Chapter 65 Understanding Her Past Seven Years.
“Well, Mr. Fox sent someone to stalk me, and he’s constantly on guard around me.” Melinda didn’t
bother to sugarcoat her words. “Do you think he really treats me as part of his family? A man like him
would never trust anyone. He doesn’t care about genuine relationships-all he cares about is what
benefits him.”
“N-No, that’s not how it is.” Gael tried his best to explain the situation. “Mr. Fox might not care about
anyone else, but he definitely cares about you and the children. He has changed so much ever since
you guys moved in. He’s so much warmer nowadays,” Gael insisted.
Melinda shifted her gaze toward Gael and smiled faintly. “He’s only doing that for the kids. He probably
only cares about blood relations,” she stated. The housekeeper was speechless after that. “By the way,
who’s Mervin Laurent?” Melinda recalled a question that had been on her mind.
“Mervin Laurent?” Gael shook his head. “I haven’t heard of him.” Melinda could tell that the
housekeeper wasn’t lying. What’s going on?

tummies were grumbling. They all stared at the front porch with looks of anticipation on their faces.
“Should we give Daddy a call, Mommy? Can we ask him what time he’s coming home?” Samuel toyed
around with his cutleries as he spoke dejectedly.
“Im not going to do that. Let’s not wait for him. We can just eat, Melinda announced before she began
Scooping some soup into the children’s bowls. Pamela picked her cutleries up to dig in as well.
Mommy’s home-cooked food is the best! It’s a miracle that I managed to wait for so long. Samuel, too,
had been eager to devour all the food on the table, so he didn’t hesitate to pick his cutleries up either. ‘
Meanwhile, Gael stood around the main hall as he looked out at the front porch. Why isn’t Mr. For
home yet? Mrs. For prepared all these dishes for him. He usually doesn’t work overtime, anyway. At
the same time, at the front entrance of Fox Group, Stanley’s driver had just opened the Lamborghini’s
door for him. Stanley got in the car with great elegance in his movements.
“I want to go to Taylor’s,” he told the driver once the car started moving.xo.com fast update
“Alright, Mr. Fox.”
While in the car, Stanley calmly inserted the needle for an IV drip into his skin. He was reminded of
Melinda and the taste of her egg-tomato pasta… He was reminded of the second time they had met in
Sunnyvale seven years ago… All their past memories resurfaced in his mind.
Stanley arrived at Taylor’s villa about ten minutes later. They sat down opposite one another with a
table in between them. Taylor poured them a glass of wine each. The last time they were there, they
were dealing with the DNA test. “Tell me more about her,” Stanley said in a heavy tone with his brows
knitted together. “You probably know best what her life was like for the last seven years,” he added.
Taylor could tell that Stanley wasn’t his usual self; he was in a bad mood. Stanley’s interest in Melinda
was his way of showing care for her. Taylor picked his glass up to take a sip of wine before he let out a
sigh. “Well, to summarize it, things were… tough. Things were really, really tough for her.” Taylor looked
up to see a grim expression on Stanley’s face after he finished his sentence.
“Women are generally a lot weaker-both mentally and physically-when they are pregnant. Furthermore,
she was pregnant with twins, so that made things even harder for her,” Taylor added. Stanley simply
sipped on his drink in silence as he listened to Taylor. “But her childbirth experience was pretty smooth.

able to give up on those kids, even if she knew how tough things were going to be for her.” Taylor had
“She actually knew who the children’s father was, but she decided not to look after him since it was her
decision to keep the children.” Taylor told Stanley. “After Samuel and Pamela were born, they both
suffered lung infections before they were even a month old. Those days were a lot tougher, and
Melinda practically spent all of her time caring for the kids. She barely got any sleep as she was
worried that she would lose her children the moment she shut her eyes….
Stanley felt all sorts of emotions in his chest as he listened to Taylor’s words. “She took care of her
own. children, and she did all of her own research and explorations as a new mother. With all the effort
she put in and all the notes she took, she eventually became a pro with kids. She taught them how to
speak their first word and to take their first step. The entire process was really tough, and it took a lot of
patience…” Taylor said.
“One day, she finally collapsed. She had a really high fever, and Samuel was the one who called me to
ask. for help. She had already passed out by the time I got to her…” Stanley felt a sharp ache in his
chest as if his heart had been crushed into a million pieces.
