His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 127: A Big Baby 

Sarah looked at him in surprise.

"That's too much! Charles, do you think I am an ATM? Money doesn't grow from trees!"

Charles did not care about that.He looked at Sarah with disdain.His face still carried the stubbornness and unruliness of a stubborn young master.His attitude was very arrogant for someone asking a favor.

"Sarah, stop talking nonsense with me" Charles hissed.

"Just tell me whether you can give me the money or not!"

Charles had always treated Sarah as if she was his servant, ignoring the fact that she was his older sister.

Sarah couldn't take his shitty attitude anymore and refused his demand.

"I'm not giving you money.And if I had any, I won't give it to you either!"

Charles glared at Sarah.

"Sarah, haven't you been filming a variety show and a commercial recently? Did you really think I'll believe you when you say you don't have any money?" Charles spat.

"If you don't want to give me anything, just say it.Why are you making up so many excuses? Don't come back to me to put in a good word for you in front of Mommy next time.

You bring me nothing but disappointment.

Sarah was so angry that she was out of breath.

Charles was really too infuriating, thinking that he was entitled to anything if he forced it out of people.

She had previously asked Charles to put in a few good words with Elizabeth.

She was especially fond of her only son, and she would listen to whatever he said no matter how far- fetched it was.

The reason why Sarah always had to look out for Charles was that he was her biological brother.

Charles occasionally asked her for some money, and it was normal for a sister to give money to her brother.

When Grandpa Alistair was here, he was particularly strict with the allowance of the Sullivan children, and even Elizabeth did not dare to give money carelessly.

Out of all the children in the Sullivan Family, only Sarah had a bit of income from her work.

Sarah's younger siblings naturally relied on her for anything related to money since then.

However, what Sarah did not expect was that Charles would become increasingly dependent on her for money.

What was worse was that every time he asked her for money, he would always use the same lines to threaten her.

This time, Charles didn't even bother with pretenses.

He directly asked her three hundred thousand dollars.

Sarah did not want to spoil him anymore, but at the end of the day, he was still her younger brother, and she had to take responsibility for him.

She earnestly persuaded, "Charles, you have to understand something…”

Before Sarah could finish, Charles interrupted her impatiently with a very fierce and nasty attitude.

"Sarah, just who do you think you are? What right do you have to care about me?"

Charles asked, glaring at her.

"You're nothing but a girl whom the Sullivans don't want anymore, so stay out of my business! You and that..." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

He was just about to say "that bastard" when he recalled Melody whipping him before.

His whole body trembled, and he opted to swallow the words he was supposed to say.He demanded with an impatient tone.

"Forget it! If you don't want to give it to me, then I don't need to listen to your stupid lectures.I'm leaving!"

Charles walked out of the room with heavy steps.

If Melody wasn't here today, he would definitely teach Sarah a lesson.

Melody, the jinx of this house, was way eviler than he was.

Charles had never won against her, so this time, he refused to confront her directly.

Seeing him leave angrily, Sarah felt weak.

Having such a younger brother was troublesome.

She walked back and saw Melody sizing her up from a distance.

Sarah smiled awkwardly in Melody's direction and asked, "Melody, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Does he often ask you for money?" Melody asked.

Her words were straight to the point that Sarah almost stopped breathing for a second.

Melody's cold gaze fell on Sarah, and now, Sarah found herself unable to say something nor escape.

Sarah felt like she was being surrounded by Melody's strong aura.

At first, she didn't want to answer directly, but Melody's probing stare made her feel that telling a lie might end up badly for her.

So Sarah nodded, heaving a deep sigh.

"Just...occasionally, not every day.He's just too insensible and narrow-minded."

Looking at how Sarah carefully watched her words, Melody didn't want to put the blame on her.

After all, Melody didn't have the right to do so in the first place.

In Melody's opinion, Charles wasn't merely immature.

He was acting like a big baby at his age.He was slowly becoming a useless guy.

If she were to deal with people like Charles, she would opt to eliminate him right away.

Otherwise, if Melody left people like Charles in the world, he would do nothing but eat, sleep, and make trouble for other people.

If not for his good luck of being born in the Sullivan family, he wouldn't have enjoyed such a good life where all his needs were taken care of.

She promised Grandpa Alistair that she would spare his grandson so that the family's bloodline would continue and that she wouldn't hurt anyone else in the family.

As for Quince, if he could stand on his own, she wouldn't make a move.

But if he had any malicious intentions, she wouldn't let him get away with it.

Melody turned around and went upstairs.

Sarah followed her closely.

Sarah didn't dare to say anything to Melody.She felt that Melody wasn't so happy with how things were going on.

Melody pushed the door open and frowned at the messy room before her.

This room was fine the last time she visited Sarah's house.

Why did it look so chaotic this time? Melody didn't know that it took the filming crew three days to get everything tidy and clean the last time.

Although Sarah lived on her own, she used to lead an affluent life back in the Sullivan family.

Grandpa Alistair was the head of the family.

Even if Sarah was not his favorite grandchild, the housework had always been done by others.

How would she know how to clean her room properly? Sarah also saw it and smiled awkwardly.

She quickly kicked away the shoes that were blocking the door.

"L'll clean this up right away.I am busy with the shoots recently" Sarah said softly.

"I'm not usually staying here these days, so it's a little messier than usual.You go take a rest first, and I'll tidy up the house right away"

After saying that, Sarah rushed into the bathroom and came out with gloves, ready to begin her cleaning.

Melody watched as Sarah took off the decorative ring on her finger and wore the gloves.

Melody reached out and grabbed Sarah's hand.

Sarah stared at her in surprise and thought that maybe Melody wanted to help.She immediately refused, "No need.You can sit by the side and rest.I'll do this!"

Unexpectedly, Melody took the gloves off of Sarah's hands and dialed a number on her phone.

"Arrange a cleaner for me"said Melody when the call went through.

"The address is..."

After telling some more details over the phone, Melody pulled Sarah away before the latter returned to her senses.

When they were downstairs, Sarah finally realized what Melody had done for her.

"Melody, where are you pulling me to?"Sarah asked.

Melody looked back at her and said, "We'll go out to eat!"

"Oh!"

Sarah thought for a moment and decided to follow Melody.

"Alright, let's eat first.There is an Italian restaurant nearby and the taste of the dishes there isn't too bad.I'll take you there."

Melody had no objections.She just couldn't stand staying in the messy space of Sarah's house any longer.

After taking Melody out to eat a good meal, Sarah propped herself up on the table and looked at Melody with envy.

"Melody, I really envy you"Sarah sighed.

"You're eating so many things, and they're even spicier than usual.Not only do you not grow pimples, but you also don't get fat."

Sarah watched as Melody ate a piece of tripe.

The crispy tripe was dipped in spicy sauces, and with its alluring aroma, Sarah couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

These days, in order to maintain a good look in the mirror, Sarah was only eating boiled green vegetables.

Even for today's good meal, she only ate a plate of fried green vegetables and didn't even dare to eat rice because it might ruin her figure.

Sarah could do nothing but watch as Melody ate her meat happily.

The best she could do was to endure the protests of her stomach.
