Whenever she met this man, he would always look clean and handsome, but there was actually a light stubble around his lips now.They were not very close. They were just collaboration partners, but he had stayed by her side in the hospital last night.While she thought about it, Duke walked out of the ward.Adina looked away and took out her phone to call Alden.“Hello, Mom, are you awake?”Alden’s obedient and mature voice did not sound out of the ordinary on the other end of the line.Adina wore a gentle smile and said, “I’ll be discharged soon. Wait for me at home for about half an hour. I’ll send you to preschool.”“Mom, you can rest in the hospital for a little longer. I can take Mel to preschool,” Alden said obediently. “We’ll take Bus 13 to preschool, and we can get off after five stops. It’ll only take ten minutes. Don’t worry, Mom.”Adina secretly sighed.If she were a responsible mother who was not too busy with her work, would Alden be so mature?Her children were b
“Ms. Daugherty, why are you here?”The dean politely gave Dew a glass of water.Dew looked down as she arrogantly and coldly said, “I’ve come to investigate some information about two students.”The dean was stunned. “The preschool’s rules require that all student information remain confidential. Nothing can be disclosed.”“Mr. Winters plans to let Harold return to continue his studies, but he wants to check the qualifications of his classmates. I’ll just bring the information back and show it to Mr. Winters. I won’t spread it. You don’t have to worry about this,” Dew said nonchalantly. “Besides, Winters Corporation is a huge company. Your students’ information is useless to them.”When the dean heard that, he was ecstatic.Harold, the young master of the Winters family, had studied in this preschool for half a year before. Back then, the Winters family had invested at least $30,000,000 in the preschool.When Harold left, they instantly lost a money bag.If Harold came back to
The warehouse door was locked, and there was a raging fire outside.Yet, Adina still managed to escape under those circumstances.It was due to the presence of these two children. Adina must have survived that desperate situation because she wanted to protect her children.Why did Dew not wait for a little longer four years ago?If she had gotten rid of all of them, she would not be facing such a difficult situation now.Dew felt extremely troubled.She never expected there to be quadruplets.Buzz!Right then, her phone vibrated violently.She cast a glance at the incoming call. It was from Tyson.She instantly calmed her complicated and messy emotions. She could still salvage the situation as long as there was Tyson.“Mr. Osborne, you called me just in time. I just obtained some information about the kids.” Dew wore a cold smile and said, “They were born late in the summer four years ago. I calculated the time. I think you made Adina pregnant that night, and she gave birth
“Mr. Sunderland, welcome to our company. Sorry for not receiving you downstairs. Please, come in.”Mr. Roberts grinned as he walked over. He appeared respectful and humble.When Trent saw the group of people that suddenly surrounded him, he was a little dumbfounded.He was the general manager of Sunderland Corporation. This building belonged to Sunderland Corporation, and there was also a floor devoted to his office.Therefore, he thought the people around him were also staff members of LaStar Technology Corporation.He dared not offend the staff members under Adina either.So, he nodded politely. “Has she reached the office?”When he threw them the question, Mr. Roberts was taken aback.She? Who was she?Who was he referring to?Was Mr. Sunderland asking if the distant relative of the staff’s cousin was there? Mr. Roberts kept signaling at his secretary.His secretary took the hint, so he turned around and went back to the office. He got ready to ask the staff to summon
Trent held his waist, and he was in so much pain that he kept gasping.He had expected this to happen, but he was still frightened when he was lifted and thrown to the ground.He looked really pitiful.“Are you okay, Mr. Sunderland?” Mr. Roberts immediately went over and helped him up. “Your waist must be injured. There’s an ointment in my office. I’ll help you apply it.”When Trent heard that his waist was injured, he became so furious that his expression darkened. “Your waist is injured! Your whole family has injured waists! How dare Adina do this to me?! I’m not done with her!”He uttered that last sentence just to gain some respect for himself.He supported his waist as he stood up with difficulty and limped into the elevator.“What the heck just happened?” Mr. Roberts said in confusion.“Mr. Roberts, didn’t you see? Ms. Daugherty threw Mr. Sunderland to the ground just now, and he’s livid!” his secretary said with a stern expression. “Mr. Sunderland from Sunderland Corpora
Once school was almost over, the kids in the preschool began to carry their bags as they waited for their parents to pick them up.Ava was maintaining order, so she did not hear her phone vibrating.Right then, the dean walked inside. “Alden, Melody, your father’s here to pick you up.”Alden immediately frowned.Melody speedily turned around as well.“Mr. Cooper.” Ava immediately walked over and said in a lower voice, “Alden and Melody don’t have a father. They are from a single-parent family.”Mr. Cooper was stunned. “That can’t be. Their father’s waiting outside.”Ava stroked her chin.She could vaguely remember Alden’s mother mentioning that they did not have a father.Why did their father suddenly show up?“Mr. Cooper, let me bring the kids out and have a look.”Ava then held them in each hand.Alden frowned but obediently went out because he wanted to see who was claiming to be their father.Conversely, there was a glint in Melody’s eyes.Her glazed eyes were bright
The calm voice of a man rang out behind her.“Ms. Daugherty, why are you leaving in a rush?”Tyson slowly walked over.Adina could feel a venomous snake crawl up from her ankle, and it was extremely terrifying.She softly said, “Alden, bring Mel into the car and lock the doors. I need to deal with something.”Alden obediently helped Melody into the car. He closed the car door only after he raised his hand and took a photo of Tyson.Adina took a deep breath and turned around.“You’re Mr. Osborne, right? Let’s go to the side and talk,” she said coldly.She took a few steps to the side. She did not want Alden to hear the conversation between her and this man.This man was terrible. He was not worthy of being Alden and Melody’s father.Tyson cast a glance at the kids who were sitting inside the car.The boy was obedient and well-behaved, while the girl was beautiful and adorable.They were his children!It was unbelievable!He had easily found information about Adina on the I
Alden moved the mouse and clicked on all the news.The news generally painted Tyson as a good entrepreneur who loved his wife and child.That night, five years ago, in the Grand Emperor Hotel… This man claimed to be his and Melody’s father.Had Alden made a mistake?The brilliant Alden started to doubt himself.He should have done the paternity test last time.Daylight came later in the late autumn. When Adina woke up, it was already 7.30 pm.The lighting in her room was dim, and some sunlight only shone in when she drew the curtain to the side.She then stood on the balcony and gave Ava a call.“Ms. Jones, the man from yesterday isn’t Alden and Melody’s father. If he visits the preschool again, please don’t let him approach the kids.”Ava naturally gave Adina her word, and she sighed in relief.Next, she would have to look for a lawyer.She would not admit defeat in this battle.Adina took a deep breath and inhaled the cold late autumn air before she began to get ready.
