There was also a younger half-brother born to Edward's stepmother, who was sent abroad after the incident.

Given the tension, Melody could make some guesses about the situation.

In her past life, she had never met Edward's elusive half-brother.

She imagined he wouldn't be an easy character to deal with.

Early in the morning.

Melody was awakened by the noise coming from downstairs. She lazily opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was Edward's gray silk robe, which she had unknowingly pulled open, exposing his broad chest.

His skin was fair, and his build was muscular.

His collarbone and neck were particularly striking.

Melody swallowed slowly and looked up at Edward's peaceful sleeping face.

Last night, she had given Edward electrotherapy as usual.

After finishing her bath, she found him already asleep, just as usual. Then, she climbed into the bed without hesitation. However, she curled up at the edge of the bed, leaving a gap wide enough for three or four people between them. In the deep of night.

The little girl was sleeping soundly, her peaceful face looking both gentle and soft.

There was a sudden movement at the other end of the bed, and a tall and slender figure moved slowly.

Edward propped himself up and leaned closer to Melody.

His previously icy gaze seemed to soften like melting snow.

He bent down and gently tucked the stray strands of hair from her face behind her ear,

"Mel, you jumped into this trap all on your own,

"Once you're trapped, there's no way to escape."

Edward's gaze lazily settled on the girl's full, dewy lips.

Her lips were a bit swollen.

His eyes darkened as he carefully touched her lips with his fingertips, gently rubbing them with his fingers.

His dark eyes were filled with yearning and desire.

Melody, with her eyes closed, parted her lips slightly, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Her soft, pink lips unconsciously parted, and the tip of her tender tongue brushed against his fingertips.

His heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively pulled his fingers away.

The corner of his eye lifted slightly, and a hint of charm appeared in his deep, dark gaze as he said, "Little wildcat. "You're quite the little charmer."

Then, he took her hand and pulled out a box of expensive ointment from the bedside table.

When the medicine box was opened, the delicate fragrance of white magnolia quickly filled the room.

Edward took the ointment and carefully applied it to her slightly reddened fingers.

He meticulously massaged every inch of her fingertips with his fingers.

Once he was sure her fingers wouldn't hurt anymore, he put the ointment back in the drawer.

Through the gap of the open drawer, a photo hidden inside was seen.

The moonlight poured in revealing the picture.

A girl in a blue-and-white school uniform with a high ponytail, looking around fifteen or sixteen.

Next to her was a tall, slender man, but his face had been blacked out.

Edward hesitated for a moment before sliding the photo into a deeper compartment.

He returned to the bed and looked at the girl's sweet sleeping face.

He thought about how she kept talking about seducing him, but when she was asleep, she was nothing like flirtatious.

Reaching out, he pulled her into his embrace and gently guided her hand to undo his robe's collar.

Exhausted from the day, the familiar scent around Melody drew her into a deeper, more restful sleep.

Feeling the firm, smooth surface under her hand, she reached out with her eyes closed, twisting slightly to bury herself in Edward's embrace. She wrapped her long legs around his waist, sighing contentedly before going back to her dream. Edward was surprised at how cooperative she was. He held the girl's slender waist firmly with his big hand and closed his eyes with satisfaction.

And so, the morning came.

Melody, still confused and blushing, looked up to see Edward's slightly frowning, stern face.

She quickly jumped out of bed and raised her hands, blinking her clear almond innocently.

"Uh... Mr. Moore, If I said I didn't mean it, do you believe me?"

Edward, casually pulling his robe back into place, furrowed his brow and said, "Melody, my leg injury hasn't healed yet.

"You really don't need to... take advantage of the situation like this."

If Bernard were here, he'd probably be ready to call the police. Mr. Moore, who taught you to chase after a girl like this?

What a jerk! The king of jerks!

Melody was on the verge of crying.

"I-I'll take responsibility!"

She didn't notice that as Edward pulled the blanket over himself to hide, a glint of triumph flashed in his eyes.
