Chapter 359 Big Misunderstanding
“No, no, no… Don’t overthink it… That man isn’t…”
Annie’s heart pounded like a drum, wanting to interrupt Melanie’s speculation. Unexpectedly, Melanie’s
eyes suddenly flashed, and she pointed at Annie. “Could it be William?”
Suppressing the urge to laugh, Annie pretended to chuckle nervously.
“Is it really him?” This time, Melanie’s eyes widened. “Didn’t you say he’s not a hero? What do you see
in him?”
“He… is good at fighting.” Annie could only bravely continue to fabricate her lie.
“Fighting… Have you two already…?” Melanie raised an eyebrow.
“Fighting, just fighting…literally…” Annie was extremely embarrassed. “He drove away a few ruffians.
He’s
fantastic at it.”
“Alright, you’ve just started seeing him, so I won’t press you too hard. When your relationship with him
is
stable, you all can treat me to a meal,” Melanie said while looking at Annie, her eyes full of mischief.
Annie willingly let Melanie misunderstand, but she was feeling nervous inside. She could only divert the

She then seized the opportunity to change the subject. “Oh, Mel, my foot still hurts. How about you
accompany me for another check–up?”
“It’s still hurting?”
Melanie frowned, blaming herself for being so busy with perfume blending that she forgot that Annie
was still
injured.
“We can go after we finish eating.”
“There’s no hurry. You need to make appointments in advance at the hospitals here.”
Reminded by Annie, Melanie realized this and picked up her phone to help her make an appointment.
However, Annie quickly stopped her. “Alright, you’ve been busy all day. Go rest for a while. I’ll take care
of it myself.”
“Okay, but remember to make the appointment.”
Melanie stood up, feeling a bit tired. “I’ll rest for a while. It’s strange…maybe I’m getting old because I
can’t
stay up late anymore…“.
Listening to her murmuring to herself, Annie wiped the sweat off her forehead, feeling like she was
protecting an endangered species. She dared not let Melanie tire herself out.
Melanie slept until evening, and she only woke up when she felt the light disappear. The first thing she
said was, “Did I oversleep? What time is your appointment?”

“No. don’t worry. I didn’t get to make an appointment for today. We’ll go to the doctor tomorrow. Are you
hungry? Let’s have dinner first.” Annie said.
She didn’t want Melanie to tire herself too much, and wanted to give Jeffrey time.
Melanie didn’t think too much about it. Having rested and regained some energy, she went to the
bathroom to freshen up. When she came out, she heard someone knocking on the door. Opening it,
she was surprised to see William standing outside with two people pushing a food cart behind him.
Seeing her open the door, William suddenly became anxious. “Mrs. Morgan… I’ve corne to deliver
your… dinner…”
William had already begun to think about what to do if Melanie rejected his dishes. Should he cry
pitifully, saying that if Melanie didn’t eat, then the president would ask him to pack up and leave?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, Melanie smiled. “Just say it’s for Annie. Why bring me into this? I have nothing to do with
your
president now.”
After saying that, she generously stepped aside from the doorway.
William was baffled. For whom? Did he hear it wrong?
However, none of that mattered. What mattered was that Melanie agreed readily. Afraid that Melanie
might change her mind, William waved to the staff and asked them to push the food cart into the room.
To diffuse the awkwardness, he said politely, “These are all light and nutritious dishes. I hope they’re
suited to
your taste.”
“Uh, I’m not picky.”
Hearing William’s voice, Annie rushed out from inside. Forgetting she was a lame person, she
stumbled and fell into William’s arms.
Melanie cleared her throat, and maintained an upright posture. “Well, I’ll go eat now. You two can do as
you
please.”
“M–Mrs. Morgan…” William had intended to say something, but Annie, seizing the opportunity, grabbed
William by the collar and pulled him into the bathroom that was by the door.
