Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 203: That stone pillar is the one that took Mommy’s life...

Chapter 203: Chapter 203: That stone pillar is the one that took Mommy’s life...

Bang bang bang, a series of gunshots rang out.

Following that was Bella Sutton’s hysterical scream, "Ah ah ah!..."

Irene opened her eyes, staring at the cascade of bullets piercing the sky in a daze...

After Bella Sutton emptied all the bullets from the gun, her finger relaxed, and the silver special pistol fell to the ground.

Then she staggered away.

Irene picked up the gun on the ground and followed her out.

Bella Sutton left in a daze, like a wandering ghost.

She returned to the villa, soaked to the skin, and collapsed directly onto the large bed.

Irene wanted to say something, to get Bella Sutton to take a hot shower, drink some ginger tea, and rest.

But as soon as she got closer, Bella’s sinister and frightening eyes swept over her, "Get out! If you dare defy my orders again, death!"

At that moment, she was emanating a strong murderous intent.

Irene knew that if she said even one more word, the princess would definitely kill her without hesitation.

Moreover, the important thing was that it seemed the princess needed space to be alone right now.

It was the first time in all these years following the princess that she saw her looking so lonely, so helpless, so heartbroken and devastated.

The princess she used to know was noble and graceful, proud and confident.

For her to become like this, it must have something to do with Adrian.

Irene backed out.

Of course, she didn’t forget to close the door when she left.

In the vast bedroom, only Bella Sutton was left.

She lay there, soaking wet, tears that hadn’t fallen since she was a child slipped out from her eyes once more.

She cried silently, her gray eyes filled with resentment and hatred.

Why?

Why can that woman have Adrian’s love?

Adrian was hers, destined to be hers since she was ten!

Back then, she saved him from the hands of death, his indifferent eyes filled with helplessness and despair.

Seeing him like that, she had the urge to protect him.

All these years, she nurtured him carefully, she had Kaleb infiltrate Virgil Davies’ circle just to get revenge for him.

That year, when Virgil Davies and Mistress Jade returned, they killed Grandpa Davies, and at that time, in his despair, he fell ill, like a lost child, hating and resenting the world.

She just wanted to create a bright future for him, because he was hers.

In this life, Adrian can’t marry any woman besides her!

She won’t allow him to marry anyone else! ...

Bella Sutton lay like that, crying, resenting, hating, and gradually passed out.

Eventually, Irene couldn’t put her mind to rest about Bella Sutton. Over an hour later, she gently pushed the door open to check on her.

Soaked by the rain, and lying there wet all the time, Bella Sutton unsurprisingly fell into a high fever.

Even with the fever, all she could think about was Adrian.

"Adrian, how can you be so cruel?"

"Adrian, I love you, you can’t treat me like this!"

"Adrian, what’s so good about that woman? Only I can truly help you!"

"Adrian, Adrian..."

Watching Bella Sutton like this, Irene was heartbroken.

She desperately wanted to grab a gun and end Adrian.

But she couldn’t.

Because she knew, the princess would never allow her to do such a thing.

Because Adrian’s life was more important to the princess than her own.

...

After Bella Sutton left, Adrian Davies also immediately left the Davies Clan castle.

He went to the hospital, where he personally and meticulously accompanied the elderly woman through her treatment for two days.

On the third day, he left Europe and returned to River City.

Meanwhile, in River City, Melody Parker went to the Parker family the day Adrian left.

She took a taxi and got off outside the Parker family gate.

Standing there, looking at the familiar courtyard, it was still so bleak and heartbreaking.

If it weren’t necessary, she really didn’t want to step into the Parker family doors again.

The only things this place had ever brought her were coldness and harshness, nothing more.

But concerning the mystery of her birth, the strange butterfly mark on her back, and what Neal Galan had said, she had to see Maxwell Parker and get clarity.

Melody Parker took a deep breath, silently telling herself, Melody Parker, stay calm, now no one can hurt you anymore!

After that, she took a step inside, entering the place she particularly did not want to enter.

The Parker family villa was still cold and empty, without a breath of life.

Melody Parker pushed open the courtyard door, which surprisingly wasn’t locked, nor were there any cleaning servants.

What was going on?

The last time she came, weren’t there still some servants around?

Were they on holiday together?

Thinking about the last time she was here, Melody couldn’t help but recall Phoebe, who acted like a mad dog.

This time, she probably would start biting like last time too.

Melody Parker walked through the courtyard and entered the living room.

The servants of the Parker family were still nowhere to be seen in the living room.

Standing in the living room, where she had lived for eighteen years, Melody’s heart filled with an indescribable sadness again.

She walked slowly and stood beside a marble pillar in the living room.

Her hand gently caressed the pillar’s texture, her dark eyes instantly welled up with tears.

As a child, she had heard that this marble pillar was the one where her mom died.

To save her, her mom had rolled down the stairs holding her.

She was safe and sound, without a scratch.

But her mom hit the pillar, instantly bloodied, and died tragically.

Yet even before drawing her last breath, her mom couldn’t stop thinking about the one who caused her death.

She made Maxwell promise to raise her no matter what.

Mom, how foolish must you have been?

If you hadn’t saved me, you’d have led a happy life, right?

You could have had another or more children, a happy family.

But for me, you completely ended your young life, bidding farewell to this world.

Though she was heartbroken and pained, she understood her mom’s actions.

If she were in her place, she’d do the same, and that’s probably the greatness of a mother.

Tears embedded in Melody Parker’s eyes almost fell.

But at this moment, she heard someone calling her.

"Melody?" A deep voice, carrying an indiscernible tremor, sounded behind her.

Melody Parker turned around, and instantly saw Maxwell Parker, no longer as upright, coming out from the direction of the backyard.

Seeing Melody turn her head, Maxwell spoke in surprise, "Melody, it’s really you, you’ve come back? You’ve truly come back!"

Melody Parker: "..."

She never knew, nor could she understand, how Maxwell, who treated her so harshly since childhood, could act so nostalgic and cherished every time they met.
