“Come upstairs with me.” Mrs. Winters carried Melody in one arm and held Harold’s hand as she led the children upstairs. “You will have plenty of chances to make it up for the kids, but not tonight.” Duke leaned in and whispered into Adina’s ear, “Tonight is our wedding night. Let’s not waste the evening away.” Adina immediately blushed. He was such a flirt. How could he say something like that with other people present? Mr. Brown took in their interaction, which he interpreted as them flirting. The old man narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, “Mrs. Winters, perhaps you would like to go upstairs and take a look at the bedroom first and see if there is anything else you need.” Adina could feel her gut tighten when she heard the title, Mrs. Winters. It suddenly dawned upon her that she and Duke really were married. She had become a part of the Winters family. “Come on, let’s go upstairs and take a look.” Duke wrapped his arm around her slender waist and steered her
Adina put down her pajamas and walked toward the bathroom door. She knocked on the door and raised her voice to ask, “Duke, are you alright?” “I-I’m fine.” The sound of Duke’s voice, combined with the sound of running water, came from the bathroom. From the sound of his voice, there was indeed nothing wrong. Adina turned around and walked away. Duke was slumped on the bathroom floor at this point, looking extremely miserable. For the first time in his twenty-six years of life, he realized how difficult taking a shower could be. Didn’t the injury on his left leg already heal? Why would it start to spasm when he ran cold water over it? His left leg spasmed, and the bathroom floor was slippery. As a result, he fell miserably to the floor. An eight-foot-tall man lay on the bathroom floor. It was absolutely ridiculous. Duke was so frustrated. He sat on the floor and waited for the spasm to pass before he slowly stood up, holding onto the wall. Then, he picked up th
“Get… Get a bath towel on first. Then, I will help you up.” Adina said as she closed her eyes tightly. Duke threw open his arms and said, “My left arm feels powerless. I can’t lift it up. I wouldn’t have called you here otherwise.” Adina was speechless. Adina took a deep breath and opened her eyes a little bit. She scanned the bathroom and quickly found the bath towel. She pulled it off the rack and threw it on him. “Wrap it around you, now!” Duke let out a stifled laugh. Why did she look so cute when she was shy? He let out a subtle sigh and said, “Give me a hand. I really don’t have much strength.” Adina wished she could kick him away. She took a deep breath and hastily wrapped the towel around his body. In the midst of her panic, her hand touched his body. It was as cold as ice. Only then did she notice that there was not a trace of heat in the bathroom. She frowned and said, “Your injury is not yet healed. How could you take a cold shower? What if you catch
The temperature in the bedroom rose. Mrs. Winters and Mr. Brown exchanged eye contact with each other at the door of the room. An understanding smile appeared on their faces. “Mrs. Winter, I will have the cook make the oyster stew. Master can have some when he wakes up tomorrow.” Mrs. Winters nodded her head. “And make some asparagus soup. It’s good for women’s bodies.” “Why would Mommy need to drink asparagus soup?” A pure and delicate voice was heard. Mrs. Winters and Mr. Brown turned around. They saw Melody look at them with big eyes and a face full of innocence. Behind the girl were her three brothers. Harold asked suspiciously, “Mr. Brown, did I hear you say oyster stew? Why would Daddy need oyster stew?” Mr. Brown smiled dryly. “Your daddy got injured, didn’t he? Oysters are good for his health.” Alden frowned. “I remember reading from a book that oysters are an aphrodisiac.” Harold fulfilled the spirit of asking questions without feeling shy and pursuing know
She was startled, and she jumped out of the man’s hold before nervously asking, “Do you feel uncomfortable?”“The back of my head hurts a little.” Duke put his palm against his temple and said, “The doctor prescribed some medicine for me. Can you please bring me two pills from the drawer on the left?”Adina hurriedly went to grab the medicine and poured him a glass of warm water. “I think it’s better for you to stay in the hospital and be monitored for a few days,” she said after waiting for Duke to take the medication. Duke lay on the bed. His raven eyes were trained at the woman, and he softly said, “Our wedding is just around the corner. It’s the most important day of our lives, so how could I wait for the day to come while lying in a hospital bed? I will do the necessary preparations on my own.”“Other than the fitting for the groom’s dress suit, there’s nothing else you have to prepare on your own.”Adina strongly disagreed. He already faced so many troubles on the first
About five chefs stood at the dining hall’s entrance, each with a smile on their faces and teasing looks. “Cough!” Adina nearly choked to death from her own saliva. That meant that her and Duke’s ‘activities’ from last night were known to all the mansion’s servants…Mabel walked over to Adina with a smile and said, “You’re up early, Adina. Have some saffron chicken stew. It’s nourishing for women and…” “T-thank you, Mrs. Winters.”Adina lowered her head and drank her stew, not even daring to look at the people around her.This morning was the most embarrassing one she ever had in her whole twenty-three years of living. She wanted to bury herself in a hole.She felt very frustrated at the thought of Duke still sleeping soundly. But at that very moment, a well-rehearsed “Good morning, Mr. Duke” echoed in the dining hall in unison. Adina subconsciously turned around to see Duke enter the dining hall while dressed in a silver suit.Who could have imagined the tenderness and
Duke and Adina, on the other hand, went to try out their wedding outfits. “I want to see you in your wedding dress,” Duke went close to Adina’s ear and whispered. “Wait till the day of the wedding,” Adina teased with a bright grin. “Just five more days.”The woman smiled shyly. The man had gentle eyes. The store staff all looked at them with envy as the two came inside the bridal store together.“Mr. Winters and Miss Daugherty are so deeply in love. They look very happy.”“Miss Daugherty has four children, a man who loves her, and she is only twenty-three years old. She’s really winning in life.”“The four children that came to try on the clothes yesterday all have such a strong resemblance to Mr. Winters. Even the young girl took after her father.”“I think the children’s eyes look more like Miss Daugherty’s…”The storekeepers continued gossiping about the couple. The staff members quickly introduced the groom’s dress suit to Adina and Duke as soon as they took a seat in t
Dillon let out a low sigh. He had missed out on her for twenty-three years, and it was really hard to try to make it up to her. He would not hesitate to get in touch with his daughter if she was struggling in life.But now that Addy had become the Winters family’s young lady, it would be easy to interpret his actions as an attempt to establish a connection with powerful people.Dillon got up, walked away for a few steps, turned back again, and slowly walked back. He then placed a box on the table and said, “Miss Daugherty, I think we have hit it off quite well. Think of it as a gift from an elder to a youngster.”Adina was startled. She glanced at the box and was not sure what was inside, but it was impossible for her to accept a gift from a stranger. “Mr. Jones, I don’t have a habit of accepting someone’s gift for no reason. Please take it back,” she said calmly. Dillon’s hand went stiff, but he still opened the box and quietly said, “This is a jade necklace, and it match
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,
