Adina was squished by the crowd, and she did not have a chance to move forward to approach him.It was too crowded.It was impossible for her to meet Brenden this way, let alone ask for his help with the lawsuit.Adina just watched as Brenden entered the building.While she thought about it, the phone in her pocket rang. She glanced at it and noticed that it was an unfamiliar number from Central City.She pursed her lips and answered the call.“Ms. Daugherty, I’ve already hired the most famous lawyer in Sea City, Mr. Jenkins, for the lawsuit. You can communicate directly with my lawyer if there are any issues.” Tyson’s voice rang out from the other end of the line. “Oh yeah, Mr. Jenkins told me parents have the right to visit their children. In other words, I have the right to visit my kids anytime. I’ll go and pick them up from preschool tomorrow. I’m just informing you in advance.”Adina held her phone, and her chest heaved heavily from anger.Tyson was determined to steal th
She drove steadily, and they soon arrived home.Adina pushed open the car door, got out, and went to the back to carry her children out.“Aunt Adina, you’re finally back.”Adina heard a soft voice behind her.When she turned around, she saw a cool kid in a denim outfit run toward her. He rushed into her arms like a meatball.“Harold, why are you here?”Harold placed his arms around Adina’s neck and gloomily said, “I’m so hungry. I’m starving. I want to eat the pasta that you cook.”Adina was distraught. “You didn’t sneak out behind your father again, did you?”“No, I didn’t!” Harold kept shaking his head. “I told Dad. I only came over after he said ‘yes!’”He clearly remembered Aunt Adina telling him that if he dared to sneak out of his house again, she would stop seeing him.Right then, a young bodyguard who seemed to be about twenty years old walked over. “Good evening, Ms. Daugherty. I’m Young Master Harold’s bodyguard. I’m Lucas Foster. The master ordered me to send the y
Adina had initially felt irritated, but strangely enough, she managed to calm down.She prepared their meal quickly.Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, nuggets, fried chicken wings with cola sauce, fresh salad, and mushroom soup filled the table.Lucas was a bodyguard, so he refused to have dinner with them no matter what Adina said. On top of that, he even went outside and stood in the courtyard to guard them.Adina knew that there were rules in the Winters family, so she did not force him.The group of four sat down at the dining table.“Wow! It smells so good. I’ve never smelled such a nice aroma! It has to be delicious!” Harold dramatically took a deep breath, and he seemed to be enjoying himself.Adina chuckled and said, “Eat more if it’s delicious.”“I’ll make myself at home!”Harold grabbed his fork and could not wait to pick up a chicken wing.He then took a bite. The taste of the tender chicken was mixed with cola. It was sweet yet not greasy at all. It had to be the most
Harold looked out, and his face instantly turned pale from shock.He immediately rushed into Adina’s arms and nervously said, “Aunt Adina, Dad’s here! He’s here to catch me!”Adina raised her wrist and looked at the time. There were ten more minutes before 8.30 pm. Why was this man here so soon to take Harold?While she thought about it, the villa’s doorbell rang.Adina got up and went to open the door.The temperature at night in late autumn was very cold, and Duke emanated the aura of such a cold night.He walked in only after he stood at the entrance hall for a while.Harold was nervous, but he pretended to look calm as he said, “Dad, I was about to go home, but you came.”“If I didn’t come over, you would have stayed here for another two hours,” Duke said indifferently.Harold flicked his tongue.His dad understood him well. He actually wanted to stay at Aunt Adina’s house for the night.“Mr. Winters, I’m the one who convinced Harold to stay and play a little longer,” Ad
Adina slowly said, “I don’t really think about getting a father for my kids because I can give them whatever a father can.”“Ms. Daugherty, are you overestimating yourself?” Duke’s voice was a little deep. “There are some things that a mother can never give.”Adina pursed her pink lips.She looked up indifferently and gently asked, “What about you, Mr. Winters? Why haven’t you thought about giving Harold a complete family?”Duke’s gaze became stony and profound.His lips were filled with coldness as he spoke indifferently. “Because it’s not necessary.”If he married a woman he did not love for the sake of the children, the rest of his life might be miserable.Adina smiled faintly.She realized that she and Duke were quite similar in some ways.She did not want to compromise and marry a man she did not love for the sake of her children.Meanwhile, this man would not marry Harold’s biological mother for Harold either.Buzz!The vibration of someone’s phone interrupted their c
Adina anxiously clenched her fists.To hire Brenden, she told Duke about her unpleasant past.She revealed those things in hopes that Duke would introduce her to Brenden.If Brenden was willing to file the lawsuit for her, she would be able to keep her custody of the kids.Displeasure flashed past Duke’s eyes.He knew that she had two children, but he had never connected her with any man.When he heard her talking about the children’s father, he suddenly realized that she would have had to sleep with a man to birth two kids.The thought of something happening between her and another man five years ago… When he remembered that she had given birth to two kids for another man, his heart became filled with gloom. It flooded him like raging waves, suffocating him a little.He did not know why he felt like that.He just knew that he was very uncomfortable.Why was the adorable and pretty Melody Tyson’s daughter?Why was the brilliant and cunning Alden Tyson’s son?Melody call
Dew was a venomous snake. If she did not pay attention, she would be bitten.Adina said, “We better let Harold eat in my house. I’m used to my own kitchen.”Duke stared at her and calmly said, “What are you afraid of?”Adina knew this man was brilliant and she could not hide anything from him.She did not beat around the bush and just said, “We met Dew in the Winters family villa previously, and she nearly injured Mel. I don’t want to take the risk again.”Duke suddenly broke into a faint smile.He lowered his head and said, “Why do I feel like you’re jealous?”Adina instantly widened her eyes. “Stop talking nonsense. Who’s jealous? When did you see me being jealous?”“Okay, you’re not jealous.”Duke shrugged.Adina was speechless.She was not jealous in the slightest! Why would she be jealous? Was this man not too narcissistic? If she did not want him to do her a favor, she would have chased him and his son out!“Don’t worry, Dew Daugherty won’t be coming over to the Win
At 3.00 pm, Adina drove to the office building that she had visited yesterday.The building’s entrance was quiet today. Nobody was around. Only two security guards watched the entrance.As soon as she parked her car, a black car parked beside her. Duke stepped out after he pushed the car door open.Adina unfastened her seatbelt before she also got out of her car.The two of them walked toward the office building side by side, and nobody stopped them.Duke took the elevator and walked to an office in a familiar way. He raised his arm, knocked on the door, and directly pushed it open.“You really came to find me. I thought you were messing with me!” The man sitting in the office chair stood up. Before he continued, he saw Adina behind Duke. He was slightly surprised as he asked, “When did you get yourself such a beautiful secretary?”“She’s not my secretary,” Duke answered coldly.Adina smiled faintly and took a step forward. “Hi, Mr. Watson. I’m Adina Daugherty. Mr. Winters and
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,
