Chapter 55
In name, it was to visit the elderly, but in reality, it was just in case, to let them go out and hide.
The father and daughter didn’t say much on the phone.
Taniyah had already told them about the specific situation. All the questions, worries, and concerns that they had were temporarily brushed aside in silence.
Deangelo Melton only said to take good care of herself.
She was fully prepared, but in the end, they didn’t come to the community, nor did they find her house, not even a single harassing phone call.
The popularity on Instagram, however, did not decrease at all.
Is it possible that you are holding back your big move?
Or perhaps… was Ezequiel still afraid?
Just because he stood up for her at the charity dinner that night, does it mean he had such a great influence?
Speaking of Ezequiel, since she moved in here, he hasn’t appeared anymore. Even Miguel has moved to the

times.
Sometimes, this man was truly a gentleman and attentive.
Evening.
Guadalupe saw Miguel in the kitchen, preparing dinner.
She went in to help him out and have a chat.
“Miguel, where did Mr. Hodge stay these past few days?”
“Mr. Hodge wouldn’t be homeless,” Miguel chuckled and said, “This house is just a temporary residence for him, it’s close to the company and convenient. These days, he has let out the house and gone back home, and Mr. and Mrs. Hodge happen to miss him too.”
Guadalupe nodded understandingly.
The place they naturally returned home to was the Hodge’s place.
Miguel, not knowing what fun idea had come to his mind, whispered to her, “Actually, you know, Mr. and Mrs. Hodge had an important reason for sending him back this time.”
Guadalupe readily responded, “What important matter?”
“Blind date.”
“Did Ezequiel need a blind date?”
“Mr. Hodge, as the eldest son of the family, his marriage is of utmost importance to the entire family. Two years ago, during the Lunar New Year, he was urged to settle the matter, and he accepted the arrangements and met several young ladies from prestigious families, but nothing came of it. At that time, his focus was still on his work in Smeybia, so after the New Year, he left and his wife couldn’t do anything about it. Now that he has returned to the country, it seems like he can’t escape from it.”
“Ie, too, was just like an ordinary person, unable to escape the fate of being pressured into marriage by his parents.”
Guadalupe was quite nostalgic.
I always felt that the earthly matter of blind dates and pressure to get married didn’t match with someone like Ezequiel, who was shining and living at the top of the pyramid as Mr. Hodge.
He should have always maintained a mysterious and aloof demeanor, detached from the mundane world, as it suited his temperament.
Miguel sighed. “Ah, Mr. Hodge was always a reserved person, especially when it came to matters of the opposite sex.”
Was it…?
What about Melany, who had experienced love and hate, and the ups and downs of a relationship?
Although Ezequiel himself said that he didn’t like women (and possibly liked men). she didn’t believe that they hadn’t had anything going on, like Melany did.
The most likely scenario is that the two of them were in love, but Ezequiel unilaterally announced the breakup for some unspeakable reason, while Melany still deeply loved him, Of course, it is possible that Ezequiel still cared deep down, but he just enjoyed torturing her, finding satisfaction in seeing her suffer…
Guadalupe silently imagined in her mind, without speaking out, and gave a flawless response, “Don’t worry, marriage is predestined. Maybe the next noble lady who goes on a blind date with him will capture his heart at first sight.”
“Then I will borrow your kind words.”
Just as she finished speaking, a low, mellow and cold voice came from the
door
Guadalupe was startled, turned around, and saw Ezequiel standing at the kitchen door.
Oh heavens, how long has he been here?
When did you come?
Where did you start listening from?
Miguel, who rarely gossiped and was afraid to look at him, was rarely caught gossiping when he dared to do so.
The two people behind the cricket boss were extremely embarrassed.
Ezequiel looked at them with a cold gaze and said, “Don’t cook anymore, grab a chair, buy a pound of dessert, and sit at the entrance of the community to chat.”
Guadalupe: ”
Miguel: ”
He understood irony.
Ezequiel averted his gaze and left the doorway of the kitchen.
Guadalupe thought for a moment and then followed, walking all the way to the vicinity of the study.
