Chapter 138 You're not so into her as you think
The two ended up going to a secluded security corridor in the building together.
Chad and Garrett's assistants guarded the passageway.
Garrett leaned leisurely on the passage railing, "What are you going to say?"
Melvin's dark eyes were fixed on him. His face was cold.
"If your sister and Lyra are incompatible in the future, who will you choose?"
Garrett pondered, "No, because Irene already knew who Lyra is. As long as Irene still cares about
Keith, she won't fight with Lyra again."
"Are you sure?"
Melvin sneered: "According to my understanding, Keith and Irene's marriage are engaged for two
years. They have not yet received a certificate, because Keith has not agreed. Some time ago Keith
asked to withdraw from the marriage but your father dissuaded this."
"So what?" Garrett was inexplicably confused.
"You know Lyra's character. Irene has harmed her, and the means is very sinister. She can never get
along with Irene in this life. Irene is not a person who can take the loss. So between sister and Lyra,
you can only want one."
Garrett was a little annoyed.
"What kind of question is that? I can't have both? I'll talk to her about the problem between them."
Melvin listened and laughed, "You don't even like Lyra that much. You're just mesmerizing yourself.
Your sister will eventually marry someone else. It's amazing that you'll hesitate on something like this.
You don't deserve Lyra at all."
"Heh, you're the one who doesn't deserve her. From the day you signed the agreement with her, you're
destined to never remarry her."
Melvin smiled indifferently, "If I can't, just let it be. At least I can protect her in another way. Before she
doesn't want me at all, I have to choose a man for her who really loves her and cares for her. But this
person is definitely not you."
Garrett's expression eased when he heard this, "The person you are talking about is me! I'm perfect for
her in every way. I've had a crush on her for years, and I don't mind that she'll have a second marriage.
So how am I not good enough for her? How many men can do what I do?"
Melvin wrinkled his brow and looked at him for several times.
He can actually say something like second marriage ...
He simply cared about it in his heart. He forced himself to love Lyra, telling himself that he must take
Lyra down.
Seeing that Melvin was silent, Garrett heartily announced a good news to him.
"You don't know it yet. She has promised to have dinner with me alone just three days later. I will give
her a grand surprise that day. She will definitely agree to my proposal, and you, never have a chance!"
Garrett had a rare provocative smile.
Melvin's rage grew and he grabbed him by the lapels, warning him in a low voice.
"You've been pretending for a long time. I'm afraid you've been friends with her with an aim from the
beginning, right? You stay away from her in the future!"
Garrett was unimpressed and shook off his hand, "You want to stop me?"
It was true that Keith's engagement to Irene did not always go through to the end.
But the Lloyd family and Frazier family's marriage was the trend, not to mention that he really liked
Lyra. Marriage was to kill two birds with one stone.
But Garrett will not tell Melvin about that.
The two men warned each other and fought back and forth for several more times before they were
finally pulled away by each of their assistants to end the smokeless war.
After Garrett left, Melvin took Fred back to the office.
Thinking about Garrett's comment about three days later, he became furious and pounded his fist hard
on the table. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
The "bang" startled Chad.
"Boss, what are you going to do on Mr. Frazier's side ...?"
Melvin was angry at the mention of the name, "In three days, find a way to get him leave, as far away
as possible. Don't bother me in Frayton."
"Ah this!"
Chad felt a little bit awkward, "Behind him is the Frazier family, Boss I ..."
Melvin coldly grunted and looked askance at him, "Frazier family is the weakest of the four families in
Suham. He came to Frayton and did not bring bodyguards this time. So he came here secretly. You can
not even handle this?"
Chad curled his lips. His boss was oppressing him! Giving him a hard time!
And heartless! Unreasonable!
"Hmm?"
Melvin frowned and glared at him.
Chad instantly wimped out and made a smile.
"I can handle it! I'll talk it over with Ted and the others, but I may need your help then."
Melvin's expression then returned to normal, "Good."
Lyra obviously trusted him a little bit over the past half a month, and did not let Fifteen and Seventeen,
the two bodyguards to guard him every day. He was very happy about that.
Three days later.
Because she had a date with Garrett tonight, Lyra planned to leave work an hour early.
She had just finished her work and was ready to leave when she received a call from Eleven at
Seaside Villa.
"Miss, Mr. Freeman was accidentally injured. His waist is bleeding a lot. You should come back quickly
to take a look!"
Lyra thought about it and felt it was odd, "You didn't call a doctor? What's the point of me coming
back?"
"Mr. Freeman said he suffered the injury when he was looking for you in the mountain. Today he
accidentally hurt again when doing housework. His current physique is not as good as before. I am
helping him to stop the bleeding. You really don't come back to take a look?"
Was it an old injury from the back?
That injury was inflicted by Collin's people.
"Okay, I got it."
Hanging up Eleven's phone, she called Garrett first, but the voice prompted that he was not in service
right now.
Lyra didn't think much of it, guessing he was busy with work too.
It was still an hour before the appointment time, so Lyra drove back to Seaside Villa first.
Up on the second floor, Eleven was binding up Melvin's waist with bandage. The gauze wrapped him in
three layers, which was still faintly permeated with blood.
Lyra walked over and sat down in the chair next to her and asked, "What happened? Didn't the wound
scab over a long time ago? How did it hurt again?"
Melvin saw her return and smiled happily, "Since today is a special day, I wanted to cook more dishes
but accidentally cut my back in the kitchen."
Special day?
Wasn't today Garrett's birthday?
What special day could it be for her?
Melvin saw her frowning in thought and said, "You forgot? You were adopted by my grandfather six
years ago and brought back from the orphanage to the Freeman Manor. And it's also the first...no,
second time I met you."
Lyra was surprised.
She didn't even remember this kind of thing, but Melvin would remember it?
Melvin seemed to see what she was thinking, "Ever since I realized I really like and care for you,
everything about you before, I've kept in mind."
Lyra didn't say anything and had little expression.
Melvin finished bandaging and moved two steps closer to her direction, looking at her expectantly.
"Lyra, six years ago when you first entered the Freeman Manor, I did not accompany you. Let me make
up for it this time. I have cooked a lot of dishes. Will you join me for dinner?"
Lyra wrinkled her brow and her expression grew serious.
"No."
