Chapter 25: From the time you drove us, a helpless mother and child, away 4 years ago, I no longer had a father!

Chapter 25: Chapter 25: From the time you drove us, a helpless mother and child, away 4 years ago, I no longer had a father!

Soon, a new text message came in.

[It’s my failure to handle the matter well!]

Benjamin Parker’s face was icy cold as he gave an order.

[Find out who did this immediately, no mercy!]

Another message arrived, with just a single word.

[Yes!]

Benjamin Parker turned off his phone, his dark eyes narrowing coldly: Anyone who dared to harm his Melody was courting death!

The person sending messages to Benjamin was none other than the tall man in black who emerged last night.

His name was Barrett Carter, a mixed-race individual of European and American descent.

Not only was he tall and handsome, but he was also exceptionally skilled in martial arts and rarely met an opponent who could challenge him.

It was precisely because of Barrett Carter’s skills that Benjamin spent a billion to buy him from a Mexican underworld boss to be the bodyguard for him and his mother.

These past two years, Barrett Carter had protected Melody Parker and Benjamin Parker countless times, shielding them from all harm.

Initially, Barrett Carter protected Melody Parker and Benjamin Parker only because Benjamin had bought him from the crime boss.

Protecting the mother and son was his duty.

But when he realized one day that Benjamin was just a five-year-old boy, he never thought of changing masters again.

Melody Parker was quite popular in Europe, so it was inevitable that people with ill intentions would try to harm her.

But because of Barrett Carter’s presence, every situation was turned into safety, allowing them to pass through unscathed.

Over the past two years, in Barrett Carter’s heart, protecting Melody Parker and Benjamin Parker had become a mission integrated into his bones, a fate he was willing to accept for the rest of his life, even if it meant sacrificing his life.

No matter who the opponent was, he couldn’t allow the mother and son to be harmed in the slightest.

Last night, the only reason the little thief managed to sneak in and found an opportunity was because Melody Parker had just arrived in River City shortly before, not having had time to make enemies yet, which led to him being lax in defense.

He had already reacted at the first moment the shadow climbed in, arranging the blanket on Melody Parker’s bed to look like someone was sleeping there, confusing the little thief. But the thief still managed to enter Melody Parker’s room and attempted to shoot her.

If Melody Parker had really been in her room, although he was confident in his ability to ensure her safety, it would have been inevitable to scare her.

...

After sending Benjamin to school, Melody Parker planned to invite Serena Sterling out for a drink.

At that moment, her phone rang.

With a perfect sense of timing, Serena Sterling called her.

Melody Parker smiled and slid her phone to answer.

"Melody, I know you’re off today. Hurry over to Uptown Café on North Street, I’m waiting for you here."

Hearing Serena Sterling’s enthusiastic voice, Melody Parker smiled and agreed, "Alright, I’ll be right there."

Hanging up the phone, Melody Parker turned to leave.

But just then, she saw a man, a man staring at her in a daze.

The man was none other than the father she didn’t want to see but who was linked to her by blood—Maxwell Parker.

Upon seeing her gaze, Maxwell seemed a bit eager, opening the car door and getting out.

He couldn’t stop himself from trembling as he walked towards Melody Parker, "Melody, is it really you?"

Melody Parker’s cold eyes looked at Maxwell, at the father she hadn’t seen for four years.

His hair had turned much whiter, and his cloudy eyes held an indescribable sense of desolation...

He didn’t seem to be doing well at all!

Melody Parker didn’t understand why the once dashing Maxwell turned out like this.

Of course, she wasn’t interested and didn’t want to know.

Melody Parker took a few steps forward, approaching Maxwell.

She gave a detached smile and spoke coldly, "Hello Mr. Parker, I am Melody Parker!"

Maxwell’s whole body trembled, his face stiffened, and he looked at Melody Parker in disbelief, muttering, "Melody, what did you call me? You...you’ve come back, why didn’t you come home?"

"Go home?" Melody Parker sneered, her cold eyes looking at Maxwell coldly as she asked, "Mr. Parker, tell me, where is my home? Do I even have a home?"

Maxwell: "..."

"Haha..." Melody Parker let out a cold laugh and continued, "I don’t have a home. From the moment four years ago when my mother and I were kicked out by you, I’ve never had a home! And from that moment on, I didn’t have a father either!"

After speaking, Melody Parker lifted her foot to leave.

But at that moment, a pair of trembling hands grabbed her tightly.

"Melody, it’s all my fault, I’m sorry, but your father also had his reasons, can’t you please listen to my explanation?"

Melody Parker looked coldly at the trembling big hand that was holding hers.

It was these hands that four years ago she longed for so much, longed for them to give her warmth.

But what was the outcome!

She hadn’t felt a bit of warmth from these hands; she hadn’t even seen the owner of these hands before being kicked out.

"Melody, at the time it wasn’t your father who wanted to drive you away. By the time your father knew, you were already... Melody, now that you’re back, please come home, come home with your father, okay?"

Melody Parker laughed, a laugh full of sarcasm.

He didn’t know?

As the head of the family, he didn’t know his daughter had been kicked out of the house, into a foreign land?

Even if he didn’t know at the time, what about afterward?

What was he doing then?

Not only did he not find her and bring her back, but he also let her fend for herself, never providing her with any financial means to survive.

Melody Parker withdrew her hand, "I’m sorry, Mr. Parker, I don’t need it anymore! Four years ago, I couldn’t get it, and four years later, I don’t need it, not at all!"

With that, Melody Parker lifted her foot and left, not turning back as Maxwell stood there in a daze.

Maxwell came to his senses, stumbling as he chased after her, "Melody, listen to me..."

Melody Parker hailed a taxi and got in directly.

The taxi sped away, leaving Maxwell’s words cut off behind them.

"Melody, Melody!..." Maxwell called her name to the car disappearing into the distance, trembling all over, heartbroken, and tearful.

Seeing this, the driver got off the car and supported Maxwell, "Sir, let’s not watch anymore, let’s go."

...

Melody Parker walked into Uptown Café and immediately saw Serena Sterling sitting at the window.

Of course, Serena Sterling also saw her.

"Melody, over here!"

Melody Parker didn’t slow her steps, walking directly over to Serena Sterling, "Have you been waiting long? I ran into an acquaintance on the way and got delayed a bit."

Serena Sterling smiled, "No problem, no problem at all, I’m happy to wait for my Melody."

"Flatterer!" Melody Parker laughed, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

While Melody Parker and Serena Sterling chatted and laughed, Uptown Café welcomed new guests—Ava Parker and her assistant Avril.
