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
“Dew, about what happened four years ago, I won’t ask you for the reason. I just want to ask you, do we still have a future?”Dylan Houghton’s eyes were filled with affection as he caressed Dew’s shoulders.His hands were warm, and that made Dew’s heart pound really fast.Ever since she set her sights on becoming Mrs. Winters, she had never gotten into a relationship with any other man. It had been four years since she last slept with a man.The man rubbed her shoulders, slowly stirring the desire in her heart.She licked her lips. “Dylan, we won’t have a future.”“People always say that we should cherish the present moment instead of asking for eternity.” Dylan stared at her, and his voice was bewitching. “Will you let me own you for a moment?”Dew completely fell for him.She could not wait for it.The feeling of sleeping with a man from four years ago filled her heart, and her cheeks became flushed.Dylan chuckled. “Dew, I’ll love you and take care of you. Don’t be afraid.
