Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 372: He still wants to experience the world’s splendor with her...
Locke immediately stopped in his tracks.
Adrian looked at Locke and spoke coldly, "Be careful not to let Lisa’s people find out."
"Yes, Boss." Locke accepted the order and turned to leave.
After Locke left, Adrian returned to Melody Parker’s side, gently drawing her into his embrace, and spoke softly, "Melody, don’t worry, I will find Tannis, and your eyes will certainly see again."
Melody Parker smiled, comforting the man in return, "Adrian, you don’t need to worry too much. It’s alright even if I can’t see."
Having left that suffocating place, Melody now found herself able to calm down.
Although thinking about her mother still pained her, recalling the woman in the palace made her want to deal with her immediately, and thinking about her biological father made her want to confront him face to face, she was no longer so agitated and lost, no longer at a loss...
Recalling what Adrian had told her about Muir, Melody looked up in his direction, "Adrian, go find someone to save my father, I must see him."
The reason Adrian didn’t allow Melody to see Muir while in the palace was that Muir was under house arrest, and bringing Melody there would surely cause unnecessary trouble.
His thoughts remained the same now.
Until Melody’s eyes healed, he didn’t advise her to meet Muir.
Holding Melody close, he kissed the top of her head and spoke gently, "Darling, I don’t recommend meeting Muir now. The timing isn’t right; I want you to recover your sight first, so he won’t be pained for you. Moreover, you’ll handle many things better with your sight restored."
Melody nodded, "Alright, I’ll listen to you."
Indeed, there were many inconveniences with her current blindness.
Moreover, Adrian understood her well, knowing that things were better handled by her own hand.
Unable to see, she couldn’t witness her father’s remorse, couldn’t know if he loved her mother as her mother did him, couldn’t personally deal with that vile woman to avenge her mother...
In the hotel, Adrian stayed by Melody’s side without leaving.
He accompanied her at meals, during conversations, even though doing the most mundane things, they never felt boring to him because it was with her.
Like every couple, they interacted quietly, peacefully, yet with deep affection, waiting for Locke’s news together...
Because Melody hadn’t slept all night due to the complicated emotions in the palace, after breakfast, Adrian put her to bed.
He wrapped his arms around her slender waist, kissed her thin face, and spoke with heartache, "Melody, you’ve suffered."
Melody shook her head, reaching out to touch Adrian’s equally gaunt face, "Adrian, I don’t feel I’ve suffered, nor have you ever made me suffer."
Adrian looked deeply at Melody, focusing on her dim eyes, "Melody, you will see again, definitely!"
He kissed her lips again as he spoke.
Melody smiled, speaking as if coaxing a child, "Hmm, I know, I will certainly see again."
This man was more anxious than she was.
Since their reunion, he repeatedly assured her, fearing she would be sad and troubled by her blindness.
Initially, when she discovered her blindness, she was terrified and anxious.
But now she was well accustomed to it, and even if she couldn’t recover her sight, she could accept it.
Somehow, Melody suddenly felt the urge to tease the man.
She reached out to wrap her arms around Adrian’s strong waist, looked in his direction, and pouted, "What? If my eyes can’t see, will you not want me anymore?"
Adrian looked at the woman seriously and without a second thought hurriedly replied, "How could that be? Even if, I mean even if, you really can’t see again, I will never let go of your hand. You are the woman I, Adrian Davies, have chosen, whether you can see or not, you’re the only wife I acknowledge in this life!"
If someday you couldn’t see, I’d give you my eyes; I wouldn’t let you be blind!
Adrian didn’t voice this, but with a pained look, he gazed at the woman in his embrace.
He wished he could give her the best the world had to offer, to see the world’s splendor together with her.
Though unable to see, Melody could tell from listening how anxious Adrian was.
He was truly afraid she would misunderstand his desire for her to see again.
Melody burst into laughter.
Still holding her head up, she pouted and said, "Who’s your wife? I haven’t agreed to marry..."
From the moment Melody laughed, Adrian knew she was teasing him.
Seeing her cute pouting red lips, Adrian acted on his instinct, leaning in to seal her lips, swallowing all her unfinished words...
A deep kiss ignited the man’s passion, and his body reacted uncontrollably.
In this short time, in search of her, his mind was weary.
Yet seeing her now blind, he couldn’t even bring himself to think of such matters, but now his whole being was calling out for her.
He wanted to devour her whole, and he kissed her forcefully.
Melody’s cheeks flushed red.
She pushed against his burning chest, distancing herself from the scorching, daunting presence that threatened her, while blushing, she said, "At this time, how can you even think about that?"
"Melody, you’re turning the tables. You clearly were the one seducing me first." Adrian’s voice was husky, gentle.
Melody blushed even more.
"Who, who seduced you?!"
She only wanted to tease him, lighten the mood; she didn’t mean for him to...
"Alright, you didn’t seduce me, but it’s not my fault either. Melody, this is a natural reaction, a natural reaction only triggered when I’m with you." Adrian explained good-naturedly, with shamelessness.
Having said that, he gave Melody no time to react, sealing her lips once more.
His kisses were passionate, moving from her lips downward...
His large hands seemed magical, kindling a fire all over her body...
It didn’t take long for Melody’s senses to be overwhelmed, forgetting all about the world.
However, at the critical moment, when she thought he would advance further, he suddenly halted.
Bending close to her ear, using a voice like one being ground on sand, hoarse beyond recognition, he whispered, "Melody, I’ll spare you today, but once you’re better, I’ll properly deal with you."
With that, he lightly bit her lip, forced himself to restrain, and finally rolled off her.
