A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 274

Andrew fell silent as soon as Melody said that.

He let out a sigh after a beat. "Mel, don't make things difficult for me. Krys just came back to us, and she's very close with her adoptive parents. You'll be hurting her feelings if you do this.

"How about this? As long as you let this go, I'll give you something as compensation as well. Just name whatever you want."

Though Andrew sounded like he was negotiating, he was actually deciding for her. And Melody never had the right to say no.

She remained silent, and that was when she heard Jeremy's voice.

Even though it wasn't particularly clear, she was familiar enough with his voice to recognize it. This meant that he also agreed that she shouldn't insist on getting an apology from Dennis.

Hanging up the call, she scooped up Echo, who had been curled up by her feet this whole time, asking, "Do you think I'm in the wrong, too?"

Echo gave a soft howl in response.

…

That night, Melody didn't wait for Jeremy to come home, which was quite rare for her.

Felicia had finally returned, so Jason and Tiffany came to pick Melody up so they could have a welcome-back dinner with Felicia.

The moment Felicia saw Melody, she immediately gave her a big hug. "Goodness! I've missed you so much!"

She studied Melody up and down, looking as if she were this close to lifting Melody up and spinning her around.

Melody chuckled exasperatedly. "Stop looking. I'm fine, really."

Felicia was skeptical. "Are you sure? I was worried you were just hiding things from me and not daring to tell me the truth.

"You have no idea how mad I was when I saw those things online. If I had been in Jembina, I would've yelled at them along with you, but I was stuck in Javelle."

Felicia and Melody had more or less grown up together, so she knew that Melody never wanted people to worry about her.

Thus, if she were the one who flew off the handle, Melody would just end up comforting her instead.

She tugged on Melody's hand and reassured, "Don't worry. I brought a ton of gifts back for you!"

Melody didn't want Felicia to continue that conversation, so she changed the subject. "How was Javelle? Did you have fun? Didn't you say you were visiting your cousin's place?"

Felicia immediately made a face. "Ugh. Do you remember when I told you about his first love? Well, they broke up for some reason, and now he's prancing around like he's all that and dating models and influencers.
