Brandon furrowed his brow. Why was this new Mrs. Moore taking every opportunity to pick on him like a hawk? Did he give off an air of brawn but zero brains in her eyes?

Just as Melody was about to unleash another jab, Edward rolled out of the study, interrupting her. "Alright, that's enough. Get me to the medicinal bath," he commanded.

Melody nodded curtly but not before a quick glance swept over the desk. The scattered documents, filled with details about her life, caught her eye for a fleeting moment. A subtle smirk tugged at the corner of her lips.
