Melinda President Fox’s Love

Chapter 160 Is She So Terrifying?
She grabbed Stephanie’s hand and stuffed the bottle of medication into it. “Apply this onto Miss Fox’s face. Just a thin layer will
do. Thanks!” Then, she scrambled off toward the kitchen.
Stephanie was a little caught off-guard.
Jennifer watched as the silhouette disappeared behind the door and the living room fell silent.
Stephanie crouched down beside Jennifer. “I-I’ll apply it now, Miss Fox.”
She took Jennifer’s silence as tacit permission.
“Even if you’re mad at her, Miss Fox, you shouldn’t torture yourself.” Stephanie uncapped the bottle.
Meanwhile, Melinda bustled around the kitchen whipping up a meal. After being a single mother for six years, cooking was now
second nature to her!
Jennifer had to be worn out by now. She didn’t even have the congee, so I’m sure she’s hungry.
Thus, Melinda was not at all worried about Jennifer skipping lunch. She simply focused on getting the food ready.
Back inside the lavish living room, Stephanie applied the medicine to Jennifer’s face before carefully putting the mask back on.
“How do you feel. Miss Fox?” Stephanie checked. “Do you notice a cooling
sensation?”
“Yeah,” Jennifer replied rather sullenly.
“Miss Fox, she was still in her research lab at 1100PM last night. I saw her. She didn’t even have dinner,” Stephanie shared out
of sympathy for Melinda. “She didn’t even get to eat breakfast because of what you demanded of her this morning
Jennifer’s expression darkened. “You’re too young. You don’t have a good eye for character.”
“But... Miss Fox, Stephanie objected softly. “If she’s just a phony, why would she stay in the lab for so long? She’s definitely even
more of an expert than Dr. Cohen. The email proves that.”

“I never said she was a phony.” Jennifer gave it a lot of thought. “She has kept so much hidden all this time. She must’ve had an
ulterior motive for approaching Stanley with her two children. I suspect that she plotted everything right from the start seven
years ago.”
Stephanie’s eyes flickered in startlement. She was too shocked to speak. Could Mrs. For be such a terrifying person?
At 11.55AM, Melinda appeared in the living room with an apron wrapped around her. “Lunch is ready, Miss Fox. Please enjoy
Jennifer purposely checked the clock on the wall. She was stunned to find that Melinda had prepared everything so quickly.
Stephanie got up and accompanied Jennifer to the dining room.novelxo.com fast update
Jennifer looked as stern, distant, and grim as ever.
Melinda wasn’t anxious. She remained as cool as a cucumber. Why would minor hindrances such as this
stump her? It was nothing compared to how much she suffered while raising the children all by herself for the last six years.
Just as she thought, Jennifer was well and truly hungry. The older woman sat down at the dining table and didn’t attempt to ruin
the meal.
As Jennifer studied the food on the table, Melinda studied the former’s expression to figure out what she was thinking.
It was simple fare without any fancy ingredients, but they were the best of Melinda’s cooking and a well- balanced meal
altogether.
There were braised ribs, beef stir-fry, baked fish, mashed potato, garlic asparagus, mushroom salad..
Jennifer was genuinely shocked. A person would need to be a pretty experienced cook to prepare all of this food in such a short
amount of time. Once again, Melinda had surprised her, but naturally, she didn’t make that known.
Stephanie’s mouth watered at the sight of the laden table.
Since Jennifer wasn’t planning on destroying any tableware this time, Melinda went into the kitchen and brought out two bowls of
rice. As Jennifer’s personal maid, Stephanie usually had her meals with Jennifer
too.

Melinda set a bowl of rice down in front of Jennifer and Stephanie.
“Sit.” Jennifer commanded curtly. “Eat with us.”
Melinda was a little taken aback. “Yes, Miss Fox. She was the only one who was still standing, so she got a bowl of rice for
herself and sat down.
Though the atmosphere in the dining room remained rather icy, she wasn’t afraid.
She quietly ate a bowl of rice and a few bites of every dish where everything tasted pretty good..
This was Jennifer’s first time eating a simple home-cooked meal like this. She found it rather tasty too. There was something
special about the flavors that she couldn’t quite describe. That being said, her expression remained chilly.
Stephanie didn’t dare voice her compliments out loud, so she did it through her actions by heartily digging into three bowls of rice
along with the food.
When Jennifer was around, Stephanie didn’t even have the guts to address Melinda as Mrs. Fox.
Once Jennifer was done with her meal, she set her cutlery down and took a napkin from Stephanie before she proceeded to dab
at her lips.
Her expression was hostile as she said, “Even if you manage to treat me, Melinda, I will never come to like you.”
Hah. As if I ever expected you to like me.
“Ever since the day I decided to provide for Monica’s education, I began raising her as my future daughter-in-law, and she has
not disappointed me. She has helped the company soar to greater heights.” Jennifer’s voice was cold as she repeated
emphatically, “She’s the best candidate to be Mrs. Fox.”
