Chapter 69
Roderick said, “You’ll know when you arrive at the police station. Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I will be there for you, Mela.”
No matter what Melanie said, Roderick seemed calm and carefree.
Roderick continued, “Mela, she still got Michael. There must be nothing serious. Don’t worry too much about her. Okay?”
Hearing Roderick’s words, Melanie was suddenly reminded of Michael!
Yes, Michael should be with Angie! If anything bad happened to Angie, Melanie. wouldn’t allow Michael to get awa
with it!
Even if something bad really happened to Angie, Michael must be involved with it
too.
If Michael dared to make Angie take the blame, Melanie would definitely punish him!
After relaxing a little, Melanie found that Roderick kept holding her hand since they got into the car.
What was more, Melanie was held in Roderick’s arms!
No wonder Melanie felt feverish all over!
Roderick and Melanie were very close to each other!
Melanie quickly sat up straight and tried to stay away from Roderick but she couldn’t break free from his hands.
Melanie said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I was in such a hurry just now. Can you let me go now?”
Melanie was a little flustered and her words became incoherent.
Every time she looked into Roderick’s eyes, she felt nervous.
Roderick said, “It doesn’t matter, Mela. My arms are reserved only for you!”
Melanie was bewildered hearing his casual and affectionate confession.
Melanie said, “Will you, will you stop talking like this?”
Melanie glared at Roderick.
Roderick said, “I’m simply telling you the truth. Mela, don’t you want to hear the truth?”
He was still smiling and he sounded sincere.
Roderick’s question made Melanie blush.
Melanie felt her face burning in embarrassment. She didn’t know what to say. She wondered whether she preferred the truth from him.
Melanie coughed drily.
She thought, ‘Even if I want to hear the truth, I don’t necessarily want it from you.”
But Melanie didn’t know what to say so she kept silent!
Her hand was still firmly held by Roderick..
Melanie said, “Let go of me. Why do you keep holding my hand?”
Roderick said, “I’m sick, Mela. It’s such a long journey from Beloris to Kdeal. If you don’t let me hold your hand, what should I do?”
Roderick looked aggrieved and even his voice sounded pitiful.
Melanie has no other choice.
Melanie thought, ‘All right, all right! For the sake of your illness, I’ll let you hold my hand. Anyway, I won’t get pregnant because of it!”
Roderick said, “Thank you, Mela!”
Roderick smiled and got closer to Melanie!
Their postures now were very weird.
Roderick and Melanie sat side by side, holding hands. Melanie’s arms were crooked because she was trying to stay away from Roderick as much as possible.
Roderick not only held her hand but also kept staring at her.
He acted as if Melanie was an invaluable treasure and he could never be tired of staring at her.
Melanie didn’t know what to do about him. She wanted to withdraw her hand but Roderick was holding it too tightly.
She had to look away in embarrassment and look out of the window, avoiding eye contact with Roderick.
Their postures were still weird and the atmosphere was still awkward. Although they were sitting in a top–class luxury car, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Melanie thought silently, ‘Ah! What did I do to deserve this?
‘Why is Kdeal so far away?
“When will we arrive there?
‘When I get back from Kdeal, I must avoid being in the same car as Roderick again. It is too horrible.”
Thinking about this, Melanie cursed Angie a thousand times in her heart!
Melanie complained in her heart, ‘My goodness! Angie, you have so many choices. but why Kdeal?
‘And why did you make yourself end up in the police station?‘
Melanie felt really tired!
She thought her body was twisted like a pretzel by someone else!
Melanie twisted her waist outward to keep away from Roderick!
To avoid eye contact with Roderick, she twisted her neck outward too!
Melanie couldn’t stand it anymore. “Are you tired of it?”
But at the same time, Roderick asked with a smile, “Are you tired, Mela?”
They spoke at the same time. Melanie turned around and looked into Roderick’s affectionate and pretty eyes. She began to flush again.
Melanie couldn’t stand it anymore. “I’m tired. How about you let go of me?”

Roderick said, “I won’t be tired as long as I am holding you in my arms!” As he spoke, he grabbed Melanie’s arm and hugged her tightly.
Despite Melanie’s struggle, he pressed her head against his chest.
Roderick said, “Get some rest. I know you didn’t sleep well last night!”
Melanie said, “Let go of me! I can sleep on my own.”
Melanie grabbed Roderick’s arm around her waist but she couldn’t shake off it.

Roderick said, “It won’t be as cozy as being held in my arms. Have you forgotten what happened last night?”
Roderick held Melanie tightly in his arms, ignoring her struggle.
Melanie smelled a refreshing fragrance surrounding her.
She felt the hot air that Roderick breathed out on her face when he spoke and she felt her face burning.
She was agitated and ashamed and wondered why Roderick still dared to mention what happened last night.
Melanie said, “Last night? Don’t ever mention it again. I slept alone last night, okay?”
Roderick said, “Yes, yes. Mela, you slept alone. I just carried you to your bedroom!”
Hearing this, Melanie felt her whole body burning in embarrassment.
Melanie wanted to refute Roderick’s words but she didn’t know how to do it!
She thought Roderick was too mean because he deliberately talked about things. that would embarrass her.
Roderick said, “You sound like you’re not happy about sleeping alone. Do you want me to sleep with you tonight?”
Hearing this, Melanie became furious!
