Falling For My Ex's Uncle - Chapter 344: Chapter 344

Melody looked at Alex in disbelief.
Perhaps, in her opinion, it was bad enough that Alex did not appreciate her kindness, but he even dared to speak rudely to her.
No matter what, she was still a member of the Shepherd family. Alex was too disrespectful to her.
"Alex, I know you dote on Laurel, but you can't let her do whatever she wants. If she does anything embarrassing in the future, not only will the Parks family's reputation be ruined, but so will that of the Herrera family." Melody looked straight at Alex. Her tone was gentle, but there was a chill in her words.
Alex's smiling face instantly darkened. He looked at Melody coldly. "Mrs. Melody Parks, you're right. I'm indeed too indulgent towards my wife."
When he finished, he slowly raised his head and looked at me.
His exquisite facial features matched his smooth jawline and those bewitching, charming eyes. I looked at him calmly and remained silent.
Melody's angry expression seemed to have eased a little. She raised her head and looked at me. "Laurel, since you've returned to the Parks family, you can't embarrass the Parks family. As a wife and mother, you don't even know how to control your temper. How are you going to educate your child in the future?
"You're so young, yet you're so vicious. It's not good to be so ruthless. Shall I get a doctor for you?" Melody mocked sarcastically.
However, she did not notice that although Alex was smiling in the wheelchair, his expression gradually darkened. His hands on his knees could not help but clench into fists.
"Mrs. Melody Parks, what right do you think you have to lecture my wife?" He snorted coldly. "Have you forgotten that if Laurel hadn't returned to the Parks family, you wouldn't still be able to stay here and point fingers at her?"
He sighed softly and leaned against the back of his wheelchair. His lips curled into a faint smile as he added, "What I mean by being too indulgent is that I didn't send anyone to take good care of her. She shouldn't have used her hands to hit people who spoke rudely to her or even beat her."
After saying that, Alex reached out his well-defined hand and gently tapped twice on the leather armrest of the wheelchair.
He said slowly, "Lawrence, choose two skilled women from Serenity Clubhouse to follow Laurel. During this period of time, there are always people with ill intentions who want my wife and child's lives. I have to take precautions."
"Alex, what do you mean?" Melody asked with a dark expression.
Alex revealed a distant and cold smile. Then, he looked at Rebecca and softened his voice. "Mrs. Rebecca Parks, I'll let this matter rest today on your account. If anyone dares to hurt my people in the future, don't blame me for not considering the relationship between our families.
"Although Austin and Kailyn have already been engaged, they haven't gotten their marriage license, right?"
Melody was rendered speechless by Alex's words.
Of course, Rebecca wasn't stupid. She understood the meaning behind Alex's words.
Melody wanted to kill my unborn child because she wanted Austin to be the successor in the future.
Ever since Alex's accident, although the Herrera family already knew who the successor was, Raphael had not announced it yet.
Especially after Alex was injured, the netizens speculated that there was internal strife in the Herrera family.
Now, Raphael's beloved youngest son was almost dead. Regardless of whether the car accident was an accident or not, Alex's life had been threatened.
The Herrera family might not announce the heir for the time being, so there might be a change in the heir.
If my child could be born safely, Raphael would definitely have nothing to worry about.
Although Rebecca was angry, she knew that if something really happened, Alex would not let Melody off easily, and Maddox might even be implicated.
Moreover, if the Herrera family found out that Melody had used such a lowly method, they would definitely not let the matter rest.
Most importantly, she was being used by Melody.
Rebecca sized up Alex and smiled. "I'm already old. My descendants will have their own fortune. In the future, I'll have no say in the matters of the younger generation."
Alex smiled. "Since you've thought things through, everything will definitely go smoothly in the future."
"That's right. There's no need to make things difficult for myself."
Rebecca stretched out her hand, and Margie hurriedly walked forward to support her.
Rebecca turned around and looked at Melody with a complicated expression. She snorted and said, "Although Ruth made the decision on her own, she's hired by the Parks family and works for you. Don't just teach Laurel the rules. You have to teach the people around you, too. Don't drag down the entire Parks family."
"Don't worry, Mother. I'll definitely handle it well," Melody replied.
"It's getting late. I have to go back." Rebecca looked around in confusion and asked, "Where's Kailyn? Why didn't I see her?"
Actually, not only was Rebecca curious, but I was also curious.
When I was brought into Melody's room, I heard Kailyn's tragic cry.
I did not know what had happened. Moreover, with Kailyn's personality, she would have stepped forward to seek justice for her mother long ago.
It was impossible for her to hide in her room and not come out unless something happened.
A look of panic appeared on Melody's face. She said hesitantly, "Kailyn is not feeling well. She's resting in her room."
Rebecca frowned slightly when she heard this. She glanced at Melody and said in a low voice, "Margie, let's go back."
Margie nodded. She supported Rebecca and turned to leave without hesitation.
Alex and I didn't remain in the living room. We turned around and returned to our room.
Alex's leg was bandaged, but it was just a cover-up.
We all knew that he could only exert strength with his left leg. I felt that it would be inconvenient for him to go upstairs, so I helped him up, but he refused.
After returning to our room, I noticed that his forehead was covered in sweat. I frowned and said with some heartache, "I thought you wouldn't come back."
"Don't worry, I won't go anywhere in the future. I'll follow you wherever you go," Alex teased.
I cleared my throat. There was a hint of fear in my tone. "Aren't you angry?"
Alex blinked. His long eyelashes were like small fans. "Why should I be angry?"
"I hit someone." I pouted.
Alex poured a glass of water and handed it to me. There was no anger on his face. I even suspected that what he had said in the living room was true.
However, I knew in my heart that Alex wouldn't love my unborn child because he didn't want him at all.
