As soon as Alfred finished his statement, Truman playfully smacked him on the head and chastised, “Alfred, do you think so highly of yourself?
“You actually have an eye for Melody; that shows you have good taste. But remember, she is your sister–in- law–keep your hands off her!
“If you invested even half the energy into finding a girlfriend that you do into gossiping, you wouldn’t have spent three years abroad without a decent woman by your side!”
Alfred bristled at the remark. He was just 17 when he was sent overseas.
If he’d had a girl around him. Truman would have likely flown himself overseas and given him a good. beating
As for why he hadn’t dated after turning 18…
Alfred’s gaze drifted momentarily, a proud and dazzling figure flashing in his mind.
That woman, at such a young age, confidently walked in striking red high heels, effortlessly navigating the dazzling chaos of high society…
Yet, there was a palpable sense of loneliness that seemed to surround her.
She thrived on her own, gliding through life as if nothing could disrupt her peace.
But as time passed, she grew disenchanted with Regal Glade and didn’t want to see him anymore.
That fleeting vision faded like smoke..
Alfred snapped back to the present, casually tossing a playful wink at the woman nearby, flashing a grin as he said, “Dad, you really don’t know, do you?
“I started pursuing Melody back in high school.
“I just didn’t expect that while I was away, she’d become my sister–in–law the moment I got back….
“I’m still reeling from that shocking turn of events; how could I possibly be interested in anyone else?
“Honestly, it’s either Melody or I’m destined to be a lonely bachelor forever
At 20, Alfred was still youthful and carefree, exuding a charming air that was refreshing and unconventional.
His candid confession was both endearing and sincere
Truman facepalmed, bursting Alfred’s bubble. “Then you’d better be single for life!”
Alfred was too stunned to speak.
It seems like Dad is truly upset; he even said I should be single forever.

Melanie raised an eyebrow, regarding Alfred with newfound curiosity. Alfred actually has deep feelings for Melod
Perhaps that was why he mentioned wanting to win her over as his girlfriend today!
But… it’s not completely out of the question.
But I don’t think he can handle the Moores‘ wealth even if I offered it to him.
Melody is clearly a determined woman, clever and resourceful
Can Alfred really match her?
Melanie sighed, releasing her hold on Melody’s hand, her brow furrowing in exasperation as she said, “Forget it, Mel. Don’t pay attention to his nonsense.
“Trust me, he’s not good enough for you.”
Melanie was somewhat realistic about her own son..
She feared he wouldn’t be able to get part of the inheritance, let alone compete for women.
She didn’t want him to get in trouble because of Edward.
It was more important to keep him alive.
“Mom?”
Alfred thought, My mom isn’t on my side anymore!
Melanie raised an eyebrow, growing slightly impatient
“Shut up!”
Speechless, Alfred mused, The day after coming home my mom’s love just vanished!
No worries; I still have my dad.
Alfred turned to Truman, who was about to slip away, and whined like a child, “Dad!
“Did you hear what Mom…
Truman continued walking, leaving behind a cool silhouette.
Alfred thought, Gosh, does nobody care about me now?
Why am I feeling like an orphan when both my parents are still alive?
