Serendipity's Secret (Melanie) novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85 

Melanie wanted to push Edward away, but she hesitated. 

Clearly, Edward had quite a lot to drink, but surprisingly, she didn’t find him repulsive. Instead, she was a little captivated by him. 

But then again, what woman wouldn’t get slightly flustered in a moment like this? 

His good figure and handsome face made him even more alluring while intoxicated. Moreover, he was the one making the first move. Melanie wasn’t exactly someone with strong self–control. She even thought that she wouldn’t be the one to lose anything if she got kissed. 

By the time she snapped out of it, Edward’s hands were already getting a little too bold. 

That woke Melanie up completely. Was the kiss not enough? What else did he have in mind? Did he have those thoughts in mind while she was still pregnant? 

At that thought, Melanie bit his lip. 

Feeling the pain, Edward instantly sobered up. His expression froze when he realized his actions, and he quickly moved to lie down on the other side, “Sorry.” His low, hoarse voice sounded especially sexy at night, and it caused Melanie’s heartbeat to quicken. 

She wondered if he was purposely doing this charming her in the middle of the night. As if it wasn’t enough that he was handsome, he had to have a great voice, too. 

She was a sucker t 

for pleasant voices. 

Melanie pinched her palm before letting out a cold snort. 

“So, you’re not actually drunk. I thought you were wasted.”

With the help of the soft glow of the bedside lamp, Melanie could see Edward smile. He gave a low chuckle before undoing a few buttons on his shirt. 

“I was drunk just a moment ago, but now I’m sober.” 

Melanie didn’t believe him at all. That would be too convenient 

“How much did you drink tonight?” 

Edward gave it some thought. After a while, he answered, “Not that much.” 

Melanie noticed that Edward was speaking a bit slower than usual. She figured that he really must have drunk too much. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be behaving like this compared to his usual composed, elite self 

Ultimately, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. So she got up, opened the thermos, and made him a cup of tea. 

“Get up and have some tea to sober up 

As Edward thanked her, he set the tea on the bedside table. It was too hot to drink immediately, so it would need to cool down a bit. Melanie lay back down, intending to sleep, but just then, Edward asked, “Did Julia tell you about the guys trying to get me drunk?” Taken aback, Melanie briefly didn’t know how she should respond. 

“She did How did you know?” 

Edward sighed. He had even specifically contacted Julia to tell her about it, but he didn’t expect her to b 

this naive. 

Of course it was fun to hang out with the guys, but Edward didn’t enjoy drinking. He had a lot of social engagements at work, so drinking was a regular
