Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 781: He Knocks on the Door Again After Getting Drunk...
He waited alone in the car, until Serena Sterling came out of Melody Garden with the little angel again and followed them to Melody Parker’s apartment...
The entire day, except for initially going to the Morris Group and visiting the cemetery, Malcom Moore had been secretly following Serena Sterling.
Even now, after Serena Sterling and the little angel went up to the apartment building, Malcom Moore quietly drove his car to the building.
Seeing the warm lights turn on in the apartment above after Serena Sterling went up, Malcom Moore got out of the car.
He stood in the darkness of the night, standing below the apartment building just a few steps away from her, looking up at the warm lights above, at the place where she was.
Is she not leaving? She’s settling in here, right?
He didn’t see that foreign man come along, so he felt a bit less saddened.
Time ticked by slowly, seemingly passing as long as centuries, before Malcom Moore finally withdrew his gaze and left this place that stirred complex emotions within him.
After leaving the apartment building, Malcom Moore went nowhere else and headed straight to CC Pub.
Having not eaten anything all day, drenched from the rain, he drank glass after glass of spicy, bitter liquor.
The night outside grew deeper, and as Malcom Moore continued pouring drink after drink down his throat, he finally ended up drunk.
Malcom Moore staggered up, left CC Pub, and went straight to the apartment building.
Despite being completely drunk, his mind was exceptionally clear.
Seeing the place he was at, Malcom Moore smiled bitterly.
Haha, why did he come to this place again?
Is he under a spell?
She already has a new family and a child with another man; she’s completely disregarded him!
Why does he still come here, to let her trample over his dignity?
But even so, she has already abandoned him!
So let go, fulfill her already acquired happiness, leave himself with some shred of dignity, and stop disturbing her life!
Yet, even as Malcom Moore thought this, another suppressed voice within him instantly screamed out.
He can’t let her go; she is his!
Today, no matter what, he must see her, even if she truly doesn’t want him anymore; he must make her give him an explanation!
He loves her so much, and she loved him back then; why can she so easily forget him now, treating him like a stranger?
He wants to tear open his heart for her to see, to ask her what he must do to thoroughly forget her, to live without such pain!
Thinking this, Malcom Moore moved his feet.
He went upstairs with the strength of the alcohol and stood before Serena Sterling’s apartment door, starting to knock forcefully.
After confirming Malcom Moore had left, Serena Sterling had returned to bed intending to close her eyes and sleep peacefully.
But for some reason, lying in bed, she couldn’t manage to fall asleep.
The man standing drenched in the rain with a face full of desolate sorrow, stubbornly looking up at the man upstairs, kept appearing uncontrollably in Serena Sterling’s mind.
Serena Sterling repeatedly calmed herself, telling herself again and again that no matter the reason that man was here, it had nothing to do with her.
Moreover, that man had already left.
Under this mindset, Serena Sterling finally fell asleep slowly.
But as Serena Sterling slept, she had a dream, a dream related to Malcom Moore.
In Serena Sterling’s dream, Malcom Moore was still stubbornly standing below the apartment building, not leaving.
Heavy rain poured down; the man drenched, stood nobly under the dim street light.
His expression was desolate, heartbroken, helpless, yet as if looking towards her window, treating it like a treasure, stubbornly looking up at Serena Sterling’s room.
Thunder boomed, and bolt after bolt of lightning cut across the sky, Serena Sterling stood at the window looking at the man below, unable to help but curse aloud, "That bastard, is he trying to get himself killed? Standing under a streetlight in such thunderstorm weather, waiting to be struck by lightning?"
Serena Sterling cursed under her breath while looking out the window at the weather, at the foolish man standing under the dim streetlight, and the lightning and thunder...
Finally, as Serena Sterling cursed, a loud roar sounded, and a lightning bolt as thick as a wrist struck directly at the streetlight where the man stood...
"No!" With a startled scream, Serena Sterling sat up from the bed.
Awakened from the nightmare, Serena Sterling wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, laughing self-mockingly, "Haha, so it was just a dream!"
Then Serena Sterling’s gaze softened as she looked at the little angel sleeping beside her.
After ensuring the little angel was still sleeping sweetly, not awakened by her, Serena Sterling lay back down.
With her eyes closed, it wasn’t long before Serena Sterling fell into a muddled sleep again.
But at that moment, she heard the sound of knocking.
Serena Sterling opened her blurry eyes and listened to the knocking sound, suspiciously knitting her brows.
She didn’t know who it was that came, why anyone would be knocking so late?
She put on her clothes and got out of bed, walked to the living room, and asked softly, "Who is it? What business do you have so late?"
No one answered Serena Sterling’s question, but the knocking continued, getting louder with each knock.
Serena Sterling approached the door, looking through the peephole, vaguely seeing dark, wet short hair, and a trail of water outside, evidently dripping down from someone’s body. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Evidently, the source of the water outside was the man knocking on the door.
At that moment, the man knocking on the door seemed to press against the door for some reason, preventing Serena Sterling from seeing his true face.
Without hesitation, a man’s name instantly appeared in Serena Sterling’s mind.
Serena Sterling frowned.
Did he not leave already?
What does he want to do in the middle of the night?
Serena Sterling doesn’t want to deal with the man outside the door, late at night, regardless of what he wants, she doesn’t want any involvement with him.
But the man kept knocking persistently, Serena Sterling feared waking the little angel and worried his actions might disturb the neighbors.
"Whoever you are, knocking at this time is disturbing the peace; I advise you to leave quickly, or I’ll call the police!" Serena Sterling said coldly through the door to the man standing outside.
"Open the door!" A self-mocking laugh sounded from outside, the knocking paused, but the man didn’t leave.
