However, even if these little brats splurged the Winters family’s money, they would still have enough to last them several lifetimes, so there was no need to put far more important things on hold in order to make money.Duke got closer to the little girl’s ear and whispered, “Could you help me get something from the car?”Mel’s eyes immediately lit up. She was the youngest in their family, and her mommy and brothers never allowed her to do anything. It was the first time someone had asked her to do something, so she jumped out of Duke’s arms and bolted straight to the car that was parked in the yard. She opened the door to the passenger side and immediately exclaimed in awe, “Wow! This is so pretty!”Everyone in the house turned their attention in her direction. They could only see the little ball of fluff coming out of the passenger seat with a bouquet of fiery roses.There were at least ninety-nine roses in that bouquet, and when the little girl held it in her arms, her bod
Four pairs of eyes turned to look at him in sync. Duke was speechless. This woman was trying to set him up. Everyone knew how to sing that song, but he was a man in his twenties. Would it not be hilarious if he sang such a song?What if his image in her mind plummeted only because he sang this song?“You don’t know how to sing the song, Duke?” Adina suddenly said. The way she called his name was too much for him to bear.Hearing her soft voice made him feel as though all the bones in his body had melted.It was also the first time Adina had addressed him in such a manner. Although he was aware of her intentions, he nevertheless gave in without hesitation.He took the microphone, cleared his throat, and started singing along with the accompaniment. “Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes…”Even when he sang upbeat children’s songs, his voice was very low and had a calm tone.Adina stood a meter away and looked at him. He simply stood there, his tall, slender
He drank wine, which they all claimed to be “liquid courage,” but in spite of that, he still felt like a coward.Adina returned after finishing her song, only to find that a big portion of the freshly-opened champagne had already vanished.Duke’s eyes were already unfocused.She was speechless. He claimed to be here to help look after the kids, did he not? He was, however, getting drunk instead.She gave him a quick look before deciding to keep a safe distance from him.The children were having a great time. They were singing, dancing, and playing around, and it was soon ten o’clock at night. After turning off the music, Adina clapped and said, “All right, time for bed, now. Line up and go take a bath, one by one.” The children were really obedient. The three boys proceeded to shower in Alden’s room, while Adina took Mel to the upstairs bathroom.The four kids were already sound asleep in their beds by ten thirty at night.When Adina went downstairs to clean up, she saw Du
“Do you know how thrilled I was to discover that the woman from that night five years ago was you?”The corner of Duke’s lips curled into a smile. Adina observed the smile on his face and thought the Duke in front of her was no different from a kid. The smile on his face was pure, and his eyes were filled with sincerity. She believed every word he said. “I immediately felt really lucky when I realized I was the father of your children, and that you were the mother of my children.” Duke looked at her with his dark eyes and continued, “Addy, our fates became one five years ago, and in the time that has passed, we have missed out on a lot. I don’t ever want to be separated from you again. I like you, Addy. I love you. I, I…”He suddenly stopped midway through his sentence. Adina was feeling even more nervous, and with her breath hitched, she continued to listen to what he was going to say. However, Duke’s hold on her hand went loose all of a sudden, and his arm fell limply t
“I don’t know,” Harold answered with his mouth full of food. “I didn’t see Daddy when I woke up this morning.”George swallowed the food in his mouth and said, “There are a lot of things to take care of at the Winters Corporation. Daddy must’ve gone to work at the company.”“It’s Saturday today. Mr. Duke doesn’t need to go to the company,” Mr. Brown said with a smile. “Is that true, Papa Brown?” George frowned. ‘Although the company staff was not required to work during the weekends, Daddy worked every day of the year, especially since there have been a lot of company affairs recently. Daddy should be in a hurry to deal with them…’“Of course, it is,” Mr. Brown continued. “Mr. Duke has arranged activities for the four of you. I’ll send you kids over after you’re done with breakfast.”“What kind of activity?” Harold asked curiously. “Young Master George, Harold, and Alden are required to take an IQ test at the IQ testing facility.”After hearing Mr. Brown’s words, Harold imme
A group of workers worked in full swing, setting up the venue at International Plaza. The plaza had been transformed into a romantic sea of flowers. The ground was covered in pink rose petals, there were beautiful lilies on two sides, and at the end of the trail of petals was a heart made from red roses.Many passers-by stopped to watch. “Wow, there are so many flowers. It’s so beautiful!”“Although it is lovely, don’t you think such a confession is kind of old-fashioned?”“It is a little out of date, but I think many guys still prefer to go old-school.”Not too far away, Duke’s face gradually darkened. He had spent the entire night browsing the web for ideas before deciding to use this method to express his love. This post had the most likes on it. If it was old-fashioned, then why were there so many people leaving likes on that post? Was it too late for him to regret his choice?Duke took a quick look at his watch; there was less than a half-hour left before the sche
Adina was sitting on the couch while perusing the company’s documents, but she did not register a single word. She looked at her watch now and then, only to find that time was passing by, and the appointment was just around the corner. She was getting more and more nervous.Just then, she received a message.She was so frightened that she jolted up straight. She only opened the message after she took a deep breath.[Addy, I’m sorry, something came up today. I’ll pick you up later, but I’m not sure what time it will be.] Adina’s heart instantly filled with disappointment.Although she had been nervous, she had to admit that she had been looking forward to this date.She was curious to know what this man would say to her.It seemed that it was destined that the date would not happen as planned.She pouted and sent a message. [What a coincidence. I also have work to take care of, so I’ll see you later.]After she sent the message, she sighed helplessly.Initially, she did not
Adina helped Flint walk to the hotel next door to the bar. Earley, who was sitting in the sports car in front of the bar, sneered and the corner of his lips curled up.So this was the woman that Duke had fallen in love with, and the one who went to a hotel with another man behind his back. Duke’s reaction would be fascinating if he discovered she had cheated on him.Earley pulled out his phone and continuously snapped a dozen pictures of Flint and Adina from behind.However, five minutes later, Earley bitterly deleted these photos because he saw Adina leaving the hotel by herself.After settling in Flint at the hotel, Adina pulled open the car door and sat inside. She had to think about whether she ought to go home or the company next.After much thought, she decided to go to the Winters’ mansion, as the several children should have already gone back.She fastened her seat belt and started the engine. The car was driving smoothly on the road. Suddenly, she became aware of a b
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,
