The flawless story
Ava looked at the monitor and seeing the guest a happy smile showed up on her face. There Melody was standing with a few gift boxes and flowers in her hand. Ava quickly went to the door and opened it.
"Mel, you are here. Please come in." Ava said enthusiastically with a bright smile.
Melody walked inside and from the door, she could see the luxurious European-style decoration. She said in an envious tone handing her the flowers, "Wow, Ava, your house is beautiful."
"Thanks. But Mel why did you bring all these? You didn't have to."
Mrs. Lee saw the guest was standing with gift boxes in hand she quickly walked to them to take those. However, when she got closer and saw Melody she froze in place. She had a confused and shocked expression on her face. How could this girl be here? Wasn't she dead? And why was she with Madam?
Mrs. Lee obviously recognizes Melody, she has been cleaning the room on the third floor for a long time. That room was full of Melody's pictures, how could she make a mistake to recognize her. But seeing Melody her face turned pale and she started to stammer, "Miss...Miss."
"Mrs. Lee, what happened? Are you alright? Ava saw Mrs. Lee's face was white as the sheet she asked worriedly.
"Yes, Madam. I am sorry. The fish is still on the stove I'll go and check on it." Mrs. Lee quickly took the boxes and flowers from Ava and flew from there as if she saw a ghost.
Ava was a bit confused but she didn't pay much attention to it, she was too excited to see Melody. Ava led Melody to the living room holding her hand. Oliver just finished his soup when he saw his wife entering the living room holding another woman's hand. But the moment he saw who was the person with Ava he froze in place. Suddenly he felt suffocating in the living room and his eyes looked at the two women in pain. How he wished they would never meet, but there she was standing in his living room holding his wife's hand. Oliver was good at hiding his true feelings so he quickly masked his emotion with indifference.
Ava didn't notice anything. She came to Oliver and happily introduced Melody to Oliver. "Oliver, this is my friend Melody I told you about."
Oliver narrowed his eyes and thought why Ava was calling her Melody? Wasn't her name Emily? But he didn't say anything in front of Ava. He needed to get to the bottom of this and find out who this woman really is.
"Hello!" Oliver said lightly.
"Hello, Mr. Knight!" Melody said with a gentle and innocent smile.
Ava and Melody sat down and talked and laugh about various things. Later, Ava bought Melody to the dining table, she knew Melody had a sweet tooth she always liked to try out different kinds of dessert and her favorite dessert was egg tart so Ava specially made them for Melody today.
"Melody, I remember you used to like dessert a lot when we were in high school. We would often go out and end up having a lot of desserts and coffee. I made these egg tarts myself for you. Try this out." Ava held out the plate of tarts in front of Melody.
However, Melody stared at the tarts in disgust. She was not Melody, she was Emily. Melody might like sweet things but Emily didn't, especially like baked foods, she hated them. They were not nutritious and easy to get fat. Emily really wanted to throw the plate of tarts but she couldn't raise any suspicion. She needed to be on Ava's good side to get closer to Oliver. So she smiled gratefully and took a bite of the tart.
"Ava, it's delicious. Thank you."
"No problem. Come and visit me often and I will make more for you." Ava said happily.
Oliver sat there in the living room quietly and watched the two women laugh and talk happily. His feelings were a bit complicated at that moment. Although Oliver believed the woman in front of him was not Melody but there was a possibility of her being Melody. And if she really was Melody he didn't know how to react to that. He was married and his wife was pregnant with his child then how will Melody fit into this situation? Oliver saw them walked toward the dining table. Ava looked so happy, he hasn't seen her laugh like that in a long time. Seeing her smile his heart was filled with warmth.
Oliver's phone rang bringing him back to the present. He took it out and saw it was Uncle Joe. Oliver stood up and walked to the backyard toward the Greenhouse. There was light wind and the smell of various flowers in the yard. Oliver picked up the call.
"Uncle Joe!"
"CEO Knight, It's about Miss Luis. I found out something..." Uncle Joe paused. For the first time, he was hesitating to tell Oliver what he found.
"What did you find?" Oliver asked calmly.
"Mr. Knight, Miss Luis is actually Miss Parker. On the day of her accident, another car accident happened in the city which was of Miss Emily Luis, the daughter of Albert Luis from LG International. Miss Luis and Miss Parker both were sent to the same hospital. Unfortunately, Miss Luis didn't make it but since their face was similar, the hospital made a mistake with their identity. Later when Miss Parker woke up she lost her memory and didn't know who she was so the Luis family took her to the US. That's how she ended up in the US." Uncle Joe said with a heavy heart.
He felt heartache for Oliver. Oliver has been waiting for Melody for 5 years, she didn't show up but now that he has decided to start fresh with Ava, she actually showed up. He could tell what kind of dilemma Oliver must be in. What a twisted game of destiny.
"How did she know Liam?" Oliver said slowly but the hold on his phone already got tighter hearing Uncle Joe.
"Miss Parker met Mr. Jones around 4 years ago. He saved her from an incident and since then they both have had a very good relationship. Mr. Knight, do you find her any different from before since she came back?" Uncle Joe said still hoping he was wrong about this and this girl was not Melody.
Oliver turned and looked inside through the glass door. He could see the two women sitting face to face and talking happily. He stared at Melody but for some reason he didn't feel any rush he felt the first time he saw her in the office thinking Melody was back, instead he felt very calm. Something didn't add up, the story was flawless, yet he couldn't believe this was the woman he was madly in love with. He looked at Ava's smiley face and already knew what he wanted. He was happy with Ava, he really loved her. Although Oliver was not good at expressing his feelings but the fact that his love for Ava was deeply rooted in the depth of his heart could not be changed. Not even Melody's return can change that.
"It didn't matter Uncle Joe, I am already married to someone. She is just my past now." Oliver said calmly and hung up the phone.
Uncle Joe stared at the phone and sighed. He just hoped Melody's sudden appearance wouldn't mess up Oliver and Ava's married life.
