Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting
Chapter 30: This time, no matter what, you must marry the Sterling family’s daughter as your wife!

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: This time, no matter what, you must marry the Sterling family’s daughter as your wife!

However, he has always been responsible for all the projects of Morris Entertainment. As for Morris Real Estate, since it has always been managed by his father, he never asked much about it.

Unexpectedly, though, the chief engineer actually died.

But since the person has passed away, it’s a situation that can’t be helped.

"I didn’t expect this," Malcom Moore looked at Charles Moore’s face filled with grief and continued, "Dad, people can’t come back to life after death, so don’t be too upset. Since the chief engineer had an accident while working for Morris, Morris should compensate his family..."

"He died to save me!"

Charles Moore interrupted Malcom, his voice deep and full of guilt, "Malcom, if it wasn’t for Engineer Sterling, the person crushed under the floor would have been me, and the one who died would have been me—your father!"

Malcom was utterly shocked. He never imagined that Engineer Sterling would die to save his father.

Charles Moore wiped the tears trickling down from his eyes and looked at Malcom determinedly, "Malcom, Engineer Sterling passed away while saving me. Before he died, he entrusted his wife and daughter to me. I cannot let him down! His daughter is 23 years old this year and is a very good girl. You’re not getting any younger either; maybe it’s time to settle down."

Looking at his father’s solemn expression and hearing his words, an ominous thought suddenly arose in Malcom’s mind.

Sure enough, Charles Moore’s following words confirmed Malcom’s ominous suspicion.

"Malcom, Dad wants you to marry Engineer Sterling’s daughter, take good care of her, and love her for life, to repay Engineer Sterling’s life-saving kindness!"

"No way, I don’t agree!" Malcom shouted in refusal, arguing, "Dad, we’re in a different era now! Are you still thinking to repay kindness in such a way? You appreciate Engineer Sterling for saving you, and I’m grateful to him too, grateful he saved my father. But Dad, no matter how grateful you are or how much you want to fulfill Engineer Sterling’s last wish, you can’t trade your son’s happiness for the rest of his life! We can give them money, give them lots and lots, enough for a lifetime, we can also..."

"Shut up!" Malcom’s words were cut off by his father’s roar.

Malcom: "..."

"Malcom, no matter how much money we have, we can’t repay the kindness of saving a life! That’s a profound grace that can never be resolved with money. Malcom, have you ever thought, if not for Engineer Sterling, if he hadn’t pushed me away, where would I be right now?"

Without waiting for Malcom’s response, Charles continued, "I wouldn’t be standing in front of you, wouldn’t have any chance to communicate with you! I would be dead, lying in a cold coffin!"

Malcom was speechless. He was very thankful to Engineer Sterling, but this gratitude shouldn’t ruin his marriage and destroy the budding love he hasn’t yet experienced!

What kind of wife would he marry?

He hadn’t even met her, yet he was asked to marry her!

Charles looked at Malcom, leaving no room for negotiation, and said decisively, "Malcom, this time, no matter what, you must listen to Dad and marry the daughter of the Sterling family."

Malcom opened his mouth, wanting to say something more.

But Charles did not give him a chance to speak, "This matter is settled, there’s no need to discuss it further!"

Saying that Charles waved his hand, "Alright, you should leave now."

Malcom looked at his father, whose face was filled with sadness and pain, and said nothing more, pushing open the door and leaving.

...

At Serena Sterling’s father’s funeral, Melody Parker accompanied them throughout.

Malcom Moore accompanied his father and came to pay respects together.

Although he resented sacrificing his marriage to repay a kindness, he was genuinely grateful to Engineer Sterling who saved his father’s life.

He put away his usual carefree demeanor, dressed in black attire, walked up to Lori Sterling’s memorial, bowed deeply, and offered incense.

After bowing and offering incense, Malcom stepped aside and glanced at Victoria, who had been kneeling on the ground since before he entered, crying heart-wrenchingly as if she would faint any moment from grief.

Beside her knelt a small girl, hugging her tightly and comforting her softly.

This girl was Engineer Sterling’s daughter whom Dad asked him to marry—Serena Sterling.

His relationship with her was suddenly entangled, and he was suddenly expected to marry her due to the so-called repayment of kindness; he should have been resistant to her.

Even if not resistant, his feelings towards her should be sympathy, pity at most.

But why? Seeing her cry kneeling like that, his heart felt an inexplicable stab of pain.

Watching Serena Sterling in such a state, Malcom suddenly felt deeply guilty and suddenly had the thought, ’Forget it, simply follow Dad’s arrangement and marry her.’

Malcom’s steps moved forward uncontrollably, extending a hand to lift Serena Sterling from the ground.

"Miss Sterling, your father is gone; you and your mother must restrain your grief!"

Malcom held Serena’s arm, preventing her from falling back to the ground, then solemnly promised, "Miss Sterling, as long as my family, the Morris family, is around, there will also be your Sterling family. I will take my father’s place and care for you and your mother’s future life."

Serena Sterling, dazed and tearful, looked at her mother beside her and her father’s memorial.

At this moment, she had lost her soul, like a marionette, immersed in the pain of losing her father.

Besides crying, she had lost all her instincts.

She could hear nothing from the world, see no one else besides her father’s memorial.

Looking at such a Serena, Malcom felt a sharp pain in his heart and then said, "Uncle Sterling died to save my father, and I will represent my father to send off your father!"

After saying this, Malcom picked up the mourning clothes from the ground and put them on, then knelt down, burning paper in tribute to Lori Sterling.

Serena kneeled back to the ground, hugging her mother the instant Malcom released her, never looking at him even once throughout.

Standing beside Serena, witnessing all this, Melody Parker was deeply moved by everything Malcom did.

...

After the funeral was over and Serena Sterling was settled, Melody Parker returned to her apartment.

Just as she pushed open her apartment door, Benjamin Parker, who had been waiting, immediately came up to her.

Benjamin ran in front of Melody Parker, face uplifted, asking, "Mommy, did godmother’s father pass away? Is godmother very sad?"

"Yes, your godmother is very sad, very sad," Melody stroked her child’s little face, answered his question, and continued, "Sweetheart, after a while, go and comfort your godmother; she likes you so much, maybe seeing you will make her a little happy."

Benjamin, with his shiny black eyes looking at Melody, nodded, "Okay, Mommy, I will definitely comfort godmother properly."

"Good, sweetie," Melody looked at Benjamin with guilt, "Sweetheart, I’m sorry for not being able to take care of you while accompanying your godmother these past few days."
