His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 204: The Intimidating Younger Sister 

Seeing Melody appear by the doorway, a sweet smile emerged on Sarah's tired face.

"Mellie, you're here!"

Sarah exclaimed "Perfect timing.I just wrapped things up on my end!"

Everyone heard Sarah's excited voice and looked in the direction she was shouting.

A slender figure dressed in black emerged from the door not too far away.

Warm, golden sunlight shone behind her, making it look like she was shining brightly. The hat she wore on her head, which matched the rest of her black outfit, covered most of her palm-sized face.

If Sarah hadn't called out the name of the person who just arrived, the people in the set wouldn't have known that beneath the pitch-black hat was a devastatingly beautiful face.

Given that Melody was on a show with Sarah, the onlookers turned to each other and began discussing what was on their minds in whispers.

"Oh my God, that's Sarah's younger sister Melody! She looks so much more photogenic in person.I always thought she looked pretty thanks to video filters and the like, but I didn’t expect her to be so beautiful!"

"I totally agree.Look at that pure face of hers.What's her secret? Never did I imagine Sarah Sullivan's younger sister would look this pure and innocent."

"So beautiful...even her complexion is something to behold!"

There were other discussions happening in the background. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Most of them praised Melody’s appearance.

Others were jealous of how radiant she was.

Amidst all those discussions, Sarah tidied herself and stood up to greet her sister, followed closely by her manager Tyrone.

The man's eyes lit up in fascination every time he saw Melody.

He wanted to ask her if Melody had ever considered going into show business, but fear gripped his mind and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

If Melody was willing to enter the entertainment industry, he could be her manager and make a new name for himself along the way.

He could easily rise in fame as one of the top managers in the industry.

How could he, Tyrone Hall, a man who valued money as much as his own life, not be ecstatic about the presence of a golden goose like Melody Sullivan? It was almost as if he was fated to meet her.

There was one hurdle, though; Melody’s aura was strong, even for someone as experienced in the entertainment industry as Tyrone.

He could've greeted the woman like Sarah did, but he found himself acting like a dog whose tail was tucked between his legs.

Melody took a quick glance at Tyrone and presumed the man had something to say.

She nodded as if to say, ‘You may speak"

Tyrone understood and beamed at Melody with a subtle bow.

"Glad you could visit, Miss Sullivan.I hope you don't mind, but your sister still has a shoot tomorrow morning, so I hope you could help watch over her tonight."

He gestured slightly towards Sarah.

"Sarah here has to be careful on what she uses to clean herself and on the things she eats.We wouldn't want her to be a bit pudgy tomorrow when we begin shooting!"

Sarah glared at Tyrone impatiently.

"Tyrone, you're not my babysitter.Plus, I've been working straight for more than a month.Can't you let me indulge for just one night?"

"No!"

Tyrone snorted disdainfully.

"If it wasn’t for the fact that you're struggling to control your diet, do you think I would allow you to indulge in whatever you want to stuff into your mouth? You're on a soft diet, Sarah.No fatty meats!"

Melody crossed her arms in front of her chest and watched the two bicker at each other with a smile.

It was amusing to see Sarah going up against someone who kept her actions in check.

As Tyrone finished speaking, Melody said, "If you're so concerned about my sister, why don’t you keep an eye on her yourself?"

The moment he heard Melody speak, Tyrone was stunned.He didn’t expect the woman to take the initiative to invite him over.

From his point of view, Melody seemed like a person incapable of interacting with outsiders.

Getting close to her felt like a trek to the summit of a blizzard-battered mountain; she was noble-looking yet cold in demeanor, and she radiated a vibe that made people unknowingly submit to her.

Seeing that Tyrone was still in a disbelieving daze, Sarah reached out to pat his shoulder and chuckled.

"Earth to Tyrone, are you there?"

She blurted out jokingly.

"Let's go! We don't have all day, you know."

Tyrone followed Sarah's side closely.

He thought to himself for a bit, and as soon as he closed the distance between him and his talent he asked, "Is your sister just being polite?"

Sarah squinted at him with her eyebrows furrowed.

"You think too much!"

She swerved her head to him and spat, "What, my sister needs to be polite to you?"

After saying that, Sarah sped up a few steps to distance herself from Tyrone, who obviously didn’t know he offended her.It couldn't be helped.

Tyrone always ended up acting silly in front of Melody.

Sarah grumbled and shook her head.She didn’t want to associate with fools like him.

Tyrone, on the other hand, was lost.

