Melody blinked her wide almond eyes, looking innocent and confused, but her small hand instinctively tugged at Edward’s loosened tie. She had already pulled it halfway off, leaving his collar slightly open. 

The crisp white shirt now revealed part of Edward’s firm, muscular chest, with his pale collarbone catching the light, tinged with a faint blush. 

For some reason, Melody couldn’t help but gulp audibly.. 

“Tsk, you little glutton.” 

Edward chuckled, his fingers instinctively reaching out to pinch Melody’s soft, chubby cheeks. 

Her face still had a hint of baby fat, making it irresistibly squishy. 

The bounce of her skin made him want to tease her even more. 

Melody’s skin felt like silk under his fingers, and as soon as they touched, it was as if a spark of electricity passed between them. 

She looked up and met Edward’s predatory gaze, and the contact sent a tingling sensation through her entire body, making her heart race, 

“Uh… Mr. Moore! Stop it! 

“We’re … we’re in the middle of a meeting,” she stammered, her ears burning red. 

Melody hadn’t forgotten what was happening–this was Moore Group’s shareholder meeting, 

after all. 

Even though it was just a video conference, Edward’s casual behavior was a bit too much. 

Edward glanced down at her, clearly amused by how she was trying to stop him. Her small rame tilted back as she tried to put some distance between them, but that only made him nore tempted. He couldn’t resist squeezing the little dimples on her cheeks again, his fingers ›layfully pressing into her soft skin. 

How had he never noticed before? Melody was so much fun to tease. 

But after receiving an annoyed glare from her, Edward finally relented. 

le kissed her cheek one more time, like he was doing her a huge favor, before releasing her 

rom his arms.

He reopened the laptop, ready to resume the meeting. 

“Oh… time for the meeting, is it? 

“Mel. I guess you’ll just have to endure it for now.” 

Edward-teased in a low voice, his tone far too playful for a serious meeting.

His words made Melody’s face heat up even more, and without another word, she quickly escaped to the bathroom to wash up. 

Before leaving, though, she made sure to mess up his short hair, leaving it in a disheveled. 

state. 

Edward, now sporting a tousled, messy hairstyle, continued the meeting as if nothing had happened, completely calm and composed, 

But the small, indulgent smile that occasionally tugged at his lips gave away the affection he’d been trying to hide for 

years. 

The board members on the other side were trembling inside, silently thinking to themselves, “A man in love might actually be scarier than the cold, ruthless version.” 

At night, the two lay in each other’s arms, falling asleep together. 

After what felt like a lifetime, being back in Edward’s embrace gave Melody a surreal sense of disbelief. 

With her eyes closed, images from her past life flickered through her mind–scenes of how she had fiercely resisted Edward’s obsessive control. 

They had been married, yes, but they barely had any real time together. 

What’s more, their biggest wedge had always been Kenrick. 

But what had Kenrick really done? 

They had 

grown up together. 

Even before either of them had been brought back to their wealthy families, Kenrick had ived next door to the Tuckers. 

Although Martin and Kenrick were brothers, Martin had always kept her at a distance from Kenrick.

Even during their teenage years, when Kenrick excelled in school and took care of her in every way, shining so brightly with his achievements, all he got from Martin, who had already become a rising star in his own right, was a simple, “Mel, don’t get too close to him. He’s good, but he’s good to everyone. 

“He’s the kind of person who’s better as a friend, not a lover. 

“A walking central heater–warm to everyone.” 

But back then, she was too young to understand. She was touched when Kenrick, even after returning to the Paynes in Maycrest, still climbed over the fence of the Shield Residence just to see her. 

When she was desperately trying to please her biological parents, yet still couldn’t gain the Shield family’s approval, he cared for her just like he always had. 

That kind of tenderness was something she hadn’t been able to resist. 

That’s why, in her past life, she had been so easily swayed by Kenrick’s words. After marrying Edward, it only took a few sweet promises from Kenrick to convince her to run away with him, leaving Edward behind.
