His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 183: Annoying People



Chapter 183: Annoying People 

The Harrison Family and the Sullivan Family were linked through marriage.

Seth and Melody were engaged due to the arrangement of Grandpa Alistair.

Iven, who was currently on the front seat, couldn't contain his laughter when he heard it.

"Hahaha! Mr.Harrison is such a competent fiance." He bowed in respect while still chuckling.

"You are so obedient to your elders’ wishes.No wonder you're regarded as a good role model for us young people.Let me learn from you, master!"

Seth huffed in annoyance and lifted his leg to kick the back of Iven's chair, causing the poor guy to suddenly lunge forward.

Iven immediately shut his mouth and apologized, "Okay, okay, I'll shut up now.I am wrong, I shouldn't have said anything."

Iven said as he sighed in defeat.

Once Iven was done talking, Seth glared at him, still annoyed at the man.

Melody immediately replied, "No, it's okay."

She added, "I'm really not that close to the Sullivan family.You don't need to go with me, besides, I think it'll be more embarrassing if you come."

That simple sentence explained everything.

Seth understood Melody’s relationship between her and the Sullivan family.

During her childhood days, she was sent to the countryside.

She only returned to the Sullivan family when she turned eighteen.

Naturally, she didn't have much contact with the main Sullivan household, nor was she close to them.

And since she didn’t think that the Sullivan family was not that important, he also thought he didn't need to concern himself with them.

When evening came the next day, Melody was finally done with her classes.

Suddenly, Reagan walked towards her and blocked her way.

Melody wondered what was going on since Reagan usually avoided her because she didn't want to have anything to do with her. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Melody also stopped walking and nonchalantly placed her hands in her pockets as she looked at Reagan indifferently.

Reagan didn't wait for Melody to talk and spoke.

"Did Daddy already inform you? Tonight is Grandma's birthday, you have to attend.Understand?"

Melody sighed in frustration, a hint of impatience and annoyance flashed across her face.

Earlier during lunch break, Quince also called her about it.

She already told Quince she would attend but now another annoying person was pestering her.

Why are these people so afraid of her skipping the event? And that they felt the need to remind her over and over again? Melody was too lazy to reply so she only stared at Reagan with a bored expression on her face.

When Reagan saw this, she immediately changed her attitude and tone of voice, hoping she could persuade Melody.

"Melody, my driver is already here.I can give you a ride since we're both heading home anyway.I'll take you there."

Reagan said as sweetly as she could.

Clearly, the driver was here to pick up Reagan from school, and as a member of the Sullivan family, Melody had the right to be escorted by the driver too.

But when Reagan said it in such a high and mighty manner, Melody couldn't help but feel like Reagan was implying that the act was like charity.

Luke, who was beside Melody all this time, was silently listening to their conversation until he couldn't contain his anger anymore and pointed at Reagan accusingly.

"What the hell? Who do you think you are? Do you think that you have the right to take my boss away?! Who cares what or how big your car is! You had the freaking nerve to talk to my boss that way?!" He fumed.

"Besides, she doesn't need your car! I can prepare her ten luxurious cars in just a single phone call.All custom-made just for her.My boss doesn’t need your cheap car at all!"

Luke didn't care whether he was being polite or not towards a lady, especially when that lady was Reagan.

And when Reagan saw how furious and disgusted Luke was with her, she couldn't help but feel enraged herself.

Luke added, "C'mon! Don't come here just to embarrass yourself.I advise you to hurry up and get out of here before I do something we both regret!"

"Luke, you..." Reagan fumed as her face contorted in anger.

She glared daggers at Luke.

However, Luke was unaffected.She wanted to be fierce with him? Unfortunately for her, he was much fiercer.

"What? Are you done acting like a nice little lady? Wanna fight me? Because I'll gladly help you strip out of that innocent facade of yours so that everyone will see how horrible your personality is."

"You think you scare me?" Reagan smirked, secretly clenching her fists in anger.

