Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Margaret’s words shocked Astrid and Ulric so much. 

The moment Margaret said those words, Astrid’s eyes widened. 

Even Ulric opened his mouth slightly, his eyes filled with shock, 

Ken wants to marry that ugly woman? With that woman’s look, can’t make out with her even after turning off the lights. What is Ken thinking? Is he crazy, or does he have another motive? Ulric’s mind raced, but he could not find an answer. 

However, there was a vague sense of uneasiness and uncertainty in his heart. It was as if something had changed and was getting further and further away from him. 

Before Ulric could figure out why he felt this way, Margaret took out their marriage certificate as if she were presenting a treasure. “Look, this is their marriage certificate. I was about to send it to them, but I ran for half a day today and my strength has been exhausted. Since you’re here, help me send it up. Something happened to Melody’s family. She has a high fever and is hospitalized. She’s on the tenth floor of the inpatient department 

Unlike Ulric, Astrid did not think much about it. She only felt that her son finally did not have to marry an ugly woman from the countryside and be mocked by the entire Silverlake. She was already overjoyed. 

Astrid swallowed hard and took the marriage certificate happily Then, she said, “If you’re not feeling well, go back and rest quickly. You’ve just recovered from a serious illness and need to recuperate more. Ulric and I will help you send this marriage certificate up. I can give my daughter–in–law a big present. 

Margaret nodded and smiled again. She held the maid’s hand and left. 

As soon as Margaret left, Astrid could no longer hide her joy. She said ecstatically, “Ulric! That’s great! I knew God would bless us since I often went to the church! Now you don’t have to marry that country girl anymore. Margaret has helped us a lot 

When Ulric heard this, confusion appeared in his eyes, 

He asked, “What country girl are you talking about? Isn’t Ken’s marriage partner the ugly woman who used to be the top socialite in Silverlake?” 

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Astrid was stunned. She suddenly patted Ulric’s shoulder and said, “Ulric, are you mistaken? That ugly woman is the girl from the countryside, Melody. The top socialite in Silverlake is her sister, Mabel” 

Ulric was instantly stunned, thinking, ‘So… I have been wrong all along?” 

After realizing he had confused Mabel and Melody, Ulric’s expression became even darker. 

He couldn’t help but wonder, If Ken doesn’t care about the title of the top socialite, why did he marry that ugly woman from the countryside? 

“We have to find out immediately who Melody is,” said Ulric 

“Who could she be? I’ve already investigated. She’s Wilona’s daughter. After Yolanda entered the Fox family, she thought of a way to get that girl to the countryside. That girl only returned this year. Who do you think she is? A useless country bumpkin!” 

“Is that true? Ulric still didn’t want to believe it. 

However, Astrid sent the results of the investigation directly to his phone. He read the information and confirmed that Melody was an ordinary girl who had grown up in the countryside.

“Am I overthinking? It Ken’s goal only to make Grandma happy if that’s the case, I seem to have overestimated Ken. Ulne thought 

One had to know that it was a big deal for people of their class to marry someone. A wife could be a springboard or a representation of their identity. But they would never marry a country woman like Melody, who had no background, no ability, and was extremely ugly 

After thinking this through, Ulric was no longer tense. Instead, he took the marriage certificate from Astrid’s hand, wanting to go up and see Ken’s expression. 

“He’s marrying an ugly freak. He probably won’t look good. With that thought in mind, Ulric’s lips curled up, and a sly glint flashed across his eyes as he followed Astrid to the tenth floor of the inpatient department. 

When he reached the tenth floor, he saw Ken communicating with the nurse at the ward door,

Ken had always been a meticulous person. He always seemed to be wearing a suit with his buttons buttoned up tightly. covering his Adam’s apple and collarbone tightly. He looked restrained and cold. 

Usually, when he saw Ken like this, Ulric would have a complicated feeling in his heart. But now that he saw Ken, he was in good mood 

“Ken.” Ulrictook the initiative to greet him and said gentlemanly, “I heard Miss Fox has a fever. How is she now?”

He deliberately provoked Ken, but Ken said calmly. “She’s much better. Thank you for being so concerned” 

With that, Ulric suddenly covered his mouth and smiled. “Sorry, I forgot to change how I addressed her. I shouldn’t call her Miss Fox anymore. I should call her Sister–in–law.”

“You’ve changed a lot in the past few years, Ulric said through gritted teeth. 

In the past, Ken could be angered by a few words from him, but now, he felt nothing he said could hurt Ken. 

What has Ken experienced in the past few years when I was not in Silverlake to make him much stronger than before?‘ Ulric wondered: 

“You too, Ken calmly asked, “Is there anything else?” 

If there is nothing else, you can get lost, Ken thought but didn’t say it out loud. 

Ulric deliberately pretended not to understand that Ken was chasing him away. He turned to Astrid and said, “Mom, please go and see… if my sister–in–law needs help. Ken is a man after all It might be inconvenient for him to take care of her 

When he went upstairs, he instructed Astrid to check on Melody 

After all, there might be omissions in the information from the investigation. 

Astrid understood and barged into the ward without waiting for Ken to stop her. 

Ken was 

about to follow when Ulric grabbed the corner of his shirt. “Ken, we haven’t had a good chat since you returned.” 

“I have nothing to talk to you about.” After r saying that, Ken was about to walk in. 

However, in the next second, Ulric suddenly said, “Pearly Antiques…” 

Ken stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Ulric coldly. “Wikit exactly are you going to say?”

In the ward Melody hard just woken up 

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Autrid looking at her from head to toe 

Where: Where am 1o With the question in mind, Melody quickly looked around and confirmed that this was a hospital. 

“Mr. Swanson” She forveil a smile and said. “Why are you here? 

Astrid did not mind to pretend with Melody anymore. She sneered and said, “I wanted to ask you the same question. Aren’t amu very good at medicine? If you’re so good at medicine, why air you here?” 

When Melody saw this, she smiled and said. “Thank you for your praise. My medical skills are not that good. It just so happened that I could cure Margaret’s illness. I’m only better than most of the doctors,” 

Astrid i expression instantly darkened when she heard that. Darn it She was showing off!” 

She und ith a dark expression, I didn’t expect you to have so many tricks up your sleeve even though you’re so ugly. It’s the Fox family’s honor to have someone like you marry into the Swanson family!”
