Chapter 87
Jeremy had brilliant eyes. Although he had dark pupils, his eyes were in the shape of slits–long and narrow. His eyelids were thin, too. On top of that, there was a red nevus undemeath his right eye that looked absolutely striking.

Amrone who met his gaze would always feel their heart fluttering, being sucked i
Turning away, Melody lowered her gaze to look at her own fingers instead.
Meanwhile, Andrew adopted a gentle and warm expression. “Jeremy, Krys, you guys are back. Did you already have dinner?”
Krystal responded, “We did.”
“Didn’t you say that you might not come home because you have to deal with a patient in critical condition?”
Then, Jeremy calmly explained, “Dr. Tumer tookover the patient and asked us to go home first.”
“Stay around and catch a break, then. You drove Krys home, so you can use some rest.
Krystal also chimed in, “Please stay. I have something to discuss with you.”
Jeremy responded, “Okay.”
Melody stood next to them. She had to admit that he looked more like a part of the Wardolf family than she did now. At the same time, she stuck out like a sore
thumb.
Jeremy and Krystal went into the study, but Melody had to wait in the living room instead. She already had a chat group with Felicia and Jason, and a new message suddenly popped up.
Felicia asked, “Mel, are you attending the event organized by Green Moon Orphanage?”
“What is it about?” came Melody’s question

Jason chimed in. “It’s a charity event. It’s a challenge from a variety show. The celebrities will ha going to share the weekend together.”

Melody stopped replying to Felicia’s text after she read the latest one. She didn’t even dare to ask Jeremy to head to the orphanage with her..
She chatted with Felicia and Jason for a while before Jeremy and Krystal came out of the study. It was obvious that Krystal was elated.
Laura asked playfully, “What did you and Jeremy talk about, Krys? What made you this happy?”
Krystal glanced at Jeremy, and her smile faded. “It’s nothing.”
Denvin raised an eyebrow, “What’s the matter? Are you two keeping secrets now?
She protested, “If you know it’s a secret, then maybe you shouldn’t ask about it.”
Melody didn’t say anything. She turned sideways, not willing to look at how well they were getting along. This was the first time she realized that she was rather petty. After all, she could barely tolerate it when Jeremy and Krystal stood next to eachother.
Approaching Melody, he stood in front of her. He lowered his gaze and said nonchalantly, “Melody.”
When she looked at him, he spoke in a calm tone, “We’re heading home.”
“Okay,” she responded and got up to leave. When she arrived at the car, she habitually opened
