CHAPTER 318: CHAPTER 318: HE KISSED THE TOP OF HER HEAD FORCEFULLY...

He gently called her name over and over, kissing her with extreme tenderness again and again...

Finally, Melody Parker woke up.

She slowly opened her eyes, and immediately, she saw a perfect face enlarging before her eyes.

She stared blankly at the man and softly called out, "Adrian..."

Adrian’s movements stopped.

He looked at Melody Parker, whispering tenderly, "Melody..."

Realizing what the man was about to do when she woke up, Melody Parker felt a bit embarrassed.

However, before she could do or say anything, the man’s gentle voice continued, "Melody, why did you drink so much? And why did you go to the Parker family?"

It’s not that he was interfering with her freedom, but he didn’t trust a family like the Parkers.

His Melody was too kind and could easily be used by them.

If they merely wanted to use Melody to gain some benefits, that would be fine.

After all, there was nothing that Adrian Davies couldn’t provide.

But he feared they would desire too much of what didn’t belong to them, fearing their cold emotions would ultimately hurt Melody.

Moreover, her recent tears must also be related to this visit to the Parker family.

Melody Parker stared dumbly at Adrian.

Suddenly she remembered everything Maxwell Parker had said, recalling the intensely real dream she just had.

The dream was too real.

She empathized deeply with everything her mother experienced.

Just thinking about it made Melody Parker feel as though a dagger was piercing her heart.

Her dark eyes were filled with hatred.

She clutched Adrian’s clothes tightly and urgently spoke, "Adrian, today I just found out that all the suffering my mom endured was caused by the Queen of Whitehill! She cruelly murdered my mom’s entire family! Even as my mom escaped Whitehill, she still wouldn’t let her go!... Adrian, I must avenge my mom!..."

Melody Parker’s emotions were visibly agitated.

The hatred in her eyes was undisguised, reflecting the very real desire to kill the Queen of Whitehill.

Even though such intense hatred surged in her eyes, it didn’t make Adrian feel repulsed. Instead, it made him think she was genuine and made him cherish her even more.

Maybe this is it—no matter who you are, as long as I love you, you are the best in my eyes.

You smile, and I love you.

You cry, and I love you.

You cause a scene, and I will still love you.

As long as I love, in my eyes, you are the best in the world!

Watching the tears continuously fall from the corners of Melody’s eyes, Adrian’s heart broke into pieces.

He cupped her cheeks, kissing her again and again, erasing all her tears, drying all the tear stains on her face.

Adrian’s burning eyes looked at Melody, solemnly promising, "Melody, don’t worry, I will definitely avenge your mom! There’s nothing for you to worry about, I’ll have everything arranged before heading to Whitehill."

After saying this, Adrian looked at Melody again and asked, "Melody, when you went back to the Parker family today, did Maxwell tell you something?"

Although it was a question, the tone was very assured.

Melody looked at Adrian and nodded, "Yes, he talked to me about my origins. He also shared everything he knew about my mom and Whitehill."

After speaking, Melody suddenly remembered what Maxwell Parker had said about the King of Whitehill.

He said that after mom’s death, he was not happy and had fallen seriously ill!

Though she had never met him, he was still her biological father, the man her mom loved all her life!...

Melody turned to Adrian, urgently inquiring, "Adrian, dad told me that the King of Whitehill is very unhappy and has fallen seriously ill, is this all true?"

Adrian was aware of the King’s situation in Whitehill.

The reason he hadn’t told Melody before was because he didn’t want her to worry.

But since she asked now, he decided not to hide it from her.

"Yes." Adrian nodded, "It’s said that he’s not doing too well."

Melody stared blankly at Adrian, waiting for him to continue.

Adrian embraced Melody, slowly saying, "It’s said that the King and Queen of Whitehill managed to maintain a polite relationship for the first few years of their marriage, but suddenly grew distant later on. The King has not visited the Queen’s palace since, and the Queen of Whitehill has increasingly controlled the court... The King’s health has deteriorated progressively, but he’s stood against all opposition, refusing to establish the Eldest Princess Ellie, favored by the Queen, as the Crown Prince."

...

In the bedroom, Adrian and Melody spoke intermittently.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

Benjamin Parker and Daniel Davies walked in.

As soon as they returned to the villa halfway up the hill, they heard about their mom’s unusual behavior.

They didn’t pause to think, immediately rushing over.

Actually, they could have arrived earlier if not delayed by other matters.

They didn’t expect that by arriving a bit late, their dad would quickly seize the opportunity to come in and care for their drunk mom first.

Hearing the commotion at the door, Melody sat up from Adrian’s embrace and looked towards the doorway.

With her movement, their beloved children could see her eyes, swollen from crying.

Daniel Davies’s expression turned cold, "Dad, did you bully Mom?"

"Hmph!" Benjamin Parker let out a snort and immediately ran to Melody’s side.

Ready to ignore Adrian any time, he anxiously asked Melody, "Mom, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?"

As he spoke, he glared at Adrian and continued asking, "Did he bully you?"

Melody shook her head, "Mom is fine!"

Benjamin clearly didn’t believe her, "Then why are you crying?"

Melody: "..."

Could she say that it was the sandstorm that got into her eyes?

The answer was painfully obvious: No!

Not to mention where would the sandstorm come from inside the house, even if she wasn’t in the house, she couldn’t possibly fool her clever beloved children.

After all, they were all so smart.

Melody smiled, pulling Benjamin into a hug, "Mom just suddenly thought of some unhappy things, but your dad already consoled mom. Before you guys came in, mom was already fine."

Benjamin looked skeptical, glancing at Adrian, "Really?"

Adrian nodded, "Yes, darling, how could I ever bully your mom?"

After speaking, he affectionately ruffled Benjamin’s hair, "Darling, you wrongly accused Dad just now, Dad feels very wronged."

"You’re... You’re an adult now! Why feel wronged?"

Benjamin complained disdainfully, but still leaned over to give Adrian a hug, his tone much softened, "Considering that Dad consoled Mom, we’ll let you join the game with me and brother later."
