Chapter 524: Preparing for the Second Child

She felt that Melody Monroe’s personality had changed a lot since she woke up from her serious injury. To her, Melody was sometimes a bit too soft.

But she agreed with how Melody Monroe handled this matter.

The saying, "People take advantage of the kind," isn’t without reason.

Melody Monroe had never made things difficult for Aya Winters, nor had she ever confronted her directly. What Aya Winters did was really going too far.

If they hadn’t gotten ahead of it first, it was impossible to say how much this incident would have affected Melody.

There are hundreds of millions of internet users, and actual fans are just a fraction of them. If the situation wasn’t handled properly, things could still blow up in her face, even with a powerful backer like Evan Fairchild.

"Melody, you just focus on your acting. I can handle all this. Besides, I’ve got Rose to help me. Aren’t we the perfect picture of a husband leading and his wife following?"

"Keith Coleman, shut up! Who’s playing the dutiful wife to your husband?"

"Are you going to deny that the online poll was your doing?"

"I did it, so what?"

"I’m Melody’s agent now. That’s part of my job, so you were just helping me."

"You’re shameless! I did it for Melody."

"Nope, it was for me. We coordinate so perfectly. Broadly speaking, isn’t that just a case of ’the husband leads, the wife follows’?"

Rose Shaw stood up and looked at Keith Coleman. "You’re supposed to be a good fighter, right? So why didn’t you fight back when I was hitting you?"

"They say ’to hit is to cherish, to scold is to love.’ Looking at your attitude, you must love me an awful lot to treat me this way, right?"

Melody: ...

’When it came to being shameless, Keith Coleman really took the cake!’

"Alright then, don’t you run. I’ll break your arms! And I’ll break your legs, too! I’ll put you in a wheelchair so you can’t even take care of yourself for the rest of your life."

"How is that any different from murdering your own dear husband?" Of course, Keith Coleman wasn’t just going to stand there and take a beating, so he jumped up and ran.

Rose Shaw immediately chased after him.

Watching the two of them, Melody Monroe gradually broke into a fond, knowing smile.

’Keith Coleman seems like a good guy, actually. It’s nice how this part of the plot has gone off the rails.’

...

When Melody Monroe returned home, a little figure immediately rushed toward her.

"Don’t hug Mommy just yet, wait until I take my coat off." Melody Monroe quickly shed her down jacket, afraid of making Ian Monroe cold.

"Mommy, quick, warm your hands. Is the frostbite on your hands any better?"

"It’s all better now. Caleb White gave me some ointment, and it cleared up after I applied it a few times. Besides..." Melody Monroe glanced toward the kitchen.

Evan Fairchild, wearing an apron, walked out holding a bowl of hot soup.

"Besides what?" Ian Monroe immediately asked.

"Besides, my sugar daddy spent a ton of money on a bunch of heaters, so the palace set is really warm now."

"Sugar daddy?" Ian Monroe didn’t quite understand the term.

"Ian Monroe, get back to your homework. I want to see it in half an hour." Evan Fairchild immediately sent his son away.

Although Ian Monroe wanted to spend a little more time with his mother, he was already in the habit of studying and would feel uneasy himself if he didn’t finish his homework.

"Bunny, let’s go to the study."

At his words, Bunny let out a couple of grunts and ran upstairs after Ian Monroe.

Evan Fairchild walked over and took Melody Monroe’s hand. Seeing that her hands were once again fair and smooth, his expression finally relaxed. Just a few days ago, they had been frostbitten.

"So, I hear I’m also supposed to be installing air conditioning in Solara Palace?"

"It’s already installed."

"Isn’t that a bit extravagant?"

"You’ll be filming in Solara Palace until May of next year. Once this series gets popular, Solara Palace is bound to become a must-visit destination for fans. You can be the one to set the ticket prices."
