Mr. Brown opened his mouth several times, but he did not know how to answer.Adina spoke as she washed the dishes. “Dew is his birth mother. It won’t do him any good if word gets out about how he’s treating her.” “Well, Young Master Harold is still young. He doesn’t understand what a birth mother means.” Mr. Brown explained. “Young Master Harold has always disliked her ever since he could remember. He has never called her mom. Even so, Young Master George has never called her mom either. He did call her mother, which comes across as rather impersonal.” Adina lowered her eyes and said, “George is a child with self-restraint and propriety. If he is willing to call Dew mother, that means he acknowledges her. “Young Master George is good to his mother indeed. He prepares all sorts of gifts for Ms. Dew every year. This villa has a room on the second floor that is filled with clothes, bags, and shoes that Young Master George bought for Ms. Dew.” On that note, Mr. Brown let out anothe
He was not a man who was used to running away from problems. He had only postponed it repeatedly because he had not figured out how to tell her yet. But now that this woman had brought it up, he had to clear things up with her. “Dew is George and Harold’s mother,” Duke said in a low voice. Adina clenched her fingers. Although she had learned that truth a long time ago, her heart still sank when she heard it from this man. She curled her lips, feigning aloofness, and let out a faint smile. “No wonder Harold likes me so much. It turns out that I am her aunt. The children should be considered cousins. No wonder they can get along well.” Her tone was relaxed. However, Duke could hear a faint hint of sarcasm in it. He stared at her and said, enunciating each word, “Five years ago, Trent got me drunk. He sent a woman into my room. I slept with Dew while I was blacked out. After that night, I tried to find her, but it was as if she had disappeared off the face of the earth.
Harold was sitting on the floor. His eyes shone brightly. Adina’s figure was reflected in his eyes. He was thoroughly convinced that Auntie Adina would pick him up. Adina could not help but take a step back as she looked at him. She did not understand why, but at that moment, the faces of her children who died as babies came to her mind. Those two children who died just after they were born had turned into the nightmare that constantly haunted her. Their deaths were the source of all her pain. How could Dew’s sons be alive and well while her sons rotted in the ground? How could Dew’s sons become the most honored young masters of the Winters family, while her sons could not even look at this wonderful world? And what about her? What was she doing? She actually cooked for Dew’s sons and treated them as if they were her own! How could she face her dead children? Her two sons would not have died as babies if it had not been for Dew. Adina's eyes were suddenly red an
Mr. Brown saw that the expression on his face was icy. His eyes were stone-cold. His thin lips were tightly pursed. A sullen aura surrounded him, but at the same time, Mr. Brown caught a hint of helplessness on his face. Helplessness? So, Master did not know what happened either? Or he knew what happened, but he just did not know how to resolve it? Mr. Brown scratched his chin and sighed with great concern. When it came to making up with a woman, he knew nothing about it either. Otherwise, he would not have been single for decades. “Buzz buzz.” Just then, Duke’s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID, Trent. It was always about drinking and having fun when this guy called. He was about to hang up the call when his finger suddenly paused. Trent Sunderland, the second son of the Sunderland family, the famous playboy in Sea City. He got a new girlfriend every three days. When it came to understanding women, no one in the circle could outmatch him. Duke pressed the an
Trent drank a gulp of the wine. He smirked and said, “You brought it upon yourself. Why would you bring up the two little guys’ real mother? I don’t think any woman would feel fine with hearing their partner talking about their exes, especially since you have had two children together. It’s easy for her mind to conjure up some age-inappropriate images.” Duke spoke in a deep voice, “Why would women not want to hear their partner talking about their exes?” “Why else do you think? They would get jealous, of course!” Trent snorted. “The more a woman cares about you, the more she cares about the existence of your ex. The moment you bring up your ex in front of her, she would start assuming that you still care about the other woman, and that makes her jealous. When she’s jealous, she’s mad. When she’s mad, she doesn’t want to talk to you anymore.” Duke looked up. “Are you saying that she cares about me?” “Well, what do you think? Why else would she be mad at you?” Trent rolled hi
“Dew is George and Harold’s mother. We won’t be going to the Winters family’s mansion anymore, right?”Alden raised his gaze and asked solemnly. Adina pursed her lips. “I don’t think I can face Dew’s sons and remain rational. It’s better if we don’t go there anymore.”“They’re Uncle Duke’s sons.” Alden continued, “He’s special to you, isn’t he?”Adina’s heart skipped a beat.She took a deep breath and said calmly, “He’s not someone special to me. He’s just my working partner, that’s all.”Alden’s phone started vibrating in his pocket. He wiped his hands and took out his phone. Someone had emailed him a document. [Paternity Test Report]He narrowed his eyes as he opened the email. His gaze fell on the last line of text.Although he had expected this, he was still in disbelief. He locked his phone, raised his head, and asked, “Mel has called Uncle Duke ‘daddy’. Mother, have you thought of getting together with him? With that, Mel can call him ‘daddy’ for real, then.”Adin
“Is Harold Winters here?”The rider asked loudly as he stood outside the mansion, holding the thermos lunch box. Harold hurriedly ran over. “That’s me. What’s the matter?”“Here’s your delivery. Please sign here.”The rider handed the box to him and left the winding mountain. Harold brought the box into the mansion and opened the boxes. He took in the familiar scent. Tears streamed down his cheeks uncontrollably. “Oh, Young Master Alden. Why are you crying?” Colin gave Harold a piece of paper. “These are Ms. Daugherty’s food, aren’t they? She cooked buffalo wings, frittata, and salsa salad. These are all your favorite food. Don’t cry. Let’s eat them while they are warm…”Harold said as he sobbed, “Is Auntie Adina really not coming? Why? I miss her? I miss Melody… Boohoo, Mr. Brown, what did I do wrong? Why doesn’t Auntie Adina want me anymore…?”Colin had no idea how to comfort Alden. There was no way he could give him an explanation.Just as he was trying to think of s
Duke shifted his cold gaze to Harold. “Are you telling me what to do?”Harold’s arrogance was quickly suppressed. He mumbled, “It’s your fault. What’s so hard to apologize for?”George frowned. “What did dad do?”Duke wanted to know as well.Harold snorted a little. “Whatever it is, you’re at fault. Auntie Adina wouldn’t be angry at you for no reason!”After that, he turned and climbed on the chair. He started opening the lunch boxes and gobbling up the food. “Hmm! Tasty! This is so delicious! Auntie Adina’s buffalo wings are getting tastier!”He did not care how he looked. He stuffed his mouth with chicken wings like a squirrel. George knew that Harold was a notoriously picky eater. He was now curious to know how tasty the buffalo wings actually were… Harold saw George staring at his lunch box. He hurriedly put his arms around them and said, with his mouth still full, “George, Auntie Adina made this food for me! It’s only enough for one person. Don’t you dare try to e
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.

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,
