Eight o’clock in the morning. After Adina dropped the children off at the preschool, she drove directly to the Winters family’s house. She sat in the car. After making sure that Duke’s car was not in the courtyard of the villa, she opened the door and got out. The courtyard was empty in the early morning, not even a single servant could be seen. Adina stood outside the fence and rang the doorbell. “Ms. Daugherty, what brings you by? Please come in.” Mr. Brown came to open the door for her. He was very surprised to see her standing outside. The two young masters had a big fight last night. The atmosphere in the house was extremely depressing. Now that Ms. Daugherty had come over, Young Master Harold would be overjoyed. Mr. Brown ordered the maid to serve tea to Adina. He said with a smile, “Young Master Harold is still in bed. I will wake him up and tell him to come downstairs.” Adina did not say anything. She sat quietly in the living room and drank the tea. “What
She should be grateful that her sons were still alive. They were still alive. She was glad that they were still alive. This had to be a blessing from God. “Auntie Adina, what’s wrong?” Adina held Harold so tightly that he felt that he could not breathe, though he did not dare to say anything. He was afraid that an embrace like this was fleeting. But the next second, he felt warm tears fall on his cheeks. He looked up and saw Adina’s watery eyes. Her tears were falling down uncontrollably. He was so panicked that he did not know what to do. “Auntie Adina, what’s wrong? Did I do something wrong again? I’m sorry, Auntie Adina. I won’t be so impudent again.” He hurriedly withdrew from Adina’s embrace. Adina felt a twinge of pain in her heart. Over the past few days, she chose not to come to the Winters family’s residence and ignored Harold on purpose. This boy must have been very heartbroken. He was her son, not Dew’s son! How could she punish her own precious son?
Adina’s cold heart gradually melted.She held Harold’s chubby hand and softly said, “I also like you very much.”Harold’s eyes brightened, as if a galaxy was shining brightly in his eyes.Adina could not bear the sight anymore, or she would not be able to hold herself from crying again.She flipped open the album, gently smiled, and said, “Harold, tell me some interesting things from the time when you and George were even younger.”Harold leaned on Adina’s knees and supported his chin with his arms. “George is very old-fashioned. He acts like an adult. Nothing interesting ever happened to us when we were even younger. Auntie Adina, my brother is boring, but he isn’t a bad person to anyone. Besides, he likes Mel very much. He will never hurt you, since you’re Mel’s mom. Even if he has hurt you, there must be a misunderstanding.”Adin stroked his hair. “I know George is not a bad boy.”Harold sat up straight and said solemnly, “Auntie Adina, I apologize on behalf of my brother. I
Duke indifferently said, “Today is the third review meeting of Project A-F. You’re the primary person-in-charge, yet you’re absent from such an important meeting. Don’t you owe me an explanation?”“Mr. Winters, I’ve passed all the documents of the third review meeting to my assistant, Serene. She has been involved in every session, so she won’t let you down.”Her voice in the call was very indifferent and aloof. Duke could imagine the expression on her face as she spoke.He paused for a while before he indifferently said, “I’ve given the review a read. It’s pretty good. It does not disappoint. I’d like to invite you for dinner tonight. What time are you free?”As soon as he said that, everyone in the room was shocked.All of them looked at the stack of documents in front of Serene.The meeting had not yet even started. The documents related to the review meeting were not even flipped through. When did Mr. Winters read them?Besides, Mr. Winters said that the information had achi
George knew that there would be the third review meeting of Project A-F in Winters Corporation, and he was very interested in the original technical core, so he purposely came over to spectate the meeting. “The meeting ended earlier,” Duke indifferently said, “If you have any question, you can ask Adina personally later.”George pursed his lips. “Doesn’t Auntie Adina refuse to go to the Winters family?”Because he attacked LaStar Technology Corporation, the woman refused to cook for Harold again, and she also did not want to step into the Winters family again.He could not see Adina privately, so he had to come over in the name of work.Unexpectedly, he still could not meet her.Duke indifferently replied, “Adina is now in the Winters family. She is about to make dinner for Harold.”George was slightly surprised. “Really?”Duke nodded.He curled his lips coldly. “If you don’t like Adina, you cannot go back home.”George remained silent for a while before he said softly, “Aun
Duke did not expect her to agree so easily. He smiled faintly. “Okay/”From the passenger seat at the back, George asked, “Dad, are we going to the preschool and pick up Mel?”“Yeah. We’ll go and pick up Mel and Alden.” Duke turned sideways. “If you don’t want to go, you can get out of the car now.”George found himself speechless.Did he look like he did not want to go?“I’ve finished work already. I’m coming along,” George gloomily said.The car was slowly driven out. George turned sideways and looked out the windows at the scenery that passed quickly, while he felt more and more gloomy.He did not know what feeling he was experiencing. It irked him to no end. Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of the preschool.There were still five minutes before the preschool was dismissed.After Ava hung up on a call, she walked to Alden, smiled, and said, “Alden, your mom just called me. She said she has something to do tonight, so she is not free to come and pick you and
The group of four got into the car.Duke was driving at the front, while the three kids sat in the back.George’s cold and serious gaze was tinged with some uncharacteristic tenderness. He took out some colorful candies from his pocket. “Mel, which flavor do you like?”“Mel doesn’t like candies.”Alden indifferently stopped him.George’s hand paused for a while before he stretched out his hand further. “Since Mel doesn’t eat, then you eat them.”The bunch of colorful candies were forcefully stuffed into Alden’s hand by George, which left him no chance to say no.“Harold likes the strawberry one. You can try,” George indifferently said.Alden pursed his lips and softly said, “Thanks.”He usually did not like to eat candies, but he unwrapped a pink strawberry-flavored candy and put it into his mouth now.The sweetness spread across his mouth.The strawberry-flavored candy actually tasted good.When Duke saw the kids’ interaction from the rearview mirror, his indifferent lips
Adina was cleaning up the broken pieces on the floor of the kitchen. When she heard George’s voice, she immediately turned around and looked over.That cold and indifferent small face slowly overlapped with the small, bruised infant face from four years ago.He was her eldest son, the son who was supposedly stillborn.Adina’s tears fell.“Mom, what happened?”Alden immediately rushed into the kitchen. He quickly wiped the tears off Adina.“No… I’m okay!” Adina lowered her head and wiped her tears away. “I rubbed my eyes with my hands after I cut the chilies…” “Auntie Adina, I’ll help blow your eyes.”Harold also walked inside. He leaned close to Adina, pouted, and gently blew.After Melody walked into the kitchen, she held Adina’s arm and also blew.Adina’s heart melted. She held the three kids who surrounded her with her arms, and she softly said, “Mommy is fine. I’m okay…” The scene in the kitchen made George feel gloomy.He also wanted to walk over and lean into Adina’
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,
