Edward's teeth clenched as he glanced down, catching Melody's hands sneaking toward his

belt.

He sucked in a sharp breath, surprised by her boldness.

"Whoa, three years since your injury, and you still have those washboard abs?" Melody blurted, surprise lacing her voice.

"Tsk. surprisingly tight too," she added, running her fingers across his stomach in a teasing manner. "You doing sit-ups in bed every day? You're a naughty boy, huh?" She giggled.

Melody's playful teasing pricked at Edward's sensitive spot. Her mention of his disability three years prior dredged up dark memories. Still, she seemed oblivious to the pain her words caused. With each jest, Edward's expression darkened, the weight of his past bearing down on him.

Momentarily, he pushed aside the reminder of his disability. No one had dared to confront his past so directly before.

His temple throbbed as he clenched his teeth, his fingers pinching Melody's soft waist. "What do you think you're doing? Touch me again, and I'll cut off your arms!"

With each playful poke, Edward felt a surge of adrenaline, an urge to put this troublemaker in her place.

Yet, Melody didn't relent. Instead, she chuckled mischievously. "Oh, I dare you! Do you have the heart to do it? Won't you feel guilty for hurting me?"

Melody's provocation challenged Edward's authority, and he snapped with a stern tone, "Bernard!"This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

This playful Melody was far too mischievous, far too daring! Edward vowed to kick her out of the Moore Residence that very night.

"Throw her out!" Edward roared, his voice booming through the room. "Get out of here!" he bellowed, eyes flashing at Melody.

Bernard had peeked through the cracked door, only to be slammed back by Edward's yell. He covered his mouth in shock. 'Did Mr. Moore fall for that shameless woman's tricks?' he thought worriedly. Back inside, Edward glared at Melody as she slowly lowered her dress straps, revealing her smooth shoulders and delicate collarbones.

Her hand lingered on the strap, a silent dare for him to call Bernard back. As if to say, "Go ahead, call him in. I'll take this dress right off." Edward gritted his teeth, cursing under his breath. "Damn woman!" he hissed.

"Go on. Call him," Melody purred, her smile sweet but laced with challenge. "I dare you."

She was taunting him. Did he dare let anyone witness what was happening between them?

"Don't you have shame, woman?!" Edward roared, frustration mixing with a strange

vulnerability. He was losing his cool but didn't know how to handle her.

Staring at Melody, his gaze drawn to her playful yet enticing features. With a defeated sigh, he finally asked. "What do you want from me?"

Edward couldn't believe anyone could truly love a broken man like him.

He was convinced Melody's actions had an ulterior motive. She had to be after some kind of gain from being with him, and he wouldn't let himself fall for her seductive games. Melody adjusted her strap and leaned in close, her breath warm against his ear. "I want you, Ed. I want to kiss you..."

Melody wasn't trying to manipulate him this time, nor was she after any benefit. She genuinely wanted to break through those walls, seeing how guarded he was. Edward hesitated, jaw clenched, then reluctantly pulled her into a hug.

He lowered his gaze, cupped her face, and met her lips with desire and trepidation. His lips explored hers, starting gently, then deepening the kiss. It was a whirlwind for Melody.

For a moment, she was lost. Was this the Edward from this life, suspicious and guarded? Or the one from her past life, the one she hurt, the one who left clutching her ashes?

In that instant, the past and present blurred under his influence. Suddenly, Melody pushed him away and rolled onto the floor.

Edward's eyes darkened as expected, and a sneer emerged on his lips. "Can't keep up charade any longer, can you?"

"Get out now!" he yelled, chasing her out. Then, with a self-deprecating chuckle, a steely glint entered his eyes.

Melody gritted her teeth, struggling for words. "L"

He roared, "Go! Don't you dare come in here without my permission again!"
