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.
Her heart subconsciously skipped a beat.She looked away before she pretended to be calm and said, “My company website was attacked and infected previously. I think there are still some remaining viruses that I haven’t cleaned up. Let me get rid of them first.”She calmly operated the computer.However, for some reason, the computer, which would usually be under her control, refused to obey her instructions today.The video on the screen was simply unbearable.Even though Adina was a calm person, she could not stand looking at the screen. She just narrowed her eyes and pressed any key at this point.Who would have thought that the scene would suddenly enlarge? The voices also became louder, which made the room… “Ms. Daugherty, you invited me to the study to watch this video?”It sounded like Duke was teasing her.He leaned forward.Adina was shocked. “What… What are you doing?” This man’s desire had not been triggered by the erotic video, had it?“Ms. Daugherty, your meth
Adina initially did not want to go.She would take her children out every weekend and put work aside.“Mom, I’ll look after Mel. You can relax and go ahead.” Alden smiled faintly. “Please come back early.”Melody was practicing the piano obediently, and Adina really did not have to worry about her.She caressed her children’s heads and changed before she left with Duke.As soon as the car disappeared from the entrance, Alden went upstairs and took out the laptop that he had hidden under the bed.He opened a social media webpage. When he logged in, he found that he had received many messages.The messages had been sent by K, and they were all filled with nonsense.Alden tapped on the keyboard and quickly sent K a sentence. [Uncle, last year, you mentioned that you wanted to form a studio of hackers. How did that turn out?]K: [A hacker studio without you would be soulless, so I gave up on the thought.]Sir Daugherty: [I agree to join.]K: [Damn! Have you finally made up your
Trent clicked his tongue.If Duke had not fallen for this woman, he would have pursued her.Unfortunately, he was no match for Duke.Oh no, it should be said that he was no match for this woman.Many people looked at them, and there were also some murmurs.“Mr. Winters is becoming more and more handsome. I wonder which lucky lady in Sea City is going to marry him.”“Stop dreaming. Can’t you see that the most beautiful woman in Sea City has already taken Mr. Winters’ heart? He’s a man, and men have bad habits. When they see a beautiful woman, they won’t walk away.”“Sigh! I’m so disappointed in Mr. Winters. He’s the man I want to marry the most, but he’s unexpectedly so superficial.”“I’m disappointed in Mr. Winters too.”When Trent heard those words, he laughed out loud.If the beautiful women in Sea City were disappointed in Duke, it meant that he stood a chance!Duke’s expression turned slightly dark.Whenever he attended such occasions, countless women would comment on h
