Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 366: She Covered Her Face...

The group of four stood in the palace, and Adrian looked at Lisa, purposely feigning ignorance as he asked coldly, "I have come to pay respects to the King of Whitehill, yet the King is avoiding me and sends the Queen instead. Does this mean he looks down on me?"

As he spoke, Adrian naturally emanated an aura of authority, overpowering Lisa’s arrogance, leaving her hesitating to lash out.

Lisa immediately stood up with a smile, maintaining her usual gentle demeanor, "Young Master Davies, hello. You must be new to Whitehill, correct?"

Adrian did not deny it, tacitly acknowledging.

Seeing this, Lisa’s smile broadened, "Then it must be so, Young Master Davies, newly arriving here, naturally wouldn’t know the situation of Whitehill."

Looking at Adrian, Lisa lied without any burden, "The King fell gravely ill few days ago and is now recuperating. All affairs of Whitehill are temporarily managed by me, until the new Crown Prince ascends the throne."

Upon hearing this, Adrian didn’t say much more, seemingly believing Lisa’s words.

He looked at Locke and Patrick Faris, speaking coldly, "Present the gifts brought for the Queen."

"Yes!" The two responded respectfully, stepped forward, placing the boxes on the ground and opened their lids.

Adrian looked at the Queen, speaking coldly, "These are tokens of congratulations for Princess Ellie being appointed Crown Prince. The gifts may not be numerous, but I trust the Queen will be satisfied."

Lisa looked at the opened boxes.

Indeed, the boxes weren’t many—only eight.

Yet each contained rare treasures scarcely seen in Whitehill.

Seeing such precious gifts, Lisa immediately beamed with delight.

Her eyes smiled as she looked at Adrian, speaking politely, "Distinguished guest from afar, thank you for your effort. Our Princess Ellie is honored to receive your congratulations, and I hereby express thanks on behalf of my daughter."

After speaking, she looked at Ellie beside her, instructing, "Take these gifts, and store them carefully."

After directing Ellie, she looked at a maid, "Go invite Princess Ellie over, let her meet the distinguished guest presenting gifts."

The maid received the order and promptly went to fetch Ellie.

At that moment, Ellie had already learned of such a distinguished guest at the palace and had dressed herself lavishly.

When the maid came to invite her, Ellie wasted no time and immediately followed the maid to the palace.

Upon reaching the Council Hall, Ellie instantly saw the tall figure of Adrian.

This man’s silhouette is impressive; I wonder if he himself matches it? Whether he can catch her attention?

Thinking this, Ellie walked forward and paid respects to Lisa, "Ellie greets Mother."

"Hmm." Lisa looked at Ellie softly, introducing, "Ellie, this is Young Master Davies from Country A, he is here specifically to congratulate you on becoming Crown Prince."

Following Lisa’s words, Ellie looked toward Adrian.

With just one glance, she was captivated.

Her eyes involuntarily sparkled, and she stood there, stunned.

What a handsome man!

He has an elongated body, jet-black hair.

The stunningly beautiful face, with eyes as dark as black gemstones, emitted a noble aura, shining like stars in the night sky.

He carried the dominance and ruthlessness of a monarch!

Along with those long slightly curled lashes, exquisite nose... Every part is crafted so marvelously, beguilingly beautiful.

His aura is cold, yet inherently holds a majestic kingly grace.

As if the world had already bowed at his feet, and he had long ascended above all beings!

Heavens! How could such a man exist in this world?

This man is hers!

For only a man like him is worthy of becoming the spouse of Whitehill’s future queen! Worthy to stand side by side with her, managing Whitehill’s future!

At this moment, Ellie firmly resolved that she wanted this man, wanted to make him her consort.

Just imagining having a man like him accompany her to handle the tedious and chaotic court affairs, Ellie’s heart couldn’t help but leap with joy.

She fell in love with this man, at first sight!

He is her love at first sight!

He is her consort!

In an instant, this determined thought took root and blossomed in Ellie’s heart.

While Ellie was entranced by Adrian, Adrian did not look at her.

His gaze coldly fixed on Lisa, correcting her error with a chilly voice, "Queen, coming to congratulate was merely incidental. My reason for coming to Whitehill is something else, more important."

The sudden rebuttal momentarily stunned Lisa.

Hearing Adrian’s cold, characteristic voice, Ellie became even more captivated.

A man with such a pleasing voice must only belong to her!

"Being able to come congratulate me as Crown Prince, whether or not it was incidental, is Young Master Davies’ intention." Ellie gently smiled, walking gracefully towards Adrian.

Ellie’s words broke the awkward atmosphere.

Lisa also smiled, chiming in, "Indeed, Young Master Davies coming to congratulate already signifies your sincerity."

By this time, Ellie had reached Adrian.

She wore what she believed was her most beautiful smile on her face, her admiring eyes fixed on Adrian, extending her alabaster hand as she smiled in self-introduction, "Young Master Davies, hello, pleased to meet you for the first time."

Adrian frowned unhappily, not shaking Ellie’s hand, instead taking Melody Parker and stepping aside, distancing himself from Ellie.

Watching the overly pretentious Ellie, Locke couldn’t help but comment internally.

Hmph, don’t think he can’t see it; this so-called princess most likely fancies their president.

Look at the blatant admiration in her eyes, the undisguised affection.

Ha! Truly shameless!

Just her kind of character couldn’t even compare to a strand of Miss Parker’s hair, and thinks our president would be interested in her?

But grumbling is grumbling; in such a situation, Locke only muttered to himself, never expressing his thoughts aloud.

Not only that, he had to step up to smooth things over.

As Adrian sidestepped with Melody Parker, Locke walked forward, coldly explaining to Ellie, "Sorry, Princess Ellie, our president cannot interact with women due to personal reasons."

Ellie paused, then smiled immediately, "I was presumptuous."

After speaking, Ellie turned away.

The smile on her face instantly turned gloomy; cannot interact with women! What about the one who was constantly beside him, whose hand he held tightly? Didn’t she see it? Haha, isn’t she also a woman? And she covers her face if she can’t face the world?
