His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 129: The New Neighbor 

Melody thought that after moving to Sarah's house, she would have peace and quiet.

What she didn't expect, however, was that loud, deafening music would bombard her ears at night.

Even Sarah couldn't take it anymore.

Sarah stomped out of her room when she accidentally met Melody, who also had just gotten out of her room.

When Sarah saw Melody's dispirited and defeated expression, she couldn't help but pity her.

‘Melody is so pitiful” Sarah thought to herself.

‘She had to put up with that awful voice almost every night’ Thinking deeply of Melody’s situation, Sarah slowly got angry.

She walked over to Melody and patted her shoulder, "I'm sorry, Melody.Don't worry.I'll go upstairs and tell the person above us to lower the volume.I promise to give you a quiet and peaceful environment.I don't want you to be disturbed."

After Sarah gave Melody a reassuring smile, it immediately disappeared when she turned around to go to the new neighbors upstairs.

She was going to give this person a piece of her mind! She heard that this neighbor had just moved in recently, but she didn't expect they were going to be this loud and annoying! Couldn't they just turn down the music and let their neighbors sleep peacefully? At first, it didn't matter if they disturbed Sarah, but right now, Melody was staying with her.

She didn't want her guest to be disturbed especially when she promised to provide a quiet home.

Meanwhile, Melody was patiently waiting for Sarah to come back.

She originally wanted to ask if Sarah wanted to be accompanied when she went to the neighbor.But when Melody was about to ask, Sarah had already bolted out of the door angrily.

Melody sighed and decided to let it go.

She turned around and threw herself on the sofa.

She shifted her body into a comfortable position and fished out her phone to play mobile games to pass the time.

Melody didn't like anything associated with the Sullivan family, but there is an exception, their family couch.

All the couches in the family villa and Sarah's apartment were all big and soft.

Just lying on it for a few minutes would feel like you've rested for a decade! After adjusting to a comfortable position, she put on her earphones and quickly logged into the game, completely forgetting the noisy neighbor from earlier.

Lance was getting bored as he played the game.

He was about to log off when he saw Melody go online.He immediately perked up and smiled brightly.He wanted to be closer to Melody, and he would do anything to do so.He would always give out hints to Melody that he wanted to further their relationship, but so far, the woman never paid him any attention.He immediately sent a voice message to Melody, "Boss, do you want to play with me?"

Lance wasn't the only one who saw Melody was in the game.

Luke became excited when he saw Melody's name and immediately sent her a voice message, too.

The two boys both said the same thing to her.

Melody accepted the invites of the two boys.

Luke was very happy when Melody confirmed, but his smile disappeared when he saw Melody also confirmed Lance's invitation.

"Why is that die-hard fan here?"

It was the first time Lance had seen Luke's account, but when he heard his voice, he immediately knew it was Luke.

It made his blood boil, and his fingers instantly curled into a fist, ready to punch the other boy.

"Hey, four-eyes, who are you calling a die-hard fan? It's obviously you, you idiot!"

"Oh wow, really? Mr.Andersen, you're probably looking at a mirror when you said ‘you idiot,"

Lance retorted back.

"You're the biggest idiot I know!"

Melody sighed and massaged her temples as the two boys continued to bicker with each other.

She came to the game to relax and have peace of mind, but that plan didn't work.

"If both of you won't shut up, get lost!"

She screeched through the screen with hostility which instantly stopped the two quarreling boys.

Lance and Luke apologized immediately as they pouted their lips and lowered their heads like defeated puppies.

"I'm sorry, Boss.I promise to be quiet and play the game peacefully!" Luke softly said.

"I'm sorry, boss.I will behave, too." Lance followed.

Melody sighed once more before she quickly pressed the "start" button of the game.

Usually, Lance enjoyed hiding behind Melody as she protected him from in-game enemies.

But today, since Luke was here, he decided to do otherwise.

