Chapter 72

Denvin sounded nonchalant, but it still drew everyone's gaze to Melody. She hadn't expected him to say something like this either. As nerves began to take hold of her, she instinctively avoided his gaze. A tall, looming figure suddenly stood in front of her, obstructing Denvin's gaze. It was Jeremy, and his stance was sharp and composed. Jeremy had no idea what prompted his actions, but the way Denvin looked at Melody rubbed him the wrong way. So, he instinctively stood in front of her. She could smell Jeremy's refreshing odor. Her heart was in her throat a second ago, but it was no longer so. Although it sounded a little presumptuous to say it, it was the truth that he gave her most of her sense of security. Laura followed Denvin's gaze and saw Melody as well. With furrowed eyebrows, she commented in a displeased tone, "We asked you to return for a family dinner. What's up with all that makeup?" As a matter of fact, Alexis had merely applied casual and light makeup for Melody.
