Wild enthusiasts were those individuals who discreetly nurture endangered plants, herbs, and animals, often possessing a bit of wealth.
These affluent patrons protected rare species without needing any formal authorization.
This was the essence of giving back to the world after achieving success!
However, such individuals were uncommon, primarily belonging to established wealthy families,
Those with newfound wealth, caught up in the excitement of their riches, typically lacked the patience required for such endeavors.
Melody’s words gradually ignited a spark of appreciation in Truman’s gaze, yet he kept his cool facade and replied. “It’s merely a wild plant. There’s nothing extraordinary about it. Hmph… don’t flatter me!”
Truman then turned his back on Melody as he began to walk away.
However, just as he did, he raised an eyebrow and allowed a faint, indifferent smirk to escape..
As she observed Truman’s noticeably lighter step, Melody couldn’t help but smile.
Truly, like father, like son. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!
He’s just a middle–aged version of Edward! His proud demeanor is unmistakably familiar.
She shook her head in resignation and hurried to catch up.
Setting aside her other thoughts, her genuine interest in that Sylrien Orchidshone through.
With it, she could create an exceptional beauty cream, significantly elevating her project.
At the tea gathering. Truman took the lead while Melody strolled leisurely behind him.
Occasionally, he would stop, noticing that she had caught up, before quickening his pace once more.
Despite his short absence, the gathering buzzed with energy.
“That girl from the Jensons, even after her trip abroad, hasn’t forgotten her origins. Tea culture is steeped in history, requiring patience to appreciate fully. Nowadays, it’s increasingly rare to find young people who can sit down and enjoy tea with us older generations.”
“Exactly! I heard Amanda went abroad with Alfred three years ago; she seems to have a strong connection with the Moores…”
“Indeed! She was always following Edward around as a child. Now that she’s older, she’s developed some feminine charm, yet she still attended the same school as Edward. Remember how we joked with Truman about possibly gaining a daughter–in–law? He didn’t deny it!”
A group of distinguished professors and prominent figures from Sommerville admired a woman dressed in white, radiating elegance.

As Truman neared the garden entrance, he overheard this conversation.
They’re saying I didn’t deny something.
Didn’t deny what?
A chill ran down Truman’s spine as he glanced at Melody, who had quietly joined him.

She appeared calm, her bright, clear eyes seemingly unfazed by the chatter around them, looking as lovely as a porcelain doll.
Truman’s tense demeanor began to ease.
Hmm… she’s not impulsive; she maintains her composure.
So he stepped into the garden, clearing his throat: “Ahem, what didn’t I deny? You guys should stop talking.
nonsense
He walked closer while casting a sidelong glance at Melody, frowning as he urged, “Melody, why aren’t you coming in to greet the elders?”
The mention of “elders” caused everyone to freeze.
Is Truman acknowledging this lowborn foster daughter?
In a town like Sommerville, the news about Willard’s disabled eldest son getting a Fortune–Blessing Bride was common knowledge.
Back then, the high society ladies had all avoided him.
But no one had anticipated Edward to be able to stand again.
Consequently, everyone couldn’t help but think that this Fortune–Blessing Bride’s status was too low to match Edward, who was now completely healed.
However, looking at Truman’s stance, it seemed he was supporting the girl!
Could it be?
No way. Let’s confirm it!
Melody stepped into the garden with confidence, smiling, “Hello, everyone. I’m Melody, Edward’s wife.”
Brief and direct, she asserted her position.
