Duke had introduced an important client of the Winters family to her. What did that mean?

It meant Duke treated her like family!

When Dew thought about that, her smile became brighter. “Mr. Johnson, even though you have less hair, you still look quite handsome.”

She flattered Adrian softly.

When the beautiful lady complimented his looks, Adrian felt extremely happy. He humbly said, “Ms. Daugherty, you’re truly a gorgeous woman. I attended so many banquets in Sea City, but this is the first time I saw someone like you who looks more beautiful than Marilyn Monroe.”

Dew’s eyes crinkled when she smiled.

No woman hated compliments, especially when they came from a successful man like that.

She lowered her head and pursed her lips. She acted like she was a coquettish person.

Duke drank half of the wine in his glass before he indifferently said, “Ms. Daugherty has just been discharged from the hospital, so she isn’t feeling very well. Mr. Johnson, please help me look after her.”

    Duke walked around outside before he went back to the banquet hall. Then, he saw countless men surrounding a woman.This woman had fair skin. When light shone on her face, her face looked a little rosy, and her red lips also appeared glossy.She was wearing a simple white dress. The strapless dress accentuated her waistline and the perfect curves around her hips.Her long, fair legs were planted in a pair of high heels. Her ankles were well-defined, and her toes were round as well as dainty.Duke suddenly understood why some people were interested in women’s feet.Some women’s feet were so pretty that people could not take their eyes off them.He took a sip of his wine, and he forcefully looked away. But he saw that Adina smiled brightly while talking happily to the men.Some unclear feelings filled his heart.When he snapped out of a daze, he was already standing in front of Adina.Duke was born with a strong imposing manner. When his expression darkened and he remained silen

    Adina. “What?”If she was not mistaken, Dew cared about a man’s appearance very much!If Mr. Johnson looked handsome, she might have believed what Duke said.However, according to her understanding of Dew, that woman would never be interested in bald men.Duke saw that the contempt in Adina’s eyes become more obvious.He drank some wine before he resolutely changed the subject. “How’s Melody?” he casually asked.After she took the little girl away, she did not even call him back.He was a little worried about Melody’s condition.Adina initially wanted to say, “It’s none of your business”.However, it was this man who had taken Melody upstairs last time. He had helped her take a bath and change her clothes.Adina pursed her pink lips and nonchalantly said, “She’s good.”“I know a specialist who treats child autism. Do you want to send Melody over?” Duke said with a deep voice. “Melody can speak now, and that shows she’s had a breakthrough with her autism. You should take this

    “Aunt Adina, I miss you.”Harold cried loudly as he held Adina’s neck tightly. He leaned on her shoulder and kept sobbing.When Alden heard the cries, he walked outside. When he saw Harold, his gaze became unfriendly. “Why are you still here?”Adina carried Harold and frowned as she asked, “What happened?”“Aunt Adina, I came to look for you, but he didn’t allow me to come in. He chased me out.” Harold sobbed as he complained. “I miss you and Mel. I just want to see you. I won’t do anything bad.”Blue veins popped up on Alden’s forehead. An hour ago, Harold had knocked on their door and insisted on rushing into the house.Alden had asked Uncle Ethan’s assistant to leave for a long time, so only he and Melody were at home. Why would he allow a stranger to enter?He closed the door strongly, and he thought Harold would sensibly leave.Unexpectedly, Harold waited at the door for an hour. What was more unexpected was that Harold complained about him to his mother.Adina felt a h

    She really did not understand why Harold always went after her.When she looked at Harold’s pitiful face, she suddenly recalled what happened last night.Melody had sneaked out of preschool to look for Duke, and Harold had sneaked out of his house to look for her.Why was this happening?Adina could not figure it out even after she thought about it.She stroked Harold’s hair, which was a mess. There were rotten leaves and dust from the flowerbed stuck in it.She carried the boy helplessly. “Your Dad will arrive in twenty minutes. I’ll take you to take a shower first.”Duke helped Melody take a shower, and she helped Harold take a shower. Both of them had settled the score.Just as she got up, Alden followed her and indifferently said, “Mom, he should be four years old. He can take a shower on his own.”Adina’s scent made Harold feel secure, and he did not want to let her go. He held Adina’s neck tightly. “I don’t know how to take shower. I also don’t know how to take off my cl

