Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 724: Search all over Eland to find Han...

Chapter 724: Chapter 724: Search all over Eland to find Han...

However, because Adrian’s whereabouts were unknown, Melody Parker held them back, saying they would soon return to River City with their father.

But this delay lasted for over a month.

As time went on, Melody Parker could no longer hold them back.

Reluctantly, she finally agreed to let the twins come to Whitehill.

Nevertheless, she still chose not to tell them anything about Adrian, as she didn’t want them to worry like she did.

They were only six years old; they should be living carefree lives under their parents’ protection, not constantly anxious with their parents.

At this moment, the two little ones had already run up to Melody Parker.

Originally, they wanted to just rush over and give Melody Parker a hug.

But remembering that Melody Parker had a little baby in her belly, they stopped just in time and came to a halt in front of her.

Benjamin Parker, with his chubby little face, looked at Melody Parker and said with a smile: "Mommy, we just arrived and heard you were here, so we came over to find you."

As he spoke, Benjamin Parker’s gaze eagerly fell on Melody Parker’s belly.

His obsidian eyes sparkled with anticipation, and he carefully asked, "Mommy, can I touch my little sister?"

Melody Parker smiled.

Ever since he found out she was pregnant, this child insisted that it was a sister in her belly.

He even called Tannis to ask if there was a way to determine the gender of the baby.

When Tannis said it was possible, he then said, "Forget it, let’s wait until mommy gives birth; knowing in advance would ruin the surprise."

Melody Parker shared the same thought as Benjamin, wanting to save this surprise for the moment the child was born, to witness it together with Adrian and the little ones.

So during this period, the checkups were only to ensure the baby’s health, without ever focusing on its gender.

Yet, despite this, Benjamin still insisted that the baby in Melody Parker’s belly was a girl.

He even said he had a dream about a rosy-cheeked little girl who looked just like Melody Parker, chasing after him and calling him brother, so he was certain it was a sister in there.

Looking at the expectant little fellow, Melody Parker nodded, "Of course you can."

Benjamin was thrilled and immediately reached out his little hand, placing it on the bulge of Melody Parker’s belly.

He touched it, then couldn’t help but look toward Daniel, "Brother, come and feel our little sister."

Hearing Benjamin’s call, Daniel immediately came forward and also placed his little hand on Melody Parker’s belly.

Just as Benjamin and Daniel enthusiastically placed their small hands on Melody Parker’s belly, it suddenly moved.

And it was quite a noticeable movement.

Feeling the obvious fetal movement, the light in Melody Parker’s eyes became even softer.

Benjamin joyfully exclaimed, "Mommy, the little sister moved, she’s greeting me!"

Daniel’s face also broke into a smile, and he said with a laugh, "The little sister is really smart, she’s greeting her brother."

"Yes." Melody Parker nodded vigorously, her soft eyes barely concealing her sadness.

This was the first fetal movement of the little life in her womb.

Originally, she thought she would share the first movement with Adrian and the little ones.

But now, Adrian...

Benjamin looked up, just about to say something to Melody Parker, when he saw that undeniable sadness in her gentle gaze.

He frowned in confusion and asked Melody Parker, "Mommy, what’s wrong?"

Melody Parker immediately hid all her sadness, gently rubbed Benjamin’s little head, and said with a smile, "Mommy, like you, is also feeling the baby’s movement for the first time, so..."

Before Melody Parker could finish, Benjamin looked at her belly with starry eyes, overjoyed, "The little sister is so smart! She knows we’re greeting her!"

The mother and children chatted warmly for a while. Afraid that Melody Parker would get tired standing for too long, they all returned to her sleeping quarters together.

They stayed in Melody Parker’s quarters until sunset, but there was still no sign of Adrian. Benjamin asked, "Mommy, where’s daddy? I haven’t seen him for so long."

Melody Parker’s eyes faltered, then she smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you, your daddy went on a business trip."

"Oh." Benjamin nodded.

It had been a month without seeing Adrian; both Benjamin and Daniel missed Adrian a bit.

And more importantly, during this month, they had been in constant contact with mommy but had never seen Adrian, which had already made them suspicious.

Now hearing mommy say this, their suspicions grew deeper.

However, Benjamin and Daniel did not show it.

Benjamin casually continued, "When will daddy be back? My brother and I haven’t seen him for a long time."

Looking at the two little ones, Melody Parker, holding back her pain, continued to tell a well-intentioned lie with a straight face, "Your daddy mentioned having encountered some trouble, so he’s not sure when he can return."

"Oh." Benjamin nodded again, with an unmistakable disappointment on his face, as if he believed what Melody Parker said.

But in fact, upon hearing Melody Parker’s explanation, Benjamin and Daniel’s minds had already arrived at a conclusion, just waiting for confirmation.

After dinner, not wanting to disturb Melody Parker’s rest, Benjamin and Daniel sensibly returned to their own room to rest.

As soon as the two little ones left, Melody Parker immediately called Ralph Carter.

After being brought into Melody Parker’s quarters by the maids, Ralph Carter spoke respectfully, "Princess, you called for me?"

Melody Parker nodded, looking at Ralph Carter, she asked, "Any news from Eland? About Adrian..."

Ralph Carter shook his head, "Not yet."

Though she had already expected such a result, hearing it with her own ears still made Melody Parker’s heart sink.

The panic, fear, and worry about Adrian’s situation that Melody Parker had suppressed for a month all exploded at this moment.

Not finding him after a month, could it really be that Adrian already...

Melody Parker dared not to think further, yet she couldn’t help but think of the worst outcome, which she had never been able to accept.

Because of that conclusion, her face turned instantly pale, and her heart ached to the point of suffocation.

Perhaps affected by Melody Parker’s emotional fluctuations, the baby in her womb suddenly moved at this time.
