The person he desires will always belong to him!
Melody had already run far, but Adrian Davies’s body was still filled with the fragrance she left behind.
Not only that, Adrian Davies’s certain part had already reacted strongly at some unknown moment, and now it was prominently raising his well-tailored trousers...
Therefore, he couldn’t chase after her, couldn’t capture her back, and could only sit there awkwardly.
His ailment was cured!
His longing for this woman was not only emotional but physical as well! He yearned to touch her, kiss her, possess her deeply!
He knew clearly that his ailment could only be cured in front of this woman!
She was his only salvation.
No matter who she used to be, or what experiences she had, he would not let her go.
From this moment on, he would make her his, Adrian Davies’s woman.
However, in over twenty years, he had never been in a relationship with any woman, nor did he know what love really was.
Previously he didn’t know, nor could he understand the love others spoke of.
Now he seemed to understand a bit.
Perhaps his current state is what it looks like to like a woman.
She was someone who responded better to gentleness than force. Good, very good, incredibly good!
Adrian Davies held down his wildly beating heart, the smile at the corner of his lips growing wider, eventually chuckling aloud.
Staring in the direction where the woman disappeared, Adrian Davies touched the mark she left on his lips, his usually cold and unfeeling eyes filled with tenderness.
At this moment, Adrian Davies was no longer the icy CEO he used to be, but rather a young boy experiencing the initial taste of love, silly and infatuated.
Thankfully, Ned Faris and Patrick Faris were not here at this time, if they were, seeing Adrian Davies like this, they would likely think they were sleepwalking or had traveled to outer space.
In any case, they would absolutely not believe it.
Because how could their cold and unfeeling CEO possibly smile?
Even if he could smile, how could he smile like an innocent child, or more accurately, like a fool?
Their CEO’s smile, if it existed, should be cold, unfeeling, intimidating, pushing people away.
Tenderness had nothing to do with their CEO.
...
Adrian Davies sat quietly, letting the gentle breeze disperse the heat inside the car.
After a good ten minutes, he returned to his usual cold self, drove away, heading directly for the company.
Meanwhile, Melody Parker, after receiving a call from Serena Sterling, soon met up with her and signed the official contract with the Heavenly Rule Group, becoming the exclusive model for "Encounter".
With the contract signed, Oliver Nash ordered everyone in the design department to immediately produce samples and create the deluxe edition.
Because their timeline was tight, before the upcoming trade show next month, Melody Parker had to walk the runway in the "Encounter" series in front of the media.
Regarding overtime, as the chief designer for "Encounter", Serena Sterling had no complaints at all.
Moreover, as this was Serena Sterling’s first time as chief designer, seeing her designs soon to be showcased to the public, she was so happy she wished she could work overtime twenty-four hours a day...
Not only that, but she had finally moved on from the sorrow of losing her father; she needed to live well, to take care of her mother.
Time passed quickly; Melody Parker had been back in the country for a while now.
Due to her collaboration with the Davies Clan, Melody Parker had made a significant impact in River City, and her reputation domestically was gradually rising.
It had been a week since signing with Heavenly Rule Group. On top of the work Loren Fisher arranged for her, Melody Parker had been busy over the past week with various shoots and appearances.
Yet despite her busy life, Melody Parker couldn’t conceal the transformation within her.
Yes, she had changed.
Ever since the deep kiss with Adrian Davies that day, she had changed, experiencing a significant internal shift.
No longer was it calm and tranquil, undisturbed by the wind.
She didn’t understand why she kissed him for so long?
Why did that kiss and that person frequently enter her thoughts?
Why did the memory of that kiss make her heart race uncontrollably?
This was unlike anything she had experienced in her twenty-three years of life!
Not even when she was with Neal Galan!
How did she let him kiss her? Again and again, nearly losing herself in that kiss?!
He was her brother-in-law, the fiancé of Ava Parker!
The night in River City was slightly chilly as Melody Parker stood on the balcony, feeling the cool night breeze and her chaotic thoughts.
The ringing phone interrupted Melody Parker’s turbulent thoughts.
She turned to pick up the phone, her eyes widening at the caller ID.
"..." Melody Parker watched the phone ring continuously before slowly answering it.
Upon connection, a familiar man’s voice came through, "Melody, you finally answered my call."
Melody Parker was at a loss for words and directly asked, "Neal, is there something you need calling so late?"
"Nothing special," Neal Galan’s voice was calm and gentle, tinged with a unique tone, "Melody, you’ve been out of touch for over a month. I’ve missed you and little one."
Melody Parker chuckled softly, "Neal, I told you, I returned to River City."
Neal Galan responded, "I know, but Melody, even if you returned to River City, you didn’t have to lose contact with me, right?"
Melody Parker: What does he mean by losing contact? She just missed a few of his calls.
When he called, she had been busy.
When she wasn’t busy, she didn’t return his call.
That hardly constitutes losing contact, does it?
Seeing that Melody Parker remained silent, Neal Galan continued to ask, "Melody, when do you plan to come back?"
Melody Parker: "Neal, my work here isn’t over yet, and I plan to stay for a while, probably not returning to Fland anytime soon."
"..." Neal Galan was silent for two seconds, then directly announced, "Alright, I’ll come back to join you."
Melody Parker declined, "No need, Neal. Little one and I are doing well. Don’t worry, focus on your work in Fland."
"Melody, your rejection hurts me. Don’t you know that without you and little one by my side, I feel very unsettled?"
Neal Galan’s voice was low, filled with a faint sadness that made Melody Parker’s heart tremble.
However, she didn’t show it at all.
"Ha ha..." Melody Parker chuckled softly, teasingly saying, "Neal, stop joking!"
After speaking, without waiting for Neal Galan to respond, Melody Parker continued seriously, "Neal, everything here is fine, really fine! Don’t worry about me, just focus on your own things."
