Reborn To Remarry My Ex Husband (Melody and Edward) novel Chapter 449

Chapter 449 Questions
Melody's question was serious, decisive, and unwavering. She had always been someone who repaid kindness, someone who remembered her debts.

When she had first entered the Shield family, she still vividly remembered the protection Arnold had given her. She had not forgotten how he had personally taught her acupuncture, never showing disdain for her ignorance.

She had once been deeply sentimental, yearning for familial love.

Tyrell's words when he sent her back to the Shield family had struck a profound chord in her then-fragile heart.

At that time, Melody had walked Tyrell and her "father" and "brother" to the gates of the Shield family's mansion.

Tyrell had placed a hand on the head of the 16-year-old girl and said with heartfelt gravity, "Mel, you are a child of the Shield family. I can't selfishly keep you by my side.

"Everyone has their own family, and they are the most important people in your life. They will love you just as I and your brothers have, because blood ties cannot be severed. Just like me … I'm still searching for your 'mother.'

"Love is the foundation of everything. I believe that you are so well-behaved that everyone in the Shield family will love you as much as I do."

Melody had stood still, feeling like a lonely, fragmented island cut off from the mainland. Around her stretched a vast, endless ocean, deep and unyielding. She was terrified.

But everyone told her, "Don't worry, you're an island, and the ocean will naturally embrace you."

She had also understood why Tyrell had sent her back to the Shield family while keeping Martin and Spencer with him.

It was because of the blood ties.

In the end, she wasn't Tyrell's biological daughter.

Sixteen-year-old Melody, with her clear, innocent almond eyes shimmering with tears, had looked up at Tyrell and nodded obediently.

"Dad, I'll behave. I'll be good," she had said softly.

Tyrell had frowned slightly, his hand pausing as it ruffled her hair.

Worried that his words might have been too harsh, he quickly added, "But you don't need to be too good. If you're ever wronged, go to Arnold.

"He's the one who personally acknowledged you as part of the family. He'll protect you."

He must protect you.

Now, Melody stood directly in front of Arnold, finally asking the question that had been weighing on her heart for so long.

She had severed all ties with the Shield family. Her only reason for returning to celebrate the family head's birthday and acknowledge Arnold was a lingering desire for the familial love he embodied.

But just moments ago ...

Hearing Arnold's familiar, gentle, and doting voice on the other end of Suzanna's phone call had shattered everything.
