“Mel, don’t you like Barbie dolls either?”Harold looked troubled as he frowned.Guessing Melody’s thoughts was even harder than solving a mathematics question.He sighed. “Let’s sneak out and play. We can’t let Dad find out.”Melody obediently went downstairs with him.Harold held her hand and passed by the bottom of the stairs.Just as they took a few steps, Melody stopped moving.Compared with playing the slides, she preferred playing the piano.Mr. Albert had given her new homework yesterday, and she had yet to practice.Therefore, the little girl swung Harold’s hand away and sat in front of the piano.The elegant sound of the piano echoed.Harold’s eyes lit up. “Wow! Mel, you can play the piano. It sounds awesome! I’ve never heard such a melodious song.”The sound of the piano finally broke the awkwardness in the living room.Duke turned around.A girl in a pink dress was sitting at the piano next to the staircase.She sat up straight, and her long, fair fingers pre
Dew had heard the sounds of a piano before her car stopped.There was only one piano in the Winters family villa, and it was the one she had bought. Who was touching her piano?Dew pushed the car door open, got out, and quickly walked to the living room’s entrance.She glanced around the main door and the living room before seeing a pink figure sitting in front of the piano.The figure looked exactly like Adina.How could that b*tch’s daughter play her piano?Before Dew realized it, she had already rushed into the living room and pushed Melody away.Melody was playing the piano. Her fingers swept over the keys quickly, and she was so close…. so close to figuring out which part had gone wrong.But at that moment, a strong breeze blew over.It completely lifted her.One second she was sitting on the high bench, and the next, she had unexpectedly fallen.The bench was for adults, so it was tall. When Melody hit the ground, she screamed in pain.“You little b*stard! How dare yo
Dew felt a cold shiver run down her spine.Her tears fell nonstop like the water in a flowing river.“You slapped me, but I’m not crying. Why are you crying?” Harold’s voice was full of hatred. “If you want to keep crying, just get out!”Dew forced herself to stop crying.She bit her bottom lip and stared at Duke as she tried to explain. “I don’t like people touching my things without my permission. I bought this piano for $3,000,000, and it’s unique in the city. I was afraid that the kid would break my piano, so I pushed her away. Who knew she would be so weak? I really didn’t intend for it to turn out like this.”She should not have explained herself because once she did that, Duke’s expression became colder.He looked down and curled his fingers gently. “I also don’t like people invading my house without my permission.”“Mr. Brown, send our guest away!” he shouted reproachfully.Dew widened her eyes. “Duke, are you chasing me out? Why? Is it because of this little bast*rd?”
Dew soon regretted what she said.Unfortunately, there was no way for her to take back her words now. She had to pluck up her courage to stare Duke in the eyes.The man’s black and dark eyes were harsh.He curled his lips into a sneer. “You wanted to give birth to them, and you did. Now, you want to take them away as you wish. What is the Winters family to you?”Dew relented again. “Duke, I gave birth to George and Harold after a ten-month pregnancy. You said that I was always welcome to the Winters family villa, and I could come over whenever I miss the boys. But you’re chasing me out right now. I… I’m really scared that I won’t be able to see the boys anymore.”“Your biggest mistake was calling Melody a little b*stard.” Duke raised his voice coldly. “Mr. Brown, why are you still standing there? Why aren’t you bringing her out?”Mr. Brown nodded and stood in front of Dew. “Ms. Daugherty, if you don’t cooperate and leave, I’ll have to get the bodyguards to throw you out.”Dew wa
Melody had been different from other children since birth.People always said that daughters were sweethearts, but Melody was not the affectionate type. She never cried or made a fuss, and she rarely asked for a hug.This was the first time that Melody had taken the initiative to climb on Adina over the past year.Naturally, her daughter was more important than another person’s child.Adina carried Melody and softly asked, “Mel, what’s wrong?”The little girl hugged Adina’s neck without answering.Duke walked over and softly said, “I’m sorry. I wasn’t paying attention.”Adina narrowed her eyes. “What happened?”“Aunt Adina, that witch bullied Mel!” Harold said angrily. “Luckily, I responded quickly. I shielded Mel, or else, Mel’s face would have been swollen!”He stood up straight, feeling proud. “I’m a man, and I’m her brother. I said I would protect Mel. Aren’t I amazing, Aunt Adina?”Adina stroked his head. “Thank you, Harold.”She was smiling, but her eyes were cold.Sh
