Are You Hiding Something from Me?

Melanie, with her golden hair and piercing eyes, watched as her hot-tempered husband returned after disappearing without a word.

She held the whip in her hand and smiled as she asked Cheney, "Well, well, you managed to take Lora to Alpha Star and then sent Marcus and the others to other planets. I thought you had no intention of coming back."

Cheney's face lit up with a smile, trying his best to appear sincere.

"Wasn't it all for Lora? She was in a hurry to leave, and she didn't want the captain to know. As her master, I had no choice but to protect her all the way. As for sending Marcus away, it was also for Lora's sake."

However, she still held onto Cheney's hand, intertwining their fingers tightly.

"But you were still in the wrong!"