    “Who’s bullying you?” Alden sneered. “You don’t even know how to run the water. Now you’re blaming me?”He had always been an obedient and mature good boy in front of Adina and Ms. Jones.But now, his expression was 70% similar to Duke’s.His sneer was filled with some hostility, and his gaze was filled with mockery.Harold was usually fearless, but his face turned red because of anger.He came to look for Aunt Adina, not to be bullied!He was the little devil in the Winters family. Since he was born, he had never been bullied like this.He got out of the bathtub and quickly went to open the door.Alden stopped in front of him. “Promise me one thing, and I’ll let you out.”Harold was so angry that he wanted to put on a fight with Alden.However, he was naked, so he had already lost partially in terms of his imposing manner.He gritted his teeth and said, “Aunt Adina is so gentle. Why does she have such a bad son like you?”Alden smiled.Yes, he was a terrible person.He h

    Alden clenched his fists.It was the first time that his mom had spoken to him in a stern tone ever since he could remember.It was all because of Harold.Alden pursed his lips, lowered his head, and admitted his mistake. “I’m sorry, Mom. I made a mistake.”“Alden, go downstairs and tell Mel a story. I’ll help Harold take a shower.”Adina carried Harold into the bathroom and locked the door behind her.Alden stared at the door for a while before he turned around and went downstairs.Ten minutes later, Adina carried Harold downstairs after his shower. “Alden, I let him put on some of your clothes. Do you mind?”Alden obediently said, “Harold, you look good in that shirt. It’s my apology gift to you.”Harold turned to the side.He did not want to wear Alden’s clothes, but if he refused to wear them, he could only be naked or wear Melody’s dress.Adina patted his head. “Alden already apologized to you. What should you say?”Harold scoffed.He would never say, “It’s okay”!Tw

    Duke was standing outside the villa.He could see the living room from his angle.Under the yellowish light, three kids were sitting on the mat while playing puzzles.Adina was sitting on the couch while tapping away on her laptop. She would raise her head and take a look at the three kids from time to time, and her smile was very gentle.The scene was so warm that Duke felt reluctant to ruin it.Eventually, he pursed his lips and pressed the doorbell.Ding dong!Adina raised her head, put down her laptop, and came over to open the door.When she saw the man with the cold aura, she paused for a while before she said, “Mr. Winters, this is the second time that your son has come to me.”Duke did not answer.If he counted carefully, this should be the eighth time.Mr. Brown had stopped Harold a few times, and the brat had come over at other times, but there was no one at home.However, Duke would not tell the woman about that.He stood at the door and spoke with a straight fa

    Ever since he was born, Dad had never spoken to him like that before.If Dad could be that gentle and patient with him, he would not have thought of running away from home.But when Harold looked at the beautiful girl, he instantly felt troubled.If he looked one-tenth as good as Mel, Dad would also like him.Why did he look so ugly?Mel threw the puzzles away and stood up. She stared at Duke and slowly took the first step.But just as she took one step, she hesitantly moved back.She looked down and carefully took a look at Alden.Others did not know what her gaze meant, but Alden understood it.He had told Mel that this man did not deserve their love, so Mel hesitated.Alden felt extremely conflicted.He stood up, held Melody’s hand, and said in a deep voice, “Mel, you can go anywhere you want. I’ll go with you.”The little girl pursed her lips and smiled.She held Alden’s hand and walked toward Duke with excitement.“Mel’s a good girl.”Duke sighed in relief for some

    The screen was full of comments like, “I can’t accept this sadness.”When the host saw the audience overreacting, he smiled to smooth out the situation and said, “Have you forgotten? Ninian just said that she wanted to announce some good news!”His words reminded everyone at the venue.With that, almost everyone held their breath and listened to her.“Everett and I will be holding a wedding soon!”“What?!”“Ah! Awesome! The day has finally come!”“Sob! Ninian and Everett finally have a happy ending! I’m going to cry! They’re my youth! I’ve witnessed love that has gone the distance!”“You have my blessings! You have to be happy for the rest of your lives!”Their cheers grew louder and louder, almost overturning the whole award hall.Everett was standing backstage. When Ninian saw the scene, she turned back, looked into his eyes, and smiled.They were finally getting married.The eighth of September was a good day for their wedding.The headlines in the entertainment section

