Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 367 She is My Wife...

Ellie walked over to Queen Lisa, putting away the gloom on her face, and obediently spoke, "Mother."

"Hmm." Lisa smiled, looking at the seat beside her, "Sit down."

Ellie sat.

Lisa looked at Adrian Davies and asked in a casual tone, "Is Young Master Davies from River City?"

Lisa glanced to Adrian Davies’ side, curiously inquiring, "I wonder, this person is...?"

This was a question that concerned Lisa, and it especially concerned Ellie.

Upon entering this cold, suffocating palace, Melody Parker’s hand began to tremble slightly.

Her hand trembled more noticeably upon hearing Lisa’s voice.

Fortunately, Adrian was there.

His large hand was tightly holding her small hand, preventing her from exposing more of her emotions.

At this moment, with Lisa’s question, Melody could clearly feel Lisa’s gaze on her.

Her little hand trembled even more.

Was she looking at her?

This woman who killed her mom’s family, who drove her mom away, was looking at her, right?

At this moment, Melody truly wished her eyes could see, she wanted to see what kind of face this woman who hurt her mother that much had?

She wanted to uncover the veil on her face and see what expression this woman would have upon seeing her face, which resembled her mom’s?

Fear?

Or perhaps remorse?

She wanted to ask her whether over the years her mom’s deceased family had been haunting her day and night, had startled her awake in the middle of the night?

But she was blind now; she couldn’t see.

And she couldn’t expose her identity at present.

Perceiving Melody’s oddness, Adrian tightened his grip on her small hand, using his actions to tell her that he was right by her side.

At the same time, he looked at her gently, warmly smiling and said, "This is my wife."

Ellie gazed in fascination at Adrian, forgetting everything in the world.

He laughed?

He actually laughed!

His laughter was so gentle, with such charm, it seemed it could melt everything in this world, cleanse a person’s heart, purify one’s soul.

Wait, what did he just say?

He said that woman is his wife?

He actually has a wife?

How can this be, how can he marry someone else, he is her consort!

Ellie glared fiercely at Melody Parker, her intense gaze seemed as if to rip Melody apart.

Humph! Even if he has a wife, so what?

She is the Crown Prince of Whitehill, the future queen.

The man she sets her sights on must be hers only!

As for the bothersome woman beside him, she would kill her!

With her gone, he would have no wife and could become exclusively hers...

Born with a silver spoon, Ellie was arrogant from a young age.

Because of her name Ellie, and as Lisa’s first daughter with Muir, Ellie was spoiled to no end from childhood by Lisa, learning nothing.

She neither inherited Lisa’s wisdom, nor Lisa’s strategic mind.

But there was one thing she did learn very vividly, that was being just as vicious as Lisa, using any means to achieve goals, she was a copy of Lisa.

"Oh, so this is Young Master Davies’ wife," Lisa looked at Melody Parker suspiciously and inquired, "I wonder why Young Master Davies’ wife covers her face?"

Adrian looked at Lisa, taking away the warmth reserved only for Melody, and coldly said, "My wife is not well and must cover her face with a thin veil."

Ellie furiously thought: unwell? I bet it’s because she’s hideous and can’t face people!

Lisa, however, lightly laughed, "So that’s the reason."

As she spoke, she looked at Ellie beside her, warmly advising, "Ellie, since Young Master Davies’ wife isn’t well and came along to celebrate, you must certainly treat them well!"

Knowing her daughter, Lisa knew all too well.

From the first glance when Ellie entered the palace and saw Adrian, Lisa knew her daughter had taken a liking to this man.

A man like that, having him as a son-in-law would naturally be good.

If Ellie could capture his heart, she would gladly see it happen.

Yet the man before them was already married, and seemingly deeply in love with his wife.

Moreover, more importantly, he came across as someone not easy to deal with.

To retain him personally and emotionally, it would be best done gradually.

Firstly, allowing Ellie to get close to his woman, then discreetly eliminating that troublesome woman, soothing him in his moment of grief, with Ellie’s beauty she would surely win over this man, winning his heart...

Ellie confusedly looked at Lisa, unable to understand why her mother wanted her to cater to that vile woman.

However, before Ellie could voice anything, Lisa again looked at Adrian, smilingly saying, "Young Master Davies visited for the Eldest Princess, even if the King is unwell, I cannot be impolite to you. If you have time today, would you stay in the palace for a meal?"

Adrian looked at Locke.

Locke spoke respectfully, "President, your schedule is quite open these two days."

Upon hearing this, Lisa laughed heartily, "That’s great, then Young Master Davies should stay in the palace these days so I can properly host you on behalf of the King."

Adrian thought for a moment, then nodded, "As the host wishes."

The reason for visiting the palace was for Adrian to have Lisa ask him to stay.

Only like this could he more easily probe the situation in the palace and search for Tannis’ whereabouts; treating Melody’s eyes was key.

Seeing Adrian agree, Lisa immediately smiled and instructed Ellie, "Ellie, lead Young Master Davies to rest."

"Yes!" Ellie responded, looking at Adrian, "Honored guest, please follow me."

When Adrian and his group had left, Ellie immediately inquired uncomprehendingly, "Mother, I like Young Master Davies, can’t you see? I could kill that vile woman with the title of wife right now, why are you asking me to treat that vile woman well?"

"Silly child!" Lisa affectionately smiled and slowly spoke, "How could your mother not know her daughter’s thoughts? It’s precisely because I know, that I want you to become good friends with Young Master Davies’ wife."

Lisa held Ellie’s hand, gently patting it, speaking meaningfully, "If my daughter becomes best friends with that woman, that would be even better."

Ellie was even more puzzled by Lisa’s words.

She furrowed her brows, looking at Lisa, "Mother, what do you really mean by these words?"

Lisa chuckled, softly saying, "Good things everyone wants, but the better something is, the harder it is to obtain."
