Melinda secretly chuckled and asked, “Did you come over just to ask me that?”
Stanley turned away haughtily. His expression was cold. “Are you coming back or not?”
“Nope,” Melinda lied. “Didn’t you see? Mr. Leroy injured his hamstring. I’ll have to check on him tomorrow. Also, as Sunnyvale’s community leader, I have to deal with the issue of safety tomorrow. I also have to teach those naughty kids a lesson.”
“Samuel got into a fight at school today,” Stanley informed with a dark voice.
“What?! Was it serious?!” Melinda was shocked and immediately grew anxious!
He didn’t respond. He simply stared at her and enjoyed the expression on her face.
She was so frantic that she grabbed his arm. “Come on! Why are you just standing there?! Why didn’t you tell me sooner?!” She was sorely tempted to bash his head in! Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Melinda dragged Stanley out and shoved him into the car.
Jaxon stood by the door with a hesitant expression.
Soon, the car sped off toward the city.
Lamborghinis were known for their speed, but even so, Melinda wished the car could fly instead! Her head was filled with concern for the children.
“Why did he get into a fight? Whom did he fight? Was he injured? Why didn’t you tell me sooner? You should’ve called me and told me about it!” Melinda was panic–stricken. “I would’ve gone over myself!”
“He called me and I went to his school to settle things.”
He had to settle things at the school? That means it had to have been extremely serious!
Melinda frowned as worry colored her expression. She was beside herself.
“Was it serious? Is he injured?”
Stanley didn’t respond. His dark eyes remained unreadable.novelxo.com fast update
Twenty minutes later, the Lamborghini pulled up in front of the villa at Emerald Harbor. Melinda scrambled out of the car and sprinted to the living room.
Meanwhile, Samuel was in the living room basking in the sunlight that shone in through the window as he dug into a plate of fruit and cheerfully recounted the whole incident to Gael. He shared the way Stanley had stood up for him at the kindergarten in great detail,
He was speaking so animatedly that his voice could be heard several rooms away.
“Samuel!”
The little boy turned around and his eyes sparkled. “You’re back, Mommy!” He jumped off the couch and ran over to Melinda in excitement, then took her hand and pulled her over to the coffee table.
“Mommy, a boy named Jacob Holt was bullying Pamela at school today, so I taught him a lesson! You have

no idea how arrogant he was…”

Melinda was speechless to find that her son was completely unscathed. Furthermore, he was reveling in his victory!
She had rushed over in a panic with her heart racing a mile a minute!
When she glanced at Stanley, she saw him standing by the door with his hands in his pockets and a look of complete innocence.
Before she could question him, he piped up, “He did get into a fight. I went to the kindergarten to settle everything.” It was as if he were trying to emphasize that he didn’t lie.
Melinda glared at him.
Stanley withdrew his gaze and walked upstairs with a relaxed expression. walked upstairs with a relaxed expression.
He could feel her sharp gaze on him still…
His lips curved up ever so slightly as he felt an inexplicable sense of joy.
“What’s wrong, Mommy?“”
Melinda snapped out of it. She took Samuel in one hand and hugged Pamela with the other. Thank goodness they’re alright.
Samuel filled Melinda in on the whole incident before saying in awe, “Daddy was so cool! He said he didn’t come to the school to try and reason with anyone and that he was there to stand up for his
children!”
Melinda’s anger dissipated a little when she heard that.
She stroked the children’s heads and declared, “No matter what happens, you must always remember to be brave. If someone bullies you in school, you can’t just take it lying down. If it happens once, it’ll happen again.”
The children nodded in understanding. “Yes, Mommy!”
“If someone attacks you first, you must retaliate,” Melinda instructed. “But, you must remember not to give them a fatal injury. You must watch out and don’t go too far, alright?”
“Don’t worry, Mommy. I still remember everything you told me!”
Gael had been standing by the side the whole time, and after listening in on the entire exchange, he was stunned by how tough and feisty Melinda was! Does anyone else educate their kids the same way?
Meanwhile, in a bathroom that took up over a thousand
square feet upstairs.
The maids filled the bathtub and hung up a clean bathrobe before retreating with a bow.
Stanley stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling window in the bathroom with a glass of red wine in his hand. He sipped the wine as he enjoyed the view of the sunset.
He stood tall and unmoving as his mind flickered back to the image of Melinda cooking for him… At last, he began to realize that she had made her way into his life…
