She drove steadily and arrived before the Winters family villa very soon.Harold had finished his homework for a long time, and he had been waiting obediently in the living room.Mr. Brown felt comforted. The young master was incredibly mischievous, and he never finished his daily homework on time. Today was the first time.If Ms. Daugherty and Ms. Melody came to the Winters family villa for dinner every day, the young master’s academic performance would definitely improve greatly. It would just be a matter of time before he caught up to Young Master George.The moment the car stopped in front of the villa, Harold rushed out.“Aunt Adina, you’re finally here. I’ve waited for you for a long time!“Mel, your dress is so beautiful today. You look like a princess who just stepped out of the TV!”Harold wanted to hold Melody’s hand, but she avoided him with a cold expression.The boy felt hurt and pouted, but he quickly smiled again. “Mel, I asked Papa Brown to buy a lot of puzzles
He was short, so he could move amongst the crowd. A while later, he disappeared from Lucas’ sight.“Young Master Alden!”Lucas was distressed.Young Master Alden had disappeared from his sight. He had not been kidnapped, had he?Lucas did not even have time to think about why Alden would come to the hospital.He kept searching the crowd, but he still did not spot Alden after more than ten minutes. Just as he planned to ask for help in the hospital’s broadcasting room, he heard a voice behind him. “Uncle Lucas, are you looking for me?”Lucas turned around. When he saw that Alden was uninjured and standing behind him, his tension finally eased. “Young Master Alden, where have you been? You scared me.”“I went to buy some Band-Aids.” Alden raised the items in his hand. “My mom’s feet are worn out from wearing high heels. I went to buy her some Band-Aids.” Lucas wiped his face. “There are Band-Aids at home. Why did you travel so far?”Alden looked down and did not speak again.“
The sky turned dark, and the lights turned on.George got out of the car and looked at the living room where the lights were switched on.Whenever he came home in the past, only the servants would be walking around and cleaning up in the living room. If not, his dad would be sitting on the couch and reading some documents.Right then, the atmosphere under the bright chandelier was warm and harmonious.His dad, who was noble and mighty, was actually sitting on the climbing mat with a few puzzle pieces in his hand.The always mischievous Harold was leaning obediently against the climbing mat without making a fuss.Mr. Brown, who was usually busy, was sitting at the side while holding an ice cream. His wrinkled face broke into a friendly and warm smile.George walked in slowly.The servant, who was standing at the door, immediately greeted him, “Young Master George.”Hearing someone talk, the people on the climbing mat all turned back at the same time.Melody slowly raised her h
He met Melody first and liked her more. Why would this happen?The boy’s eyes became teary and red.Harold could no longer control himself. He rushed over and squeezed George out of the way.“Mel, let me take you over there to play with the puzzle.” Harold grabbed Melody’s hand. “We had so much fun when we were playing with the puzzle. We’ve just completed half of it. Should we go and complete the rest of it?”Melody furrowed her beautiful eyebrows and swung Harold’s hand away with great force.Harold held her hand tightly and refused to let her go.“Harold, don’t you see that Mel’s unhappy?” George frowned and said, “Let go of her.”“I won’t!”Harold was stubborn. He stood up straight and grabbed the girl’s wrist.It was fine if Alden stole Melody from him. That boy was Melody’s biological brother, after all.But why could George steal Melody away too?He liked Melody so much and had done so much for her. Why did she treat him like this?Harold felt so wronged that he want
Alden instantly rushed over and shielded Melody.He glared at George with his cold gaze.He had come to the Winters family villa many times, and he finally met George today.If he had known that George would come home today, he would not have abandoned Melody in the Winters family villa.George looked up and looked at Alden quietly.When their gazes met, there were sparks without smoke.“Ms. Melody, please come with me. I’ll get you some medication. How did your fair wrist become so red? This is heartbreaking.”Mr. Brown walked over with a first aid kit, which eased the tension.Duke carried Melody and sat on the couch at the side. He personally applied the medication for her, and he did so gently.Alden slowly clenched his fists.He could have done the paternity test at any time. He should not have abandoned Melody. That caused her to be injured.“Don’t come near my sister again,” Alden said coldly and firmly.George frowned indifferently. “You and Melody are different ind
The little girl jumped down from the couch and held Alden’s hand. Although she did not speak, her demeanor made it obvious.Alden held her hand and walked outside while he said, “You should stay away from the Winters brothers.”Melody pursed her lips and said in an extremely soft voice, “George…” Alden trembled. When Melody spoke for the first time, she had called Duke “Dad.” When she spoke for the second time, she had also called Duke “Dad.”It was her third time speaking, but she was uttering George’s name.It had only been Melody and George’s first real meeting. Just one meeting was enough for George to enter her world?He took a deep breath and said in a lower voice, “George and Harold are biological siblings, so Dew is also George’s mother.”As soon as he said that, he saw Melody instantly lose all her energy like a deflated balloon.She was like a blooming orchid in the valley that instantly wilted and lost its scent.At that moment, Alden regretted it.Someone else
Adina casually contradicted Ruby, and the woman’s expression changed several times before she flashed her a smile again. “Addy, why did you come back alone? Where are your kids?” she asked.Mdm. Daugherty walked out with a walking stick and looked at Adina’s back with her haggard eyes. She felt a little disappointed as she said, “You didn’t come back with the kids?”As she grew older, she began to enjoy the liveliness of being surrounded by children. She had even prepared some presents for the children.Adina smiled faintly and helped Mdm. Daugherty to sit down.She tucked her hair behind her ear before she nonchalantly said, “My kids are afraid of strangers. I’ll bring them back next time. Grandma, are you feeling better now?”Mdm. Daugherty coughed and said, “It’s the same old problem. I’m just holding on.”Adina glanced around and did not see Dew.She looked down and leisurely asked, “Where’s Dew? Why don’t I see her around?”“Dew has been practicing the piano recently. An e
“There’s nothing to discuss.” Adina’s expression turned hostile, and her voice was indifferent.“Addy, if the kids are really members of the Osborne family, we really need to discuss this.” Mdm. Daugherty sighed and said, “You gave birth to the kids alone, and you’ve worked so hard to raise them. You can’t just raise the kids for the Osborne family for nothing, right?”“I said the kids are mine, and they’re not related to anyone else. I’m not raising the kids for anyone!” Adina’s voice was harsh, and she was also slightly impatient as she faced Mdm. Daugherty.“Addy, Mr. Osborne says that he’ll find a way to divorce his current wife, and he’ll bring you and the kids back to the family in Central City. Then, you’ll be the wife of the chairman of Osborne Corporation. How impressive will that be?! Is there anything bad about that?” Ruby acted like a caring mother as she advised Adina. “The Osborne family is great. They have power in Central City, and Mr. Osborne likes you very much. Wh
