Chapter 238 Malcolm’s Call
Meryl curled her fingers slightly in confusion. After pondering for a few seconds, she wrapped her arms around Chandler’s muscular waist, stood on tiptoes, and kissed him on the lips.
He froze. Before he could enjoy it, her thin lips had already left his. She looked at him innocently with her watery eyes. “Does it work?”
Chandler smiled, grabbed Meryl’s wrist, and pushed her against the entrance. Stepping closer and pressing against her, he lifted her chin with one hand.
She bit her lower lip, and her heart skipped a beat. Chandler exuded the desires of a mature man, making Meryl’s heart race as if it might leap out of her chest.
“That’s a good idea, but you can give me more.”
The moment Chandler’s kiss fell, Meryl had nowhere to escape. He made love with her on the sofa, at the entrance, in the bathroom, and before the floor-to-ceiling window. It was a sleepless night. The jealous Chandler was incredibly energetic. She had clearly just taken a bath. However, in the end, Meryl was as sweaty as if she had just been pulled straight from the tub. This was their last night at the beach. Meryl was tossed to and from the entire night.
On the return flight, she slept soundly. Beside her, Chandler stared at her peaceful sleeping face with a doting smile. He asked the stewardess for a blanket and gently draped it on her.
Lydia was also on this plane. Last night, Dalton did not return to the hotel, and his phone was unreachable. Lydia learned that he had rushed back to Kingsdom overnight. Of course, there was no need for her to stay at the beach any longer. She bought the earliest flight ticket, only to find that Chandler and Meryl were on the same flight as well.
Lydia felt uncomfortable watching Chandler taking care of Meryl! Dalton abandoned her and left. Why was the man Meryl so casually married to Dalton’s uncle? How could Meryl become her elder?
Lydia was furious. Why was she not as attractive as Meryl? Why did everyone pay attention to her? Malcolm had been urging her to transfer the house to Meryl. Now, even Dalton ignored her. She really couldn’t accept this!
Chandler returned to Kingsdom in advance because of an appointment with an important client. Upon getting off the plane, he went straight to meet the client. The driver dropped Meryl off at home. Just a few minutes after she sat down, her phone rang.
“Meryl, are you back from your business trip? When will you come home? I have prepared all the procedures for the transfer of the ancestral house. You can sign the agreement now.”
It was Malcolm. Meryl found it ironic. When she asked for it, he refused to give it to her. Now that she had lost interest, he tried to offer it at his own expense.
Meryl said coldly, “I wanted the ancestral house because I was a member of the Stone family. Now that I am no longer part of the family, it is of no use to me. You can keep it yourself!”
“Nonsense! You are my daughter. How could you not be a member of the Stone family? Meryl, don’t be willful. Even if you are throwing a tantrum, that’s enough. Do you still need me to beg you?”
Malcolm was very humble in order to make Meryl give in. In his fifties, he had to coax a girl in her twenties every day. Even in the prime of his life, he never treated anyone like this.
“Meryl, your mother misses you and has been talking about you these past few days.”
Celestial Ventures Group had encountered a series of setbacks recently. As the year drew to a close, it should have been a time of peak performance. However, sales during this period hit a new low in nearly a decade. Faced with pressure from the company’s shareholders, Malcolm was deeply troubled. If the situation persisted, given the intense market competition, Celestial Ventures Group might not even survive by the beginning of next year!
Chandler did everything flawlessly, leaving no trace. Yet, Malcolm was certain that this year’s anomalies were connected to him.
