Twin Treasures: The CEO Wife's 99-Day of Revelations

Chapter 735: Chapter 735: Sorry Is Useless

Finn Morgan listened to the phone and looked at Melissa Merce, ”...” For a moment, he didn’t know how to respond.

”Are you listening to me?” Justin Kingston thought it was a signal problem.

”Yes.” He quickly came to his senses, ”Okay, I got it.”

”What do you know?” Justin Kingston was sharp, ”What’s wrong with you? I was asking how her mood is and if the injury is serious.”

”Dr. Shelby wrapped it up, it’s not too bad, her shoulder is twisted, she might need to take a few days off.”

”Taking time off is a small matter.” Justin Kingston said, ”You can spare some time to accompany her, I have the company.”

”...”

Justin Kingston added, ”Alright, you carry on, I’ll hang up now.” With that, he hung up the phone.

This call left Melissa Merce and Mrs. Hai utterly confused about who was injured.

Finn Morgan put away his phone, and when he looked at Melissa Merce again, his entire mindset had changed, feeling a bit apologetic and awkward.

Seeing her swollen face, Finn Morgan also realized he had used too much force.

As he stepped toward her, Mrs. Hai quickly blocked him in front of Melissa Merce, pleading, ”Young Master Morgan, if you want to hit someone, hit me! Please don’t hit Miss anymore! Our Miss has delicate skin and has never been slapped before!”

Melissa Merce felt wronged and suppressed her anger, she pushed away Mrs. Hai, furrowing her brows and staring at Finn Morgan, ”You better explain things clearly! Who got kidnapped?”

”...” Finn Morgan stopped in his tracks before her, his expression much more relaxed.

”That girl got kidnapped, right?” Melissa Merce was somewhat gloating, ”Are you anxious? Hurt? Am I the first person you thought of? Finn Morgan, am I that heartless?!”

The girl questioned loudly, ”In your heart, am I that kind of woman? I admit I like you, but what use is it to kidnap her? In a law-abiding society, could I kill her? Even if I did, would you then love me?”

Melissa Merce’s mind was quite clear.

She wasn’t a foolish girl, after all, she was the daughter of The Monroe Family.

”I’m sorry...” Finn Morgan apologized sincerely.

”If sorry worked, why would we need the police?” Melissa Merce covered her red, swollen cheek, ”The first slap of my life for no reason, if I told my father, you’d probably have to come with your family to apologize!”

”You can hit me back.” Finn Morgan closed his eyes and said calmly, ”As long as it makes you feel better.”

”I won’t!” Melissa Merce said, ”You can treat me to dinner tonight! As compensation! I’m here alone in Riventhal, you should be a good host.”

This matter, Finn Morgan couldn’t refuse, after all, he had hit her by mistake.

”A meal isn’t too much to ask?” Melissa Merce reminded, ”This is the first slap I’ve received in my life.”

He knew she was the cherished daughter of the Monroe Family, raised in the palm of their hand.

He could not love her, but he could not hit her... especially when she had done nothing wrong.

Finn Morgan considered not wanting to affect the friendly and business relationship between the two families, so he agreed, ”Alright, consider it an apology.”

”I’ll choose the venue, I’ll search online, just wait for my notification.” Melissa Merce, with her red, swollen face, gave him a slight smile, ”I hope you won’t stand me up, a man should keep his word.”

Finn Morgan had another property, he surprisingly didn’t hurry them to leave, deciding to talk after dinner.

Watching him turn to walk out, Melissa Merce didn’t try to make him stay, knowing she couldn’t hold him back.

”Miss...” Mrs. Hai was very distressed, leaning in to look at her face carefully, ”I’ll go get you some ice.”

Melissa Merce sat down on the sofa, and Mrs. Hai soon brought an ice pack to help her apply it to her swollen face, ”Miss, how do you feel... it must hurt, right?”

”He will pay for this slap.” Melissa Merce’s eyes were slightly cool, and she muttered a few words softly.

Mrs. Hai was puzzled, ”Isn’t having a meal a reconciliation?”

Melissa Merce didn’t respond, she already had her own plan, covering the ice pack and falling into contemplation.
