Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 204: Mommy’s Relic Turns Out to Be the Twin Butterfly Jade Pendant…
Maxwell Parker hunched his back and quickly walked over.
Before Melody Parker could react, he had gently grasped her hand.
His aged, cloudy eyes looked at Melody Parker, and he spoke with delight, "Melody, have you come back to see your father? Have you forgiven your father?"
Melody Parker said nothing.
Looking at the worn-out old man before her, she suddenly realized that this person was nothing like her father, and could never be her father.
What kind of father in this world watches his children suffer humiliation without a care?
Even a tiger, fierce as it is, will not harm its cubs, but what about him?
If it weren’t for Mummy, would he have kept her alive back then?
Even if to honor Mummy’s dying wish, he spared her life, when did he ever take on even the slightest responsibility of being a father?
Melody Parker gently withdrew her hand from Maxwell Parker’s grasp.
Her cool gaze fixed on Maxwell Parker as she coldly and directly asked, "The reason I’m here today is that I have something to ask you. I hope you can tell me the truth. Who exactly is my Mummy? And are you really my biological father?"
Melody Parker’s straightforward questioning caused the unprepared Maxwell Parker to shudder violently.
He looked at Melody Parker, his hands unable to stop trembling.
He tried to discern something from Melody Parker’s eyes, but there was nothing.
Her dark eyes were like a bottomless whirlpool.
Her gaze was cold and aloof, sharp as if it could pierce his heart.
What did she know?
But she shouldn’t know yet!
Maxwell Parker dared not meet Melody Parker’s eyes, forcing himself to lower his head, "Melody, of course, I’m your father."
His inability to face her, along with his guilty words, confirmed Melody Parker’s suspicions.
He really wasn’t her biological father!
But why, even at this juncture when she has come to ask him, why does he still lie to her?
"You liar!" Melody Parker stared straight at Maxwell Parker. "If you claim to be my biological father, then tell me, do you know about the butterfly mark on my back? Is it natural?"
"Yes!" Maxwell Parker’s voice came from beneath his bowed head.
Melody Parker looked at him and continued to challenge, "Then do you know what makes that butterfly mark different?"
Maxwell Parker: "..."
Is there something different?
All he could say was that the butterfly mark was natural, a symbol of Melody’s identity, but beyond that, he couldn’t say.
Melody Parker looked at Maxwell Parker, questioning, "Can’t say anything else?"
Maxwell Parker suddenly raised his head, trying to maintain composure, speaking in a way to reveal no flaws, "Nothing different, it’s just a birthmark, a very ordinary one."
As he spoke, he continued, looking at Melody Parker, "Melody, whether you admit it or not, I am your biological father."
Yes, he was Melody’s biological father, and until Melody could protect herself, he would always be!
Melody Parker gazed at Maxwell Parker in disappointment. Even now, he was still deceiving her!
She couldn’t believe a single word he uttered, nor would she ever!
An ordinary birthmark? Who else has a butterfly mark like that? 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Ha, why does she feel it’s not ordinary at all?
Besides being bizarrely located at her scapula, the butterfly mark also seemed to dance on her back like a living butterfly.
Just like not understanding why she naturally carried a unique fragrance, she also didn’t understand why she had such a butterfly mark.
Why did the butterfly mark cause intense burning pain when Adrian first touched it, making her so uncomfortable and distressed as if her life were slipping away?
Yet when he touched it the second time, nothing happened, not a hint of discomfort at all?
What on earth is going on? She’s really puzzled.
Moreover, when she was shot in the back that time, why couldn’t the doctor remove the bullet from her back?
The butterfly mark on her back was so peculiar, and her background even more so!
She clearly remembered what that doctor named Tannis said at the time. He explicitly asked her if she had any connection with the Butterfly Clan.
And then Neal Galan later told her some of the things.
Melody Parker’s dark eyes kept fixed on Maxwell Parker as she spoke again, "Some things can’t be hidden just because you want to. I will find out the truth."
Maxwell Parker: "..."
He knew he couldn’t keep it a secret forever and didn’t intend to hide it for long, but could he really tell her now?
No! He couldn’t!
At least not now!
He must fulfill Una Sutcliffe’s dying wish, must ensure she lives safely!
Seeing Maxwell Parker silent, Melody Parker coldly questioned, "If I really am your biological daughter, why have you been so harsh on me since I was a child? Why did you allow Phoebe and her daughter to insult and humiliate me without doing anything?... What is all this for? Tell me!"
Confronted with Melody Parker’s questioning, Maxwell Parker bowed his head in guilt, lower than ever before.
"I’m sorry, Melody. It’s my fault. I failed to protect you. I failed your mother..." Maxwell Parker’s voice was hoarse, trembling, with an inexplicable sadness.
Melody Parker fixed her eyes on Maxwell Parker, realizing she couldn’t get answers, and decided not to ask further.
"Alright, since you’re not saying anything, I’ll find out myself! I believe, as long as I investigate, I will uncover the truth!"
After saying this, Melody Parker turned around, ready to leave this place of heartbreak.
But just as she took a step, Maxwell Parker grabbed her arm, stopping her from leaving.
"Melody, don’t investigate anymore. Your mother left something behind. I’ll get it for you..."
Maxwell Parker’s voice was aged, hoarse. After speaking, he released Melody Parker’s hand and turned to head upstairs.
Melody Parker looked at Maxwell Parker in shock.
Mother’s belongings?
She never knew that Mother’s things remained.
She thought Phoebe would have already destroyed or burned everything that belonged to Mummy.
Without any hesitation, Melody Parker, her heart racing, followed Maxwell Parker’s steps up the stairs.
She followed Maxwell Parker into a study on the second floor.
There, Maxwell Parker opened a hidden door, then entered the storeroom behind it and took out a box.
It was an intricately carved, antique-looking redwood box.
Maxwell Parker held it in his hands and solemnly offered it to Melody Parker.
Looking at Melody Parker, he earnestly said, "Melody, this is your mother’s keepsake. You must take good care of it, and under no circumstances let outsiders see it. It’s very important!"
