Chapter 201: Beauties Were the Weaknesses of Powerful Men 

The next morning...

While Sarah was still asleep, Melody was already prepared to go to school.

Sarah heard some noise coming from the outside, causing her to groggily wake up.She was in a dazefor a while before she struggled to get up then she sluggishly walked out of her room.

When Sarah saw Melody carrying her bag and all dressed up, she flinched and turned her head to lookat the wall clock.She squinted to read the time.She instantly sobered up, her eyes widening.

"Oh my god, it's already so late.Mellie, sorry! I woke up late again."

Sarah dejectedly looked at Melody and sulkily said, "I originally planned to cook breakfast for you but Ididn't expect that I'd end up waking up late."

Melody knew that Sarah had only finished her job past midnight yesterday and that the latter was alsotired.It was basically impossible for Sarah to get up very early and finish making breakfast by 7 o'clock.

"I'll just eat outside!"

Guilt was written all over Sarah’s face as she concernedly mumbled, "Then you must eat.Breakfast isthe most important meal of the day!"

After all, the only thing she could do was remind Melody to eat her breakfast.

Anyway, it was her fault for not waking up early.

Melody hummed in affirmation.

"Go back to sleep.I'm leaving."

As she watched Melody open the door, get out, and then close the door again, Sarah had a sweetsmile on her face.

The two little dimples on her cheeks were particularly sweet and lovely.

She was probably unaware of how cute she looked right now.

"Mellie has been talking to me more often recently.

It feels nice!"

After mumbling to herself with a sing-song tone, she turned and went back to her room to continuesleeping.

Sleep-deprived, it didn’t take her a long time before she fell back to dreamland.

Nothing was better and more gratifying than sleeping.

In this aspect, she was really Melody’s sister.

Upon getting out of the apartment, a low and hoarse voice sounded not too far ahead from Melody.

"Good morning!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Melody felt like she had replenished enough good mood that could last forthe whole day.

She slowly looked up and saw a man in a suit standing straight opposite her.

The navy blue slim-fit suit didn't have the dullness of a typical black suit and even added a gentlemanlyaura to the wearer.

Seth leaned against the door while staring at her affectionately, a gentle smile hanging on his lips.

It increased his charm, making him look more handsome.

Melody greeted back casually, "Good morning!"

As Melody replied, she raised a hand, the car keys dangling on one of her fingers.

The car keys clinked against each other.

Hearing that, Seth smiled helplessly.It was a reminder that she owned the car.

Seth thought, 'My little girl is really mischievous"

Seth suddenly took a step forward, cutting the distance between them.

Because of their close distance, Melody could feel the man’s breath clearly.

His warm breath caressed Melody's face, bringing a burst of numbing sensation through her skin,tugging on her heartstrings.It seemed like Seth intentionally lowered his voice.

His originally hoarse voice turned more and more seductive.

"Mellie, I asked Austin to prepare your favorite garlic butter shrimps.Are you sure that you don’t want toeat it?"

He even added, "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? Mellie..."

The end of the sentence was deliberately pronounced slowly and dragged out, his tone faintly tingedwith ambiguity.

As if bewitched, Melody subconsciously hummed in affirmation.

Seth's eyes lit up, the end of his eyes raised as it flashed with mischief.

His dark eyes tenderly looked at Melody and he softly said, "Mellie is so obedient.Let's go!"

He stretched his arm out and took over the schoolbag on Melody’s back.

Smoothly, he held her hand and led her downstairs.

After a while, Melody finally processed what just happened and cursed Seth a thousand times in herheart.

That jerk really had an excellent hearing.He even managed to hear the conversation she had with herolder sister.

But that wasn't the main point.

He actually used his face and voice to bewitch her into agreeing to whatever he said! His seduction baitwas really done well! She was successfully tricked.

It was too late for her to take back her words.

Ever since ancient times, beauties were the weaknesses of powerful men.

