Chapter 412 - 410: Aya Winters Takes the Initiative to Visit

Although Shannon Paxton’s motive was obvious, there was no real malice behind it.

Melody Monroe knew the reason everyone treated her this way was because of the mysterious, wealthy sponsor backing her.

And now, she had also gotten involved with Evan Fairchild.

More than once, she’d overheard people whispering about who her sponsor could possibly be.

They even called her promiscuous, speculating that she’d probably try to seduce Evan Fairchild next.

She didn’t understand. ’Why does everyone assume my sponsor couldn’t possibly be Evan Fairchild?’

’I’ve never even met that Shawn Fisher or the Rockwell family’s second young master.’

After the group photos were taken, everyone was about ready to leave.

"Captain, how about the few of us take a few more pictures?" Shaun Owen asked Melody Monroe.

"Sure!" Melody Monroe readily agreed.

"Shaun Owen, Jenson Yates, you two stand next to the Captain! The three of us girls will stand in the back."

"Yeah, yeah, I don’t want to stand next to the Captain."

"I’ve gotten so tan these past few days. I’ll stand on the side!"

"If I stand next to the Captain, I’ll instantly look like a short, frumpy potato!"

Melody Monroe was speechless.

"So, are we taking this picture or not?" Melody Monroe asked, looking back at them.

"We are! We are!" They immediately got into position.

"Shaun Owen, can you stretch your arm out a little further!"

"My arm’s getting tired! Hurry up and pose. Squeeze in closer!"

"Um..." Shannon Paxton walked over. "Should I take it for you?"

"Oh, great! Thanks, Shannon Paxton."

Shannon Paxton took the phone and snapped a few photos for them.

"Melody Monroe, can I get a picture with you?"

"Of course," Melody Monroe nodded.

"Here, I’ll take it for you two," Shaun Owen said, taking the phone and snapping a few shots.

"Sigh. After we part ways now, who knows if we’ll ever be able to get together again," Yvonne Lewis lamented.

"Yeah, once we leave, we’ll probably all be busy with our own lives." Cynthia Jacobs’s eyes glistened with tears. "Ugh! I hate this! Don’t be like that. I hate goodbyes more than anything."

Melody Monroe was also moved by the atmosphere, and her thoughts turned to her good friend and roommate, little Summer.

The only person who truly cared for her.

Even after going home for the holidays, Summer never forgot to call her once a day and would send her snacks, afraid she might go hungry.

"We can," Melody Monroe said suddenly.

Hearing her say that, the others couldn’t help but smile.

"The Captain’s right! If we want to get together, what’s stopping us!"

Shannon Paxton really envied them. Standing here, she felt like she couldn’t quite fit in. ’Actually, Melody Monroe isn’t what she seems on the outside. She must be easy to get along with.’

’You can tell just from how she interacts with her little team.’

’So, as long as I’m persistent, I can definitely become friends with Melody Monroe.’

’These people have the same goal as me! They’re all just trying to get on Melody Monroe’s good side.’

"Everyone else has left. We should get going too."

"Okay. Yvonne Lewis, are you leaving tomorrow?"

"I’m heading to Jansburg. I have a few auditions, so I’m hoping for the best."

"In that case, let’s leave together tomorrow morning. You can ride with me."

"Okay!"

"What about you, Captain? Are you leaving tomorrow too?"

"Yes, tomorrow as well, but probably a little later," Melody Monroe replied softly.

The group chatted as they walked out.

Outside, a few figures were standing around, apparently waiting for someone.

Shannon Paxton glanced over, then did a double take. Wasn’t that person Aya Winters?! The others saw her too and froze in shock.

’So, Aya Winters really is in Somberfell City!’
