His Heiress Wife (Retika) Chapter 139: Why Do I Have to Report to You?

The car stopped in front of a building.

Melody followed Seth, entering Minx, the best entertainment place in California.

Since Melody had gone to this place more than once, she was already quite familiar with it.

Today was the birthday of one of Seth's good friends, Axel.

The Laurier family used to be a famous and wealthy family in California.

With the rise of the Laurier family's overseas business, Axel's family also followed them overseas and
settled together.

This year, the Laurier family happened to have a business in California that coincided with Axel's
birthday.

They decided to host a gathering, inviting all of his friends, to celebrate Axel's birthday.

It was a rare opportunity.

Even a person like Seth, who rarely participated in gatherings, personally attended the celebration to
personally greet Axel.

Axel booked the most luxurious private room in Minx today.

Anyone who were invited were his good friends.

Almost everyone had arrived.

Those who were present realized that Seth still hadn't arrived.

One of the guests took the initiative to ask Axel.



"Axel, didn't you say that Seth would come here? Where is he?"

Axel displayed a smug smile at the other party, "He'll come.I'm very sure that he'd be here soon.When
we talked earlier, he said that he was on the way.He should be here in a few minutes!"

The moment he finished speaking, the private room's door was pushed open.

Subconsciously, everyone looked at the door, secretly thinking that it was Seth.

Indeed, it was Seth who pushed the door open but, unexpectedly, he did not enter right away.

Instead, he kept the door open as if he opened the door for someone else.

As they looked at this unusual scene, their hearts were in a mess.

All of them thought in unison, ‘Is there anyone with higher authority than Seth? They actually made
Seth hold the door for them!” Axel thought a bit differently.

‘Does Iven have this kind of prestige?’ Little did Melody know that the people inside the private room
were already making guesses about the identity of the person who was able to make Seth hold the
door for them.

Everyone held their breaths as they waited to see who the newcomer was.

When Melody finally entered their sights, most of them were surprised, not expecting that it was a girl.

A particularly beautiful girl at that.

They were all shocked and speechless.

‘Seth, who had never been close to a single woman even for platonic or business reasons, actually
took the initiative to bring a female companion to the party?’



That was everybody's thoughts.

‘Are the rumors circulating outside true?’ ‘Seth isn't single anymore?’ If the rumors were true, such
news could definitely make its rounds internationally. Axel was stunned.

It took him a long time before he gained his senses back.He quickly went up to Seth, welcoming him.

"Seth! You're finally here"

After greeting Seth, he diverted his gaze to Melody, who was beside Seth.

It was the first time that Seth had ever brought a girl here.

Axel did not know her identity, so he was careful to not offend her.

Axel asked politely, "Seth, why don't you introduce her?"

Melody did not resist and allowed Seth to pull her closer to him, shortening their distance.

The handsome man's dazzling eyes tilted his head to look at Melody.

His expression, which had always been icy and solemn, showed a once in a blue moon warm smile.

The iceberg had melted.

He said, "This is Melody, my girlfriend!"

The simple but generous introduction made the hearts of everyone present tremble.

His words had the same impact as a detonated nuclear bomb.

Countless thoughts popped up in everybody's mind.



Who was this young lady? What was her background? She couldn't be underestimated since she could
even make Seth admit their relationship publicly.

After hearing Seth's introduction, Axel displayed a pleasant smile on his face.

He greeted Melody and smiled.

"Oh, it seems like Seth values me more than I thought.We didn't expect that we now have one less
bachelor in the group and to think that he would even bring the culprit for it here.It's an honor to have
Miss Melody at our party today!"

At his age, businessmen would generally be more or less contaminated by the fakeness of the
business circle.

But Axel's attitude was neither too fawning nor too casual.

It was just right and not annoying.

Melody was able to introduce herself and nodded politely at him which she considered as an adequate
response.

Just when Axel was about to tell everyone to take their seats, the door of the private room opened
again.

A strong scent of perfume, assailed the air, filling the room with its fragrance.A suave lven made his
entrance.

The relationship between Iven and Axel was closer compared to the relationship between Seth and
Axel.

After all, they were similar in temperament and interests in certain aspects.



Just like Iven, Axel was also well-known as a charming and noble young man.

"Iven, you actually arrived later than Seth this time.It seems that the Adams family has grown in power
recently.Could it be that Mr.Adams has been swayed by power and is now being arrogant?"

Hearing Axel's joking tone, lven shot him a few cold glares.

"Shut your mouth, or else this Mister Adams you're talking about will make you unable to eat the cake
later"

They had always bickered like this since they were children.

Of course, none of them took each other's jokes to heart.

Axel kept winking at Iven, trying to send a message.

However, Ilven did not understand the cue.

He did not react the way Axel wanted as he suddenly said, "Axel, did you see too much pretty girls that
your eyes are twitching? What's wrong with you?"

Axel thought that lven was really hopeless.He looked at him with disgust.

"Go to hell! You must have indulged yourself so much that your brain has become useless!"

After that, Axel was too lazy to pay Iven any attention anymore.

On the other hand, lven turned around and saw Seth and Melody, who was sitting beside him Iven's
eyes were mainly on Melody.

He smiled and greeted Melody.



"Melody! Yo, so sis is also here"

Melody simply nodded at him and responded to his greeting casually.

Axel was dumbfounded.He reached out and hooked his arm around Iven's shoulders as he stared at
Melody.

"Iven, so you know Melody?"

lven did not understand what Axel meant and simply assumed that Axel was tempted by Melody's good
looks.

He quickly advised, "I know her but you better keep your hands to yourself.Don’t randomly pursue
girls!"

Hearing Iven's words, Axel's face instantly turned pale from fright.

He cautiously glanced in Seth's direction in horror as he carefully watched the latter's expression.

Seeing that Seth did not look out of the ordinary, his tense heart relaxed again.He sharply looked at
Iven in dissatisfaction.

"We're all good friends yet you dared to put me in trouble! Miss Melody is Seth's girlfriend.I would not
dare pursue her even if you donated all your courage to me! Iven, you evil brat, your heart is too
poisonous!"

Iven smiled ambiguously, his peach blossom eyes curved into crescents.

"Nice, Axel.You've only seen them together for a while, yet you already saw through their
relationship.How did you guess?"

Axel glanced at him disdainfully as if he was looking at an idiot.



"Seth announced it as soon as he arrived.He did not even try to hide it and he didn't even let us
speculate!"

As soon as he heard Axel's words, Iven was shocked.

His eyes widened and he looked back and forth between Axel and Seth with an exaggerated
expression.

"Axel, did you just say that Seth has announced his relationship with Melody as soon as they arrived?"

After Axel nodded, lven immediately rushed towards Seth.His eyes simultaneously looked at Seth and
Melody multiple times.He looked so funny that even Melody could not help but chuckle.

But she did not do anything beyond laughing.She planned on letting Seth handle this situation on his
own.

In the end, Iven's eyes stayed on Seth's body.He raised his voice in surprise.

"Dude, you officially confirmed it? Why didn't you tell me first?" Seth snorted coldly.

His clear eyes looked at Iven coldly, and his voice was as cold as ice.

"If I got myself a girlfriend, why do I have to report it to you, lven Adams?"