    The Winters family fell silent again.Among the three sisters-in-law, Lana was already so moved that she wept. Raina and Nerola were stronger, but their eyes turned red too.The Winters brothers, who were initially touched, instantly appeared dissatisfied as a result.They were actually moved and crying for other men? Women, you were playing with fire!Naturally, the Winters brothers did not have a chance to vent their anger because Duke had already stood up.He walked to the similarly outstanding young men, who were standing side by side, and patted their shoulders. At this moment, he seemed to age a little. He did not look like the overlord who dominated the business industry in the past.“From now on, I’ll leave my two babies to you.”When Brooklyn and Everett heard this, they were taken aback, but their eyes were soon filled with excitement.Before they could respond, Duke had already walked far away. Meanwhile, Adina got up abruptly to accompany him.She turned back and l

    “Uncle Duke,” Brooklyn and Everett greeted Duke at the same time.Brooklyn was older, so he moved a step forward first and said, “Uncle Duke, this is something that I prepared three years ago. All properties under my name, including shares that aren’t limited to the family business, properties, estates, stocks, etc… were transferred to Mel three years ago. Whether in the past or in the future, everything I have, including my life, will belong to her.”Melody was shocked when he said that.All his properties had been transferred to her? He never mentioned anything to her. He just silently gave her everything.“Daddy…” Melody looked at Duke, and her clear gaze was filled with helplessness which was rare.Brooklyn was the only person, other than her family, who was willing to sacrifice everything for her.Such love that was enthusiastic, reserved, hidden, yet deep and long-lasting made her heart seize.George took the documents from Brooklyn and passed them to Duke.Duke flipped t

    At the same time, Alden replied to her.“Daddy and Mommy are just in the next city. The journey will take two hours.”Melody was speechless. She was right!There was murderous intent on the indifferent and delicate girl’s face.Good! Great! She wanted to see where her father could hide this time!When Ninian came out after putting her makeup on, it was still early. There were still two hours before the ceremony’s banquet.There was still half an hour left before her father came home. At this time, Melody secretly called Everett and Brooklyn to come over. They were fully prepared, and they just waited for Duke to return home.At the side, George, Raina, Harold, Lana, Alden, and Nerola were watching the show.After the Winters sisters worked hard, the three of their sisters-in-law were successfully bribed to support them to get married as soon as possible.Even the three of their henpecked brothers also took their sides.Now, the Winters siblings had everything ready.

    There was also “as long as a woman had a stable job and strong support from her family, she would be happy and relaxed even if she stayed single for her whole life.”She could go on.Besides, what was more cunning about Duke was that he would never post the quotes using his own account. He would use his wife’s, Adina’s WhatsApp, to post inspirational quotes and links every time.In the beginning, it caused the Winters siblings to panic for a time, and they thought that their mother opposed their marriage.They sighed in relief only after Alden unintentionally hacked his father’s account. He realized that his father had found the posts and forwarded them to his mother before posting them using his mother’s phone.It was fine. It was normal for the father-in-law to trouble his sons-in-law.It was the same theory as the mother-in-law having conflicts with her daughters-in-law.However, the roles changed in their family.

Besides, Ninian said she wanted to rely on herself before the casting, which also impressed and moved her.Unexpectedly, she gave herself an opportunity with her unintentional act. That made Reverie feel blessed and surprised.Hearing what she said, Ninian felt warm and comforted.Everyone thought that the entertainment industry was filthy and full of schemes.In reality, there were many people who pursued their dreams and worked very hard there. There were also many people who helped and supported each other.When there were people, there would be competition, but there would also be warmth and sincerity.Ninian filmed her scenes in an orderly manner.As for the Winters siblings, their relationships also developed smoothly.George had happily begun preparing for his wedding.

    However, to the surprise of those haters, Ninian, who was acting for the first time, not only did not drop the ball on any of her performances in the Oscar-level mission, but she also managed to portray her own charm and personality in the character very well.From her gentleness and firmness at the start to the grandeur during the protest to her enthusiasm and passion even when captured by the enemy and taken to the execution ground, her character arc represented the experiences of countless revolutionary predecessors.She had absorbed the spirits of many ancestors into her body. Seeing her alone demonstrated the bravery and unstoppable power of Cairnstan’s youth.Before she was executed, she looked at the rising sun and showed a gentle and firm smile.In the end, gunshots rang out, and her body dropped to the ground.

    “What? What turn of events?” Nilson immediately asked. “We have defenders!”“Defenders? What defenders? Are you talking about soccer now?” With wide eyes, Nilson asked.“No, not those types of defenders! What I mean is that someone stepped in and is explaining on Ms. Winters’ behalf! But it’s not one of our people. It’s defenders from outside!” explained the staff. “What?” Nilson immediately stood up. “Let me see!”The staff quickly handed the phone over to him, and the website page on the screen kept on refreshing.
