Alfred showed up at the tea banquet after ensuring that Timothy was on a ventilator and not in any immediate danger.
Three years had gone by.
To everyone around them, his relationship with Edward was quite fragile, and even his grandfather tried to keep him from seeing Edward.
However, upon seeing Edward, he sensed no animosity from him, which cased his heart a bit.
At the tea banquet, Melanie noticed Edward guiding Melody toward the corridor, her phoenix–shaped eyes slightly lifted at the corners, giving her a somewhat languid appearance.
Truman swiftly grabbed the fan from Melanie’s hand to help her cool down, a smile spreading across his
face.
“Melanie, aren’t you excited to have Edward back at Regal Glade?
“Last year, you were eager to arrange a birthday celebration for him at Regal Glade, weren’t you?”
Though Edward didn’t seem to care for it at all.
In fact, he had entirely dismissed outside visitors at that time and consistently ignored Melanie, Mrs.
Moore.
Naturally, he wouldn’t accept any of her proposals.
However, since Melanie mentioned it, it appeared she also cared about Edward.
Even though she was a stepmother, she had been there to see Edward grow up.
Melanie cast her gaze downward, lightly tapping her slender, delicate fingers against the handrail of the sandalwood chair.
The enchanting woman raised her eyebrows, appearing upset. “He won’t appreciate it in the slightest.
“To him, it’s likely that I and Alfred are to blame for his crash; he must really dislike me.
“Didn’t you notice how he just accused me regarding Melody? I let her beat Amanda to vent her now it’s all backfired on me
anger.
but
“It’s truly challenging to be a stepmother!”
Melanie spoke with a touch of hurt in her voice.
Three years prior, Edward was involved in a plane crash.
Everyone believed that she and her son were responsible, and even her son, whom she had raised with great care, was sent away by Benedict without hesitation.
She had spent three years alone at Regal Glade.

As she continued speaking, her expression grew even more sorrowful.
Noticing that his wife was upset, Truman worried she might recall the scandalous and troubling events of the past, so he quickly wrapped her in his arms to soothe her. “It’s okay, Melanie; that’s all behind us now.
“Eddie has matured; there are some things he can handle and look into on his own.”
“Regarding the accident three years ago, it was intentional, but the person who was involved…”
Truman’s gaze turned serious, and he fell silent.
Noticing his complex expression, Melanie wisely chose not to press further.
Since becoming part of the Moores, she had learned that many dark secrets existed within this mansion, and her ability to manage them relied on her skills.
Reflecting on this. Melanie’s thoughts were filled with Melody’s cold, rational, and piercing gaze.
This girl was quite sharp,
She was also far more fortunate than Melanie had been in her youth.
However, in the expansive Regal Glade, if she wanted to secure her position fully, it would depend on her skills and tactics.
And… how far Edward would be willing to go to safeguard her.
Edward had just started when he was interrupted. He first softly patted the little girl’s head to reassure her.
Then, he gently pressed Melody’s head into his coat before glancing at Alfred, who wore a look of curiosity.
Frowning, he turned to him and said through clenched teeth, “Alfred, after spending three years abroad, is this all you’ve picked up?”
What does cheating mean?
He hadn’t spent even half a day showing affection to Wify, and it left him feeling a bit uneasy.
Those who are single don’t grasp this feeling.
Alfred watched his eldest brother, Edward, holding the girl closer in front of him, and his brows couldn’t help but knit together.
Oh no!
Has Edward’s romantic image just shattered?
Didn’t he marry his childhood sweetheart?
How could he move on so quickly?

Melody furrowed her brows slightly, sensing that the boy’s voice sounded familiar.
