A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 179

When Melody came out of the theater, her eyes were bright and sparkling, and there was even a slight smile on her face.

She opened the car door and got in with a cup of tea in her hand. Then, she cautiously asked Jeremy, "Have you had dinner?"

Jeremy answered, "I ate at the Wardolfs."

Melody glanced at him, then handed him the tea. "Do you want to try this? It's black peach tea. It's really nice." Then, as if she were worried that Jeremy would dislike it, she quickly added, "I just bought it on my way out."

When Melody was coming out, she happened to run into a lady who was buying tea.

The lady cheerfully beamed when she said that she was going to be seeing her boyfriend later and that she was getting the tea for him.

The lady's smile had probably touched something in Melody, so she was influenced to buy one herself.

When the vendor had asked if she wanted to have it there or to go, she'd randomly blurted out, "I'm getting it for my boyfriend."

Jeremy stared at the cup of tea in her hand. His expression didn't change, but he didn't reach for it either. After a second, he finally said, "I don't drink low-quality beverages like this. It's best you don't either. They're neither sanitary nor healthy."

The sliver of hope that had bloomed in Melody was instantly crushed by his blunt words.

She must've lost her mind earlier to have bought the cup of tea. She had clearly forgotten who Jeremy was.

He had always been incredibly picky.

She looked down so her eyelashes hid the emotions flickering in her eyes. "Alright, I won't buy it next time," she said with a nod.

Jeremy noticed a trash bin not too far away. "You can throw it away," he said.

Melody answered in a small voice, "I want to take it home and drink it myself."

Jeremy's eyebrows tightly furrowed, clearly displeased with her decision.

Melody knew full well that this wasn't anything healthy, and yet she still insisted on drinking it. But at the end of the day, that was her prerogative, so Jeremy didn't make any further comments.

His question suddenly brought Melody back to her senses, and she hurriedly dragged her aching body to the bathroom.

Her periods had always been irregular, and most of the time, they didn't hurt. But when it did, it was always excruciating.

She had been very busy lately, so she hadn't been paying attention. When she had dinner with Felicia and the rest earlier, she had drunk an iced beverage, and that was probably the cause of her pain right now.

When she walked out of the bathroom all pale-looking, she noticed that Jeremy had gotten out of bed. There wasn't much emotion on his face, but there was clearly an icy chill about him.

Melody's eyes flickered to the bedsheet, and she realized that she had accidentally stained it. Embarrassed, she whispered, "I'm sorry. I'll change the sheets right away."

Jeremy's dark eyes revealed not even a sliver of emotion. "You take care of it. I'll sleep in the study tonight," he said before he turned to leave.

"It was an accident," Melody blurted. She hadn't expected her period to come today, and there had been no warning symptoms either.

Jeremy answered without even a glance back, "But the bed's still stained." There was no way he was going to sleep on a soiled bed.
