Chapter 275 What Could He Say Against That
“Don’t make me drink formula today, I’ve grown up and don’t need it anymore.
Little Spencer, chubby and cute, had a light blush on his cheeks.
At eight years old, he had just recovered from a cold that forced him to eat only liquid foods, so Melody had prepared some formula for him.
Little did she know he would hold a grudge over it for years to come.
Young Melody hugged the soft, pudgy Spencer and rubbed her cheek against his round face, laughing sweetly. “Spencer, you’re the best!
“I declare this unicorn plushie my favorite toy ever!”
Spencer stared blankly at the unicorn plushie resting on the couch, eventually kicking a stool in frustration and muttering,
“You said it was your favorite toy.
You silly girl, if you liked it so much, you would have remembered to take it with you….
He picked up the unicorn plushie and headed outside before hopping onto the motorcycle Martin had left at home. He then put on his helmet and sped off to the address Arnold had provided after he found the Tuckers.
He arrived late.
Parking a distance away from the Shields‘ entrance, he spotted Tyrell leaning against that old, rusty used car, smoking, looking quite faded.
Last night, they had a fierce argument.
It had gotten extremely heated.
Tyrell intended to return Melody to the Shields and then move the family away from Sommerville.
Neither he nor Martin wanted that; the three men nearly came to blows in the yard, somewhere Melody couldn’t see.
Eventually, Tyrell agreed that Martin could stay, but he had to establish his own strength within six months to protect himself.
And he had to go with Tyrell.
Since he was born and became aware of the world, he had known he was different from others; while others had mothers, he, Martin, and Melody did not.
Their father seldom spoke of their mother, merely telling them that he would find her some day.
Years slipped by.

For the first time, Tyrell revealed that they were not from Sommerville.
He was taking them back to their true homeland.
At that moment, Spencer passionately shot back, “Dad, what about Melody?
“Will she come home with us?”
Tyrell sighed, his eyes clouded with sadness.
“She will return to her own family.
“Spencer, our hometown is dangerous; we cannot take Melody with us.
“But we can come back for her later.

“Maybe in five years, maybe in ten. When you’re strong enough to protect yourself and her, then you can bring her back to your side.
Spencer felt a wave of realization wash over him, finally understanding.
Melody had to go back to the Shields; aside from that ancient Arnold insisting on it, Tyrell had also agreed
What could he say against that?
He was only 14.
He could only watch her leave with indifference, accepting the painful truth: Melody was originally named Zanna Shield.
They had never truly been a family….
Clutching the plushie, Spencer stood a short distance away, watching as Melody walked out with Martin, the two chatting happily.
Melody’s eyes were red from crying,
Spencer instinctively hid behind a tree while clutching the unicorn tightly, trying to avoid letting her see him.
Then, he heard Melody say, “Spencer is so good to me too.
Spencer remained hidden behind the tree, gripping the unicorn’s horn, sulking, “Hmph, who has been good to you?”
Later, Tyrell and Martin drove away.
Melody returned to the Shields as well.
Only then did Spencer step out from behind the tree, the unicorn plushie in his arms feeling like a hot
potato.
