Chapter 98 I Know His Weakness
Stanley unveiled the blanket and rose from the bed to put on his shirt just as Melinda sat up straight
next to him. What’s wrong? Is he planning not to answer my question? It wasn’t until he was about to
leave the room after putting on his clothes that she began to sense what was going on. “Hey!” She then
quickly changed into a new set of clothes and put on her flip-flops before chasing after the man.
Upon searching for Stanley everywhere downstairs, Melinda finally found him in the backyard. Seeing
the man sitting on the edge of the pool and propping his body with his arm, she let out a sigh and
walked closer to him. “What’s wrong?” She set her eyes on the side of the man’s face. “Don’t tell me
you’re mad.”
“Don’t ask anything about Mervin,” he replied with a glacial voice, his eyes fixated somewhere ahead of
him. “Also, you should stay away from him. If he ever gets close to you, he must be up to no good.”
Stanley was still mad at the thought of what Mervin had said in the office the other day.
Melinda couldn’t tell whether Stanley actually hated or cared about Mervin. “Is he your illegitimate
son?” She placed her hand on the man’s shoulder and turned him around so that she could seriously
look at. him. “Answer me.”
Upon hearing the lady’s question, Stanley couldn’t help but feel surprised, wondering if that was the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtway she thought of him.
“Look into my eyes!” With her palm still on his shoulder, Melinda looked Stanley even closer in the eye.
Don’t even think about lying to me!” Deep down, she felt somewhat disappointed. “All of us must have
done stuff that we weren’t proud of when we were younger. Don’t you think so?” She tried to save him
from embarrassment. “Because I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. Furthermore, I’ll still
learn, about it sooner or later, right?”
“No,” Stanley answered directly with a strong tone. “He can never be my illegitimate son because-
you’re my first woman.”
When Melinda heard the last few words from Stanley, she retracted her arm, feeling as if her heart had
just melted. Then, as Stanley was about to walk away, she snxo.com fast updateapped out of her
trance and caught up to him. “Where are you going?”
“I don’t have my nutrient solution with me,” Stanley continued, “and I’m hungry.”
“Oh, then you should hurry back to the room.” Melinda thought on her feet. “I’ll make us breakfast right
away.” After learning that Mervin was not Stanley’s illegitimate son, Melinda couldn’t help but feel
happy on the inside.
Meanwhile, Monica was in Riverdale, where she pulled over by the riverside because she was too
disturbed and sad to continue driving. Feeling emotionally overwhelmed, she was suffocated by her
depression as if a huge boulder was pinning down her chest. She then looked outside the window and
unfastened her seatbelt, whereupon she opened the car door and exited the vehicle. Dejected and
disheartened, she wanted to walk off her bad mood amidst the chilly breeze as she couldn’t stop
thinking of calling herself an absolute failure due to her broken relationship. After all, she had always
thought she was getting closer and closer to winning Stanley’s heart, only to realize she had been
fooled by her illusion all along. The comfortable life Melinda is living now should have been mine! I
can’t believe I lost to a peasant like her. How unfair! Monica couldn’t accept the fact that Stanley, who
was once someone she was close to, had now become a total stranger to her.
As Monica continued to walk in the breeze, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure not far
ahead. It turned out that Mervin was walking toward her with his arm wrapped around another lady’s
shoulders. At the same time, the lady was wearing a tight outfit and a mini skirt, along with some heavy
make-up on her face and a pair of high heels. She is pretty hot! However, Monica was not surprised by
what
she saw because Mervin always dated different women.
“I’m going to be busy these few days. So, leave me alone,” Mervin wrapped a woman’s shoulders with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhis arm. “We’ll talk only when I’m done with my business. Don’t even think about calling me until then.”
“Aren’t you going to Nottenvale for the competition?” The lady looked at the man.
“Nope.” Mervin knitted his eyebrows. “I feel like punching someone in the face instead.”
“Who’s gotten under your skin, Mervin the lady asked.
Mervin looked up as he spotted Monica standing not far away. He then stopped in his tracks and let go
of the woman, saying, “I have something to attend to. You may go first.”
The lady gazed at Mervin and shifted her eyes to Monica, who was standing not far away. Coupled with
her slender figure and fashionable outfit, Monica gave off an indifferent and haughty aura to the lady.
“W- Who is she?” she asked with a soft voice that could barely hide her jealousy.
Mervin replied impatiently, “If you don’t want me to break up with you, get lost! Now!”
The lady glared at Monica unhappily before she reluctantly walked away. However, she couldn’t stop
herself from looking back once every few steps she took. Meanwhile, Mervin walked up to Monica and
stopped in front of her, keeping his eyes fixed on her shoulder. “Your injury. How do you feel now,
Monica?”
“You seem to be in a bad mood.” Monica could tell that Mervin was being moody. “Great, because I’m
somewhat moody as well. Let’s go for a walk, shall we?” Thus, both of them went for a walk by the river
shore. After a few minutes of silence, Monica said. “I’m doing fine thus far.” She then asked, “Stanley
seemed angry that day. Was it because you went to Sunnyvale? Melinda was there too, wasn’t she?”
“Yup.” Mervin smiled and added, “I know his weakness.”
