NovelBookChapter 381 The More Good-Looking One Yvette teased Sierra so much that she cvery close to bolting to her room out of sheer embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Daniel and Simon stood back and watched as the event unfolded. From tto time, they would glance at Melody, who stood behind them. When they saw how she had her gaze fixed on Theo, they couldn't help but shake their heads.
As she was intelligent, it was baffling how she failed to understand that she couldn't force happiness.
More importantly, a guy like Theo knew what he liked and didn't like. He was different from the other guys who would feel moved just because a lady was obsessed with them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtInstead, Theo would find Melody repulsive because of the problems she brought him. Eventually, he would steer clear of her.
Melody gazed greedily at Theo's tall, straight figure for a long tbefore she turned away. Looking at Sierra coldly, she asked, "Ms. Shaw, I'm curious about something. You were set to marry Benson. How did you end up with Theo instead?" Before Sierra could respond, Melody continued with a sharp tone, "Did the Shaw family run into sissue on the business front? Was that why you needed to marry into the Gray family? To get ssort of benefits? "As a matter of fact, you didn't have to do something like that to overcbusiness hurdles. You're free to seek help from my family anytyou want. There's no need to sacrifice your marriage." Now that Theo wasn't around anymore, Melody didn't feel the need to conceal her animosity for Sierra. She mocked Sierra for latching onto the Gray family, expressing her disdain for the Shaw family every chance she got.
The look on the faces of Daniel and the others shifted slightly. They cast a concerned glance at Sierra, thinking that her eyes might redden. However, things went a little differently than they thought.
"Ms. Jones, your concerns are unfounded. We don't need an outsider to weigh in on the Shaw and Gray family matters.
"As for Benson, we parted ways amicably. When I was single again, Theo approachedand beggedto marry him. I gave it careful consideration before agreeing to it.
"The Shaw family wasn't the only one thrilled about our marriage. Grandpa Edward was very excited as well.
"Ms. Jones, is there something you don't understand or feel curious about? I'll be glad to answer your questions." Sierra rose to her feet, letting her cold hands dangle by her sides as she met Melody's taunting gaze with a sharp, unwavering stare.
Yvette was visibly excited. Clutching Simon's shirt, she kept shaking him as she lowered her voice, commenting, "Will you look at that? Cee looks absolutely badass when she's being intimidating." Having a younger and submissive friend would have made her feel heartbroken. However, it was more fascinating to have one who was also imposing.
Daniel caught the cold, unforgiving expression on Sierra's face, and he narrowed his eyes. "They really are a married couple. They resemble each other more and more as they go by." Meanwhile, Douglas said in a deep voice after he led Theo a good distance away from the fishing zone.
"Theo, Melody grew up with us as well. You might not have any feelings for her, but you should show her srespect as friends. Don't be that cold and aloof." Theo shook Douglas' hand off, dusted his sleeves, and rationalized, "I don't have feelings for her, and I'm not going to give her false hopes either. This is what's truly best for her.

He did handle today's matter poorly. With that said, he did it for Melody's sake. He wouldn't allow her to be peels on, not even by his best pal.
"You've only known Sierra for a few days. You two might've gotten married, but there is no real love in..." "Douglas Brown!" Theo snarled at Douglas when he noticed how the man was getting more out of line.
Douglas immediately stopped talking, and panic and remorse
flashed in his eyes. He tousled his hair frustratingly and continued softly you We can lash out atall you want. Just show Melody srespect. Don't break her heart."
Theo looked at Douglas, who was practically pleading with him. o.m Frowning, he commented in a deep voice, "Make a move on her if you have feelings for her. Don't miss out on her and regret it later."
Douglas knew that this was Theo's way of giving consent. A wave of gratitude washed byer A him, and he gave him a firm pat on the shoulder.
"Thanks, buddy." "I will show you srespect, but you better keep a leash on her." Theo took two steps forward and suddenly stopped. His tone was laced with menace as he spots"From here on out, I want you to mind your attitude toward Sierra."
