Chapter 34 Back home
Melanie woke up the next morning and was quite surprised to see that she was on the bed.
While she was waiting for Flynn who had left the house in anger the previous night, she had slept off.
Did Flynn perhaps carry her to the bedroom?
She got out of the bed and saw the cup of tea that was on the table beside the bed. Flynn had always made a cup of tea for her every morning and he didn’t fail to do that now that he was mad at her.
She smiled softly and grabbed the cup of tea and drank from it. After she had drunk to her satisfaction, she walked to the bathroom and did her morning business there.
She tiptoed out of the room after she was through with her business in the bathroom.
As soon as she got to the living room, she saw Flynn standing by the window, his back facing her and she started to walk towards him.
”We’re flying back to Los Angeles in the afternoon, I hope you’ll be ready by then,” Melanie heard him say.
She walked closer to him and wrapped her arm around the waist. ”Good morning, my love,” she mumbled, rubbing her cheek against his back.
Flynn ended the call and tried to face Melanie but the lady was holding him tightly.
”What are you doing? Let go of me, Melanie,” He said silently.
”Stop calling me that,” She mumbled.
”Let go of me,” Flynn groaned and finally freed himself from her grasp.
”I’m sorry, babe,” Melanie pouted and grabbed the edge of his shirt.
”I swear it wasn’t my intention to have anything to do with that man,” Melanie continued when Flynn didn’t say anything.
”It wasn’t your intention, but you did anyway,” Flynn looked at her then the hands that grabbed his cloth.
”I needed money for my mother’s surgery!” Melanie said loudly.
”Huh?” Flynn stared at her.
”He was the first person I approached before you. I am sorry, I was very desperate. My mother was dying,” Melanie whispered and looked at her husband’s face again.
”I am sorry, babe. I am very sorry. Don’t let that man come in between us, please. I love you very much,” Melanie started to cry.
”Hey, you don’t need to cry,” Flynn groaned and pulled her closer then hugged her.
”Tordoff is an enemy of mine and I hate the fact that something like that happened between the two of you. I’m sorry for not hearing you out. Stop crying, okay?” He raised her chin and wooed the tears off her face.
”I love you,” Melanie smiled.
”I love you too,” He smiled back.
”Where did you sleep last night?”
”I slept beside you on the bed,” he answered.
”Really? I thought you were mad at me,” Melanie teased.
”Of course, I was. But you don’t think I won’t sleep beside you or make your tea, right?” He pulled her cheek slightly.
”How sweet, I thought you were going to ignore me totally,” Melanie stood on her toe and kissed him shortly.
”No, I don’t have the heart to be like that to you. If it is to anyone else, trust me, I’m an a$$hole,” Flynn said and Melanie laughed.
”So, we’re going back to Los Angeles?”
”I’ll call the pilot and tell him not to worry anymore. I wanted to fly back to Los Angeles to teach that bast@rd a lesson,” Flynn said and started to press his phone.
”No, it’s fine, let’s go back. I’ve missed everyone. It had been over a month.”
”You don’t like it here with me?” Flynn teased.
”I love every moment with you, every moment with you,” Melanie said and Flynn blushed.
”How cute. We’ll leave tomorrow then,” he said, smiling.
”Not today?”
”No, tomorrow,” Flynn answered and leaned to kiss her lips.
”I want you,” Flynn said when he broke the kiss.
”Not now baby,” Melanie winked and started to walk away.
”When?” Flynn followed her and lifted her from the ground.
”Hey!” Melanie screamed amidst laughter.

The journey back to Los Angeles was barely silent. The couple enjoyed the time they spent together at the island and Flynn promised Melanie that he was going to visit there with her again.
When they arrived in Los Angeles, Devon was already waiting to drive them back home.
”Those kids did not even bother to come to welcome us,” Flynn groaned.
”Elle has a boyfriend already, Kyle is probably pursuing a lady at the moment,” Melanie laughed.
”Come to think of it. Why did you approve of Tyler and Elle’s relationship?” Flynn furrowed his brow.
”Tyler is a very good person, he is going to treat your sister right,” Melanie winked at him.
”Eish… Which Tyler is a good person?” Flynn eyed her and Melanie laughed.
”Babe, Tyler is very good. Trust me,” Melanie laughed.
”I am good than him right?”
”Of course, you’re the best!” Melanie exclaimed and Flynn leaned closer to kiss her.
Devon who had been secretly watching the lovey-dovey his boss and his wife choked on nothing.
Wait… Didn’t his boss hate the woman?
”Are you okay?” Flynn raised a brow mockingly.
