His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Elizabeth had a sneaking suspicion that Kieran's sudden outpour of affection and concern for Melody was prompted by his grandmother, Gwendolyn, who had instructed him to do so in advance.

When Elizabeth returned to her mother's house, she made a point of asking her mother about this particular situation.She took a step forward, a grin plastered on her face as her eyes landed on Kieran.

"Kieran, you came at the right time today.I have a lot of things that I want to ask you," Elizabeth said.

Kieran glanced at her with a serene expression on his face.He did not appear to be enthusiastic as he said, "We're all family here, so no need to be polite.I'll entertain your questions later."

Elizabeth flashed a faint smile before turning to face Melody.Her once warm and pleasant eyes instantly became cold the moment her gaze fell on Melody.

Elizabeth was visibly unhappy to see Melody, but she acted like a loving and affectionate mother in order to keep up appearances.

"My daughter has been giving me a hard time ever since.As you know, she didn't grow up under my care.She lived in the countryside for several years, and she also learned self-defense during her stay there.When she came back here, it was like she was looking down on everyone.No one could even tell her about it personally because they knew that she would be angry.She'll throw a temper tantrum and even have a physical confrontation with them if they say anything that she doesn't like."

Elizabeth heaved a heavy sigh and continued, "Melody's behavior really gives me a headache.I wanted to ask you for a favor, Kieran.I heard that being in the military would help straighten out my daughter's crooked behavior.I am planning on sending her in and letting her stay for a few years."

"I have heard of several news about parents complaining how their sons can't control their urge to get into a fight.This is just my opinion, but I believe that even if a child is homeschooled, their violent tendencies are still there.The previous efforts could be considered to be in vain then."

"I have a friend who is a mother of two sons.She once told me that they couldn't control their eldest son anymore, so they sent him off for mandatory military service for a two-year term so that he could learn to manage his unconventional ideals and control his impulses."

"Parents only want what's best for their children, but still, there are some boys who are stubborn and they refuse to be disciplined," Elizabeth muttered worriedly.

She continued, "It is not easy for me to ask you for a favor, Kieran.I never even planned on considering sending Melody off for military service since she's still young and I've never heard of a girl being a part of the military."

The people around them heard everything that Elizabeth had said.It seemed like they had gained a new understanding of who Melody Sullivan was in the family.

Melody was a unique presence in the room because she was the focus of the conversation.

She couldn't care less, so she just sat on the chair tiredly, letting them talk however they liked.

'So this is how things are going to be, huh? Establishing a position of authority is the first move.Now, they plan to send me away so that I won't be a nuisance to them.How cunning"

Melody pondered to herself.

It was known that absolute obedience and compliance were the most necessary factors when serving in the military.

It was well understood that once one had enlisted for mandatory military service, it would be impossible to get out of it.
