Stop, Your Grace!

“When I saw you wandering around here alone on the road after work from the office, I was curious to follow you all the time. There was no other meaning.”

Melody put down his vigilance. “You just got off work, too?”

“Yes, I have endless things to do every day as a boss.” At this point, John looked at her. “Why don’t you go home on night?”

Home?

Which home could she go back to?

“I just have nothing to do and come out to relax.” Melody said with a embarrassed smile.

She didn’t want to expose her scar to an outsider.

“You don’t look like you’re coming out to relax, but… being kicked out.”

John, who was sensitive in insight, noticed early in the morning that she was lying, so she did not beat around the bush and exposed her directly.

Melody blushed with embarrassment when he said so.

Seeing her silence, he knew he was right, “Is there really no place to go??”

“It’s very late. I don’t want to talk to you.”

Melody was too lazy to talk too much to the man and turned to leave.

“Angry?” John stopped her, “If you really have no place to go, I can take you in. It is not safe for a girl to wander around on night.”

“Is it safe to follow you?” Melody said angrily.

“Of course, at the very least, as your fiance… I will not harm you.” He laughed.

Melody grunted coldly, “I said that before. I had nothing to do with you, Sandy is your fiancee.”

After saying, she passed by him and speed up the pace to leave.

John did not give up and said, “I don’t agree with what you said! Clearly it is the two of us who have an engagement, why do you insist on pushing it to your sister?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Melody glanced at him and said helplessly, “It’s not me who wanted to avoid, it’s my father who didn’t agree with this marriage between me and you. Besides, I am not his daughter anymore, and I am not worthy of you without name or status.”

“So that’s what you care about?” he asked doubtfully.

“Yes.”

A marriage that was not blessed and had no beginning of love, she did not want to end up with a fate that everyone disliked.

“This is not a problem.”

John stood in front of her and finally stopped her.

“Why is this not a problem?”

He raised his eyebrows and replied earnestly, “As my wife, you will naturally become famous and have a position. There is no need to consider so many things.”

“Are you serious?”

“Of course!”

Melody scoffed, “As I said, I am not the one who married you, so if you don’t want to marry Sandy, you can dissolve the marriage yourself. There is no need to pester me.”

“But you are the one I want to marry!”

He looked at her with a stubbornness in her eyes.

Melody was stunned.

What did he mean?

Seeing her staring blankly, John took out the protective talisman she lost last time from her pocket. “Is this yours?”

Melody was surprised, “Hey, how can it be here with you…” Said, want to stretch out her hand to get it.

John withdrew his hand and hid it behind him. “From now on, this thing will be mine.”

“How can you do this?”

Melody stared at him discontentedly.

“Let’s not discuss the engagement first. It’s getting late. You can’t sleep on the street! I have a house near here. Go back to my place first?” John tentatively asked.

“No need.” Melody resolutely refused.

“Fine. I don’t live with you, I’ll send you home, is that okay?” He chose to take a step back and accommodate her.

Melody struggled inside.

At this point, it was impossible to stay without spending money. But if she went to his house…

“You live alone. Don’t worry, it’s safe.”

He promised again and again.

In the end, Melody could not help it. In order to save money and safety, she had to agree, “Well, thank you first.”

“Then go, my car is on the other side of the road.”

John succeeded and his mouth evoked a cheerful smile.