Was it something he said? Was there something he couldn't read from Sarah's little thoughts? Extremely annoyed at the woman's arrogance and contempt, Tyrone folded his arms in front of his chest and stared at Sarah's back, grumbling in a low register.

"Tsk.What's so great about having a younger sister?" He muttered.

But then, he doubted himself, ‘I guess having a younger sister is great?’

Sarah originally thought that Melody rode a motorcycle to meet her.

After all, it was a mode of transportation Melody used whenever she had to go to school.If it was just the two of them, it would be enough.

However, with Tyrone as their chaperone, the three of them would definitely not fit on one motorcycle.

She was already planning to ask Tyrone about his car when Melody revealed she had her own car parked by the driveway.

Sarah was surprised.She certainly didn't expect Melody would be driving a car herself.

Looking at the old Mercedes-Benz that Melody owned, Sarah turned to the direction of her sister.

"Melody, do you have a driver's license for this?" She asked out of disbelief.

"I do.Don't worry about it," said Melody.

"Get in the car! I'll drive."

Sarah opened the door to the passenger seat and let Tyrone in first.

Sarah knew that Melody had things under control.She pulled out her phone and plotted their destination on a navigation app.

Turning on the GPS, she handed her phone to Melody.

"Melody, I already booked a restaurant for us to eat.The route we have to take to get there is on my phone!"

Melody's beautiful pink lips curved up into a smile.

How thoughtful and considerate! She glanced at the navigation app on Sarah's phone, but she didn't take Sarah's phone.Sarah looked at her sister, her expression a little confused.

"Mellie, aren't you going to use a navigation app?" She inquired.

"No need,"

Melody responded softly.

Tyrone quickly cleared his throat to interrupt.

"Melody is familiar with the place, Sarah.She doesn't use navigation apps to get to where she wants to go, unlike you who's always stuck on the back seat and doesn’t know anything."

Sarah turned to Tyrone with a frown.

"Oh, what do you know, Tyrone? Melody knows the way because she's awesome! She remembers routes at a glance, and already knows what's the best route to take so we can get to where we need to go, faster!"

She explained, gesturing towards Melody.

Tyrone wanted to refute Sarah on her remark.

He was already used to bickering with her on many things, and to be familiar with the road was something that should have been common knowledge. Just as he was about to speak, he thought of

what happened at the amusement park that one time.He decided not to speak anymore.He always had his way with words around people.

He knew exactly what to say to get to their good side, but in the face of someone as intimidating as Melody Sullivan, Tyrone felt it was better for him to be quiet.

Just like what Sarah said, Melody didn't use any navigation tool.She already knew the best route to take and reached their chosen destination in the shortest time possible.

As soon as she got out of the car, Sarah can’t help but praise her sister with a hug.

"Melody, your driving skills are insanely good.You were driving so steadily that I fell asleep in a car for the first time!"

Melody smiled at Sarah and gently hugged her back.

The three of them entered a steak house.

Although it looked like a place that people would line up to get in, Sarah had booked a table in advance.

They were immediately led to their table.

After sitting down, Sarah heard the noisy environment around the three of them and looked at Melody with guilt.

"Mellie, I'm sorry if we ended up getting a table in the middle of all this.I heard the private room was booked in advance three months ago!" Sarah said, folding her arms while grumbling.

The steakhouse had been pretty famous recently.It was already very rare for Sarah to book an available table.

Melody didn't really care where they ended up sitting.

The only thing that mattered to her was that the food was delicious.

With a calm smile, she looked towards Sarah and said, "I don't mind.As long as the food is delicious, I can sit anywhere."

Melody politely excused herself and went to the bathroom.

Tyrone then leaned over to Sarah and whispered, "Is your sister usually this cold to you?"

Looking at Melody’s expression just now, Tyrone felt like he wouldn't be able to keep his cool if he were the one in Sarah's place.He silently admired Sarah's courage.

She definitely stuck to her sister without any fear in her heart.Sarah looked at him in confusion and frowned.

"What is that supposed to mean? Does she look that unenthusiastic to you?"

"She was talking to you some time ago, wasn't she? If there's anyone here being a stick-in-the-mud, that'd be you."

Sarah looked away with her chin raised high.

Tyrone silently wiped the cold sweat forming on his forehead.

In the back of his head, he finally realized that the Sullivan sisters were beyond the understanding of normal people.This is a test if directly editing the document will save it or not.Please delete this afterward.Thanks!]
