Chapter 197 To Provoke Her
Melinda’s eyes glistened with tears, and she smiled and nodded. “I do.”
In everyone’s presence, Stanley placed the ring representing true love on her finger and affectionately kissed the
back of her hand under the admiring gazes of onlookers. The audience erupted into enthusiastic applause.
He stood up, lightly cupped the back of her head with his hand, and could not help but kiss her lips.
“Wow!”
The scene was drenched with screams! Some ladies’ hearts burst with excitement, and the sound of camera
shutters filled the air. Frames froze, capturing the beauty of the moment.
“You’re not allowed to take the ring off anymore after putting it on, he whispered in her ear. “This isn’t a
promotional shoot. It’s my proposal.” It resembled a secret conversation.
Melinda met his gaze, her smile incredibly sweet, but her expression seemed mismatched with her eyes.
After finishing the promotional shoot, Stanley and Melinda bid farewell to Mr. Edward’s family and boarded a private
plane to return to Riverdale.

handle the preparations.”
Sitting by the window, Melinda leaned lightly against his shoulder. “Okay,” she murmured while flipping through the
photo album in her hands, reluctant to put it down.
“You’ve looked at it three times already. He could not help but remind her.
She happened to reach the last page and gently closed the album, turning her gaze to him. “Will you treasure this
album?”
“Of course. I’ll put it on the bookshelf once we’re back.” He said, “Not everything can be on my bookshelf. Ordinary
books won’t even cut it.”
She smiled, her eyes dark and transparent.
After the private plane arrived in Riverdale, Stanley accompanied Melinda to Emerald Harbor. However, nothing
here belonged to her anymore. She was finally back to reality, knowing that loving someone meant wanting what
was best for them.
Monica was indeed a better fit for him as she was the company’s vice president. One could not lose their right-hand
man, or there would be an imbalance. As a man, career should come first.
Monica entered the Fox Family at 11 and had been with Stanley for 22 years. They spent every birthday and holiday
together. Thinking about this, Melinda found that difficult to accept. She felt both envious – and jealous.
The children went to school today, and the driver took Melinda to the company not long after they left. She stood
by the bedroom window on the second floor, her face somewhat pale in the bright light. After careful consideration,
she picked up her phone and dialed Jennifer’s number.
“Where are you?” There came the cold voice from the other end. “I heard you’re back.”

“I’m at Emerald Harbor.” Melinda softly asked. “Am I leaving on my own, or will Hobson send me?”
“Hobson is sending you,” she replied without hesitation, enduringly. “Go to the airport now. He’ll be waiting for you
there. Do you have any city in mind you wish to go to?”
“Navelic.” She blurted out.
“Okay.” Jennifer casually added, “Don’t come back!”

had cured her. Staying behind would only lead to hostility between her and her son, not something Melinda wanted.
Soon, Monica received a phone call when Melinda departed from Emerald Harbor in a ride-hailing car. “Are you
sure?” She heard the person on the other end report in the vice president’s office. A glimmer of joy ignited in her
heart.
“Yes”
“Good! I got it.” She hung up the phone and quickly tidied up her desk. “Lydia, I need to go out for a bit!”
When Lydia looked up, Monica had already left the office.
Melinda peered at the scenery outside the car window, trying hard to remember this city. She held her bag tightly,
which contained a teacup, a keychain, half of a jade pendant, and a small photo album the size. of her palm.
These were her most precious belongings.
At that moment, she no longer pondered about matters of the heart. However, she could not help but feel reluctant
to part with her children. Still, she believed Stanley could take good care of them and would not let them suffer.
