Adina narrowed her eyes. She lifted her leg and kicked up the steel pipe from the ground before she held it with her hand and used it as a weapon.She thought that Earley’s subordinates had come over. When she saw the two kids who appeared at the entrance of the warehouse, she instantly sighed in relief.Then, her indifferent face looked stern. “Why are the two of you here?”“Mommy, I’m glad that you’re fine!”Alden immediately rushed over and held Adina’s waist tightly.His slightly mature face was full of worries and thankfulness.Adina’s heart melted. “Alden, I’m fine. Nothing will happen to me. Don’t worry.”Alden held her tightly, and he gloomily remained silent.George walked over, pursed his pink lips, and said softly, “Alden felt something happened to you and Dad, so he found out your location. Luckily, nothing serious happened.”Adina showed a stern expression while she said, “Don’t do this again. The two of you are just kids. How could you run out of the house in the
Only after the car disappeared from her sight did she allow the remaining two bodyguards to send Duke to the emergency room.“Mr. Winters’ injuries are minor, but the back of his head has taken a rather hard hit.” The doctor held the examination report and said, “It was an armed weapon, so there is a small area of bruising on his brain. Theoretically, this bruise won’t affect him much. His body will absorb it in half a month.”When Adina heard what the doctor said, she sighed in relief. “Does he need to be in the hospital for half a month?”“That’s not necessary. He will just stay for three days for observation.”Duke was pushed to the ward. When Adina saw him lying on the bed with a pale face, she felt very conflicted.Not long ago, this man was shot by Dew in order to save Georgie, and he also laid in the hospital for a few days.He had not recovered from his previous injury, and now he had been injured again.She leaned on the chair beside the bed, held her forehead, and clos
It was extremely silent in the ward, except for some light dripping from the infusion tube.Duke smelled the fresh scent of Adina’s hair, and he stared at her side profile.The soft light of the night cast a shadow on her face, which filled her indifferent countenance with gentleness, and his face was reflected in her black eyes.He suddenly lost his cool.He turned sideways to kiss her cheek, but there were at least ten centimeters between them.Even though he tried to inch forward slightly, his head was injured, and he felt dizzy. Hence, he was unable to move at all.Duke felt annoyed as he moved his hand. His left hand was injured, but he was not receiving an infusion through it, so he could still move it.He raised his left hand slowly and grabbed Adina’s sweet-smelling hair.Adina was stunned.She turned to the side and caught Duke’s profound eyes.Although this man was bedridden, his eyes were also full of ferocity and intensity.After she took a step back, she realize
Duke resembled Harold a lot at that moment. He actually looked cute.Wait, what the heck?! Did she actually think Mr. Winters, the CEO, was cute?Meanwhile, Duke felt extremely upset.He had prepared greatly for his confession, but an accident happened unexpectedly.In fact, even without this accident, his confession was also a failure because he had apparently blurted everything out last night.Plus, he could not remember what he had done and said the night before.“Duke, you better lie down and rest. We can talk about this after you recover.”Adina raised her hand and tucked him in.Even though she already had an answer for him, she did not know how to say it.She had four kids, but this was the first time that a man had confessed to her in person.It took all of her strength to fake indifference when she tucked him under the blanket.“No, I’m not done talking.”Duke grabbed her wrist from the back.Even if his confession was destined to fail, he still wanted to say what
Adina picked up the blood-stained suit from the bin.She lifted it and felt something in the pocket. When she touched it, she was instantly stunned.It was… Her heart fluttered again.She pursed her lips and only managed to school her expression after a few seconds.She walked to the bed and handed Duke the suit. “Here it is.”He took the suit, not minding that it was dirty. He just searched the pocket before he took out a small red box.He looked up at Adina before he said in a soft and gentle tone, “Addy, will you marry me?”He lifted the lid of the box, revealing a dazzling pink diamond ring.The ring had been perfectly cut, and it gleamed under the light, sparkling before Adina’s eye.If the accident today had not happened, the proposal he prepared would have been perfect.But they were now in a small ward. There were no roses and romance. There was only the pungent smell of disinfectant and dripping sounds of infusion.Yet, her heart seemed to be wrapped by the softes
However, she was fiddling with her fingers now. She lowered her head, and her lashes kept trembling.“I was too eager.”Duke slowly spoke and broke the silence in the ward.“It’s okay if we don’t get married first, but can we be engaged?”“Engaged?”Adina looked surprised as she raised her head.“Yes, engaged.” Duke stared at her affectionately. “You’re too outstanding. Many men in Sea City have their eyes on you. I’m afraid that you’ll choose someone else one day.”When Adina saw the way he looked, she suddenly felt conflicted.This man had the top status and all the women in Sea City wanted to marry him, yet he had such low self-esteem.He would only show his vulnerable side in front of someone he was deeply in love with, right?Adina quietly stared at him while she slowly answered, “Okay.”“Did you just agree?”Duke’s eyes instantly lit up.He could not control himself, raising his arm to pull the woman into his embrace.However, as he raised his arm, it was pulled bac
Mrs. Winters held Melody in one arm while she held Harold’s hand. George and Alden followed her from the back.When the group of five appeared in the hospital’s corridor, they immediately attracted 100% of all the nurses’ and doctors’ attention.However, it was a private hospital. Those who were admitted there were wealthy and noble. The nurses and doctors dared not gossip about them, consciously leaving after taking a few glances.“Is Daddy injured?” Melody held Mrs. Winters’ neck and softly asked. Her big eyes were teary.Mrs. Winters’ heart melted. “No. How could your daddy be injured? He’s just not feeling well, so he came to the hospital for an examination.”Melody blinked and looked at the door of the ward. “Why isn’t Daddy coming to open the door?”As soon as she spoke, the door opened.When Adina saw the children at the door, she asked in surprise, “Why are all of you here?”Mrs. Winters explained, “Mel said she dreamed that something happened to Duke last night, and sh
He knew that his head was wrapped in gauze, but what was so funny about that?Besides, what was wrong with a man not shaving his beard? Was it hilarious?He looked at Adina gloomily and noticed that she was pursing her lips, trying to hold in her laughter.Did this mean that he had confessed to Adina with such a hilarious appearance last night?“Mommy, you find dad funny too, right?” Harold tugged on Adina’s arm as he laughed and asked.Duke’s expression darkened.Adina cleared her throat and said, “Hal, don’t laugh at your dad like that.”“Yeah, I can’t laugh at Dad, or else he’ll beat me up after he recovers.”Harold stuck his tongue out and hid behind Adina.Duke was at a loss for words.When did he beat this brat up? Harold really knew how to create rumors and ruin his reputation!Duke cast a glance at Adina and explained, “Addy, I never beat the kids. I’m telling the truth.”“Yes, Dad never beats us. He just punishes us by making us stand at attention.” Harold made a
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,
