Melody gave Jeremy one call after another, but he failed to answer any of them.
Melody tightly pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and gently let out a weary sigh. She was forced to face something she didn't want to admit—Jeremy had forgotten about her once more.
…
Rain poured heavily from the sky as Alexis spotted Melody standing at the corner. Her expression was clouded with gloom.
She sincerely said, "It's pouring out there. It's safer if I drive you home. You'll have a hard time hailing a cab now."
This time, Melody didn't turn Alexis' offer down. Instead, she simply thanked her in a hoarse voice.
"Don't be so formal. Sometimes, I look at you, and it feels like you're my family." Alexis turned the studio lights off, raised the umbrella, and pushed the main door open.
Just then, strong gusts of wind rushed in along with the rain, instantly drenching Melody's clothes. At that moment, her phone rang in her handbag, but she didn't hear it at all.
Alexis left after she took Melody to the Wardolf residence's door.
After that, Melody held an umbrella and shuffled into the villa with great difficulty.
Unlike the fierce rainstorm outside, the lights in the villa shone brightly, accentuating the warmth and coziness inside.
Melody was drenched and looked absolutely terrible, but she paid no attention to herself. Instead, she looked at Jeremy, who was sitting in the living room. She blinked slowly and softly asked, "Jeremy, didn't you say you'd pick me up?"
His shirt was clean and neat. Clearly, he didn't go outside at all.
