Chapter 56
Ar this moment, Melissa came out with a fruit platter. In a good mood, her voice became much lighter. “Curtis, have some fruit.”
Watching Curtis run happily toward Melissa, Bradley felt at peace and continued to review the contract
Meanwhile, Melissa and Curtis ate the fruit together. They sat cross–legged on the sofa, whispering to each other in hushed tones and occasionally bursting into crisp laughter.
It was unknown what they were talking about, but Curtis rolled around on the sofa exaggeratedly.
Melissa hurried to stop him, “Shh. Be good, Keep it down. Daddy’s working.”
Curtis sat up obediently, hugging her neck and leaning into her embrace. “Mommy. I want you and Daddy to live together,”
Although it was a kid’s gibberish, Melissa’s heart skipped a beat at the words. She stole a glance at Bradley, noticing that he was intently focused on his laptop and was probably unaware of their conversation. She whispered, “Even if we don’t live together, I still love you very, very much”
Curtis shook his head, repeating. I like you, and I like Dad, too. I want to be with you every day!”
This
topic was very heavy for Melissa.
If Bradley agreed, she would be willing to go to the Moore family, even if it meant being a nanny, as long as she could be with Curtis.
But she was Curtis’s adoptive mother, and with such an awkward identity. Bradley would not agree to the three of them living under the same roof for a long time.
Moreover, when he had his lover in the future, his lover would certainly not be able to accept her.
Melissa’s heart was a mixture of emotions, but she tried to look calm. “No matter if you’re with your dad or me, we’ll see each other often, I promise to try my best!”
Curtis, disappointed, lowered his head. “Anyway, my biological mom is already gone. Just let Dad marry you, then we can be together forever…
Melissa quickly coughed to cover up his words, But it was too late. Bradley heard every word.
Melissa looked at Bradley’s probing gaze, explaining awkwardly, “I didn’t teach him that, really….
Bradley’s tone was indifferent, devoid of emotion. “Children can say whatever they want, but you’re an asiult, don’t indulge in fantasy.“”
The remark made Melissa uuerly uncomfortable. Instead of explaining herself further, she retorted, “Relax 1 don’t like divorced men!”
Her phone suddenly dinged at this time, prompting her to click into WhatsApp and Ignore Bradley, who was about to tease her further.
Her expression suddenly turned complex at the message, her brows furrowed tightly, her gaze fixed intently on the screen.
Bradley couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter?”
Melissa’s face lit up with excitement, and she suddenly hugged Curtis. “Curtis! Mom’s job is really going to pan out!”
Being jostled in her arms, Curtis was nearly in a daze,
“Do you know the Parvati! They’re holding a fashion design contest now. If you win, you get a job at their company!” Melissa boasted to Bradley.
Only then did Bradley realize she was so thrilled about this, praising inwardly for Ned’s efficiency
He asked on purpose. “Is it really so exciting to enter the Parvati! Do you have any ambition at all?”
Melissa’s spirits were soaring. “You’re an outsider, so you wouldn’t know. The Parvati is the best of the best in Chassis’s fashion industry, the
‘So you’ll win?” An enigmatic smile left Bradley’s mouth as he nodded in agreement.
“Msolutely” Melissa chuckled.
Afraid Bradley wouldn’t believe her, she continued, “Tve studied their style closely, and I believe I can handle it perfectly! And you know, their
esign competition jan’t something just anyone can enter. You need an invitation. Now, I owe hin a huge favor.
Bradley had no idea dirough whom Ned had sent Melissa the invitation. Hut observing Melissa’s joyful expression, he preuy much looked forward to her reaction when she discovered he was the one who truly helped her

“Good luck,” he said.
Melissa was so overjoyed that she couldn’t stop giggling, and she picked up her phone to voice chat back on WhatsApp, Scott, I saw the invitation. I will definitely attend it. Thank you so much!”
Scott quickly replied with a voice message, “Cut it out We’re all old classmates Keep it up!”
Hearing a young man’s voice, Bradley suddenly turned gloomy. “Who is Scott?” he demanded.