But seduction was gender-agonistic, so if a man attempted seduction, it was also powerful! In the car,Melody was eating the garlic butter shrimp.

Seeing her bulging cheeks, Seth's mood improved.

Melody's usual cold and distant vibes were gone.

However, a trace of resentment could still be seen in her eyes, probably because she had beenbewitched into agreeing.

But it only made her look more tender and lovelier, filling Seth’s heart to the brim with affection.

It made him feel like he had opened a hidden treasure stash when he saw this lovely side of Melody.

His decision to move here had been a very good one after all.

Upon arriving at the classroom, Melody headed to Luke's seat.

The garlic butter shrimp she had just eaten was not bad.

However, while she was walking earlier, she was bothered by the lingering saltiness.

"Luke, do you have some tea?"

Luke instantly replied with a question, "Boss, is rose dew tea okay?"

As expected, he was prepared for everything.He brought out the tea and offered it to Melody.

Melody stretched her hand out and took the rose dew tea.

Luke noticed that she seemed to be in a hurry.

He couldn't help but ask, "Boss, did you eat breakfast today?"

Melody replied casually, "I ate some garlic butter shrimps.They're a little salty."

She sat down and lazily leaned her back against the chair, sipping the rose dew tea Luke gave her.

There was a change in Luke's expression but she did not notice it.

Right now, Luke had the face of a resentful wife who had been betrayed by her husband.His handsomeface was distorted.He was really confused about how Seth was still the head of the Harrison family.

As the head, he had to take over a large company, meaning he had plenty of matters to deal with everyday.

Where did Seth get the time to send breakfast to his boss, Melody, and even personally send her toschool? How come he had so much free time? Was he that irresponsible? If a man like him didn't evencare about the business under his responsibility, didn't that mean that Seth might treat Melodyirresponsibly? The more Luke thought along those lines, the more unsafe he felt about letting Seth stayaround his boss.

He decided to spend some of his free time investigating Seth.

If Seth really wasn't good enough for Melody, he would risk his life just to separate Melody from suchan irresponsible scumbag.

On the side of the ‘irresponsible scumbag’...

After sending Melody to school, Seth immediately rushed to the company to attend a meeting.

The distance between the Harrison residence and Sarah's apartment was at least half an hour's worthof travel.

Not only was it time-consuming, but there was also no way to send Melody to school fast.

After following such an inconvenient routine a few times, Seth finally decided to move to the sameneighborhood and rented the apartment across Sarah's.

It was hitting two birds with one stone.

He could save time and stay close to Melody as much as possible.

Today, the representatives of several cooperative companies came to discuss the renewal of acontract.It was impossible to delay.

Not long after the car drove away from the school, Seth sneezed three times in a row.

His entire face sank.It was impossible for his body to catch a cold.His sneezes were reallyinexplicable.He raised his gaze and glanced at the driver's seat.

Austin, who was innocently driving, felt a sense of deja vu.

He felt his back turn cold and felt the oppression of an unknown force.

At that moment, Austin’s throat tightened as if he was being choked by someone.

Without waiting for Seth to talk, Austin pleaded not guilty, "Sir, the car was just cleaned yesterday!"

Austin was trying to say that it wasn't the car's fault why Seth sneezed.

As if he thought of something, Austin opened his mouth but then closed it again, seemingly hesitant.

After pondering for a bit, he couldn't control his impulse and said, "Is it possible that you sneezedbecause someone has dissed you behind your back?"

The possibility of this was quite high.

After all, no one dared to say something in front of Seth.But it was hard to say if it was the same whenSeth turned his back.

Hearing that, Seth's face instantly darkened, looking terrifyingly ashen.

Seth's eyes swept across Austin.

His gaze was so sharp that Austin could feel its sharpness up to his neck.

Austin instantly zipped his mouth and exaggeratedly pursed them, not daring to say anything more.

He should just drive safely and keep his mouth shut so he could keep his life.
