Edward’s face was dark with anger, his usually calm nature pushed to the edge by Melody.
He was about to kick this chatterbox out when, suddenly, a cool, soothing feeling touched his hot face.
The burning face was suddenly soothed by a cool feeling. Melody moved closer to him and gently placed the ice–wrapped handkerchief on his cheek.
“Eddie, does it still hurt?”
She gently held his face with one hand and used the other hand to use ice to reduce the swelling from the slap marks on his face.
The ice touched his skin, easing the burning pain.
But as the ice melted, the water droplets slowly trickled over the scars on his face.
Edward’s expression changed. He grabbed Melody’s hand and said in a hoarse voice, “It doesn’t hurt anymore.
“I can do it myself.”
The scars on his face were not easy to fall off with water, but the cold temperature made the gel easy to fall off.
Melody frowned, knowing how strong her slap was and insisted. “No, you need to apply ice for a bit longer to reduce the swelling.”
Edward tried to pull away, but Melody firmly pressed him back into the wheelchair and tilted his chin up.
“Mr. Moore, are you being disobedient?
“Just so you know, I can’t guarantee when your impotence or your leg will improve.”
Her words hit Edward hard.
He had so many important things to do and needed to get back on his feet quickly.
Soon, the melting ice caused water droplets to cover the scars on his face.
The scars seemed to shift slightly.
The mark that extended from his brow to his jawline began to slowly move downward with

the cooling water.
Melody, intrigued, leaned in and hesitated, reaching out to touch the moving scar.
“Mr. Moore!

“Old Mr. Moore has instructed that you need to bring the new madam to the Regal Glade next week.”
“And the Mr. Alfred is coming back from abroad.”
At that crucial moment, Bernard knocked on the door.
The burly man moved swiftly and gracefully into the room, and nodded seriously.
Bernard thought, Phew! My salary’s safe!
Edward took advantage of the moment to free himself from Melody’s delicate grip on his chin and held her hand to prevent her from suddenly reaching out again.
Edward listened to Bernard’s words with a blank expression, as if he didn’t care at all.
But his eyes betrayed a brief of emotion.
He pulled Melody’s other hand, which was still holding the ice, closer.
“Why is your hand still so red?
“Slapping me, and you end up hurting yourself too?”
His tone was lightly mocking, but Melody sensed a hint of concern.
She came back to her senses and noticed her own hand was also throbbing with pain.
The impact had been mutual.
After hours of embroidery and then slapping both Suzanna and Edward, her hand felt sore and weak.
Pouting in frustration, she said, “Eddie, it still hurts.
“It needs to be massaged.”
Edward paused for a moment, then shot a cold glance at Bernard.
Bernard quickly turned around obediently.

With a serious face, the hands that were originally going to massage Melody covered the girl’s soft, fair cheeks and squeezed it hard.
“Punishment for being disobedient.
Melody’s face flushed with anger.
Edward was just too unwilling to take any loss!
“Edward, you’re done for! You’re sleeping naked tonight!
“And I’ll hold you in my arms!”
Edward frowned and pinched her cheek again with a stiffened expression.
Tsk, it’s so soft.
What on earth could make such a soft, sweet little girl have barbs all over her body?
Bernard thought to himself, Is this something a worker like me should hear?
Edward held Melody down just as she was about to get angry again.
His voice was deep and magnetic as he began to gently massage her fingers. “Melody, when we go back to the Regal Glade next week, be as bold and aggressive as you are now.”
Melody pouted, thinking, When have I been bold and aggressive?!
But she did remember that Edward’s family was complicated.
He was the eldest legitimate son and the first legitimate grandson of the family.
Aside from Edward and his younger sister Felicity…
