Nash nodded. The smell of alcohol wafted from his body as he


    ced the food on the coffee table.


    "What good food did you bring me?"


    Melody happily put herptop aside as she leaned over to take the


    covers of the food. Her eyes lit up as she opened up each container. "


    Beef Wellington, m chowder, french onion soup, grilled fish... T-


    This is all food that I love!"


    Tears welled up in her eyes as she asked, "How did you know I love this stuff?"


    Other than her parents, no one knew that m chowder and French


    onion soup were her favorite foods.


    Nash smiled slightly. "When we were having dinner at the Empire


    Hotel the other evening, I noticed you gravitated toward these dishes


    more than the others!"


    Melody had not outwardly proimed her preference for these dishes


    because of how many people were present.


    She had not expected Nash to take notice.


    Tears welled up in Melody''s eyes. She felt extremely happy and lucky.


    Nash ruffled Melody''s hair as he said lovingly, "Eat up!"


    Melody nodded and got herself some cutlery so that she could begin tucking in. Chapter 1229


    "Is the Warden of the Southern Territory here to attend the Southern


    Martial Alliance establishment ceremony?"


    Melody asked between taking bites of the steak, which had already been cut up into pieces.


    Nash had his phone out. As he texted Hera, he nodded and replied, Yes, but I don''t think he''ll be attending it anymore!"

    Melody grinned. "Even the Warden of the Southern Territory is doing


    what you asked him to. You''re amazing!"


    Nash raised an eyebrow. "Are you only just realizing how amazing I


    am?"


    Melody rolled her eyes at him, blushing as she said, "Stop it!"


    Then, she got up and walked toward the cab, where she retrieved


    a half-full bottle of red wine.


    Red wine was the perfect match for Beef Wellington.


    As Nash texted Hera, he asked abruptly, "How''s things going with the Eve family?"


    Melody mumbled through a mouthful of food, "I got in touch with the Four Elite Families today, and they''re all willing to hire the employees that the Eves fired. I''ve decided to make my final strike tomorrow and


    take down the Eve family in one fell swoop!"


    Nash stopped typing and gave Melody an astonished look. "The Eves are an elite family as well, and they should''ve be much more powerful after they


    acquired the Stone family''s businesses. The Four


    Elite Families should be more inclined to work with them instead.


    How did they all decide to take your side when you''re fighting in this


    battle alone?"


    "I gave all of them a beating!


    "Also, I''ve got dirt on them that''s enough to ruin their name!"


    Melody crossed her legs and took an elegant sip of red wine.


    Nash clicked his tongue. "Hera should take lessons from you. She''s too kind for her own good!"


    Melody chewed on a slice of beef before taking a sip of French onion


    soup. "You don''t know Hera well enough yet. She and Eva have been


    causing havoc in Deco Electronics recently. She''s no longer the


    innocent girl she once was and will probably end up being Jonford''s


    next most powerful businesswoman!"


    She gave Nash a resentful look after saying that. "Aren''t you her


    husband? Why does it seem like you don''t know her at all?"


    An awkward expression appeared on Nash''s face. "I don''t really pay attention to what''s going on in the business world. Besides, we never talk about work. We


    have more sexual things to discuss!"


    Melody.spluttered and then asked, "Would you like a drink?"


    Nash shook his head. "I had a lot to


    drink just now, so pass!"


    "It''s imported..."


    "Oh?" Nash was surprised.


    All the red wine that Melody owned was imported, wasn''t it?


    Melody wrapped her red lips around the bottle and took a deep gulp


    of wine before she leaned toward Nash, her cheeks puffing out.


    soft touch of Melody''s lips caused a fire to ignite within him.


    Their alluring hormones intertwined with each other. Nash put his phone down and wrapped his arms around Melody''s


    slender waist, seemingly trying to ask her for even more wine.


    Melody had taken a shower earlier, and her hair smelled like her


    Nash''s hands began roaming across her body.


    Their body temperatures slowly raised, and Melody''s body felt even


    more supple.


    A surprised look soon reced by a


    O


    wicked smile appeared on Nash''s


    I


    face. "Gosh, Melody, you aren''t wearing... Ah..."


    He did not manage to finish his sentence before Melody bit his lipBelonging to N?velDrama.Org.
