Chapter 1882

Lilin nodded in response. As Melinda opened the door, she was taken aback to see Maxwell hesitating at the entrance. "How did you…" Melinda looked at Maxwell in shock before turning back to look at Emily. Emily was still trying to steady her breath with her hand on her chest. She noticed that Melinda was not moving, yet she did not hear the door closing. When she looked toward the entrance, her eyes widened in shock as well. The man she had not seen in almost two decades stood at her door. Both of them shared a moment of mutual astonishment. A minute later, Emily shifted her gaze away and said coldly, "Mel, close the door!" Melinda snapped out of her surprise. She gave Maxwell a complicated glance and was about to close the door when Maxwell blocked it with his arm and said gruffly, "Let me see her." He knew he was not welcome there, but he insisted on seeing Emily. Melinda felt conflicted. She glanced back at Emily, who still had her face turned away, expressing her refusal.