One should never compare themselves with other people.However, it was the third time Adina had heard her son ask about Harold’s brother.“Alden, why are you asking about him?” she inquired curiously.“Harold’s always saying that he has an incredible brother, so I’ve been wanting to see how great he is,” Alden answered nonchalantly.Adina could not help but chuckle.Alden was usually very mature, which always made her think that he was a grown-up.Alden would only show his childish desire to win when it came to such matters.“If there’s a chance, I’ll arrange for the two of you to meet,” Duke said as he drove. “George is a genius, and you’re not any worse. If both of you chat, perhaps you can help open up a new perspective for each other.”Alden pursed his lips and said nothing else.But Adina became more curious about George.……George asked his assistant to send him home after he finished working on his last case.It was 3.00 pm, and the villa was silent. Only the rustlin
George’s dark gaze suddenly froze.Melody was Adina’s daughter?“But Mel likes to be with Alden more. She just loves Alden. I wonder when Mel will consider me as her brother.” Harold wore a sad expression and sighed.George felt troubled as he asked, “Her own brother?”“Obviously he’s her brother!” Harold glanced at George again. “George, didn’t you investigate Aunt Adina? How come you don’t know that she has two kids?”George fell silent.He had done a background check on Adina, but the information did not reveal that Adina had kids.In other words, Adina protected the two children really well, so information about them could not be found publicly.It was the same way his dad protected Harold and him.So, the boy he had previously met outside Harold’s ward was Melody’s brother?That boy looked like he was four years old. Was he Melody’s twin?Just like Harold and him?“Mel is the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. Her eyes are gorgeous like black grapes, and her face is l
George stared at the Barbie doll in his hand and stoically replied, “What do you mean by ‘what should I do?’”“Your dad vented his anger on me for the sake of a little b*stard. He even banned me from going to the Winters family villa again. George, your dad also threw out the piano that you bought for me. That was your gift to me. How could your dad be so cruel? George, I’m so sad and frustrated. I don’t know what to do. I feel helpless…” George frowned.For some reason, when Dew called Melody a “little b*stard,” he felt angry.He pursed his lips and coldly said, “If you hadn’t hurt Mel, Dad wouldn’t have gotten angry at you. There has to be a reason for everything. Mom, you better reflect on your actions a little more.”“But I didn’t slap that little b*stard. I didn’t even touch her finger.”“Mom, you’re a lady, but you keep saying ‘little b*stard.’ Where’s your elegance? Where’s your temperament?” George’s voice was filled with mockery. “Mom, you better spend more time practic
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. They we
Her words were audible in the live stream, and they instantly caused a big fuss.[Ninian has a kid!][Is “the Everett” a dad now?][Sob! I knew that they secretly got married!][How could they not live broadcast my husband and wife’s wedding?]The comments on the screen kept moving, while Ninian was clueless on the other side.She just said, “It’s our baby. Please make the necessary arrangements, thank you.”The comments became more frenzied.[?][!]A series of symbols occupied the whole screen. After Ninian hung up, they were still rolling.The netizens were worked up.By the time the venue’s staff realized this, it had become the top trending topic.[#The Everett and Ninian secretly got married!][#Baby Ninian has a kid!][#The Everett is a father now!]Crazy, screaming fans filled the bottom of the screams.The couple had been together for so long, and the fans had gotten used to them from not accepting them at the beginning.After all, Ninian grew up quickly befo
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. It was the father who was being antagonistic toward the daught
Reverie’s smile was sincere and genuine.She initially helped Ninian only because she thought that Ninian was great. 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. Raina was not a pretentious person either, and the couple had discussions about how the
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. However, the sun rose all the way and illuminated the earth.Numerous people were moved and went wild at the scene where she smiled. It was not until everyone’s e
“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. [@ActressReverieWood: “I’ve worked with the Winters family’s little princess before. She has a lovely personality. She’s soft-spoken and well-behaved, and she has no temper at all. What surprised me the most was her acting skills. She was a rookie who was full of presence, and she could easily blend into the concept. Most actors, including myself, admire someone as talented as her.]A few short clips were attached under the tweet, all of which were from the show,
