Chapter 22
In the evening. Stanley headed to Emerald Harbor in a Lamborghini.
He was seated in the back. As the evening sunlight shohe on his facial contour, he furrowed his thick
eyebrows. He recalled making love to Melinda seven years ago, and just several days ago, he met his
kids for the first time.
It was all so surreal that he fell into a daze.
Meanwhile, the car was moving slowly since they were stuck in traffic.
Inadvertently, he saw a father and a young boy leaving a toy store. The young boy seemed to be loving
his new blue robot. The moment the father picked him up, the young boy beamed. His smile infected
Stanley.
“Stop the car,” he said to the driver. “I need to go to that toy store.”
The driver soon pulled up beside the toy store. Before he could get out of the vehicle, he saw Stanley
striding toward the store.
It was a big shop with six floors full of toys.
The instant Stanley stepped into the place, the young and beautiful personal shopper looked at him in
shock. “Are you Mr. Fox?!”
“Do you still have the same blue robot that the young boy bought earlier?” Stanley asked gently.
Despite being noble and elegant, he was distant and aloof.

The personal shopper nodded repeatedly. “We do. I’ll get it for you right away!” She felt her heart
pounding in her chest.
“Do you also happen to have a pink one?” he added. “I want two of those robots.”
“Yes.” She had seen on the news that Stanley had two kids. It never crossed her mind that a powerful
man like him would be such a loving father.
After the payment was made, the personal shopper passed Stanley a bouquet. “Mr. Fox, to celebrate
our shop’s anniversary, we’re giving each customer flowers for buying two robots. You may give them
to your wife.”
Stanley looked at the flowers and hesitated for a while before taking them. xo.com fast update
The moment he left the store, the reporters managed to capture photos of him holding some toys and
flowers.
As the sunlight shone on Emerald Harbor, it made the place look even more magnificent.
The Lamborghini drove into the yard and pulled up in front of the villa.
Melinda, who was clad in a blue and white suit, stood in the doorway. When she saw Stanley holding
two robots and some roses, she was startled.
It was only natural that he bought toys for the kids, but did he also buy flowers for her?
Stanley walked toward her and thought that the woman’s layers of clothing made her look refreshing
and gentle.
He admired the woman’s sense of fashion, for she always wore clothes that were appropriate for
different occasions.
The instant he brushed past Melinda, he stuffed the roses into her arms and directly entered the living
room.
As Melinda caught a whiff of the fragrance, she came to her senses and followed him.
These are presents for Samuel and Pamela Stanley passed the robots to Gael. “We’ll be heading to
Repulse Bay now Since we’ll be back soon, you can tell the cook to start preparing dinner,”
“Yes, Mr. Fox.
Stanley then turned around and looked at the dazed woman, who stood there with the flowers in her
arms “Put down the flowers. We have to get going now With that, he strode toward the door.
Melinda promptly put down the flowers on the table and followed him.
She was seated beside the man in the Lamborghini. Since the man never said anything, the
atmosphere was slightly awkward.
As such, she decided to look out the window. The silence lasted for five minutes.
“Who on earth are you?”
Stanley felt that the community leader of a poor village like her wasn’t supposed to have such
immaculate taste in fashion.
Melinda looked him in the eye with a calm expression. You should trust your judgment. I’m the kids‘

As their eyes met, Stanley realized the woman appeared resolute.
He didn’t probe any further. All the same, he would continue looking into her background.
A moment later, Melinda said, “I didn’t expect you to be 12 years older than me.” It’s no wonder that
he’s so sedate. “By the way, what skincare products do you use? You look younger than your age.”
“It’s in the genes,” the man replied impassively.
Hearing that, Melinda couldn’t help smiling. She looked out the window to take in the scenery and
thought that the man was conceited
Soon, the Lamborghini pulled up in front of a villa in Repulse Bay. Melinda came to her senses and got
out of
the vehicle with him.
Much to her surprise, Stanley took her hand and entered the living room.
Will he protect me from his mother today?
Jennifer was seated on the couch with her entire body covered and a delicate half–mask on her face.
Although Melinda couldn’t tell what was on the older woman’s mind, she found the atmosphere in the
living room depressing.
It was apparent to her that Jennifer was displeased.
“I only wanted to see her. Why did you come as well? Fine. I’ll give the two of you three days to get
divorced.” Jennifer cut to the chase and stared at Melinda. “Regardless of how well–dressed you are, it
can’t change the fact that you’re just a country bumpkin. You said the two of you have been secretly
married for seven years. You might be able to lie to the media, but you can’t fool me.”
