Triplet Mommy’s Triumphant Return by Quinn Hart

Chapter 74

Melanie was aware that she would see an infatuating pair of eyes if she opened her eyes right now.

She had never thought that someone from the Lambert family would have such affectionate eyes.

Anyway, she did not think he could be that loving.

She wondered how long he could pretend. Three months or six months?

Melanie thought silently and sighed. However, she felt sorry for him.

She had never before heard of a skin hunger so peculiar that it permitted only certain people’s touch.

She didn’t believe that Roderick was only comfortable with her touch.

Suddenly, as if to answer her question, Roderick moved over and wrapped his hands around her.

With his movement, his refreshing aura instantly enveloped Melanie.

Melanie experienced a jolt, which left her weak all over and caused her to lose her strength and willpower to struggle.

She just let Roderick hold her, not moving.

Perhaps her inaction encouraged him. Roderick hugged her and gently lay on his side in the seat, his lips parting near her ears. “Mela.” The whispered name jolted her calm breathing pattern.

Her attempt at fake sleeping fizzled out in an instant when he called her this way. This was happening again.

Melanie felt as if the little bell started to shake violently again.

Suddenly, cold lips kissed her.

Immediately, a sweet and reviving scent enveloped her, making her momentarily forgetful. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

She felt herself becoming dizzy very quickly because the scent seemed to have a slight hallucinogenic effect.

In a trance, she felt that the luxurious car seemed to soar into the sky, transforming into a large cloud.

Melanie was aware that she was lying on a cloud, with a ringing bell and a rainbow of nine colors beside her. Countless seven–colored bubbles were floating in the air.

On the very night of returning from Kdeal, Melanie worked late in Rising Star because she had to keep an eye on the evening auction.

Before Melanie could finish, Angie called to tell her that Angie would not be returning home that evening and that she and Michael would be visiting his mother and grandfather on the island first thing the following morning.

Melanie couldn’t do anything about it.

As she was wrapping up her work, it occurred to her that Enzo was at the research institute and Ethan and Elias were not at Harbour Villa.

Melanie abruptly lost interest in returning home because no one was home.

She called Gary and decided to sleep in the office that night.

However, she couldn’t fall asleep when she was lying in bed by herself in her office’s bedroom.

Of course, she thought of the daytime scene in the car with Roderick.

They were close and intimate together.

It was like that night seven years ago.

It was seven years ago, and Melanie could not recall how long they stayed in bed. together.

Although she couldn’t see at the time, she clearly remembered how she had gone from fear and despair to dependence and commitment.

He could dispel the fear from her heart with just a simple “Don’t be afraid“.

As she thought about it, Melanie became irritated again.

“What was wrong with her?‘ she thought.

She thought of a man who had made a ridiculous deal with her.

Even worse, she found herself remembering more and more of that night she spent having sex with him.

This was simply unacceptable.

Melanie thought there must be something wrong with her brain.

Or maybe Roderick was addictive.

Yes, he must be addictive!

And he was even with skin hunger.

Melanie felt an odd sensation in her mouth once more as she considered this.

She was reliving the moment of her daytime kiss with Roderick.

His lips felt slightly cold.

His kiss was passionate, but not lustful.

She remembered how her heart raced once more as he kissed her more deeply, like a bell ringing frantically.

The concerto was lengthy, and the rhythm was lovely and clear.

As she considered this, Melanie felt that the big office had transformed into the cloud that she had been on during the day.

She also felt as though she had transformed into a happy little bell with wings and was flying in it.

Ring. Ring.

Suddenly, an insistent ringing noise jarred the room, disrupting the serene silence.

Melanie felt herself tumble out of the cloud and strike the earth forcefully.

She finally came back to her senses and realized that she was in the office’s bedroom right now.

‘Have I been recalling those scenes being with Roderick?! Wait, what’s that harsh bell sound?‘ she wondered.

As if knowing that she was in a daze, the ringing insistently sounded again, refusing to be ignored.

It took Melanie some time to realize that her office phone was ringing.

It was precisely twelve o’clock.

She didn’t go home and turned off her cell phone so as not to be disturbed.

Who would call this office number?!

Roderick was the first person Melanie thought of.

She couldn’t help feeling a little flustered when she thought of the dream she had just had.

But the telephone kept ringing. Melanie calmed down and picked up the telephone.

“Ms. Robertson.”

“Darrin?!” To Melanie’s surprise, the person who called was not Roderick but Darrin.

“It’s so late. Why are you calling? Didn’t I tell Gary that I wouldn’t go home. tonight?” she asked.

“Ms. Robertson, it’s not safe for you to stay in the office alone.”

Melanie sensed that Darrin was talking more than usual and that his voice had lost its calmness.

“It’s OK. I have an important meeting tomorrow morning. It is safe because the entire office building is installed with security equipment,” she explained.

Melanie was appreciative of Darrin.

Despite the fact that Darrin was only the Thomas family’s bodyguard, Melanie had been taking him as her friend, like a brother.

After all, he had helped her a lot in the past seven years.

“Ms. Robertson, do you want me to…”

“No need,” Melanie interrupted him as she felt that he talked too much today.

“How is everything working out with what I entrusted to you? Have you

investigated the Robertson family thoroughly?”

Darrin was silent for a moment before saying, “Ms. Robertson, I’ll find out as soon as possible.”

“Thank you, Darrin. You must find my mother’s notebook.”

“Yes, Ms. Robertson.”

After the phone call ended, Melanie returned to her little bed in the bedroom but couldn’t fall asleep.
