Chapter 974 Melody bit her lower lip. Even if the mommy she remembered was a hotâtempered person, she still missed her and hoped that she would come home. âWhatâs wrong, Mel? Why arenât you eating? Is the food not to your liking?â Adeena smiled and asked with a gentle look in her eyes.
The tears almost flowed from Melodyâs eyes.
âMommy wasnât this gentle and soft before⦠Did I really make a mistake?â
âDonât cry.â Adeena promptly wiped her tears. âSince you insist on me being your mommy, then you can call me Mommy. I donât mind.â Melody covered her lips as she cried. She sobbingly said, âCan you give me a hug?â âOf course, I can!â
Adeena reached her arms out and brought the girl into her arms.
This nineâyearâold child was already a big girl, yet she lay against Adeenaâs shoulder and cried her heart out.
Muller, who was close by, quickly took several pictures of them, then he heaved a deep sigh⦠He had served Young Lady Melody for three years, and he had never seen her look so miserable before.
In the eyes of others, the genius pianist Melody Winters was an aloof girl who would neither cry, smile, nor show any unnecessary expressions. Only when she was with her father or her brothers, would she smile a little. But that smiling expression never reached her eyes.
Today, he saw Young Lady Melodyâs wholehearted smile and heard her sobs of grief⦠âCould this woman really be the Mdm. Winters, who disappeared four years ago?â
Muller was about to check the Internet for previous photographs of Mdm. Winters when he saw Melody, who lay on Adeenaâs shoulder, suddenly stop crying. Her aloof eyes were fixed at Adeenaâs back.
Then, she lifted a long strand of hair from the womanâs shoulder and discreetly tucked it into her sleeveâ¦
Muller could not help but approve of the scene in his heart.
âYoung Lady Melody is clever indeed. She even knows to take a hair sample back for a paternity test.
Having a likeness was not irrefutable evidence. Once the maternity test results were out, then everything would be made clear.
âLook at you, crying like a hungry kitten.â Adeena used a napkin to help wipe the girlâs tears away.
âLook at how many fans there are around the restaurant. Everyone might think I was bullying you.â
Melody looked up and solemnly said, âDonât worry, Mommy. Todayâs events will not appear on the news.â With that, she finally began to eat her meal. After they finished their meal, Muller walked over to them respectfully. âYoung Lady Melody. thereâs still half an hour before the flight. We need to get to the airport now.â
Melody stared at Adeena with reluctance all over her face. âMommy, how do I contact you?â
âAdd me on WhatsApp.â
Adeena took out her phone and the two of them added each other on WhatsApp.
Muller led eight other bodyguards to escort Melody out of the restaurant. They bowed as she got into the car, and the car slowly disappeared onto the streets of Cloud City.
At that moment, Adeenaâs heart suddenly felt empty inside.
She did not go to her company, but instead drove back to the Willis familyâs mansion.
As soon as she entered, Ruthâs voice was heard. âDeena, why did you come home empty handed?â
Adeena coolly raised an eyebrow. âWhat was I supposed to bring home?â âHave you forgotten?
Tomorrow is grandmaâs eightieth birthday. Shouldnât you prepare a birthday present?â Ruth said with a wink.
âThe birthday present has already been prepared. Donât worry about it, Ruth.â Adeenaâs face was still indifferent, and Ruthâs provocation did not bother her at all.
In the entire Willis family, if Ruth was said to be secretly trying to exclude her from the family, then Mdm. Willis blatantly disliked this adopted daughter.
