His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Seth remained where he was as Melody walked over to him.He looked at her calmly, watching her get closer to him.

Seeing her take them to account, his expression did not change at all as if he was bothered by what just happened.

Austin stood beside him, holding a set of disinfection kit Seth had instructed him to fetch earlier.

Without a word, Seth picked up the sterilized hot towel with one hand and gently pulled Melody’s hand with the other.

Melody didn't resist and obediently allowed him to wipe her hand.Her gaze lowered, watching Seth’s movements.

He wiped every corner of her hand clean lightly and meticulously.

The back of Melody's hand was fair and tender while her palms were peachy pink.

It felt soft to touch just like a cat's paw.But her palm’s color now was different than usual.It had a striking red mark on it.

Originally, the red mark shouldn't look too serious.

But because it was against Melody's fair palm, it looked more reddish-purple than it actually was.

Seth’s expression finally had a little change, his eyes narrowing.

Melody noticed Seth's reaction, but she did not say anything, waiting for Seth to speak.

Seth furrowed his brows and frowned.

Heartache laced his tone as he said, "Next time before you use your hand to make a move, take any piece of cloth and wrap your hand with it.If you don’t have a cloth you can use, ask Austin to do the beating for you."

Ignoring Austin's pride, Seth even added, "Austin's skills and dexterity are not as good as yours.But if you guide him, he might be somewhat not too far off!"

Austin, whose skills and dexterity weren't enough, silently stood by the side, speechless.

‘Is that my fault? Why are you dragging me?’ He was fine being used as an errand boy and a moving toolbox.

How come he had to be pulled out to be used and then stepped on? Even after doing his job, it was still not enough.

Why? Why was it so difficult to be a tool man now? Feeling like she had just been nagged by a young old man, Melody pretend to earnestly listen to his speech.

Without noticing it, the corners of her lips lifted.

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing her obedient reply, Seth retrieved the dirty towel and gave it back to Austin.He held her hand and led her to the private room.

Only then did he say, "It’s good that you know!"

Axel, who became like air during this series of public displays of affection, stared in their direction lifelessly, shouting deep inside.

He still had not recovered from Melody's explosiveness, alright? Before he could calm himself down, Seth showed him another hard-to-believe scene.

‘Who is that man! Do I know him!?' He mechanically turned his head and stared straight at lven's eyes soullessly.

Words weren't necessary.

That gaze of his clearly meant, ‘Did you see that?’ 

silly look, Iven felt satisfied.He smiled contemptuously, unable to hide the smugness in his eyes, as he sarcastically said, "You're really ignorant.Look at me.I'm so calm.What about you? But I won't blame you.After all, you don’t see Seth often and aren't used to his usual attitude.It's really a big thing for people like you, no?
