Ken shrugged “The guests are already ordering We can’t just kick them out. We’ll sit further away?
in his words, it seemed as if he didn’t recognize Melody at all.
Melody couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed,
She thought Ken was the type who didn’t know what gentleness and consideration were, but it turned out he was just not gentle with her
And what did be mean by “sit father away“?
It was as if she and Wilmot were in their way
Melody frowned, rapping on the table to urge the waiter. “Please hurry up with the dishes in the kitchen
She just wanted to finish her meal, pay the bill, and leave, so as not to disturb
shich the handsome couple
However, although Ken said so, he chose a table right behind where Melody was seated, directly facing her, allowing him to see her every
move clearly.
After sitting down, Ken didn’t even glance at the menu and directly instructed the manager. “Bring us one of each of the restaurant’s Mgnature dishes.”
“Wes, please wait a moment,” the manager said with a sycophantic smile before leaving
Alter glancing at Melody, Janet didn’t pay her any more attention, assuming that Wilmot and Melody were just ordinary strangers.
She played with the cutlery, her fair nails moving slowly as she spoke. I don’t plan on going back after this trip. When are you leaving Silverlake to return to Insterimond?”
“Let’s talk about it later. Ken said nonchalantly, “You’ve just returned to the country, Lot’s not discuss work!
He was speaking to Janet, but his peripheral vision kept drifting towards the front.
Today, when Janet returned, he had actually booked a private barbecue restaurant, but for some reason, at the last second before he was about to leave for there, he changed his mind and ended up at the Pearl Revolving Restaurant, where he knew Melody was,
Coincidentally, this global chain of Western restaurants happened to be one of the projects he had invested in casually, which made many things much more convenient, such as clearing the restaurant of all other guests, except for Melody’s table
But despite his vigorous performance, Melody didn’t even spare him a glance, seemingly having a very enjoyable conversation with the man
at her table.
Alter Hen and Janet sat down, Melody didn’t pay any more attention to them

Janet’s return this time was actually because her family had started urging her to get married.
With her approaching her twenty–sixth year and seeing that led single, her family didn’t know that she and Ken had been partners for many years, and they couldn’t help but worry
She was only twenty–five and. Although she was a renowned
gher abroad, she couldn’t escape the fate of being urged to marry
In fact, Janet decided to return to her home country largely because of Ken
Although in the eyes of the people of Silverlake, Ken was a son of the Swanson family who would definitely be abandoned, as his partner, she knew very well that soon Ken would be famous all over the world, and it was just a matter of time.
In her eyes, she and Ken were the only ones who were worthy of each other
Before she returned to her home country, she had already investigated that there were still no women around Ken
As for the girl in front of her?
Hey, forget it.
She believed that Ken’s taste was not that bad
Although she vaguely felt that this girl’s attitude toward Ken was very unusual, the woman’s ugly appearance made Janet not want to regard
such a woman as an imaginary enemy at all.
She saw Ken seemingly not hearing the girl’s impolite words, only raising his eyebrows and asking “My friend and I are bored eating alone. If you don’t mind, would you like to share the table?“
When Melody was about to refuse, she heard Wilmot smilingly say, “Of course, it’s my honor to eat with you, please?
The dining table was originally a four–person table. Ken sat next to Melody first, Janet could only sit next to Wilmot and looked at Ken with a
face full of resentment.
Listening to Ken’s wards just now, this man was just a stylist. Was it worth them coming over to share the table!
But Ken had already sat down and started to call the manager to bring their dishes here again, and she could only chat with Melody with a
faint smule.
“Miss Fox, I see that you have an extraordinary temperament. I wonder which family can cultivate their daughter with such a temperament as
your
Melody shrugged. “I’m not a daughter of a wealthy family, nor do I have any temperament. I’m just an ordinary person who grew up in the
countryside since I was a child.”
Ken was slightly surprised
For any girl, growing up in the countryside should be a thorn in the heart, but Melody unhesitatingly exposed this thorn to everyone.
Was Melody really so silly that she didn’t care, or did she have an extremely strong heart?
Across the table, Janet was quite surprised, but in an instant, this surprise turned into contempt

The two men looked at each other and nodded, seemingly very harmonious on the surface.
But only they, as men, knew how many stormy waves were under the seemingly calm take
Men, after all, could tell what the other was thinking just by looking into each other’s e
But Wilmot never expected that a person ke Ken would also be interested in Melody
Was it because he had been with many pretty ladies and wanted to try new types, or was it just a man’s desire to win or lose?
No matter which point, Wilmot felt a bit disgusted
Emotion was the most precious thing and should not be seen as a game.
The sudden appearance of Ken and Janet made Melody, who was already not very hungry, even more tasteless.
She drank two glasses of water and finally couldn’t help but speak. “Mr. Sherman, I have to rush home later. How about I invite you to dinner another day?”
“Okay, I have to go back to the store. There are people from the show who want to talk about cooperation.”
Wilmot didn’t want to have too much contact with people like Ken either, stood up and said goodbye to Ken “Mr Swanson, please take your time. We’ll go first, and I’ll pay the bill today. Let’s consider it making a friend”
Ken snorted lightly and said, “Forget about the bill. I invested in this restaurant. If you don’t mind, you can come and eat often in the future
Wilmot insisted on paying the bill but was stopped by Melody on the side. “Then thank you, Mr. Swanson, Mr. Sherman, let’s go.” Melody tilted her head, indicating that Wilmot should leave with her.
Wilmot hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and left the table,
“Wait a moment.” Ken’s voice sounded again behind the two.
“We’re almost done eating, and since M

“Mr. Sherman, you are too polite. Miss Fox is currently treating my grandma, and I also want to ask some medical questions on the way.”
The two went back and forth, and Janot listened nearby, pursing her lips tightly.

“I called the driver,” Ken said in one sentence, directly blocking Janet’s words.
Janet’s face changed, and her already cold aura became even colder.
What was going on with Ken?
Ken said it to this point, and Wilmot had to turn his gaze to Melody, hoping s she would make a decision herself
“…” Melody paused, thinking about what might happen in the next few days, and still looked at Ken. “I’m sorry to trouble you
Wilmot was a bit surprised, but he didn’t show any dissatisfaction, only smiling!

“Then be careful
Before Melody could speak, Ken took the lead “Don’t worry, With me, Miss Fox will be fine. Mr. Sherman, you can go ahead and get busy”
Wilmot smiled stiffly and said, “Then I’ll watch you get in the car before I leave,
The four people went out of the door together.
Wilmot and Melody walked faster, and Melody was about to say goodbye to Wilmat when she heard Wilmot say in a low voice, “You may not know that Ken has a bad reputation since you just returned to Silverlake, I don’t know how you got familiar with him, but remember to be wary of him. He’s not a good person.”
Melody opened her mouth, subconsciously wanting to refute, but swallowed the words.
She knew that Wilmot said those for her own good.
But Ken… Although she was sure he was not a bad person, not everyone was like her, with the ability to know the future after being reborn, so she chose not to say anything. She just nodded slightly and said, “I know, thank you.”
