Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 169: How can I let another man buy clothes for my own woman...
Melody Parker flared up instantly.
Furious, she glared at the man and scolded, "What do you mean by ’it’s fine’? Haven’t you been the same as me, not having eaten much since last night? Adrian, you’re the patient!"
Adrian nodded, "Yes, I’m the patient."
Melody Parker rolled her eyes, "So, you should be aware of it and eat quickly."
Adrian looked at Melody Parker, an innocent look on his face, "But Melody, my arm is injured."
Injured arm?
Ha, wasn’t his injured arm clearly the left one?
As a domineering businessman, he probably doesn’t read romance novels, right?
Otherwise, she’d suspect he was using a plot from one of those books!
Melody Parker looked at Adrian with disdain, "Adrian, your injured arm is on the left. Don’t tell me you’re left-handed? I’ve eaten with you; you can’t fool me."
After speaking, Melody Parker glanced at Locke, who was standing outside, "And even if you were left-handed, isn’t Locke here?"
Melody Parker’s words were very clear.
First, Adrian, don’t pretend; you can’t fool me.
Second, even if you did fool me, I’m not dumb. If you need someone to feed you, go find Locke.
Adrian had no choice but to eat by himself.
Seeing the man move gracefully, exuding nobility, no longer just staring at her.
Melody Parker finally felt satisfied and continued to eat her food comfortably.
After breakfast, Melody Parker remembered that she still needed to film, so she went upstairs to find the clothes she had changed out of last night.
Last night, after removing her bloodstained clothes, she washed them immediately.
By now, they should be dry.
All she needed to do was change into her own clothes, leave the villa, and have Barrett Carter take her to the filming location.
Melody Parker’s plan seemed perfect.
But things did not go as planned.
She went upstairs to where she hung her clothes last night, only to find it empty, with nothing there.
Melody Parker was stunned.
Where were her clothes?
How could they have vanished?
Melody Parker ran downstairs, found Uncle Steven, and asked, "Uncle Steven, did you see the clothes I hung to dry last night?"
Uncle Steven looked at Melody Parker and replied matter-of-factly, "Miss’s clothes were stained with blood, bad luck; I threw them away."
Melody Parker: "Threw them away?"
Uncle Steven nodded, "Yes, threw them away."
Melody Parker: "..."
How could this happen?
What was she supposed to do? She couldn’t possibly go to the filming location in these mismatched clothes.
Thinking of something, Melody Parker turned her head to Locke, who was not far from the man, "Locke, could you please do me a favor and buy me some clothes?"
Before Locke could respond, a cold voice came through, "No!"
Melody Parker was infuriated, "Adrian, if you don’t buy clothes, what am I supposed to wear?"
Adrian’s deep gaze fell on Melody Parker, and he said with a firm attitude, "How can I let another man buy clothes for my woman?"
After speaking, he glanced at what Melody Parker was wearing, "Melody, you look good in this outfit."
Melody Parker: "..."
What the hell is he talking about?
Is he blind or what?
This thing she’s wearing, does it even count as clothes?
This is basically a burlap sack!
She was too lazy to pay attention to Adrian and looked back at Locke, "Locke, ......"
Before Melody Parker could finish, Locke intervened with a troubled look, "Miss Parker, please don’t make it difficult for me."
Melody Parker turned to Adrian, "Adrian, what are you trying to do? You can’t expect me to go to the filming location like this?"
Adrian shook his head, "No need."
Hearing this, Melody Parker breathed a sigh of relief, "Then hurry and have someone buy clothes for me, or have you already sent someone to get them?"
Adrian continued shaking his head, "No."
Melody Parker: "..."
She was having a hard time controlling her rage.
She really wanted to rush over and give the man in front of her a good beating.
Adrian, with his dark eyes full of affection, looked at Melody Parker and continued, "Filming is on hold, so you don’t need to go to the filming location."
Melody Parker stared at Adrian, confused, "Why is filming on hold?"
Adrian’s lips subtly curved as he looked at Melody Parker, "Because we were ambushed and need to rest."
Melody Parker had always known that Adrian’s smile was incredibly charming, capable of confusing one’s mind.
However, she had more important things now and wouldn’t be easily swayed by Adrian.
She needed to finish the filming quickly and return to River City to find her other son.
Melody Parker looked at Adrian, "Adrian, I’m fine, I can film."
"Yes." Adrian nodded, "I know you’re fine. But I’m injured, and you need to stay and take care of me."
Melody Parker glanced at Locke, "Isn’t Locke here? And if not Locke, there’s always Uncle Steven, right?"
Adrian looked at Melody Parker, his attitude firm, "I just want you."
Locke spoke up in time, "Miss Parker, both Uncle Steven and I are men, so we’re likely to be clumsy in taking care of others. Besides, whatever the president says is final. If you leave, I’m afraid..."
Locke didn’t finish his sentence.
But even without Locke finishing, Melody Parker knew.
This man, besides being domineering and narcissistic, was stubborn and egocentric.
Just like the situation with the bullet yesterday.
Obviously, Uncle Steven could have done better, but this man?
He actually preferred to have her, a complete novice, recklessly cut around on his wound rather than letting Uncle Steven handle it.
Now, if she left, he probably would really do something even crazier, right?...
In the end, Melody Parker stayed, remaining by Adrian’s side all day.
Throughout the entire day, while Adrian rested in the villa, Melody Parker stayed by his side, taking care of him.
Pouring him tea, giving him medicine, having lunch with him...
To Adrian, Melody Parker didn’t really need to do anything.
Just her being quietly by his side was enough to make him happy.
Being cared for like this by Melody Parker, Adrian couldn’t help but have some unusual thoughts.
He even thought that if he had known earlier how kind Melody was, he should’ve let himself get hurt a few more times.
Letting Melody care for him a few more times, perhaps he would have gotten what he wanted sooner!...
The day passed quickly.
Especially such warm-hearted times, they went by particularly fast.
As night fell, after dinner, Melody Parker helped Adrian back to his room to rest.
Entering the room, they sat on the wide, comfortable bed.
Adrian couldn’t help but recall that night in the hotel, the feeling of holding Melody Parker while sleeping embraced.
