Chapter 459

Yoel was caught off guard when Melody jumped on him. He wanted to push her away but
was afraid that she would fall. ‘You are scared now? Why did you do it then?’

However, he himself was also nervous and scared. He coaxed with a stiff face, “Get off me first. I won’t
be able to explain it later…”

“No, no. You need to protect me. I’m not lying. My dad and aunt are really scary.” Unlike the brave girl
she was when she ran away, she was nearly scared to death.

Melody had her arms wrapped around Yoel’s neck tightly. He even had the desire to die while his heart
was screaming, ‘You think I don’t know how scary your dad and aunt are? That’s why you should get
down right at this moment!’

However, he was afraid he would scare Melody even more if he screamed at her. Hence, he could only
try to be like a big wolf and slowly comforted her, “Be a good girl. Get down now, and we can talk it
over…”

Melody did not dare to get down. She saw people getting down the car and on their way to the house.
Her heart was pounding loudly. In the end, she hid her head and buried her face in Yoel’s chest to
pretend that she was not there. She was murmuring, “You can’t see me, you can’t see me…”

Yoel was speechless. ‘Is this what they meant when a guilty person gives himself away by consciously
protesting his innocence?’ He was amused by Melody’s childishness.

When Ross and Sage finally entered the living room, their blood pressure rushed up to their head as
they saw Yoel hugging Melody and smiling wretchedly. “Yoel, what are you doing? Let go of her!”
“Melody, what are you doing? Get down now!”



Ross and Sage shouted out at the same time, and they were both very angry. Luther was slow to
respond and had to stop screaming. He nearly hurt himself because of that.

Melody was so scared that she accidentally dropped the game controller on the floor. Her ears really
stood up like a little bunny. Just when she raised her head a little, she hid back when she saw Ross
and Sage’s angry faces.

Yoel’s body became stiff, and was scared to death because of Sage’s scolding. Suddenly, a small voice
sounded beside his ears, “Will you look down on me if I go over, kneel down, and ask for forgiveness
now?”

“No,” Yoel answered immediately. To be honest, even Yoel was thinking about doing the same time.

Since she got her answer, she looked for an opportunity, jumped off Yoel and looked for a place to
kneel before Ross and Sage walked over to catch her. She was pinching her ear lobe with her hands
and was fast to admit her mistake. “Dad, aunt, and little uncle! I was wrong! Before anyone else started
talking, she looked at them with her big round teary eyes. “Don’t hit me…” As if anyone had really hit
her before.

Rose, Sage, and Luther’s faces were dark like charcoal. They looked at Melody and then looked again
at Yoel, who was behind Melody. For some reason, Yoel started to feel a little guilty when he was
glared at by the three of them. He thought whether he should kneel down together with Melody.
However, he did not know what he had done wrong. “So you are Melody?” Suddenly, a low and deep
voice disturbed the awkward and complicated moment. That voice attracted Melody to look for the
person who was talking. She diverted her attention from her three elders to a handsome uncle standing
at the side. ‘This uncle… is quite handsome looking too. Just a little wee bit lesser than Brother Rich.’
