Chapter 477: Must Be Hopelessly in Love

Thankfully, Uncle Fairchild didn’t press him further about Evan Fairchild and Melody Monroe’s relationship.

Otherwise, he would have had to choose between offending Uncle Fairchild or Evan Fairchild. In that case, he would have been in for a world of hurt!

Sitting in the car, Uncle Fairchild suddenly asked Silas Rockwell, "Still no girlfriend? I’m waiting for that wedding invitation, you know."

"It’s not happening anytime soon for me."

"You kids... I have no idea what goes through your heads all day. You’re a real handful."

"Sorry to make you worry, Uncle," Silas Rockwell replied obediently.

"I’m leaving now."

"Take care, Uncle."

The moment the car drove out of the Rockwell Family’s gates, Silas Rockwell immediately sent a message to Evan Fairchild.

...

Uncle Fairchild drove to the apartment Evan Fairchild had purchased in Rockwellburg.

This was the address known to the Fairchild Family.

So, this was the only place he could find him.

But he didn’t go up right away. Instead, he opened his phone and looked at the file he had just received.

The more he read, the more his brow furrowed.

Suddenly, a video call request came in.

"Honey, how did it go? Where are you now? Did you see Third Brother?"

"No, I just left the Rockwells’ place. I’m downstairs from Third Brother’s apartment now, wondering if I should go up."

"You saw Melody Monroe’s file, didn’t you?"

"Yes. If Mom and Dad find out about this, they’ll probably faint from anger."

"It can’t be that bad, can it? Isn’t Mom worried sick about Third Brother’s marriage? She’s gotten to the point where she’s not picky anymore. She’d accept anyone he brought home."

"No matter who Mom imagined, even the worst-case scenario wouldn’t be someone with Melody Monroe’s background."

"Now that you put it that way, I think I understand."

Uncle Fairchild suddenly started laughing.

"What are you laughing about?"

"I actually hope all my guesses turn out to be true."

"I get the feeling you’re gloating."

"You bet I am! If Third Brother is really with Melody Monroe, then judging by his personality and her situation, he must be head over heels in love. The one who can finally tame him has appeared."

"But he’ll never get Mom and Dad’s approval. To be honest, I quite like Melody Monroe."

"Do you think Third Brother cares what Mom and Dad think?"

"No."

"I’m going to find a hotel for the night. I’ll head back first thing tomorrow morning."

"You’re not going to see Third Brother?"

"No. This whole thing is just starting to unfold, isn’t it? Let’s wait and see. And don’t say anything to Eldest Sister-in-law yet. You know how she is. The moment she finds out, Mom will know."

"I understand. You should find a place and get some rest soon."

"Okay. Good night."

Just as Uncle Fairchild hung up the phone, he suddenly heard someone knocking on his car window.

When he rolled down the window, Evan Fairchild was standing there, a look of impatience on his face.

’My informant is pretty dedicated. Normally, it’s so hard to see him. I might have a chance if I ambush him at his company, but now he’s actually showing up on his own.’

Evan Fairchild pulled open the car door and sat down in the passenger seat.

"Why didn’t you call me when you came to Rockwellburg?"

"What’s the use of calling you? Were you going to offer me a meal or a place to stay?"

"What are you doing in Rockwellburg?"

"Business."

"When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow."

"Have a safe trip. I won’t see you out." With that, Evan Fairchild pushed open the car door to leave.

’This damn brat!’ Uncle Fairchild cursed under his breath as he also pushed his door open and got out.

"I’m right at your doorstep, and you won’t even invite me up for a bit? You know, you’re really asking for a punch in the face."
