My Supermodel Wife (For Sale!)

Hearing this, Mellisa squeezed the fingertips on the back of her hand and gave a slight force. "Then what if I don't go?"

Leonhart's serious face finally revealed a clear smile. "If you don't go, then all of today's conversation is a good reminder for you to compete with Lyn for the position of the future wife of the Adler family."

With the sound of the cup dropping, Melissa's eyes widened in surprise.

She didn't expect that Leonhart would say something like that.

Competing for the position of future wife of the Adler family?!

Leonhart happily picked up the fallen cup, raised his eyebrows, and sighed slightly. "You don't seem to have ever thought about it?"

"Never." Mellisa said hastily, then took the tissue on the side to wipe the spilled tea.

Her fingertips were slightly cold, but her heart was uncontrollably nervous. "I really didn't think about it, but… are you serious?"

Leonhart twisted the corners of his lips. "Do I look like I'm joking?"

"Didn't the family itself choose Lyn? Why do you want me to compete with her now?"

Melisa couldn't answer this question.

Maybe because Leonhart was too shrewd and deep-minded, Mellisa had to ask for a clear explanation.

Ever since she walked in, Leonhart's attitude wasn't the same as before.

And the better he got, the weirder things got.

Melisa had to be wary of his hidden intention.

At this time, he seemed to see Mellisa's wariness and suspicion, so he poured her some more tea. "Even when you first entered the Adlers' house, you could tell that Lyn wasn't up to the mark, so was my decision wrong?"

"You are the head of the family and your family has already chosen a fiancée for your successor, I think it's a little inappropriate to cancel it." Mellisa said frankly.

Hearing this, Leonhart brought the teapot and looked at Melissa. "I did intend to cancel it!"

Mellisa did not ignore Leonhart's serious gaze. She chewed on these words and suddenly realized it.

Leonhart did want to re-elect Leonard's fiancée, and she was the current candidate.

This conclusion caused Mellisa's heartbeat to become irregular in an instant.

Even though she had made countless assumptions before, she never expected that the end result would be like this!

Melissa's voice choked as she asked, "Why me?"

"Why not you?" Leonhart replied confidently. "My family's house is heavily guarded and you can enter easily. I also saw that Leonard was happy with you, he even kicked me out just for you."

"And the most important thing is that I haven't been able to find your real identity so far. Based on this alone, the power behind you is certainly not inferior to the Adler family. This reason is enough for me. If you still have questions, then it looks like I might have to change my mind."

"The future wife of the Adlers couldn't be one to be indecisive. Of course, if you really don't have the slightest intention of fighting, you can stay by his side as long as you want as long as you don't allow yourself to be recognized. The Adlers will continue to search for a mate for him. Even if that person isn't you, there will be someone else."

Melissa sat up straight and looked Leonhart in the eye.

She really never wanted to fight to become Leonard's wife, after all, she was the one who left Leonard that time.

But now, she suddenly changed her mind.

Seeing that Leonard continued to be 'managed' by his family, she desperately wanted to face all the wind, frost, rain, and snow beside him.

Therefore, Mellisa looked at Leonhart and nodded solemnly. "Okay, let me fight for him!"

"Yes, I expect a lot from you!" Leonhart sighed with satisfaction, as if relieved. Now, the whole person was much more relaxed.

Mellisa was suspicious, took a sip of the teacup, and asked, "Sir, you haven't said how Leonard became like this. I've seen his body, there are many scars all over his body, including a broken calf. He was seriously injured under the supervision of the Adler family, is this family actually not as strong as I imagined?"

Leonhart did not answer the question asked by Mellisa, but just laughed at her.

He took a sip from his teacup, his eyes gradually becoming distant and unpredictable.

Seeing this, Mellisa looked at him and continued. "According to my understanding, does that mean the heir to the Adler family can be replaced at any time if he doesn't meet the requirements?"

Leonhart stopped drinking tea, and his gaze fell on the teacup. He shook gently, and the surface of the water churned. "Have you heard that calm water flows deep? The calmer the lake is, the more darkness and danger there is. Just like this tea, just by stirring it a little you can see the tea leaves hidden underneath are slowly coming to the surface."

These words are very deep.

Mellisa saw him shaking the teacup for an instant, and her eyes gradually became clear. "The way you explain the dangers of catfish is very interesting."

Leonhart laughed loudly. "Haha, no mistake, my son is a catfish! But don't underestimate him, he managed to do it without people knowing."

At this point, Mellisa completely understood his good intentions.

As for the catfish... it should be referring to Luke, the second son of the Adler family.

...

At this time, the sky was getting darker, and Leonard was rushing to the main house when he got the news that Mellisa had been taken away.

Surprisingly, throughout the castle manor today, he couldn't find the caddy at his door for some reason.

He was worried about Mellisa, but he also had to be on guard so that someone might find out about his little ploy.

In desperation, he was forced to let his trusted bodyguard push the wheelchair.

Leonard was sitting in the wheelchair, his stern face was covered in a thick layer of ice.

The old butler ran around him, panting heavily, and said, "Sir, don't worry, the Patriarch is not an unreasonable person. He called the little maid… Probably just wanted to hear about your situation."

Leonard's thin lips almost formed a straight line, and the corners of his lips were slightly white. Even when he heard the consolation from the old butler, he still didn't say a word.

He squeezed the wheelchair's armrest with both hands, gritted his teeth and whispered, "Hurry up!"

If the old man dared to touch Mellisa, then he wouldn't mind being the enemy of the entire Adler family.

...

Right now, the tea in the study in the main house is really cold. Leonhart invites Melisa to walk to the bookshelf in the third row. He stopped in front of the bookshelf and said, "Stock trading... Do you understand it?"

Melissa nodded humbly. "I understand some."

Leonhart raised his eyebrows. "How many foreign languages ​​do you know?"

"One."

Upon hearing this, the corners of Leonhart's mouth slowly fell. "Lyn is proficient in three foreign languages, so take this as a challenge."

Melissa glanced at him. "In the future, I'll be proficient in at least five languages."

"Daughter, don't talk too much just yet."

Melissa smiled. "Just wait and see."

"In this study, there are books on everything from etiquette and manners to family operations, including the industry in which the Adlers have been involved for many years. Starting today, this study room is open to you. If you want to come, you can ask anytime."

Melissa could feel Leonhart's sincerity as he said it. She bit the corner of her mouth, and asked her last question. "Why are you willing to help me?"

The light smile on Leonhart's cheeks slowly receded, and his eyes slowly passed. The study room echoed his voice. 

"Maybe it's because I don't want my son to marry because of his family's choice like I used to. At least I want to give him a chance to fight for the one he loves."

After the words fell, there was a sudden knock on the door. Kevin came in and bowed before saying, "Sir, the eldest young master is here!"
