Chapter 291: An Idea
Melody had spent the entire afternoon torn between two thoughts-on one hand, finding a way to get closer to Adam, and on the other, proving once and for all that Melanie was wrong about Adir.
In both cases, she seemed to think that she had the right to planning for both these people.
She paced the small confines of her home, thinking through every possible angle, revisiting old conversations, and weighing her options. It was nearly evening by the time she finally came to a decision.
After a long pause and one last moment of hesitation, she took a deep breath, grabbed her bag, and stepped out of her modest home, her mind made up. She was going to see her mother.
At home, she received a warm but slighlty careful welcome from her mother and she knew her mother was being wary of her due to the last time, when she had walked out in a huff.
She gave her mother a half-smile and quipped, "You’re watching me like I’m about to walk out in another dramatic exit. I promise. I was simply too shocked with the turn of events, mom."
Her mother nodded softly, but the wariness didn’t entirely leave her expression. Melody noticed it right away, her eyes narrowing for a brief second. Of course her mother was being cautious, after all, she was worried about the well being of Melanie Collins. As if she was not trust worthy enough.
Melody blamed Melanie for this. Never before had her mother been wary of her in the past.
Blowing out a breath, Melody reached for her mother’s hand and held it gently. "Have you had any luck with Melanie?" she asked, keeping her tone light.
