If was fine as long as he could be in her life.But Alden was asking him to leave now.“I’ll leave on the earliest flight tomorrow.” Flint pulled the blanket over and covered his face. “I’m tired. I want to get some sleep.”Alden silently held the basin and entered the bathroom.He felt guilty and blamed himself. His face was full of anxiety.No matter what, Uncle Flint had lent his mom a hand when she was in trouble, but he was chasing Uncle Flint away.Was he being too selfish?……The next morning, when Adina went downstairs to make breakfast, the couch was empty.There was a note on the table in the dining room. [Addy, my father's calling for me. I’ll go back home first. See you next time.”Adina pursed her lips.Flint came from a rich family, but he was unreliable, and his bank card had been frozen for a long time.She guessed the Morton family must have been shocked when he returned $6,000,000 to her yesterday.She had expected the Morton family to call him back as we
Dew took Harold’s things and went directly to the Winters’ house.As soon as she got out of the car, she saw George walking out with a cold expression.“George.”Dew went forward quickly.“Mom,” George greeted her politely. “Harold's in the bedroom. You better not go up to the second floor.”Wherever Harold was present, Dew would try not to go there.Since that young master never respected her, she would never make a fool of herself.Dew handed the things to Mr. Brown, the housekeeper, before she softly said, “George, I need your help with something.”George pursed his lips. “Please speak.”“George, I know that your father has given you plenty of manpower. Can you ask your subordinates to help me check on Adina…” Dew sighed and looked sad. "Adina's the third largest shareholder of Daugherty Corporation now. Her every word and action will affect the company’s share price… But I saw a little girl calling her mom this morning… She isn't married yet, so how can she have a child?"
“I…” Dew grabbed her own collar.Of course she was afraid!She was afraid that Adina would discover who the two young masters in the Winters family actually were!She was afraid that the Winters family would find out what happened four years ago!She was afraid that all her beautiful dreams over the last four years would break into pieces.Dew bit her bottom lip with all her strength before she was able to suppress her anxiety.“George… I’m afraid…” She moved forward and held George’s little hands. “Adina and I are stepsisters, but the conflict between us is too strong. It can’t be resolved. She's back now, and she won’t easily spare me. She'll hurt you and your brother.” She looked down and continued to slowly say, “I asked you to investigate Adina’s child because I want to have something on her. That way, she'll think twice about doing anything. Who knew that Harold would misunderstand like this? George, forget it. Don’t look into her. You and Harold are sons of the Winters
Just then, the bell in the preschool rang.School was over.A group of four-year-old children ran out happily.Dew raised her finger and sneered. “Your daughter's coming out. She looks exactly like you when you were a child.”She made it sound as if she had seen Melody countless times ......“I'll always remember how my two sons died four years ago. One day, I'll make you pay with your blood.” Adina grabbed Dew by the collar. “If you dare to hurt my daughter, I'll scrape the flesh off your body piece by piece!”The hatred in her eyes was so strong like an endless fire.Dew’s heart tightened for a while.She forced herself to calm down and said, “I'm your sister and the child’s aunt. Why would I hurt her?”She moved out of Adina’s grip before she took a step back and coldly said, “I didn’t prepare a gift this time, so I won't say hello to your daughter. Goodbye!”After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.She only had one purpose for today's visit, which was to
However, he found that Melody’s face was expressionless, while her eyes looked gloomy.It seemed like the word “daddy” had just been a hallucination.Melody had never even said "Mom." Why would she say "Daddy"?He must have heard it wrongly.After dinner, Adina helped Melody take a bath and cleaned up before she put the little girl to bed.Ever since Alden turned three and became more mature, she no longer had to help him with such matters. After she took care of Melody, she returned to the study to continue working.Her studio was in its preparation stage, but she already had two projects on hand. One was Xavier Corporation’s daily maintenance and subsequent update of intelligent products, while the other was the initial design preparation for Project A-F. The latter project required a lot of manpower, but she was having trouble with recruitment. It seemed that she had to look for her cousin for help.She remained busy until midnight.Adina did some stretches before she got re
On the street with a lot of traffic, Alden anxiously looked to the left and right before he finally saw a little girl in a pink dress.It was Melody!He immediately rushed toward her.Who would have thought that a sports car would speedily approach and drive past him?By the time the car drove away, Melody had disappeared.Alden’s head was full of sweat.When they went to preschool that morning, he had sensed something was wrong with Melody.He talked to her for a long time, but she did not respond.Then, he went to the toilet, and when he came back, Melody was gone.If Mom knew that Melody had gone missing from preschool, she would lose her mind.He had to get his sister back before his mom found out!Alden took a deep breath and continued to walk along the road, looking for Melody from store to store.At the same time, Melody was getting on a bus.She was following a woman with a child. She sat beside the woman, and the boy in the woman’s arms secretly looked at her.Sh
“What happened, Mr. Perez?”Jake went downstairs to do some work and saw Mr. Perez, the tall and imposing head of the security team, lying down on the floor. He looked slightly hilarious.Mr. Perez stroked his own nose. “A little girl rushed in, and she’s hiding under the table. What do you think I should do, Mr. Wilson?”Jake cast a glance at the bottom of the table. Mr. Perez lifted the table cloth so that he could see the little girl’s wide eyes from where he was.Her eyes were filled with vigilance, fear, and anxiety.The lighting was dim under the table, but Jake could still see that she was a fair and cute little girl.Jake’s heart melted a little, and he said, “It looks like this girl is just about three years old. Her guardian should be nearby. Don’t frighten the kid. Just bring her to the resting lounge and wait for her guardian to claim her.”Mr. Perez hummed before he bent down, went under the table, and retrieved the little girl.When Melody saw the hand that extend
Melody looked up at Duke with her black eyes.She looked so pretty like an exquisite doll, but this doll seemed slightly embarrassed now.She had hidden in the flowerbed for two hours. Her dress was torn up, and her face, as well as hands, were full of dirt.Her pink little dress had become yellowish, and there were a few pieces of leaves in her hair.Her eyes were the only clean and clear parts of her entire body.Mr. Perez lifted her with contempt.How dare this dirty kid hug Mr. Winters?!If her parents were there, they might need to compensate him until they went bankrupt!“Throw her out!”Jake reluctantly gave the instruction.It was really cruel to throw an adorable little girl out.However, he knew that Mr. Winters had severe mysophobia. If the little girl kept staying there and getting in his way, the consequences would be terrible for her.Mr. Winters could even hurt his own sons, more so a dirty little girl.Jake motioned for Mr. Perez to bring the little girl aw
