Chapter 174 Say Yes
Melinda similed and explained. “My check is swollen because my wisdom teeth are growing again. I’ll be tine in a few days. Just
don’t touch my face. It hurts a lot.”
Stanley gazed at her with gentle eyes as he tapped the tip of her nose with a finger. “How old are you? Wisdom teeth?” He then
ruffled her hair and said. “Alright. I won’t touch your face. Do you want to get some painkillers from the hospital, or do you have
some of your own?”
“It’s fine.” She shook her head and reassured him, “This is all normal. It’ll be fine in a few days. Don’t

“Alright.” After saying this, Stanley pulled out a keychain with a little cartoon doll on it. “Doesn’t this look just like you?”
Melinda carefully studied the doll and intentionally exclaimed, “Not at all! She’s so ugly!” Still, she swiped it away from him. “Is it
for me? Thanks!”
“Look at this. Isn’t it handsome?” he asked, pulling out another keychain. “This is me. I made these two dolls myself.
She stared at the keychain in his hands before snatching it as well. When she shoved the keychain with the girl doll back to him,
she said, “This is mine now. I’ll look at it when I think of you.”
“Silly Billy. You can just call me. It’s so much better to look at my face instead,” Stanley teased.
Afterward, the two smiled in amusement at each other.
“You accepted my gift, so is it time for you to answer me?” He put the keychain away and wrapped his arms around Melinda’s
shoulders while love swirled in his eyes. “Have you made up your mind, Mrs. Fox?”
“I love you,” she replied without hesitation, sincerely gazing into his eyes. “I don’t know when, but I have wished for your
happiness since then. I’ve prayed that I can cure your back, stomach, and mother. I want novelxo.com fast update
After hearing that, Stanley couldn’t hold back any longer. With a broad palm held against the back of Melinda’s head, he pressed
his lips against her soft lips to stop the flow of words. Instantaneously, her heart skipped as her hands clutched his shirt around
his waist. In the meantime, warmth coursed through his blood, and he felt something for the first time in his 38 years of
existence. After some time had passed, the lengthy, drawn-out kiss ended.
As she shyly looked away from his gaze, he massaged her ear while lovingly gazing down at her. “Some bored reporters took
photos of Monica and me at the castle estate—”
“Wait,” she interrupted. “Are you explaining what happened?”
There was a momentary void in his expression, and he asked, “You saw the news?”
“I don’t need any explanations.” Melinda embraced Stanley and buried her face in his warm chest. “I have faith in you
As soon as he heard this, he wrapped his arms around her and felt his heart race for no apparent reason.
“I also have a gift for you.” Then, she swiftly turned back to the table and held a tiny bottle of medicine out to him, complete with
a handwritten label. “This is for your stomach. I’m not positive this will work, but we must give it a shot. Her voice was as clear
and enchanting as a string of tiny bells, and her smile
warmed his soul.
He took the bottle and asked, “How should I thank you? Tell me, what do you want in return?”
“I want you to be a good father to Samuel and Pamela for the rest of your life, even if you have other children in the future,”
Melinda replied casually.
Not realizing anything off about her response, Stanley smiled. “Does this mean you plan on having a third child?”
“Say yes, she urged, impatient as a toddler.
“Very well. I promise you.” His dark eyes shone with a solemn glint. “From now on, no matter how many children we have in the
future, I will never forget my love for Samuel and Pamela. I swear that I will return double the love they should have felt in the
first seven years of their lives.”
She finally calmed down after hearing that. Her face was adorned with a radiant and melancholic soft smile.