"Acting tough like an obedient puppy in front of his master.Do you really believe I don’t have the ability to beat you and ruin your reputation in the school?" Luke scoffed.

"Oh, please.You only know a bit of martial arts, and besides, you can't even do anything when you're facing Christine."

When Luke mentioned Christine, Reagan's face instantly turned pale.

She didn't know that Luke already knew but what she did know, however, was the fact that if she continued to provoke Luke, she would be the one to suffer.

Reagan turned around to walk away but before she did, she turned to Melody.

"Melody, I was kind enough to offer you a ride but I guess you don't appreciate it.If you don't want to, then just say so. Such a waste of my time."

After she was done speaking, she stomped away in anger.

As Luke watched her departing figure, he scratched his head in confusion.

"Boss, that little wench really didn’t forget to insult you before she left.Not to worry, though, I'll definitely get back at her for you."

Melody absent-mindedly stared at the fallen leaves outside the window.She wasn't even listening to Luke’s complaints and let her mind wander off for a moment.

Reagan couldn't win in a fight or argument against Luke.

So, of course, she didn't need to worry since Luke could handle himself.

After Luke was finished ranting, he noticed that Melody was distracted.He scrunched his face in worry and asked her in a serious tone, "Boss, are you really planning to go to that party today? Won't it be troublesome?"

When Melody woke up from her trance, she opened her bag to get her hat and placed it on her head.

She looked at Luke and nodded.

When he saw that she was determined to go, he quickly shouted, "Then I'll come with you!"

Melody arched an eyebrow at him, "And tell me, what are you planning to do?"

"To serve you, of course!" Luke said as a matter-of-factly.

For Luke, he could definitely see that the Sullivan family were not good people.

Of course, Melody was an exception.

She was a very smart and brave person but he didn’t want her to spend her energy on useless people, so he decided to be there for her and protect her.

Melody rolled her eyes and ignored Luke as she passed by him.She patted his shoulders and spoke in a dangerous tone, "No need.If you have time for this, it means you have time to study hard for the college entrance examination, right?"

Luke immediately went quiet.

No way, was his boss serious? Or was she joking? The college entrance examination? Did she forget that he graduated from Ivy University at the young age of fourteen years old? When Luke came back to his senses, Melody was nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile, Melody walked towards the school gate where her motorcycle was parked.

When she was about to step on her vehicle, she spotted a pink beetle car slowly driving in her direction.She stopped and waited for the red beetle car to pass by but once it was in front of her, it stopped.

The car window rolled down and a familiar face greeted her with a bright smile.

Sarah was evidently happy as she squealed in excitement, "Mellie! I came to pick you up! I wasn't sure what time you'll be finished with school but I'm glad I came right on time."

She said as she smiled warmly at Melody.She was so annoyed when Reagan and Quince kept pestering her earlier.

But now, since it was Sarah, she couldn't help but soften up.

Sarah didn't realize that she was just chattering about her troubles earlier but she continued, "You won't believe how busy the road is! I was kinda worried you won't be able to get a taxi.Oh, that's right, you

must have a car if you want to go to Grandma's house because the weather has been cold recently, especially at night.If you stand way too long on the sidewalk waiting for a taxi, I'm afraid you'll get a cold."

She continued to ramble, "But it's okay since I'm here now!"

Sarah looked at Melody sincerely, her grin almost reaching her ears and even her eyes were smiling and twinkling.

Melody sighed and smiled at Sarah.

She stared back at Sarah as she spoke in a calm voice, "So, you came here to pick me up because you were worried that I might get sick?"

"Yup.Exactly!" Sarah answered quickly.

Melody knew that her concern was genuine and sincere.

"What's up with you today? You're kinda weird." Sarah asked.

Melody’s lips involuntarily twitched.

"I'm fine." Melody shrugged and opened the door at the backseat of the car before she settled in comfortably.
