Chapter 79
Melanie hurriedly held Ethan and Elias who rushed to her in her arms.
Then, she observed her surroundings.
Surprisingly, she saw neither the three luxury cars in line nor the line of guards in black coats, let alone the smiling man.
Melanie breathed a sigh of relief, but then she felt a little uncomfortable.
“Why are you here? Do you miss Mommy?” Melanie kissed Ethan and Elias happily.
“Yes. I didn’t see you last night, so I even couldn’t fall asleep,” said Elias.
“Really? Do you want to sleep with Mommy tonight?” Melanie said with a good temper.
“Okay, Mommy. I also want to sleep with you just like Elias.”
“Okay. Let’s share my bedroom.”
After she happily took Ethan and Elias into the house, she found something different.
The courtyard and the hall were decorated with various flowers and plants, each. full of vitality, making people happy at first sight.
In fact, like her mother, Melanie had been very fond of flowers since childhood.
She liked flowers very much whether they were expensive or ordinary.
When she was on the island, the courtyard of her house brimmed with flowers and plants.
In her spare time, she would like to tend to those plants with gardeners.
But now she was busy with various things every day after she went to Zerivia, and she didn’t plan to live in Zerivia for a long time, so she had no intention of growing plants there.
As Melanie was enjoying flowers, she looked up and saw Gary coming.
“Hello, Gary. Look at these flowers. You’ve done a great job.”
She smiled again when Gary hesitated to say something.
“Thank you, Gary. But this place is different from the island. Although I like them, you’d better not grow too many plants here. Later, no one will take care of them.”
However, Gary said merrily, “Ms. Robertson, you’ve always liked plants. I know you’ve been in a bad mood recently. I want to cheer you up.”
“Thanks, Gary. The work must have troubled you a lot. You should have had a good rest.”
Seeing Gary’s puzzled face and the smirks of Ethan and Elias, Melanie realized she misunderstood something.
“Who did on earth bring those flowers, Gary? Sam said you worried I wouldn’t go home because the room was not well–decorated. So…”
While Melanie was talking, she saw Roderick come in with a smile.
“Hello, Mela.”
Seeing this guy, Melanie had a bad feeling that she seemed to have thanked the wrong person just now.
Sure enough, Gary beamed when he saw Roderick come in.
“Mela, Mr. Lambert is worried that it’s not good for your health to live in the office. So, he decorated this place to make you live here more comfortably.”
After saying that, Gary looked at them with a smile and then left with his face smiling.
Only then did Melanie realize that what Sam said in the car was to prevent Melanie from getting out of the car and slipping back to the office when she knew there was an unexpected guest in her house.
She was speechless.
She thought, ‘How could these guys be bribed by Roderick one by one?”
“You…”
Μ
Melanie didn’t know what to say when she saw the smiling man in front of her.
“Do you like them? If not, I’ll change some new types for you.”
Melanie didn’t favor this idea.
Melanie looked at the precious flowers and plants in this courtyard speechlessly.
–
As soon as Roderick finished speaking, a middle aged woman in her forties appeared, dressing like a servant.
Melanie recognized her at a glance. She was Kate Hawkins, a gardener working in the Lambert Manor.
“Mela, from now on, Kate will stay here to help you take care of these flowers and plants. Don’t worry. You needn’t to tend to them by yourself. Just enjoy their beauty.”
Melanie didn’t know how to reply.
Ethan and Elias held Melanie’s hand while grinning and said, “Mommy, let’s have a look at your bedroom. Daddy asked someone to change its layout. It looks so beautiful.”
Melanie was a little furious when she heard that this man entered her bedroom.
She thought this guy was so annoying, who not only messed up the hall and courtyard of her house but also entered her bedroom without her permission.
One’s bedroom was a private place. No one should walk into it casually.
Melanie gave Roderick a warning look and hurried to her bedroom.
Seeing everything in the bedroom, her anger was dampened.
There was no denying that the bedroom decorated under Roderick’s instruction satisfied her.
The dresser and the bed were as usual.
Melanie breathed a sigh of relief and thought that Roderick didn’t screw Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

1. up.
On the balcony, there were several kinds of flowers easy to grow indoors. The small and delicate succulents and hoya carnosa were Melanie’s favorites.
There was even a small pot of rosemary on the nightstand.
Rosemary helped improve sleep quality. Last time she said in the Lambert Manor that she didn’t sleep well.
She wondered if Geoffrey told Roderick about her sleep problem.
Melanie remembered that Geoffrey suggested Roderick accompany her when she couldn’t sleep well, and she became flushed.
This guy was really annoying.
She couldn’t lose her temper even though Roderick broke into her bedroom and changed its appearance.
It was unbelievable that everything was fine with her.
As Melanie was pondering, Roderick came over.
“What are you doing here? This is my bedroom.”
“Mela, I’ve told you that from now on I’ll follow you wherever you are. Tonight, I’ll stay in the next room.”
Melanie’s head buzzed when she heard about the news.
She hurriedly rushed to the room next to her bedroom with her mouth hanging
open.
The vacant guestroom had been redecorated. The walls were painted gray, blue, and white, giving people a sense of calmness. Obviously, it was renovated into a man’s bedroom.
What was even more irritating was that there was a photo of Melanie on the nightstand.
