. Can you please let me go?"

Evan Fairchild finally let go. Melody quickly got up and went to the closet.

Ian’s little bunny pajamas were hanging inside. Melody took them down and headed for the bathroom.

Evan Fairchild picked up the Coke on the table and drank it all in one go.

’What the hell is with this weather?’

’It’s so damn hot!’

Melody came out holding Ian Monroe. She placed him on the bed and started drying his hair with a towel.

"Ian, be a good boy and go to sleep. Mommy will come over to be with you as soon as I’m done with work tomorrow. I only have one scene, so I’ll be finished quickly."

Evan Fairchild raised an eyebrow.

’She’s leaving?!’

Ian was even more direct, hugging his mommy tightly!

"Can’t you stay, Mommy? Please stay, okay?"

"If Mommy stays, where will Mr. Fairchild sleep? Be a good boy, Ian. Mommy will wait for you to fall asleep before I leave."

"Okay, then you should lie down too, Mommy."

Evan Fairchild raised his eyebrow again.

’This little rascal. One second he couldn’t bear for her to leave, and the next he just agrees? Does he have no principles?’

’Shouldn’t he be crying and throwing a fit to make his mom stay?’

Melody lay down beside Ian Monroe, patting him gently. "Go to sleep, sweetheart."

Evan Fairchild got up and walked toward the bathroom.

’Maybe a cold shower is what I need to cool off.’

’This woman is infuriating!’

’What on earth is going through her mind?’

’Judging by her expression earlier, she was clearly reluctant, like she was just here to repay some kind of debt.’

The more Evan Fairchild thought about it, the angrier he got.

’Does she really not feel anything else for me?’

Melody gently patted Ian. Just when she thought he had fallen asleep, his eyes suddenly flew open. He looked even more awake than before.

"Mommy, what time will you be here tomorrow?"

Melody: ...

"I’ll be here before noon tomorrow, okay? Now sleep. Go to sleep, sweetheart."

Ian Monroe closed his eyes again.

Melody let out a soft sigh and stifled a yawn.

Her eyelids felt heavy.

’What time is it already? Why won’t Ian go to sleep?!’

The sound of running water suddenly came from the bathroom. ’Is Evan Fairchild taking a shower?’

Melody grew tense again.

’Will Ian fall asleep before Evan Fairchild gets out of the shower?!’

"Mommy, I flew on an airplane today! It went WHOOSH and took off!"

Melody: ...

Seeing Ian’s excited face, she didn’t have the heart to scold him. It was his first time on a plane; of course he was thrilled.

"Weren’t you scared?"

"Not scared!"

"Be a good boy and sleep, okay, Ian? When Mommy comes tomorrow, you can tell me everything you want to say."

"Okay!" Ian nodded obediently.

Melody’s hope was renewed. ’Ian will definitely be asleep within five minutes!’

The seconds ticked by, and Melody was at her breaking point.

Suddenly, the sound of running water from the bathroom stopped.

Evan Fairchild pushed open the door and walked out.

Melody quickly averted her eyes!

’How could he come out wearing just a towel!’

Evan Fairchild walked to the closet, took down a bathrobe, and put it on. Then he took a bottle of mineral water from the fridge, twisted off the cap, and started chugging it.

"Mommy, I’m thirsty," Ian’s small voice piped up.

Melody: ...
