Melissa trembled, then turned her gaze to see Leonard's serious expression. "Going abroad for three years?"

  "Whether it's for advanced studies or training, my father told me…… we are only allowed to marry when we have sufficient ability to take over the family."

  Leonard's faint tone showed that indeed it was a little hard for him to say.

  He and Mellisa had gone through a thousand hardships, so of course things like marriage would be another test for them.

  It was just that their wedding would be delayed, so the man looked quite hesitant.

  At this moment, Mellisa didn't speak, she just sat quietly in his arms. Her eyes calmly closed as she sank into a deep thought.

  The silence of midnight spread throughout the living room.

  Leonard didn't want to bother her. But he stared at Mellisa's face with a pair of sharp eyes, trying to see through her mind.

  The two people embraced in silence, while the butler outside the window was crouching beside the grass along with the other servants, staring dumbfounded at this scene.

  "This… Am I getting old? Take a closer look, that girl… isn't she a bit like Billie?"

  The servants looked at each other and nodded at the same time. "You're not the only one who thinks like that."

  Tonight, none of them went to the Flower Hall to attend the dinner banquet, but they also heard about everything that happened in the front yard.

  The butler peeked into the living room for a moment, and wiped his eyes excitedly. "That Billie… is she really a girl?"

  The waiter again answered in unison, "It should be!"

  "Oh, it's true what they said. Our little Billie turns out to be Miss Mellisa Mayer whose identity has shocked the whole city of Bandung! Great, this is great! No wonder the young master is getting better lately! Finally he is getting married!"

  "Sir, lower your voice! Young master seems to have heard it!"

  The butler was too excited, and his voice became louder.

  After the servant reminded him from the side, he covered his mouth to reduce his excitement.

  Several people peeked at them again. The old butler immediately said, "You! Hurry upstairs and prepare warm water for the young master! Both of them must be tired after attending the banquet earlier."

  "Also, prepare two cups of warm milk and light snacks, and put them on the bedside table. Remember to close all doors tightly! Tonight, no one is allowed to wander around!"

  As a form of concern, this butler wanted to provide a warm and romantic atmosphere for their happiness.

  "Oh, by the way, take some roses in the garden and put some on the bed. What are you waiting for? Go quickly!"

  The servants dispersed after getting the order, but the old butler still stood in front of the window with a relieved grin for a long time.

  It's great, it turns out that the young master is still straight!……

  At that time, the voice outside the window gradually faded away and stopped at a point.

  Leonard looked away from the window reluctantly. At this moment, Melissa, who was sitting in his arms, suddenly moved.

  She raised her eyes and stared at him, traces of tension welling up in her eyes.

  Melissa pursed the corners of her mouth, her expression still calm and indifferent. "Since I'm going overseas, I should probably get ready first."

  Such an answer was unexpected.

  Leonard blinked, and pulled Mellisa's soft waist closer. "Are you willing to go?"

  "Yes!" Mellisa answered easily. "Your father's real purpose of sending us overseas was also to train us. Now that the problem with Luke and his father is settled, no one else should be able to disturb us anymore. Your father made such an arrangement because there must be a reason, by the way. That's why I don't mind."

  Mellisa's reasonable words made Leonard's heart warm……

  His eyes blazed at the sight of her, and the next second he couldn't help but hug her, lower his head, and kiss her deeply.

  The kiss came quickly, and Mellisa was unprepared.

  Sensing the man's soaring enthusiasm and undisguised excitement, she responded to it as much as she could.

  After a while, Leonard let go of Mellisa, pressing their foreheads against each other. He said in a hoarse voice, "Mellisa, if you go abroad for three years, do you know what it means?"

  Mellisa's head was still spinning, and her breath was still gasping for air. She nodded and shook her head shakily. She couldn't think straight now, so she could only ask in a stupid tone, "What does it mean?"

  "That means…" Leonard closed his eyes and sighed. "Our wedding…… it's going to be postponed until those three years are finished, don't you feel mistreated?"

  Oh, that's what he's worried about?!

  Melissa shook her head and smiled lightly. "Do you think that I won't be happy with us not getting married now?"

  Leonard didn't answer, but slightly pursed the corners of his lips approvingly.

  Seeing this, Mellisa patted him on the shoulder. "Do you think I'm that weak? Is there any difference between celebrating our wedding now and in three years? To be honest, I am actually really looking forward to our wedding in three years. That time, maybe…"

  After the words fell, Mellisa paused, and a light of hope appeared in her clear eyes. "At that time, we can also let our child be the flower girl for us."

  As soon as such a thought occurred, Mellisa's heartbeat couldn't help but pump faster.

  She thought spring flowers would bloom at that time, and there would be two little girls in charge of carrying flowers at their wedding venue.

  Lilia's baby and hers.

  At this moment, Leonard half closed his eyes, and gently caressed Mellisa's cheek. "Then, if you want it this way, we will go next month."

  "Yeah, let's go." Mellisa replied calmly, but soon her expression changed subtly. "Do you still remember the person I told you about earlier?"

  "Of course! My people in Jakarta have investigated the car accident that year, including all flights and train routes. Since you were rescued, the other party should have taken you somewhere. If we can trace the travel log, there must be other clues."

  Hearing this, Mellisa lowered her eyelids. "I also checked these things back then, but I didn't find anything. Do you think it was Frans who saved me at that time?"

  This suspicion was inexplicable, and Melisa also felt a little strange.

  Mellisa was saved about five years ago, and if it was Frans, then he would have been only about 30 years old.

  Had a man that young already become a ruthless individual capable of secretly assigning her to do things?

  After Mellisa finished speaking, Leonard immediately narrowed his eyes. "Do you suspect him?"

  "Well, it's just a suspicion. I don't have any conclusive evidence. It's all because his appearance tonight is too weird. I'm pretty sure of myself. I've never seen him before, but a sudden meeting with him like earlier is too strange, and I've always felt his intention wasn't so pure!"

  Leonard looked at Mellisa's worried expression, and with the tip of his teeth biting the corner of his lips, he said, "When I put the monitoring equipment in Uncle Lockhart's study, I heard a word about Frans. He said his base was on the Laos-Myanmar border and that he wielded some power in Indonesia."

  But the man didn't care about this matter.

  If it weren't for Mellisa's reminder, he would have almost ignored this incident.

  Leonard's eyes were deep, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at Mellisa with a question,? "You said you were a few kilometers from the crash site when you woke up, right?"

  "Yes! That's right!"
