Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 654: Kuhn Appears at the Royal Tomb Late at Night...
As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around the man’s strong waist again, seeking comfort, and continued miserably, "Adrian, I’ve lost my father, from now on, I only have you..."
Adrian Davies frowned and immediately retorted, "Don’t we still have the little ones?"
Melody Parker smiled through her tears, nodding vigorously in Adrian’s embrace, "Yes, yes, the little ones too."
After speaking, Melody Parker lifted her head.
Her eyes were gentle, full of affection as she looked at Adrian Davies, promising, "Adrian, don’t worry. Once I stabilize Whitehill, I’ll go back to River City with you and live a happy life that’s just ours."
When she said this, there wasn’t a trace of pain in Melody Parker’s eyes, only a yearning for the future life.
On the night of Muir’s burial, Kuhn avoided everyone and entered the royal mausoleum. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Following behind him was a short man dressed in black linen.
Kuhn stood tall and straight before Muir’s coffin, without hesitation, directly opening the coffin lid.
Glancing at Muir who lay inside, with a peaceful expression and a smile on his lips, Kuhn instructed the man behind him, "Check the King’s body immediately!"
"Yes!" The man in black responded, stepping forward to examine.
Standing by the coffin, he said, "Pardon me, Your Majesty." Then he reached into the coffin, turned Muir’s body over, and checked for noticeable dark spots on his back.
Upon seeing the horrific splotches on Muir’s back, he quickly pulled out a silver needle cleaned with soapberry water and pierced Muir’s stomach.
In a short while, the silver needle turned black in his hand.
Seeing the blackened needle in his hand, the man reported back to Kuhn, "The king indeed died from poisoning!"
Kuhn was in shock.
He had only suspected, never thought it was true!
Back then, Eureka had said the king could live for six months, yet he passed away in less than half a month. This was absolutely not the outcome of a diagnosis from a reputable expert.
Leaving the mausoleum, Kuhn immediately dialed Ralph Carter’s number, "Our suspicion was correct, return to the palace immediately!"
In the ink-black night, Melody Parker stood in front of the bathroom mirror, her eyes icy and poisonous as she looked at her own exquisite, alluring face in the mirror.
As she stared, she suddenly laughed.
This smile dispelled the coldness and poison from her eyes.
Her eyes softened again, now tinted with an indescribable smugness and eagerness.
Melody Parker looked at herself in the mirror, tugging at the white silk slip she wore, opened the bathroom door, and walked out lightly.
Not seeing the person she was looking for in the bedroom, Melody Parker directly went to the study.
In the study, Adrian Davies was busy handling state affairs.
His brows slightly furrowed as he looked at the document in his hand, elegantly holding the cigarette between his slender fingertips to his lips, taking a soft drag, and slowly blowing smoke rings.
Melody Parker pushed open the study door and saw the handsome man enveloped in smoke.
He wore a white handmade shirt, with the top three buttons undone, subtly revealing his well-built chest.
The brilliant light in the study bathed his chiseled, handsome face, adding to the wildness of the scene with the swirling smoke.
Looking at the man in the study, Melody Parker’s eyes filled with a smile.
This child of fortune, a man with exceptional gifts, was hers!
At this moment, he was tirelessly sharing her burdens, dealing with the messy affairs of Whitehill.
Melody Parker walked over softly, her eyes gentle as she watched the man, "Adrian, it’s very late, you should rest early."
"Hmm." Adrian Davies nodded, standing up.
His eyes, black as ink, glanced over the thin sleepwear Melody wore, with a mischievous arch of his brows, his handsome face carrying a roguish smile as he lightly asked her, "Can’t wait, darling?"
A single sentence turned Melody Parker’s face red with embarrassment.
She shyly lowered her head, her voice uttering in shame and anger, "Adrian!..."
"Haha." Adrian Davies let out a light chuckle, looking at the woman, speaking frankly, "Still shy, are we?"
With that, Adrian Davies approached Melody Parker.
He lifted her horizontally into his arms, striding out of the study, and threw her onto the bed, "Wait here, I’ll come to feed you soon."
Saying this, Adrian Davies leaned down towards the woman...
Melody Parker looked at the man so close by.
His eyes were deep, inviting as a spring, luring people in.
His handsome brows, long and curling lashes, high and straight nose, thin sensual lips.
The man before her was so perfect.
He belonged to her and could only ever belong to her!
At such a close distance, looking at his handsome, profound features, inhaling his chilly, alluring masculine scent, Melody Parker was so enchanted she almost fainted.
She closed her eyes, her heart pounding in anticipation, waiting for Adrian Davies’ impending kiss...
At this moment, Adrian Davies hovered over her.
His hands rested beside her body, keeping an arm’s length between them.
His eyes, black as ink, observed the woman with closed eyes, full of inquiry and doubt...
Melody Parker, having waited a while without the man’s kiss, slowly opened her eyes.
"Adrian..." she softly called, sounding aggrieved and gentle.
Then she extended her arms, wrapping them around his neck, taking the initiative to kiss his lips.
As Melody Parker’s lips approached, Adrian Davies turned his head to avoid it.
He removed her arms from around his neck, stood up straight, looked down at her, and softly said, "Melody, your father just passed away, isn’t it inappropriate for us to be like this?"
Melody Parker froze.
Soon, her eyes, dark and bright, were filled with sadness.
Besides the obvious sadness, there was also a subtle hint of grievance and unwillingness deep in her eyes.
She pulled the silk quilt next to her, covering her delicate body, softly saying with dim eyes, "Yes, Adrian, let’s rest tonight. We have all the time in the world."
"Yes, we have all the time in the world." Adrian Davies chuckled lowly.
Yet, his smile did not reach his eyes.
His gaze was indulgent, but his look at her lacked warmth as he softly said, "You go ahead and sleep, I’ll go to the study and handle some messy paperwork."
Finishing his words, Adrian Davies turned and left.
Watching his departing back, Melody Parker wanted to call out to him.
She opened her mouth, about to call "Adrian..." but something stopped her, and she closed it.
...
In the study, Adrian Davies stood by the window.
He looked at the endless night outside, his eyes dark and cold as ink, swirling with turbulent waves...
