Melody chuckled and nodded, her voice light. “Of course. I’ll take good care of Eddie.
Inside the master bedroom, Melady attended to Edward, administering massages and applying essential oils to his body. After his bath, she emerged from the bathroom clad in a pristine white lace nightgown.
Observing her with a cool, discerning gaze, Edward spoke, his tone cutting. “Melody, Grandma isn’t here. Aren’t you tired of this charade?”
“Are you truly intent on sharing a bed with me tonight
Edward scrutinized the accounts Melody had transferred his funds into all belonging to YM Capital, a small but significant asset left by her brother Martin. He discerned her intentions: investing the money he had given her into business ventures rather than personal expenses.
“As your husband, is it not natural for us to share a bed? Melody retorted. “Must you persist in guarding your innocence?”

She moved with calculated steps, the contours of her youthful form accentuated by the delicate embrace of a white silk nightgown. As she stooped down, her curves held a subtle allure, coaxing Edward’s defenses to falter.
Edward offered a sardonic grin, his tone playful as he quipped, “If you desire the comfort of the bed, by all means, help yourself. You’re well aware… I cannot lay a hand on you.”
His gaze swept over her figure, devoid of any discernible emotion.

At the crack of dawn, Melody stirred from her slumber
Irritated by the lack of proper sleep, she was on the brink of unleashing her frustrations on someone.
“Mr. Moore has instructed that your attire must uphold the dignity and pride of the Moore family; hence, only garments of superior quality are deemed acceptable. The dressing room has been revamped to showcase a plethora of designs from top–tier brands, allowing you to select at your leisure
Caught off guard by the sudden change, Melody wrapped herself in a coat and hurried barefoot toward the dressing room.
A warmth swelled within her as she examined each item, admiring their elegance and allure.
A sensation unfamiliar to her stirred. Was this what it meant to be cherished by someone?
Her almond eyes gleamed with newfound delight as she changed into a luxurious red dress and hastened. to the study.
