CHAPTER 267: CHAPTER 267: GIRL, ADRIAN WILL BE ENTRUSTED TO YOU FROM NOW ON...

In his mind, he grumbled: Nonsense! If I lock you up and keep hitting you with a baton through a book, wouldn’t it hurt?

"No one gets away without paying the price for bullying my people!" Malcom Moore spoke to himself, his mischievous eyes glinting coldly.

After saying that, he looked at Serena Sterling and suddenly added, "Don’t worry, I’ve already figured out who hurt you. They’ll never get another chance to harm you again."

His words made Serena’s heart beat erratically once again.

She tried her best to ignore her unusual feelings, staring calmly at Malcom Moore and asked, "Who is it?"

Malcom Moore looked at Serena, speaking in a deep voice, "It’s your company’s designer, Valery Owens."

Serena nodded.

She knew it must be her.

She looked at Malcom Moore, once again gratefully saying, "Young Master Morris, thank you."

...

Melody Parker stayed at the Davies family castle in Europe for a week.

During this week, her vocal cords had fully recovered.

After lingering here long enough, she planned to take her two little ones back to River City.

Adrian Davies had the same thought.

On this day, Adrian took Melody Parker to the hospital to visit his grandmother, planning to return to River City with Melody and the kids after the visit.

After such a long period of recovery, the Davies family grandmother’s health wasn’t completely restored, but she had regained sensation in her legs and no longer had to be bedridden.

When Adrian and the others arrived at the hospital, the Davies family grandmother was sitting in a wheelchair reading the newspaper.

Seeing them come in, Grandma Davies was thoroughly delighted.

She put down the newspaper, joyfully expressing, "Adrian, you’re here."

After speaking, she looked at the two little ones, "Come on, my dears, let great-grandma take a good look."

Benjamin Parker and Daniel approached, obediently saying, "Great-grandma."

Grandma Davies laughed heartily, "Good, good."

Then she looked at Melody Parker with a kind expression and confirmed, "You’re the mother of these kids, right, Melody?"

Melody Parker stepped forward politely, "Yes, grandmother."

"Good, good." Looking at Melody Parker, Grandma Davies was immensely fond of her.

This girl seemed sincere and genuine, very different from her sister.

Moreover, she was the biological mother of the two little ones and someone Adrian had chosen.

The old lady looked at Melody, beckoning her, "Come here, dear."

Melody Parker walked closer.

The old lady took Melody’s hand, rubbing it gently, "Dear, I’m entrusting Adrian to you."

Melody Parker: "..."

This is quite a big responsibility!

She looked at the old lady, speaking tenderly, "Grandmother, Adrian and I aren’t..."

"Grandmother knows." The old lady interrupted Melody before she finished, holding her hand tightly, and continued kindly, "Dear, Adrian has never been close to any girl over these years, you’re the only one. He truly likes you."

Seemingly remembering something unpleasant, a touch of sadness appeared on the old lady’s face, "Adrian’s parents passed away early, and his grandfather, who raised him, also left him soon after... Adrian has had a tough life these years. Only by entrusting him to you can grandmother be at ease."

Saying this, the old lady’s aged eyes looked intently at Melody, "Dear, promise grandmother you’ll take good care of Adrian for me, won’t you?"

Melody Parker: "..."

Watching the old lady, Melody didn’t know what to say, nor how to refuse.

The old lady looked at Melody, continued, "Dear, grandmother knows you haven’t made up your mind yet and still want to test Adrian. You can test him however you want. If Adrian does anything wrong, don’t hesitate to tell grandmother, and I’ll teach him a lesson for you."

Since childhood, except for her two little ones, Melody had never felt the warmth of family.

But today, she felt it from this elderly lady she had just met.

She held her hand warmly, as if she were her real grandmother.

Melody looked at the old lady, and nodded, "Yes, grandmother."

The old lady’s face lit up with a smile.

Then she suddenly removed the bracelet from her wrist and put it on Melody’s wrist, "Dear, this is the Davies family’s heirloom. It was passed to grandmother by your great-grandmother when I married into the Davies family. Now grandmother is passing it to you, you must take good care of it."

Melody looked at the ancient jade bracelet, adorned with gold on her wrist, and was instantly shocked.

She had merely promised that if Adrian bullied her in the future, she would tell the old lady, and agreed to give Adrian a chance, a proper test, and just like that, the Davies’ family heirloom was given to her?

"Grandmother, I can’t accept something so precious." Melody refused and tried to remove the bracelet from her wrist.

"Melody, grandmother gave it to you, just keep it." Adrian grasped Melody’s hand, stopping her from taking off the bracelet.

"Mommy, it looks nice on you. Besides, returning it to great-grandma would be impolite." Benjamin Parker said, looking up at Melody.

"Mommy, great-grandma likes you that’s why she gave it to you." Daniel echoed, looking up at Melody as well.

"Yes dear, I gave it to you because I like you." The old lady added, purposely putting on a displeased look, "Do you despise me, thinking my things are beneath you?"

"Not at all, grandmother." Melody quickly explained, "It’s just that it’s too valuable, so I..."

Grandma Davies kept a firm expression, interrupting Melody’s words, "What’s so valuable about it? Is anything more important than the two dear great-grandchildren you’ve given to the Davies family?"

With that, she continued in a commanding tone, "Grandmother gave it to you, take it."

Though it was a commanding tone, it wasn’t unlikeable at all.

Thus, under the old lady’s insistence, and with Adrian and the two little ones assisting, the bracelet ultimately belonged to Melody.

...

After leaving the hospital, Adrian took Melody and the two little ones, directly boarding a helicopter to return to River City.

Upon arriving in River City, Melody took the children back to the small apartment in Imperial Vista Garden.

As soon as they entered the apartment, Benjamin eagerly turned on the robot Holly.

Holly immediately twisted its limbs mechanically, asking, "Where did my two little masters go?"

Without waiting for them to respond, Holly continued dejectedly, "Are my two little masters upset with Holly because you haven’t played with me for so long?"

Looking at Holly’s dejected and pitiful expression, Benjamin and Daniel burst out laughing.
