His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 54: Do Not Eat Sweet Food 

Everyone stared in awe as they watched Melody and Seth walk together inside the restaurant.

The overall ambiance of the restaurant was the same as how it looked on the outside.

It was very elegant and unique.

You could even hear the cascading water from the artificial waterfall displayed in the restaurant.

Seth reserved the largest private room for them.

It was surrounded by elegant but minimalistic designs, and a huge round table was placed in the middle.It could almost pass as an entire restaurant.

"What do you want to eat?" Seth asked and handed the menu to Melody.

Melody only glanced at the menu.She rested her chin on the table and placed her chin on her palm.She sighed.She seemed to look a bit tired.

Seth's eyes darkened as he stared at her for a long time.Then, he shook his head and let out a long breath.

"Okay, I'll order for us.After we finish eating, we'll find a place for you to rest, '' He said in a low voice.

Melody didn't object at all.She wasn't really in the mood to order food, so she just let him choose whatever he wanted.

If she won't like the food he chose, then she won't be eating them.

Simple.Seth only ordered a few dishes since it was only the two of them.He ordered three simple dishes and a soup.

Melody looked at the food served in front of them.

The first dish was shrimp pasta, and the second one was a rib-eye steak.

Seth also ordered a red lobster.

Melody could feel the churning of her stomach as she stared at the appetizing food.

Without any hesitation, she grabbed her utensils and started eating.

Both of them ate in silence.

Seth wasn't the talkative type, so he remained quiet all the time.

Melody seemed to enjoy eating quietly, too.

Seth picked up a lobster and twisted its tail and body, peeling it to take the meat out.

He grabbed the meat using his fork and without saying anything, he put it on Melody's plate.

"Try it,'' he told her.

Melody raised her head and looked at him who continued to peel the lobster.She smirked.

The lobster looked very delicious.

It looked like it had been basked in butter and herbs.

However, there was a lobster shell outside of the lobster meat that Seth didn't notice.

So even if Melody liked to eat it, she wouldn't want to touch it.

Now, this man had patiently peeled the lobster shells for her.

She would naturally enjoy it if it wasn't for the lobster shell that was still on the meat.

Austin, who was standing not far from them, saw what his boss did.

He stared at Seth in disbelief.

First, his boss opened a car door for a woman, which was something he had never done before.

Maybe he was just trying to be a gentleman.But peeling seafood and serving them to her? What was that all about?

'Is he in love?' Austin thought.

Melody put down her fork and knife together at the side after finishing the food on her plate.

She leaned her back against the chair, trying to stifle a yawn.Seth kept on glancing at her.He didn't miss the sleepy look in her eyes.

'This girl is really something.I can't figure her out at all.How much food did she even eat?"

He pondered as he looked at Melody.

"Are you finished? Let's go now.' Seth asked as he wiped his lips with a napkin.

He stood up immediately.

Melody stood up and followed him.

However, Seth didn't walk to the restaurant's exit.

Instead, he lead Melody through a private corridor and entered another courtyard.

Melody's eyebrows knitted in confusion as she scanned her surroundings.

Austin opened the door for them casually, as if he was already familiar with the place.

When they entered the room, Seth lead Melody to the second floor.

He opened the door of a room and turned around.He tilted his head as he looked at Melody and gestured inside.

There was an unreadable expression written on his face.

Melody furrowed her eyebrows as she stared at Seth.She was trying to figure out what he was trying to do.He wanted her to go inside the room, and they were alone together.But Melody wasn't scared of him.Also, she was certain that Seth won't do anything stupid to her.She walked straight into the room.

The main colors of the room were white, black, and gray.

It looked minimalistic and clean, which definitely seemed like the style of Seth.

After surveying the design of the room, Melody turned around and looked at Seth, still wearing the same confused face she had since earlier.

She raised her eyebrow and waited for him to speak.

"This is a private residence of mine.The housekeepers clean this every day.They also change the bed sheets regularly” He explained.