”Yes, boss!”
”Good, drive gently, don’t kill my wife and me,” Flynn said.
”You’re too harsh,” Melanie hit his arm.
”I must look intimidating all the time,” Flynn answered.
”As if.”

Flynn held Melanie’s hand and they both walked towards the big entrance door.
”I can’t wait to see the twins, seriously,” Melanie jumped up excitedly.
”I doubt if they are even around,” Flynn answered and turned the knob of the door.
When they walked inside the bit living room, Flynn wondered why everywhere was quite dark and silent. He dipped his hand in his pocket and brought out his phone, he was about to on the light of his cell phone when the light of the living room switched on.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
”Welcome!” Elle, Kyle, Tyler, and Melinda screamed which startled the couple.
Flynn looked around and opened his mouth, marveling at what he saw.
The pictures he took with Melanie on their wedding day were plastered across the wall and a cake was on the table with their wedding portrait beside it. He smiled unconsciously when he saw the bigger portrait of when he kissed Melanie that was hung across the room with adornment around it.
”Wow, this is so beautiful,” He stared at his wife who cried out in happiness.
”We’re taking that to our room,” Flynn pointed at the portrait where he kissed her.
”Definitely,” Melanie laughed.
”This is so beautiful, thank you guys,” Melanie smiled and hugged every one of them.
”Mum, you’re here too,” Melanie smiled as she pulled away.
”These kids are pests. They are a pain in the neck, I had to do this with them, I’ve got no choice,” Melinda laughed.
”Sister-in-law!” Kyle exclaimed and went to hug Melanie.
”Did brother feed you with his sperm? Just take a look at your cheek,” Kyle asked when he pulled away.
”I must say, I drank too much of it,” Melanie laughed.
”Melanie…” Melinda stared at her daughter unbelievably.
”Mum,” Melanie laughed.
”I brought all of this idea and no one is saying anything to,” Elle sulked and everyone looked at her.
”Hey, my adorable sister-in-law, I’ve missed you damn so much,” Melanie grinned and went to hug Elle.
Meanwhile, Flynn was glaring at Tyler who was smiling at him.
”Welcome, brother-in-law,” Tyler smiled and walked towards Flynn who stepped backward.
”Who is your brother-in-law? Gosh, this is so creepy,” Flynn groaned and stood behind Melanie.
”Come on, love. He is being nice,” Melanie laughed.
”Wait, did you just call my brother ‘love’?” Kyle screamed.
”What is it?” Flynn glared at him.
”Wow, I guess I am the only one single here, I can’t believe it!” Kyle screamed.
”You’re too bitter. How about the lady you told me?” Elle asked him.
”Bianca? That girl is playing hard to get. Gosh, does she even think she’s the only lady in the whole of Los Angeles?” Kyle impersonated a pose and Elle laughed.
”That’s why I said you can’t have a girlfriend,” Elle said and everyone laughed.
”By the way, sister-in-law. Your stomach is not bulged one bit, what is wrong?” Kyle asked, pointing at Melanie’s stomach.
”If you want a baby, go and get married. Don’t disturb my wife,” Flynn pulled Melanie closer and Melanie stuck her tongue out at Kyle.
”Wow, I can’t believe all of this is happening to me,” Kyle clasped his hands together.
”Darling, shall we go upstairs? I bet you’re tired” Flynn said to Melanie.
”Is it written on her forehead that she is tired? Your eye service is too much brother,” Kyle rolled his eyes.
”You’re such a bitter a$$hole,” Flynn shook his head.
”Don’t call your brother an a$$hole again,” Melinda interfered.
”Please mum, tell him again,” Kyle walked towards Melinda and placed his head on her shoulder.
”It hurt my heart so much that he called me that,” Kyle muttered and Melinda hit his head.
”You’re stubborn on your own,” Melinda said and everyone laughed.
”I don’t think I’m from this family, I think I’m adopted. Nobody loves me,” Kyle shook his head.
”You know I love you more than anybody in this world? Go and get dressed, let’s go shopping. Just you and I,” Melinda smiled at him.
”I love you so much mum,” Kyle hurriedly hugged Melinda.
”My babe and I are tagging along, right babe?” Tyler smiled at Elle.
”Of course, sugarplum,” Elle grinned.
”Wow, this is so fvcked up,” Flynn shook his head.
”Definitely, baby,” Melanie answered, shaking her head.
”Shall we leave here, sweetheart?” Flynn asked and stretched his palm forward.
”Sure, love,” Melanie placed her palm on his and they both walked towards the stairs.
