Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 481 Muir Discovers Something Is Wrong…
Seeing Melody Parker, Muir immediately smiled and said, "My daughter has returned?"
As he spoke, he walked over to Melody Parker, hugged her tightly, and unbelievingly said, "This isn’t a dream, is it? My daughter has really come back?"
Melody Parker let Muir hold her, responding expressionlessly, "Dad, I have returned."
"Yes, yes." Muir’s old eyes suddenly filled with mist.
He released Melody from his embrace, looking at her with relief, "It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back."
After saying this, he looked at Melody with excitement and said, "Melody, I have already found your destined fate, and they will soon come to Whitehill to marry you."
Afraid that Melody might decisively refuse as before, Muir quickly added, "Melody, don’t rush to refuse Dad just yet, listen to what Dad has to say first."
Melody nodded.
Muir continued, "Dad knows you like Adrian, but Adrian is not your destined fate, forcing you to be with him will not make you happy. Moreover, if you don’t unite with your fate, there will not be a new Princess Butterfly or Prince Butterfly in Whitehill, and the whole Whitehill will face a catastrophic disaster..."
After saying these things, Muir, looking helpless and hopeful, said, "Melody, can you understand Dad? It’s not Dad’s selfishness, it’s just that... as a father, I don’t want you to repeat the mistakes your mom and I made, unable to find happiness throughout life. As a king, I can’t watch my subjects suffer a great calamity."
Melody stared blankly at Muir, without much response.
Muir continued, "Melody, Whitehill will eventually be handed over to you, and you will become the king of Whitehill in the future. Dad hopes you can enjoy a happy life and also take on this responsibility for Dad and Mom, protecting the people of Whitehill."
Melody nodded, "Yes, Dad."
Muir was startled, then, realizing what he had heard, grabbed Melody’s hand with great joy and asked excitedly, "Melody, is that true? You really agreed?"
Melody nodded again, "Yes, I agreed."
Muir was immensely relieved.
He patted Melody’s hand, repeatedly praising, "Good, good, it’s good that you came around."
Not waiting for Melody to speak, he continued with pride, "Truly my good daughter, the Princess Butterfly of Whitehill, full of responsibility and duty!"
Melody didn’t have much of a reaction, looking at Muir, she said, "Dad, I want to see the treasure, give me the Butterfly Jade Pendant."
Hearing Melody’s words, Muir’s face lit up even more with joy.
Originally, he thought Melody just agreed to accept her destined fate and marry her fate, but as for taking over Whitehill, he hadn’t dared to think about it yet, assuming it would take more time.
But now Melody brought up the treasure, is she planning to open it and take over Whitehill?
Muir looked at Melody, asking uncertainly, "Melody, do you agree to open the treasure and inherit the position of Crown Prince of Whitehill?"
Melody nodded.
Muir couldn’t contain his joy, "Good, very good. I will immediately draft an imperial decree, announcing your position as Crown Prince. However, we must wait a while to open the treasure. Melody, you may not yet know that to open the treasure, besides the Princess Butterfly and the Butterfly Jade Pendant, you also need to wait for your fate..."
Melody didn’t care about the position of Crown Prince, her purpose for coming here was to get the Butterfly Jade Pendant.
This was also an order from Virgil Davies that she must complete.
Hearing Muir’s words, Melody immediately frowned displeasedly.
She looked at Muir and bluntly said, "Dad, there’s no need to wait for fate to appear, I want to open the treasure directly, give me the Butterfly Jade Pendant now."
Muir, "Not waiting for fate?"
Melody nodded coldly, "Not waiting."
Muir: "..."
Looking at Melody in front of him, Muir suddenly had a strange feeling, as if the girl standing in front of him wasn’t his daughter.
No, he was sure she was his daughter.
It’s just that the daughter now seems different from the one in the past, giving him a very different feeling overall.
Earlier, he was simply happy about her return and her agreement to accept her fate... so he overlooked some details, now he noticed the differences.
The Melody now standing in front of him had hollow eyes and a cold demeanor.
In the past, when he mentioned accepting fate and taking over Whitehill to Melody, he remembered clearly: Melody was very resolute then, saying she wouldn’t believe in fate, only in human will, and she definitely wouldn’t become the Crown Prince of Whitehill.
But this time, Melody easily agreed to be with her fated one, and even proposed opening the treasure and taking over the position of Crown Prince of Whitehill.
No, Melody seemed to have been focused solely on the treasure since her return.
Muir had his doubts, but didn’t voice them.
Not wanting to ruin Melody’s mood, he nodded in agreement, "Alright, I’ll prepare everything tomorrow morning. The treasure can only be opened at noon when the sun is at its peak, I’ll personally take you there then..."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Melody and gently advised, "Melody, you must be tired from your long journey back, go back to your palace and rest. When everything is ready tomorrow, I’ll give you the Butterfly Jade Pendant and take you to open the treasure."
Melody nodded, turned around, and left Muir’s hall to go back to her palace and rest...
Watching Melody’s departing figure, Muir immediately made a phone call.
Shortly thereafter, Ralph Carter, dressed in black, walked in.
He stood before Muir and respectfully spoke, "King."
Muir looked at Ralph Carter and directly asked, "What has happened recently with Melody? Why does she seem so strange and cold this time on her return?"
Ralph Carter previously received Muir’s orders, apart from finding Melody’s fate, he was to follow Melody and ensure her safety.
Now, Melody’s fate, Neal Galan, had been investigated downstairs.
Staying by Melody’s side and protecting her safety, he had always been doing.
But due to matters concerning the fate, and something happened on that side which he had to personally manage, he left the princess for a while.
And this period was exactly when the princess traveled to Colorado, then rushed to Whitehill.
So regarding the incidents that happened to the princess during that time, Ralph Carter didn’t have a detailed account.
Ralph Carter looked at Muir and truthfully narrated everything he knew about the situation.