He became a bit competitive because he observed that Melody and Luke formed a great team, and he didn't want to be left out.

Lance was jealous.

He regretted not having met Melody earlier than Luke. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

It was clear to him that Melody and Luke had formed a strong bond and trust with one another, at least from what he saw in the game.

The game went with Luke giving the first strike, and Lance gave the final blow of defeating their enemies.

This happened for quite a long time, and in the end, Lance and Luke formed a great team themselves.

With Melody by their side leading them, they were formidable.

The only problem was they would still constantly bicker with each other.

Had it not been for Melody making them stop, their enemies would have defeated them.

After a few rounds, Melody decided to stop playing and logged off without telling the boys, who were still arguing with each other.

It seemed like the peace and quiet she was seeking couldn't be found in playing video games with those two noisy idiots.

When the boys noticed that Melody was gone, they immediately blamed each other.

"It's your fault that the boss got angry! Are you happy now?!"

Luke scolded Lance.

"My fault? Do you have no self-awareness? It was clearly your fault!"

Lance retorted back.

The two of them continued to bicker once again.

Luckily, they were in a game.If they were together, face-to-face, their fight would have turned physical.

Meanwhile, after Melody logged off, she realized Sarah hadn't returned yet.

She got a little worried and decided to go upstairs to take a look.

However, as soon as she stood up, the door opened.

When Sarah entered through the door, she looked at Melody excitedly, "Mellie, do you know who I met?"

Melody noticed Sarah's expression was a lot different from when she went out to talk to the neighbor.

It was suspicious, so Melody couldn't help but frown.

"Was it your first love?"

Sarah's eyes widened at what Melody said.She didn't expect Melody to joke around, considering she was a really serious person.

She was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed so hard her stomach ached.

"Hahaha! Melody, what nonsense are you talking about?"

While she was laughing, a head popped out from behind her and greeted Melody warmly.

"Mellie, nice to see you again!"

Melody coldly looked at Iven's ridiculously cheerful face.

She flashed Sarah a questioning look, "What's going on?"

Sarah approached Melody and hugged her arm excitedly, "Mellie, Iven is our new upstairs neighbor! He just moved in today and was having a housewarming party’

"I wanna invite you both to the party.Do you want to go?"

Iven warmly smiled at the two women in front of him.

Sarah nodded while Melody frowned.

Melody opened her mouth to refuse, but lven quickly interrupted her.

"Come on, Mellie, don't refuse.This is a chance to get to know each other better! Please, please’’

Both Iven and Sarah looked at Melody with pleading eyes, hoping they could get her to say yes.

Melody didn't understand why lven would invite her in the first place.

They weren't close to each other, nor would he benefit from becoming friends with her.

Besides, her appearance at the party wouldn't be a big deal.She was a nobody.

Iven, himself, would be enough to light up the party.

But for Iven, it would be much more exciting if Melody joined them.

Meeting her today was already a big surprise.

Moreover, with her at the party, that certain person would definitely come.

The person declined multiple times, even if he begged him to attend the party.

If Melody came over, that person would rush to be here, too.

Therefore, lven was determined to get her to say yes.

Melody was annoyed with Iven's sneaky attacks.She looked at Sarah and found out that she was really excited and was waiting for her answer.She frowned and whispered to Sarah, "Do you really wanna go?"

Sarah enthusiastically nodded without hesitation.She really wanted to go.

There was someone upstairs that she wanted to see.

When Melody saw how happy Sarah was, she couldn't bring herself to decline the invite.She sighed before she responded, "Okay, then.Let's go"

Iven’s smile brightened when he heard her decision.

He happily waved his hands around, gesturing them to follow him quickly.

"Awesome!! Let's go, let's go!"

Sarah laughed at Iven's silly expression.

Even Melody, who was normally quiet, couldn't help but giggle at him.She was already warming up to him as she softly smiled at his ridiculous face.

He was such a clown.
