Chapter 838 - Reminder from Leonard (1/2)

As an elder, Lockhart made no secret that he was mocking his nephew.

Mellisa's eyes burned with anger, her beautiful face was covered with frost.

As soon as she was about to speak, Leonard grabbed her wrist, and his soft, low-pitched words came out. ”Uncle, you're thinking too much. Since I am the heir to the Adler family, who do you think would dare to laugh at me?”

”As for my current condition, I consider this a test. After all, as the eldest brother, I always want to set an example for my younger siblings. I want to show that people value their abilities and skills more than their outlook. It's better to be crippled than small-witted and easy to manipulate. This should be enough of a lesson for you to learn.”

Leonard's sarcasm made Lockhart and his son pause for a moment.

He warned them to be careful that Luke would become trash in the future.

The fake smile on Lockhart's face also gradually subsided. He looked at Leonard deeply, and then said to the driver, ”What are you waiting for, go!”

The caddy passed, and a faint glow appeared on Luke's line of sight.

As the car drove off, Leonard turned to face Mellisa. ”What did you want to say?”

”Nothing, I just can't understand why they are so arrogant.”

The two of them then continued to walk slowly together. The man came closer to Mellisa and said, ”You don't need to get involved with them. This is my fight, don't you interfere. When you see them in the future, try to stay away.”

A faint smile appeared on Mellisa's cheeks. ”Young Master, do you think I can't handle them?”

Leonard scoffed, and his tone was slightly aggressive. ”You have nothing to do with this! Don't be stubborn!”

Couldn't she just be nice and calm for once?

”Since I am your personal servant, it should be my duty to protect you.”

Melissa's temperament has always been like this. What she decides, even if she has to fight tooth and nails, she would still do it.

Leonard frowned for a moment, then lifted his gaze still with a sullen face. ”Your job is to stay with me every day, and don't worry about anything else.”

”Oh.” Mellisa curtly answered, and kept walking.

At this moment, Leonard panicked.

What's with this submissive air?!

Leonard noticed Mellisa's fading figure, and walked again when he came to his senses. ”What do you mean?”

Mellisa kept her pace, facing Leonard with a smile on her eyes. ”What you just said... I dare not disobey.”

Hah?!

Leonard looked suspicious, did Mellisa take the wrong medicine?!

This woman suddenly turned so empathetic, so he panicked.

”Wait!” Leonard stood still and whispered against his back.

Mellisa looked back and turned around, her expression showed indifference. ”What is it?”

Leonard stretched out his left hand confidently. ”My leg hurts, help me.”

A trace of helplessness passed through Melissa's eyes. After thinking about it, she finally stopped arguing with her thoughts, walked back to the man, and firmly supported him with his shoulders.

After dinner, Mellisa took a shower and returned to the master bedroom.

Starting tonight, she would be living in a room with Leonard.

Even though she had lived together before, time had passed.

In order to prevent Leonard from discovering her identity and to keep her promise to Leonhart, Mellisa wrapped her hair in a towel while thinking of precautions.

At this time, Leonard fumbled a few times in the air, and took out a few small bottles from the bedside table. ”Come here and take this medicine.”

Mellisa's heart tightened, and she stopped from drying her hair. ”I'm not sick, what medicine should I take?”

Leonard threw the small bottle straight into the blanket. ”Then you will help me take a bath now, and I will see if you will faint from the heatstroke!”

Mellisa dropped the towel and stood on the spot.
