Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 534: He Guarded Her Without Leaving Her Side…
That’s because he thought there was no need to say it, believing that someone from the past shouldn’t provoke unnecessary misunderstandings between him and Luna, who could have thought...
If he had known that it would lead to this series of events, he would have revealed everything about his past with Grace Quarters the moment she appeared in River City.
But time can’t be turned back.
Victoria’s death was an accident, an accident caused by him.
He was just as grief-stricken as Luna, but he never thought, nor would he ever let go of Luna’s hand.
Malcom Moore looked painfully at Serena Sterling and slowly spoke: "Luna..."
Serena Sterling continued as she looked at Malcom, "Your initial concealment of your first love shows a lack of trust in me... When you learned the true cause of my mother’s death, you didn’t tell me immediately because you were busy caring for your first love. Malcom, maybe you haven’t even realized how important your first love is to you!"
Malcom hurriedly said, "No, it’s not like that, Luna, it’s not what you think!"
"Maybe, but it doesn’t matter anymore." Serena Sterling spoke, looking at Malcom with a heart as dead as ashes, "Malcom, I’m tired. Let me have some time to calm down."
Serena’s resoluteness was evident to Malcom.
He felt so much heartache he couldn’t breathe. Her misunderstanding of him was deep. How should he explain all of this?
Serena pushed Malcom away and lay down on the bed.
"I’m tired, please go," she said coldly, then closed her eyes.
Malcom didn’t leave.
He sat there quietly, looking at the woman on the hospital bed with pity.
Serena turned her back to Malcom.
Tiny, glistening tears silently rolled down the corners of her eyes...
Not knowing how much time had passed, Serena unwittingly fell asleep.
Listening to her light breaths, Malcom stood up.
He walked around the hospital bed, standing in front of Serena.
Looking at the lingering tears on her cheeks, he raised his hand to wipe them away with deep pain.
His long and beautiful fingers stopped just before touching the tear stains.
Then, he withdrew his hand.
He was afraid, afraid he would wake her.
He stood there, looking at the girl with determined eyes, softly muttering, "Luna, I will never let go of your hand!"
Absolutely not!
There were two lives between them, but so what?
He loved Luna, and Luna loved him.
Her uncle saved his father, and her mother’s death was an accident, caused by that lunatic Ivy Wood...
They couldn’t punish themselves for others’ mistakes, couldn’t separate despite loving each other.
Moreover, both her uncle and aunt wished for Luna to marry him.
Malcom looked at Serena again, softly murmuring, "Luna, have you forgotten? Aunt always liked me as a son-in-law and always wanted you to marry me! You promised aunt you would marry me."
Serena lay there quietly, breathing softly.
Malcom looked at her for a while longer, then turned and walked out of the hospital room.
He went to the stairway outside the hospital room and lit one cigarette after another.
What Malcom didn’t know was that the moment he turned to leave the room, crystalline tears silently rolled down the cheeks of the girl who lay asleep with her eyes closed...
Time flew by quickly.
The night in River City gradually retreated, and the red sun slowly rose.
Serena got up from the hospital bed, changed out of her hospital gown, and walked out of the room.
As she opened the door, Malcom, reeking of smoke, approached.
He looked at Serena and asked in a deep voice, "Luna, where are you going?"
Serena looked at Malcom.
He looked more haggard, with heavy dark circles under his roguishly charming eyes.
And he had a strong smell of smoke.
Had he been smoking outside all night?
Serena’s heart, full of countless wounds, still couldn’t help but calm down.
Compared to this pain, the grief of losing her mother was even more agonizing.
She looked at Malcom, coldly speaking with a steeled heart, "I’m fine now, ready to be discharged."
"Okay, I’ll go handle the discharge procedures."
Malcom turned to leave.
He was stopped by Serena, "Malcom, no need, I’ll handle it myself,"
Malcom’s eyes filled with pain, "Luna..."
Serena coldly smiled, "Malcom, I think I made it very clear last night."
"Yes, you made it very clear, but I also made it very clear." Malcom grabbed Serena’s hand, "I absolutely won’t break up with you, I will..."
"Marry me?" Serena asked coldly.
Malcom nodded, "Yes!"
"But I won’t marry you!" Serena looked at Malcom, coldly mocking, "Does Young Master Morris plan to force it?"
Malcom looked at Serena, without hesitation, "I will!"
Serena: "..."
"Luna, I will never let go of your hand in this lifetime! If necessary, I will even force you to be my wife!"
Malcom said domineeringly, then added gently, "So, don’t run, and I won’t allow you to run."
When she’s heartbroken and sad, he will be heartbroken and sad with her.
When she feels guilty and pained, he will feel guilty and pained with her.
In any case, he will be there for her.
And he believes that after some time, she will be able to come around.
Malcom looked at Serena and then suddenly changed the topic, "I’m going to handle the discharge."
Serena was discharged from the hospital, but Malcom domineeringly took her to his apartment.
Malcom brought Serena here because he didn’t want her to be alone at Sterling Manor, surrounded by memories and pain.
Also because this apartment was their love nest, filled with countless warm memories.
Malcom hoped Serena could remember those good times they shared here and change her mind about breaking up with him.
Of course, Serena didn’t want to come here.
But Malcom was too domineering, disregarding her resistance, carrying her from the hospital to the car.
Then, without soliciting her opinion, he drove directly here and carried her upstairs without a word.
For the next three days, Malcom stayed with Serena in the apartment.
During those three days, he didn’t go anywhere, staying by Serena’s side without leaving.
And after those three days, Serena’s attitude seemed to slightly soften.
On the fourth day, there was an urgent matter at Malcom’s company that required his attention.
Malcom glanced at Serena and told the person on the other end of the phone, "I understand, organize it, and there will be a video conference soon."
Then, whatever the person on the other end said, Malcom coldly rebuked, "Do you not want to work anymore? Do as I instructed!"
After speaking, he directly hung up the phone.
