Chapter 290 You Seduce Me
Melody could never forget the rumor that Edward was destined to live only to the age of 29. At first, the brushed it off as just talk.
But in the year he died in her previous life, the rumor came true, making her take it seriously.
As Edward lifted her arm to continue massaging his gaze drifted to Melody’s lips, softened and tinted by the mix. He leaned in, kissed her gently, and pulled back
With a slight swallow, he murmured. You just ke mahmm?”
Melody froze. After being reborn, her feelings for Edward had deepened.
She wanted to have him by her side, protect him, and be with him forever. Saying she merely liked him felt shallow, yer calling it love felt too intense
She couldn’t understand her feelings completely, but one thing was clear–she wanted to share her life with him and give him all she had
The idea of love had once scarred her so much that now, even the mention of it made her withdraw like a soil retreating into its shell.
Edward’s gaze swept over her hesitant expression, and a brief trace of sadness crossed his eyes
He continued massaging her in silence, his touch calming “If you like me, that’s enough,” he said softly,
His casual tone masked a quiet sadness, and Melody felt her heart squeeze
She didn’t want to see a proud man like Edward unable to fully receive love.
The god–like man shouldn’t be satisfied with the bare minimum of love.
She wanted to give Edward everything she could.
“Eddie, don’t downplay yourself. I’ll be with you for a lifetime
“I’ll give you the deepest love in this long life.”
She wrapped her arms around him as they shared the warmth of the water, looking into his eyes.
Edward took a deep breath, then gently pushed her aside, submerging himself in the water.
Melody watched red swirls bloom on the water’s surface–a blood–red flower, strikingly vivid, symbolizing
kind of love that, once kindled, could never be extinguished.
She was stunned and was about to move closer, but Edward held her back, standing still as the warm w trickled down his chest, more red blooms staining the water around him

After a moment, he sighed. “Mel, this pill’s effects were a bit much
“Next time, keep the dosage lighter.”

Although Edward wasn’t that weak, the pill’s strength was hard for him to handle.
Despite his nosebleed, he trusted Melody’s skill in medicine, feeling his energy slowly restored and his body’s flow of vitality reviving.
Melody raised an eyebrow, a glint in her eyes. “Edward, a nosebleed is a signal.
“You’ve been stressed, haven’t you? And there’s still the issue of your erectile dysfunction. Do you think I wouldn’t notice?
“This vitality boost pill cleared your meridians, unblocking old buildup.
“When it’s done flowing, you’ll be completely healed after a week.
“When the time comes, you can do anything you want with me… without holding back!”
Melody teased, stepping out of the tub and wrapping herself in a fresh bathrobe. She watched Edward, still bleeding and a bit disheveled, with a growing spark of excitement in her eyes.
Edward, regaining his usual cool, looked over at her mischievous grin, frowning unhappily.
“So this is your plan tonight–to seduce me again, huh? And just to get the effects of that pill?”
He couldn’t forget the last time Melody had lured him in, tempting him with that same, irresistible charm. But once she’d stirred up his desire, she’d pulled back, leaving him stranded and frustrated. He was truly tired of it
What bothered him even more was that each of her teasing games awakened real feelings in him, ones he could barely keep under control.
Melody blinked at him, her wide eyes feigning innocence. “Were you upset carlier?
“Be patient. By next week, we’ll finally be able to…”
Melody made an ambiguous gesture mischievously and playfully as she continued, “… enjoy ourselves.”
Edward glanced at her cheeky expression, uncertain if he could believe her words..
