Chapter 459 Yoel was caught off guard when Melody jumped on him. He wanted to push her away but was afraid that she would fall. ‘You are scared now? Why did you do it then?’
However, he himself was also nervous and scared. He coaxed with a stiff face, “Get off me first. I won’t be able to explain it later…”
“No, no. You need to protect me. I’m not lying. My dad and aunt are really scary.” Unlike the brave girl she was when she ran away, she was nearly scared to death.
Melody had her arms wrapped around Yoel’s neck tightly. He even had the desire to die while his heart was screaming, ‘You think I don’t know how scary your dad and aunt are? That’s why you should get down right at this moment!’
However, he was afraid he would scare Melody even more if he screamed at her. Hence, he could only try to be like a big wolf and slowly comforted her, “Be a good girl. Get down now, and we can talk it over…”
Melody did not dare to get down. She saw people getting down the car and on their way to the house. Her heart was pounding loudly. In the end, she hid her head and buried her face in Yoel’s chest to pretend that she was not there. She was murmuring, “You can’t see me, you can’t see me…”
Yoel was speechless. ‘Is this what they meant when a guilty person gives himself away by consciously protesting his innocence?’ He was amused by Melody’s childishness.
