Reborn To Remarry My Ex Husband (Melody and Edward) novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334 Lilies of the Past 

Melody raised an eyebrow as Alfred walked into the study, carrying a bowl of vegetable consommé. “Alfred, I heard you studied computer science and international finance abroad?” 

The Mures had invested in Alfred’s education even more carefully than they had with Edward. 

After all, with Edward’s capabilities, Truman hardly needed to worry. 

Alfred, however, was a different story; he had been groomed by Truman personally, receiving special attention and care from a youne apo. 

Rumors about Truman favoring his youngest son weren’t entirely unfounded. 

“Whoa, Mel, how did you know? 

“Were you following me back then? That’s kind of embarrassing. Although, honestly, it makes sense–it would’ve been way. more likely for you to notice me than my brother. After all, he was quite old compared to the others in school.” 

Alfred’s confidence grew 

He placed the consomme on her desk and propped his hands on his cheerful face as he eagerly met Melody’s gaze. 

Alfred, in his casual clothes, tilted his head with a bright, youthful smile. 

His eyes sparkled and his straight, white teeth shone as he grinned. 

The boyish charm was disarming. 

Melody couldn’t help but study his face carefully. 

Despite being only half–siblings, Alfred’s and Edward’s facial features were strikingly similar. 

Yet, where Alfred still radiated innocence, Edward had an air of unfathomable pride and cool reserve. 

Edward’s fingers continued to fly across the keyboard. 

He didn’t even glance up as he ordered coolly, “Slap yourself twice. I’m too busy to deal with you right now.” 

Alfred sighed dramatically. 

True disappointment is often expressed silently. 

Melody chuckled, “Honey, you forgot–I’ve got plenty of time right now, and I’m more than happy to step in! 

“Actually, speaking of your brother, back in school, he was quite serious about wooing me. Every day, he’d leave a lily outside my dance studio, and when it rained, he’d trail behind Martin and me, holding a black umbrella to make sure I got home safely. 

“Martin told me that even though I was young and couldn’t reciprocate anyone’s feelings, I should still be grateful for genuine affection. So I took home every lily he left, and my brother planted them in the small garden outside our front door. Before long, the entire garden was filled with white lilies. It was beautiful,” 

Melody’s tone was calm, as though reminiscing about an old, almost forgotten memory from when she was 16. 

Everyone 

was still young then, and she had barely thought about romantic feelings. 

As she spoke, she was only struck by the effort Alfred had put into pretending to pursue her, even though his interest was only feigned. 

Alfred listened to Melody’s words, recognizing each individual word but failing to make sense of her story. 

He and Melody seemed oblivious to the fact that Edward’s typing had faltered. His fingers stilled, then resumed with a slight rigidity as he continued, though his gaze had drifted.
