Chapter 87 

Until Charles left Harbour Villa, he couldn’t believe that he’d gotten the molecular device he’d always wanted. 

It was the most advanced drug analyzer in the world, with powerful functions. It was always desirable and yet unreachable to him. 

However, he didn’t expect that he only spent one night not sleeping and then his dream actually came true. 

And the upgrading of his research institute was completed so easily as well. 

Charles was overwhelmed with excitement. 

He thought, ‘Mr. Lambert really knows how to spoil his woman! But to put it bluntly, this woman deserves it!‘ 

At this moment, Charles earnestly wished that Roderick and Melanie could marry immediately and have another pair of twin daughters. 

Meanwhile, Melanie worked until noon and was about to have a working meal delivered. 

Before she could call Jeff, Jeff came in, followed by someone. 

Seeing the person behind Jeff, Melanie immediately stood up. 

“Mrs. Lambert?! What brings you here?” 

“Why can’t I come here?” Jennifer walked in and said angrily, “Roderick is really too insensible. He knows that you’re not feeling well, but he still lets you come to 

work.” 

Hearing this, Melanie was a little confused. 

She thought, ‘What does my coming to work have to do with his insensitivity?! 

“Mrs. Lambert?” 

When Melanie was about to speak, Jennifer waved her hand and several people came in immediately. Each of them was holding a lunch box. 

“Hurry up, set the table,” Jennifer ordered them as if she were in her own office.

“You didn’t spill the soup, did you?! 

“How about the braised mutton? Is it still warm?!” 

When Jennifer finished and everyone else left, Melanie looked at the food on the table and couldn’t help feeling a little overwhelmed. 

She thought, ‘Although I have a good appetite, I don’t think I can eat so much.’ 

“Mrs. Lambert!” 

As soon as Melanie spoke, Jennifer interrupted Melanie with a smile as if she knew what Melanie was going to say, “Mela, I’ve scolded Roddy. He didn’t take good care of you, so I’ll punish him and command him to pick you up at night, okay?” 

As she spoke, Jennifer took Melanie’s hand and led Melanie sit at the table. 

“Mela, did you feel very uncomfortable last night? Don’t worry. Roddy has already had someone prescribe medicine for you. You won’t have any stomachache in the future. Now try these dishes and see if they suit your taste.” 

Melanie could feel Jennifer’s sincere love under her kind smile. 

Even Jennifer’s hand that was holding hers was as soft and warm as Melanie’s mother’s back then. 

And the way Jennifer spoke, with a gentle smile, was very much like Melanie’s mother’s as well. 

Thinking of this, Melanie suddenly felt a lump in her throat. She quickly hid her emotions and picked up a bowl of soup to drink. 

Seeing Melanie gulping down the food, Jennifer said happily, “Good girl. You’re just like my three daughters.” 

Hearing this, Melanie couldn’t conceal her emotions anymore and tears welled up in her eyes

“Mela, you are such a good girl!” Melanie’s mother used to say the same words in the past. 

Melanie hurriedly picked up the bowl and swallowed a big mouthful of food while suppressing the tears in her eyes.

“Mrs. Lambert, you should have some too.” 

“I’ve already eaten. These are specially made for you. Eat more and I’ll ask Roddy to take you to have some delicious food tonight.” 

Jennifer locked at Melanie affectionately, filled her plate with all kinds of food, and kept persuading her, “Mela, why don’t you live with me these days? In that case, I can take good care of you!” 

Hearing Jennifer’s words, Melanie felt that she almost didn’t bear to control her emotions. 

“M–Mrs. Lambert, I’d better go back to Harbour Villa,” stammered Melanie. She really had no resistance in front of such a gentle mother. She continued, “I can take care of myself!” 

Unexpectedly, hearing this, Jennifer answered unreservedly as if Melanie were her daughter, “How can you take care of yourself? You think I know nothing 

about your three sisters? But with Roddy taking care of you over there, I’m relieved. You can just boss him around if there’s anything you need. Roddy can bear hardships. and stand hard work and he’s very capable. When he grew up in the military camp, he was capable of everything!” 

Hearing this, Melanie was a little surprised. This was the first time she had heard of Roderick’s past. 

No wonder he was so good at tidying up. It turned out that he grew up in the military camp when he was a child. 

Thinking of the military camp, Melanie suddenly remembered Roderick’s strong body and her face blushed again. 

After eating, Melanie thought Jennifer was leaving, but Jennifer took out a small porcelain bottle from her bag. 

“Mela, this is the medicine that Roddy had someone prescribed for you. Take one pill now. You should take one pill every day these days, okay?” 

As Jennifer spoke, she put a pill in Melanie’s hand and handed Melanie the water. 

Melanie, who had been taken care of all the time, once again felt the feeling of having a mother. 

Chapter 87 

She thought, ‘If my mother hadn’t died, she must’ve taken care of me like this. 

Thinking of this, Melanie felt a lump in her throat again. 

Jennifer was still saying, “Mela, you’re too busy with your work. I’ll keep the medicine and supervise you to take it when I bring you food tomorrow!” 

Hearing this, Melanie didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. 

She didn’t want Jennifer to send food there every day in the name of her mother- in–law. It was too exaggerated. 

“Mrs. Lambert, don’t bother. We have working meals in our company, and they’re very good as well!” 

“No way. You can’t have working meals,” Jennifer answered disapprovingly. Then, she continued with a smile, “If you don’t want to bother me, I’ll let Roddy bring you food in the future. It’s a deal!” 

Then Melanie watched Jennifer put the medicine bottle back into the bag. 

Just when Melanie thought Jennifer was leaving, Jennifer went into the small room. 

“Roddy is so unreliable. He doesn’t even tidy up your room! Let’s see how I’ll deal. with him when I get back!” 

Hearing this, Melanie didn’t know what to say. 

She wanted to ask Jennifer whether Roderick was her biological son or not. 

Otherwise, why did Jennifer keep asking Roderick, the son of the Lambert family, to do trivial things like delivering food and tidying up the room? 

Melanie was pulled into theroom by Jennifer and forced to rest. 

Melanie didn’t expect Jennifer to be so domineering. She had always disliked being forced to do things by others. 

But listening to Jennifer’s nagging words, Melanie rarely felt tired and even warm 

in her heart.
