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
The temperature in the ward instantly increased.She was not an innocent girl who had not experienced anything. Although she did not quite understand most things of a sexual nature, she still had some knowledge… She knew that things would really get out of control if she let Duke continue kissing her.“Stop… Stop kissing me…” Adina raised her arms and lightly moved the man’s chest away.Duke held the back of her head and rested his forehead against hers. His voice was hoarse and low. “I still want to kiss you. What should I do?”Adina’s face turned red, and her heart pounded quickly again.She bit her swollen bottom lip. She felt shy and irritated as she said, “The ward door isn’t closed.”“I’ll go and close it now.”As Duke spoke, he tried to jump off the bed.Adina was speechless.Did he mean that?She quickly pressed him down. “You haven’t recovered. Don’t walk around. Just lie down.”When Duke raised his head, he saw her glowing eyes and slightly swollen red lips. He
When she got closer, she realized that Flint looked different today.His eyes were bloodshot, and it looked like he did not sleep last night. He was a playboy who cared about his reputation the most. Yet, his suit was wrinkled, and his beard was sloppy. He was holding a cigarette with his fingers. He looked through the corridor before he stared at Adina gloomily.“What’s wrong with you?” Adina frowned. “What happened this time?”Every time Flint came to her in Sea City, something would be wrong. She was used to it.“I heard that you’re getting engaged?”When Flint spoke, his voice was incredibly hoarse as if his vocal cords were ruined.Adina was surprised.She finally understood why Flint looked like that.Some things had been said many times before, but clearly, Flint had not been really listening.She pursed her lips and said, “I’m getting married to Duke. We’ll be engaged on the sixth of next month, and the wedding won’t be too long after the engagement. If you have the ti
Flint’s gaze became profound and cold.He stared at Jasmine with a sneer and said, “So, do you think you have a chance to be with me?”“It doesn’t matter if I have the chance or not. You shouldn’t be with a woman like Adina again!” Jasmine gritted her teeth and said, “She has two kids, and they’re illegitimate children with an unknown father. You’re the young master of the Morton family. You should—” “Shut up!”Flint stopped her from finishing her sentence.His eyes were filled with coldness. “I asked Adina for help to reject you because I wanted to defend your dignity. Who the heck are you to criticize Adina?”After he said that, he glanced at Jasmine with contempt. Then, he turned around and left.Jasmine was so angry that she trembled.She and Flint had been in a relationship a few years ago. But after she fell in love with him, Flint broke up with her.She never forgot him all these years.After she finally met him again, she put aside the reservation and restraint that
She just wanted her Uncle Dillon to teach Adina a lesson. Was it that difficult?“Uncle Dillon, do you know that this woman’s really vicious? She’s extremely arrogant because of her beauty. She even insulted us by calling me ugly and the Jones family rude.”“Is that true?” Dillon’s expression darkened. “How dare she torment the Jones family. Is she trying to disrespect us?”“Have you heard of the most beautiful woman in Sea City, Uncle Dillon? She’s gorgeous, but she shouldn’t insult us like this.” Jasmine faked her tears while she took out her phone and tapped on a photo. “Look, she seems so sycophantic. My boyfriend’s attracted to her because she used many tricks to seduce him. I really love my boyfriend. Uncle Dillon, you have to avenge me!”She kept talking but did not receive any reply.When she turned around, she saw Dillon staring at her phone screen. He even reached out to grab her phone.Jasmine was confused, so she frowned and asked, “Uncle Dillon, what’s wrong?”Dillo
The Internet was swept up in a wave of opinion.[Oh, my god! Where did this gossip come from? The most beautiful woman in Sea City and the CEO of Winters Corporation? How can the two of them get engaged? This has to be a rumor!][Ms. Daugherty was the most beautiful woman in Sea City five years ago. At that time, she was still an innocent girl, so perhaps she was good enough for Duke Winters back then. But now… she’s just a second-hand woman. She’s not good enough for Mr. Winters, right?][Besides, she still has two illegitimate kids. Have you forgotten about the fuss between her and Tyson Osborne? If her kids don’t belong to Tyson, whose kids could they be? Duke Winters wouldn’t raise someone else’s kids, would he?][How could a woman with two illegitimate children become the future Mrs. Winters?][This news has to be a rumor. Someone is purposely spreading rumors!]The netizens basically did not believe their engagement. While they discussed, they brought up Adina’s past and in
