When Ethan heard the noise, he immediately got up and went outside.He had met the young masters of the Winters family at least once, but this was his first time meeting them after finding out that they were his nephews.He searched his body and realized that he did bring any gifts he could give them.“Uncle Ethan.”Alden was the first to speak, politely greeting Ethan.Right after he spoke, three other voices were heard.“Uncle Ethan!”“Uncle Ethan!”“Uncle Ethan!”Harold and George obediently stood at the door. They blinked and appeared cool as well as obedient.“Hello!” Ethan immediately answered before he lowered his voice and said, “Addy, this is the first time you’ve brought them here. Why didn’t you call me in advance? I didn’t prepare anything!”Adina smiled and said, “You don’t have to prepare anything. I just came over to share some good news with you.”Ethan cast a glance at the kids. “It definitely is good news.”When Adina called him some time ago, she had ask
“Uncle Richard.”Mdm. Xavier and Richard were stunned.Who were the two other children next to Melody and Alden?Ethan cleared his throat and said, “Addy didn’t let me tell you, so I’ve been keeping it a secret. Now, I can finally tell you. These two children are the young masters of the Winters family, and they’re Addy’s biological sons.”“What did you just say?” Mdm. Xavier was taken aback for a while before she immediately responded, “The news said Addy’s two sons died, but they weren’t…” She looked at George and Harold’s faces with a complicated gaze.Adina sat down beside Mdm. Xavier and spoke in a gentle voice. “That night four years ago, I gave birth to quadruplets. Georgie and Harold weren’t breathing when they were born, so Dew Daugherty deceived me by telling me that they were dead. Then, she carried them away. After I gave birth to Alden and Mel, I ran away from the Daugherty family.”She calmly explained the incident that had happened four years ago, and the living
“D*mn it!”Sophia kicked the tea table. She was so furious that she nearly fainted.Morganna was no better. “Like mother, like daughter. Olivia Xavier hooked up with Young Master Jones, but she still got kicked to the curb. Adina doesn’t think she can increase her status and become Mrs. Winters after she birthed four kids for the Winters family, does she?” Morganna mocked.Sophia turned around. “Mom, what do you mean? I don’t quite get it.”“Olivia Xavier is Adina’s mother. She died not long after she gave birth to Adina.” Morganna scoffed. “Xavier family was also a big reputable family at that time, and Daugherty Corporation had not been established yet. Look, Olivia was the Xavier family’s daughter. Why would she lower her status and marry a poor guy who had nothing?”“Why?”“It’s because she had slept with Young Master Jones and become second-hand goods, hence she needed to marry Aaron Daugherty!” Morganna said contemptuously. “Aaron is trash. After he established Daugherty Co
The Jones family had about a hundred years of history in Sea City. They were a family with a rich heritage. After they got involved in the business industry a few decades ago, they became highly successful. Soon, they became one of the four biggest families in Sea City.Mr. Jones was ruthless, and he had a son as well as a daughter. His son was Dillon, while his daughter was Zhenny. She was Mdm. Jones, who had a conflict with Adina due to the position of Elitos chief designer for chip development. Zhenny had a daughter called Jasmine Yackley, who happened to be the girl who kept going after Flint.Adina smiled faintly.What a coincidence! She actually had conflicts with both Zhenny and Jasmine.She swiped over the information about Zhenny and Jasmine before she read about Dillon. He was fifty years old but only had one son. His wife had passed away about two decades ago, and he had remained single until now.The Internet’s review of him was quite good, but his skills were worrying
When Duke looked at the empty ward in the hospital, he felt quite gloomy.He was severely injured, and the woman who had just become his fiancee disappeared for the whole afternoon.He held his phone with hesitance for a while, struggling repeatedly before finally making a call.His call was answered after two beeps.Both parties did not speak, but Duke could hear the children’s laughter from the other end of the line.He, the father, was bedridden and unable to move, while the brats were laughing happily.Duke pursed his gorgeous lips and nonchalantly said, “I’m hungry.”Adina was speechless.Hungry?Were there no bodyguards and caretakers in the hospital? He was a CEO. As long as he instructed it, food would be delivered in a minute. He was not asking her to cook and deliver food to him, was he?She paused for a while and said, “I’ll make some food and deliver it to you after I bring the children back to the Winters family villa later.”After that, she seemed to recall som
As George spoke, the children walked toward the restroom in an orderly manner.The moment they got in, George locked the restroom door.Five minutes later, the four children returned to the dining table. Mdm. Xavier could not help but pamper these good-looking and smart kids. She kept adding food to their plates.When the sky turned dark, dinner finally came to an end.Just as Adina placed her children into the car, George said, “Mommy, after you send us home, you can go and visit Dad in the hospital.”Melody kept nodding. “Yeah, Mommy. I can take good care of myself.”Harold pouted. “Mommy, you can go to the hospital and accompany Dad.”Alden remained silent for a few seconds before he said, “Mommy, if it’s too late after you’re done accompanying Dad, you don’t have to rush back. I’ll take good care of Mel.”Adina found herself speechless.Did these kids come to an agreement behind her?She was very curious about how George convinced Alden.Alden pursed his lips. “Mommy, Da
Adina felt defeated too.She sat by the bed before she lifted the lid of the porridge. She spooned up some, put it to the man’s lips, and calmly said, “Open your mouth.”Duke opened his mouth obediently.The bland porridge swirled around on his lips and tongue before he swallowed it.It was the most delicious porridge that he had ever eaten.He smiled faintly and slowly said, “I want more.”“Do you know what you look like now?” Adina looked at him with a faint smile and asked in a meaningful way.Duke did not understand. “What do I look like?”Adina wanted to say “a stray dog,” but she held back.“You look like Harold,” she said helplessly.“You’re wrong. He should be the one who looks like me.” Duke did not feel embarrassed at all. “He’s my son. If he doesn’t look like me, who else could he look like?”Okay.Adina could not argue back.As though she had surrendered to fate, she kept feeding Duke again and again.That went on until someone else suddenly pushed open the wa
“Since you already have four kids, shouldn’t you get married?” Trent casually asked. “Let me make this clear. I want to be your best man!”Duke pursed his lips. “She doesn’t want to get married so soon. I respect her opinion.”“Mr. Winters, when did you learn to respect other people’s opinions?” Trent rolled his eyes. “I think you haven’t controlled that woman! But it’s not your fault. She’s gorgeous and good at martial arts. Not many men in the world can handle her! I guess it’s probably because of the kids that she agreed to marry you…” Trent kept nagging him. When Duke cast a cold and piercing gaze over, Trent scoffed and softly said, “I’m just stating the facts, okay? If I had four kids with her, she would agree to marry me too. Okay, I’ll stop talking now. Hey, why are you still hitting me when you’re injured? Eilam, let’s get out of here!”Trent crawled and rolled to escape.The ward was finally quiet.But Duke’s expression was dour.Even though he could not accept it, he
