“There’s no need to be this angry,” cooed Melinda with equanimity
Stanley held her shoulders tightly, roaring, “Melinda, I’m angry because I care for my kids! No one can ever use them against me!”
Staring right into his eyes, she inhaled a deep breath to cope with the pain. Meanwhile, a watching Gael felt the rush to quell the fight, but he did not know what to say
“I promise.” She compromised as infuriating Stanley was the last thing she wished for. “Let me go.”
A couple of moments later, he released her and headed upstairs.
“Are you not going to work?”
“No.”
The man’s figure vanished with one turn at the corner, and Gael attempted to explain. “Madam, Mr. Fox holds his family dearly. I hope you won’t take it to heart.”
“I think he’s being too emotional. He doesn’t trust anyone she commented softly.
When the afternoon came, Melinda entered the kitchen to concoct dinner single–handedly. Even though no one knew if Stanley would eat them, she prepared the meal. It eased Gael to see her effort as he held onto the hope that the couple would get closer.
The clock struck six in the evening. Samuel and Pamela headed to the study and knocked on the door..
“Daddy?” They slowly opened the door, which was left ajar with a narrow crevice, and scurried to the man by the desk. They appeared as adorable as ever.
Noticing the kids‘ arrival, Stanley stopped working as his countenance softened.
“Daddy, would you like to come down and have dinner?” Samuel pulled his hand while suggesting briskly. “Mommy’s been making dinner in the kitchen for an hour, and she has made a feast! Come and eat with us.”
Unlike Samuel, the timid Pamela stood a little farther from the desk with a smile. She could not, however, shift her gaze from her father due to his handsome looks
“Sure.” Stanley stood up and walked to her to carry her. Next, he held hands withnovelxo.com fast update Samuel with his free hand before they went downstairs.
Melinda was serving the food on the dining table alongside Sherry with an apron, which failed to mask the pure air of innocence around her. No outfit could shroud that distinctive aura of hers.
A wave of relief and rapture washed over Gael, for one was willing to prepare a meal whereas the other was willing to have dinner together. It was a wholesome scene to watch.
The chandelier beamed a sheen of light in the dining space.
After serving four plates of rice, Sherry left the dining room with Gael.
“Phew. I was worried that Mr. Fox wouldn’t come down.”

Melinda took a scoop, whereas Stanley and the kids seated themselves. Her eyes shone brightly. “Try this. Let’s see if you can swallow them. If you can’t, I’ll make you some spaghetti.”
It was not like she was trying to butter him off, but a harmonious vibe amongst the family was beneficial to a child’s upbringing.
Nevertheless, her attitude made Stanley feel somehow better Furthermore, the food was, miraculously, to his liking He ate a whole two serving portion and showed no signs of reflux.
It was his first time in a few years to have rice. Even he was astounded by that, hence the appreciation to be able to have such a great meal.
“Yay! We can race on who eats the fastest now, Daddy!”
Needless to say, a sense of achievement filled Melinda to the brim.
Darkness dyed the sky, and the same thing happened again. Samuel and Pamela came to the couple’s room to push Melinda into Stanley’s embrace in bed.
“Goodnight and sweet dreams. Remember–it is good for the kids when the parents share a good relationship,” reminded the kids. “We will go to the new school tomorrow together. Love you!”
Shrouded by the relaxed atmosphere, Melinda could not help but giggle at their mischief. “Good night, my sweethearts.”
“Good night.” Stanley followed suit.