Seth gestured to the bed and looked at Melody.

He took slow steps towards her and leaned near her ear.

"Go to sleep now.I'll go back to work” He whispered.

Melody took a step back and glared at him coldly.

This man was really boring.

Still, Melody decided to follow Seth's advice.

She lied down on the bed and closed her eyes, trying to get the sleep she had been wanting since her exhausting meeting ended earlier that day.Melody was sleeping too comfortably and peacefully on the bed.

Her body was buried under the sheets, and her arms were hugging a pillow.

If people would witness her like that, they wouldn't know that Seth was there with her.

Just like what he said, Seth settled himself on the sofa and took out his laptop to check some documents.

He was typing on the keyboard lightly, trying not to make any noise so Melody wouldn't be disturbed in her sleep.

Time passed slowly and quickly.

Melody woke up at half-past one in the afternoon.

Yawning, she sat up slowly and stretched her arms.

The room was awfully quiet.

There wasn't any movement from anyone at all.

It felt like she just woke up in the morning.

However, Melody realized that she was already late for school.

The time she spent on sleeping was supposed to be the time she needed to get to her school.

Even Seth was a little surprised by Melody's body clock.

If a person could really adjust their body clock to such a precise state, then that person was surely extraordinary.

Seth looked at her in awe and disbelief.

"You're awake?" Seth asked carefully, his voice was low and deep.

Melody never liked hearing noises or sounds whenever she would wake up from her sleep.

However, it surprised her that she never felt annoyed by Seth's voice.

She just found his voice too pleasant to the ears.

Seth quietly looked at her.

The afternoon sun was beaming brightly outside.

The sunlight was able to get through the curtains and hit Melody's snow-white skin.

It made her skin look more delicate and smooth.

Seth blinked rapidly as if he was fascinated by it.

After a while, Melody slowly stood from the bed.

Seth immediately grabbed a glass of warm water and handed it to her.

Melody didn't refuse.She took it from his hand and drank it all in one gulp.

Her movements were smooth and precise.

Melody let out a long breath after finishing the glass of water.

She gave it back to Seth.

"Let's go!" She instructed coldly.

She didn't wait for his reply.She quickly walked out of the room with her usual stoic expression.She didn't even bother to check if Seth was following her or not.

Seth looked at the empty glass in his hand and smiled softly.

"Wow, you've improved.At least you know how to not refuse or dismiss me now” He said.

Melody immediately went inside Seth's car and asked Austin to drive to her school.

Austin nodded his head and started driving.

When they reached their destination, Melody grabbed the car door's lock to go out and leave.

However, a hand grabbed her arm, making her pause.

She looked at their hands briefly and turned around to glance at Seth.

There was a hint of annoyance in her gaze.

This man seemed to be more and more shameless and comfortable with her.

Melody glared at him.

She already convinced herself that if he won't give her a valid reason, she would teach him a lesson and let him know that he wasn't supposed to touch any girl's hand whenever he wanted.

Unfazed by Melody's deadly look, Seth grabbed her wrist with one hand and pulled out a box from a drawer beside her.

"Here!" Melody looked down.

It was a box of chocolates.

It’s box was wrapped beautifully, and it looked expensive. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

However, Melody scowled at him.

"I don't like eating sweets,'' she pointed out coldly.

Melody didn't have a sweet tooth.She never liked eating candies or chocolates.

Seth stared at Melody's face carefully, his eyes were filled with amusement and gentleness.

"Don't worry, it's not sweet.You can eat some when your blood sugar is low,' He uttered softly.Melody frowned at him again.How did this man know that she has low blood sugar? As if he knew what she was thinking, Seth smiled at her softly.

"If you don't go now, you'll be late"

He teased and glanced at the almost empty school entrance.

Melody nodded her head.She took the chocolate box from Seth's hand and shook it softly.

"Thank you.Bye," She said in a monotonous voice.

She opened the car door and ran towards the school.The idea of teaching him a lesson had completely gotten off her mind.
