His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 194: The Young Woman Has a Lot of Bad Habits 

Melody had just exited the bathroom after taking a shower when she received Luke's call.

If it weren't for the relentless ringing of her phone, which she had thrown on the bed, she would have been too lazy to pick up Luke's call.

Melody pressed the answer button with her free hand and put it on speaker so she could place the phone aside.She sat back against the bed and waited for Luke to speak.

"Boss, I have something super exciting to tell you! Let me give you a clue.It involves a particular person.Who do you think it is?"

Melody's eyes narrowed as she fixed her posture slightly and sat up straight.

Aname popped out into her head immediately, and she guessed it correctly.

Luke was shocked to hear her precise answer.

The volume in his voice instantly rose through the phone's speaker and almost hurt Melody’s ears.

"Oh my god! You guessed it! Boss, how did you know?"

Then Luke regained his composure and cautiously asked, "Did Seth tell you about this?"

Melody sighed and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

‘Why do I have to deal with these things all day long?’ Melody could not help but grumble to herself.

"Do you think I won't see you snooping around our yard? I'm not blind.Of course, I would know."

Luke subconsciously shrank back in his seat in shame on the other side of the phone.

Luke was not surprised that Melody saw him because he expected her to be omniscient, so it was only natural for her to know about it.

"Alright, you got me.But let me tell you, I confronted Seth just now, and I asked him to obey men’s three principles and four virtues that I just came up with on the spot!"

‘The what? He asked Seth to obey men's what?’

‘Three principles and four virtues?’ Melody's eyes involuntarily twitched as she listened to Seth's absurdity.

It took a kid like Luke to conjure up such ridiculous ideas.

Melody asked in genuine curiosity, "So, what's the result?"

"He agreed to everything I said!" Luke yelled incredulously.

Then Luke carried on and explained the contents of his made-up Three Principles and Four Virtues that he mentioned earlier.He also shared that he felt that it would be a bit too much if he were to keep bringing it up to Seth.

However, the last thing Luke expected was for Seth to listen to him intently, much less agree to all the rules he laid out for him.

Luke could not help but shudder when Luke recalled how Seth had agreed to his request.

It was bold of Luke to approach Seth with such a request, but he finally realized why he did it.

Luke could vividly remember Seth nodding in agreement without hesitation once Luke finished speaking.

Then after that, Seth lifted his head and looked casually at Luke.

Luke felt a sudden threatening force looming over him, which nearly suffocated him at that moment.

"Are you done?" Seth asked him in a flat voice.

Luke did not have a chance to react and could only nod quietly.

Seth then rolled up his car window, and Luke was left with the musty smell of the black Bentley as it drove away into the night.

Luke animatedly narrated everything that transpired with Seth to Melody on the phone.He waited for her response after he finished.

In Luke's opinion, Melody would be shocked as well.

After all, it involved Seth, and he was acting quite unpredictable.

The next second, Luke heard a cold and calm voice that felt familiar.

"Are you done?" Melody asked him in a flat voice.

Luke was not sure if he imagined Seth repeating those words or if he was experiencing déja vu.

Melody and Seth both said the same thing. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Luke would understand it if the topic of their conversation was the same, but it was not.

Even the tone they used sounded similar.

It seemed as though he was still talking to Seth.

"Alright, I'm done!" Luke said truthfully.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

The phone beeped three times, indicating that Melody had hung up.

It took Luke three seconds of staring at his phone to process what happened.

The corners of Luke's lips were raised on his handsome face and revealed his pearly whites.

After a few seconds of foolishly laughing, Luke reacted enthusiastically and mumbled to himself, "Melody is undeniably the boss.She can remain calm in any given situation."

On the other end, Melody felt amused by Luke's antics.

Melody stared at her phone for a moment after she hung up on Luke, and her lips curved up subconsciously.Her eyes even crinkled in a smile.

She could imagine Luke bouncing up and down excitedly in front of Seth.

Melody did not expect that Seth would agree to such a childish request.

Seth intrigued her even more after learning about this.

Melody prepared for school the next day.It was just like any other day, or so she thought.

Melody went downstairs and was prepared to go to school when she noticed the black Bentley parked outside, precisely as she had seen it the day before.She looked at the motorcycle keys in her hand and smiled softly.

It seemed that the motorcycle that Luke prepared for her would just be collecting dust in the cold garage in the meantime.

Seth showed up to pick her up on time every school day.

He looked as though he knew everything about her schedule like the back of his hand.

Melody could not care less about how Seth knew where she would be.

He even knew what time she would leave.

She figured this was just one of Seth's many abilities.She did not mind as long as it did not become too much of a problem.

Melody made a beeline towards the black Bentley.

Austin politely greeted her, "Good morning, Miss Melody!"

Austin opened the car door for her and encouraged her to go in and take a seat.

Melody noticed that Seth was working inside the car as soon as the door opened.

Seth was slouching in his car seat.

His back was reclining on the seat cushion, and he had a relaxed look.He sat with his long, slender legs crossed in front of him.

In front of him was a laptop placed on a small folding table.His deep and dazzling eyes were staring at the laptop screen where he was managing his business.

From Melody's perspective, she could perfectly see Seth's side profile.

Seth's flawless facial features in full view were unquestionable.His perfect facial lines, which resembled those of a Greek god, appeared to have been meticulously sculpted.He was so beautiful that people often found it hard to take their eyes off him.

But Melody was even more jealous of Seth's naturally long eyelashes that adorned his bright eyes.

He also had full, thick eyebrows, and it only made Melody question how he had grown into such a handsome man.

Seth covered the computer screen, pushed the small folding table aside, and gave Melody a side glance the minute she got in the car.

His movements were fluid and graceful as if he was performing.

Then Melody and Seth’s eyes met.

Melody pursed her lips slightly and said casually, "Oh, don't mind me.You can keep on working if you haven't finished it yet!"

Seth automatically reached out to hold Melody’s hand in his.

He slightly furrowed his eyebrows when he noticed that her hand felt a little cold.

"Your hand is freezing.Why aren't you dressed warmly?"

Melody’s thin layer of clothes did not sit well with Seth.

Melody looked down at their hands and noticed how his actions were so natural.

Seth's small gestures towards Melody made her heart skip a beat.

She found that he was quite skillful in making her feel that way.

Seth did not wait for Melody's response before telling Austin, who was in the driver's seat, what to do.

"Austin, turn on the car heater!"

Austin was confused as he peered out the window.He saw that the weather was bright and humid.

It was almost ninety degrees outside! Before Austin could react, Melody opened her mouth to stop him.

"It’s okay.There's no need for that.I’m not cold at all."

Austin was frozen in place, unsure whether to open or close the window because of Seth and Melody’s contradictory demands.

Melody had no choice but to explain when she realized that Seth was not buying it.

"My hands only feel cold because I prefer to wash them with cold water!"

Seth's frown deepened when he heard Melody's explanation.The young woman had a lot of bad habits.

It seemed that these bad habits of hers would give Seth a headache in the future.
