'That's Ian's voice!'
Melody Monroe looked around the room, thinking she was hearing things.
Ian Monroe struggled to get up.
'Daddy said I couldn't make any noise! It was supposed to be a surprise for Mommy!'
'But it's so dark and cramped in this box. I really want to get out!'
Melody noticed that the box sitting in the room was moving!
She immediately walked over to it.
Evan Fairchild roughly yanked off his tie and undid the top three buttons of his shirt. He watched the woman walk toward the box, his gaze as deep as an endless abyss.
'Kids really are the most troublesome things!'
Melody walked over, crouched in front of the box, and gently opened it.
Ian Monroe suddenly jumped up, exclaiming excitedly, "Mommy!"
Melody jumped in fright. But when she saw it was Ian, she excitedly lifted Ian Monroe out of the box.
"Sweetheart! What are you doing here?"
"Mommy, what were you just doing? Why didn't you open the box?"
Melody was at a loss for words.
