My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 871 - I Don’t Mind Retreating For You!



After Lockhart finished speaking, he paused, and then added. "You don't look at your uncle Leonhart's words when he said that he doesn't care about Lyle, he actually cares. Luke, you must remember that when you want to give the enemy a fatal blow, you have to find their weak point to begin with!"

"Dad, I know what you mean, but it's in the container..." Luke said with a worried face.

A sly light suddenly appeared in Lockhart's eyes, and he raised his hand to interrupt. "Don't worry. There's nothing in that container. I kept all this stuff from you to teach you a lesson! Lately, the situation is not peaceful and uncertain, I've asked people to withdraw all dangerous goods inside the container! We still need to be careful about this sort of thing."

"Now, think carefully about what happened last night. I understood from the start that Leonard said all that just to bully you. For you not to doubt his words at all, all of that proves you've lost a step in the game. He's ahead of you in terms of mind and plan!"

At this point, Luke could only digest it all on his own, and even if he had more reluctance and anger in his heart, he couldn't refute this fact.

Lockhart realized his stupid tolerance and threw a cigar at him. "Okay, don't think about it. One or two failures is nothing."

"The most important thing is that you are aware of your mistakes and learn a lesson from your mistakes. In a moment, I will introduce someone to you. As long as the relationship with this person can be maintained in the future, you will become the heir to the Adler family!"

After those words, Lockhart looked at Luke and raised his lips faintly.

...

It's half past ten at night.

Moonlight in the night sky looks bright, and the light breeze gives off a bit of a faint chill.

When Melissa got out of the caddy with a book in her arms, her figure trembled slightly.

The high-intensity training and study made her a little tired.

Her shoulders hurt and her head hurt.

Right now, below moonlight in front of the villa, there was a tall and slender figure.

With half a cigarette in his hand, he didn't smoke at all. When he looked up and saw Mellisa, he threw the cigarette on the ground.

"Why come back late today?"

Leonard asked sadly as he stepped forward and grabbed her shoulder.

Mellisa leaned in his arms and flipped the book in her hand. "The financial adviser said I learned his lessons well, so I asked him to teach me more today."

Leonard frowned and looked at the book in her hand. He took the book, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes. "Studying too much will only make your condition worse. Tomorrow, I'll let you know that gradual learning is more suitable for you!"

Mellisa smiled, shaking her head. "No, I'm satisfied with where I am now. Speaking of this, if it weren't for the frustration with my family back then, I probably wouldn't have given Leila many learning opportunities."

"Even though the Irwans don't have as many business chains as the Adlers, my family is still working on some projects. I used to be young and stupid, I didn't have any skills and now I want to make up for it."

Mellisa had a clear understanding of herself.

Putting that aside, she always lacked the ability to learn more.

When she got used to the game of life, she was afraid that she would not be able to face those things in front of the big family.

At this time, Leonard looked at Mellisa's tired eyebrows, and when he tightened his arms, he said with a sullen face. "You want to learn, I can understand it. But Mellisa, you are not alone now, so even if you don't think about me, you should consider the child in your stomach!"

"I don't know what my father said to you, but in fact, even if you don't know anything, I don't care at all! The Adler family rules were determined by the older generation. Many customs should have been abolished long ago."

"If you want to improve yourself, no problem. But if you have to work hard like this every day, I don't mind considering giving up the right to inherit the Adler family. Maybe choosing a house in a beautiful mountain with clear air is also a good choice for the two of us to live as a couple."

Leonard said this very seriously, and his handsome face was also serious.

Melissa's steps gradually stopped. She shook her head, and said with a smile. "There is no point in giving up inheritance rights. There is no reason to give up anything that should be yours. But you are right, I will discuss my study schedule and reduce it. Don't worry, I know my limits."

Mellisa's words didn't ease Leonard's anxiety.

He lowered his head and flipped through the financial management book, frowning. "Will you continue like this? Why do you also have Italian and French books? Isn't this just a finance course?"

No wonder she was so tired!

Mellisa reluctantly reached out and took the book back. After tidying up the corners of the pages, she explained vaguely. "I've learned the important points in the basic and intermediate level. Although still not comprehensive, I remember all the points."

"Today we just started the advanced course, but it's not as complicated as I thought. Besides, I'm not exactly an idiot. Even though I've never studied seriously before, I still know a little bit from the Irwan family's learning when I was little. Leonard, why do you sound like a fussy mother-in-law these days? What's wrong with you!"

Mellisa reluctantly groaned at him, holding the book in her arms, and joking in a low voice.

Leonard was choking and couldn't say anything but pursed his lips while looking at Mellisa.

After that, Mellisa turned around. "I'm hungry, do you still have food?" She couldn't help but lower her head and rub her stomach as she spoke.

Seeing this, Leonard's cheeks immediately sank. "You studied hard, and my father didn't even prepare food for you?"

Doesn't the old man want to hug his grandchild soon?

Mellisa shook her head and laughed out loud. She took advantage of this situation to hold his arm. "Of course there is, my food is delivered every day by Kevin. I learned too much today, and now I'm hungry again."

Hearing this, Leonard's expression eased slightly, and he walked to the villa with her, and said patiently. "Tell me what you want to eat, I will make it for you!"

That night , after Mellisa ate the noodle soup, she immediately fell asleep when she returned to the master bedroom.

Maybe because of the tense study atmosphere over the past few days, her whole figure seemed like a tightrope.

Even in her sleep, she furrowed her brows and babbled a few words sometimes.

That night, Leonard didn't sleep long.

He leaned against the bed, looked sideways and looked into Melissa's face through the dim nightlight. The identity of the heir to the Adler family was his responsibility, and now it felt more like shackles.

He would rather Melisa be a sweet and silly woman who knew nothing, allowing her to live a little more freely.

Leonard sighed in silence, helpless and depressed.

Perhaps, he should find an opportunity to chat with the old man!

Since the Adler family's wife appraisal rule was determined by the founders of the Adler family, it didn't make sense that it couldn't be modified!

...

The next morning, Mellisa woke up to the sound of the phone vibrating.

She sleepily touched her phone on the bedside table, her eyes were on Kevin's missed call.

Mellisa frantically called back and said, "I will go now!"

She didn't know what time it was. She thought Kevin called her to remind her to go to class.

However, on the other end of the phone, Kevin shook his head and said, "I'm just telling you that today's class is suspended!"

Mellisa rubbed her eyes, her eyes twinkling. "Why?"

"Today, there was an important contract discussion. The entire finance team and many managers have to go there, so no one can teach you.. For today, you can learn on your own."
