Chapter 19
After doing all of this, Jordan began to miss Melanie like never before.
He missed every day that Melanie had once spent with him.
Missed Melanie’s smile…
He missed Melanie’s meticulous care for him….
So, Jordan began to have Secret search for Melanie’s whereabouts.
No matter what, even if he had to search to the ends of the earth, he would definitely find Melanie and bring
her back.
Although he did not fulfill his promise to marry Melanie when she turned thirty, he now understands what he
wants.
He and Danica had already divorced, and he would apologize to Melanie.
The two had been together for twelve years, and as long as he apologized to Melanie, he believed that she would definitely forgive him and come back to him.
A few days later, Anthony finally found out about Melanie’s news.
After Colin and Melanie received their certificates that day, Colin took Melanie to Lenonpool.
And Jordan, upon receiving Melanie’s message, immediately booked a flight to Lenonpool.
Upon landing in Lenonpool, Jordan had not slept a wink all night and had not taken a single bite of food. He
couldn’t wait to rush to Melanie’s estate.
On the way, Jordan was both excited and nervous, feeling like riding a roller coaster.
I didn’t expect that as soon as I arrived at the manor, I was stopped by armed bodyguards.
Jordan was both angry and frustrated. Today, he was determined to see Melanie.
Just as I was about to recklessly charge ahead, a graceful figure in a rose-patterned dress appeared.
After all, having grown up together, Jordan recognized it instantly.
– It was Melanie!
“Melanie!” Jordan exclaimed excitedly.
In my mind, I imagined Melanie seeing various expressions that she would have.
Heartache, anger, tears…
But never did I expect that in the end, what appeared was tranquility.
It was a calm and distant demeanor when encountering strangers.

Jordan’s heart sank, and immediately a dense and sour feeling arose.
Melanie walked over with graceful steps.
“How did you come? Don’t you need to accompany Danica?”
Melanie looked at Jordan’s expression without a hint of emotion, really treating them like an insignificant
stranger.
Mentioning Danica, the former rival, there was also no emotion.
Jordan could accept Melanie scolding him, hitting him, but he just couldn’t stand her reaction like this.
The calmness meant that Melanie no longer cared about him.
Jordan forced out a smile, but it looked even worse than crying.
“Melanie, Danica and I got divorced. Can we talk alone?”
When Melanie came over, there were no bodyguards and servants around. She wanted some alone space.
This way, he could express his feelings to Melanie without any hesitation and apologize for his past actions.
Upon hearing Jordan’s request, Melanie immediately refused without hesitation.
“I didn’t think there was anything to talk about between the two of us. Your divorce with Danica has nothing
to do with me.”
“Please, I beg you, I have something to tell you.”
The usually proud Jordan, for the first time, showed a pleading expression, and it was directed towards
Melanie.
When Melanie was surprised, she also felt a bit ironic.
If it were the passionate and devoted Melanie who used to love Jordan so much, willing to give everything,
she would definitely agree to any request from Jordan.
But now Melanie only felt bored.
“But I didn’t want to waste time listening to some irrelevant nonsense.”
Jordan’s eyes instantly turned red, he never expected Melanie, who he had loved for a whole twelve years, to
be so heartless.
“Melanie, you must have been mad at me, right? I know, it was me who wronged you in the past, and did a lot
of things that hurt you…”
Jordan’s words were not finished when Melanie impatiently interrupted, saying, “Have you said enough? If you
have, then just leave.”
After Melanie finished speaking, she walked inside without hesitation, not wanting to see Jordan again.
This heartless Melanie made Jordan feel unfamiliar and helpless, and he couldn’t enter the heavily guarded
5328%
mansion.
Jordan could only shout Melanie’s name.
Watching Melanie getting further and further away, Jordan pleaded with an almost trembling voice, “Melanie,
I would do anything, really, anything. Just, just give me a chance, I really have a lot to say to you.”
