“Why didn’t you want to tell me about this?”Adeena’s steps closed in on Jada, and she had an imperious gaze.Jada looked down. “When you first came to stay with our family, you had nightmares every night. You muttered in your sleep, ‘Don’t hurt my baby…’ I thought you and your baby were being hunted and that you ended up jumping into the sea. You were swept onto the shore by the waves and survived, but I don’t think your child had the same good fortune… Adeena, I didn’t want you to get hurt, that’s why I didn’t mention it to you.”All the blood drained from Adeena’s lips.She closed her eyes and clenched her fists tightly.On the way back from the hospital to the Willis family’s mansion, she had thought of countless possibilities, but she never thought that her child had died…“Adeena, don’t be sad, you can still have children…” Jada watched her nervously. “I’ll find you a good match. You’re still young, you’ll definitely have children of your own one day…”“I won’t marry,” Ade
Kendry narrowed his eyes and looked at the flourishing rattan in the courtyard.The Willis family had indeed owed Adeena back then, so when Jada wanted to take her in, he had immediately agreed.But she had lived with them for three years, and deep inside, he felt that his adopted daughter was not that easy to control. Sometimes at family meetings, whenever he met his adopted daughter’s eyes, he would feel a bit intimidated.“That child is dead, and there’s nothing we can do about it. Right now, she has to get married as soon as possible and have another child. When she cares for someone new, she’ll stop caring about that dead baby,” Kendry said in a cold voice. “Doesn’t Ruth have two cousins who are looking for potential suitors? What do you think about setting Adeena up with one of them?”Jada froze. “This…”“When she becomes a member of the Willis family and gives birth to a Willis child, then she won’t come after the Willis family in the future,” Kendry said slowly. “I’ll le
She looked to be about eight or nine years old, with long, black hair that reached her shoulders, a pink bow on her head, and serene, grape-like eyes.She seemed unfazed by the surrounding comments. She remained calm and made no unnecessary expressions on her face. She looked to be only eight or nine years old, but her gaze belonged to a girl ten years older.Adeena stared at her a bit longer, and the more she stared, the more she wanted to stay staring. For some reason, this little girl seemed very familiar to her.But Adeena usually did not listen to piano music, and nor did she attend piano concertos. So she would not have encountered this little girl, but why did she seem so familiar?“Young Lady Melody, please get in.”The bodyguards pulled open the car door and respectfully asked the young lady to get in.The girl nodded. As she bent down and was about to get into the car, she suddenly froze.She felt an intense gaze. People often stared at her, and she was usually the f
The little girl’s sorrowful cries echoed in Adeena’s ears.The surrounding onlookers were shocked.“Why is the genius pianist latching on to that woman and crying out ‘mother’?”“I was fortunate enough to attend Melody’s concert once. She played ‘To Mother’, which is said to be about how she misses her mother.”“Did she not have a mother?”“But she shouldn’t call a random woman her mother. Look, the woman is stupefied.”“If it were me, I would have pissed myself. To suddenly have a daughter that old...”“It would be great if Melody called me her mother. I would warmly call her a ‘good girl’ for sure. That must be it! I’m Melody’s fan, but I treat her like a daughter!”“Not with how shabby you look. Stop daydreaming!”Adeena was at a loss for words.Melody’s crying and the chattering of the surrounding people converged into a chaotic buzzing in Adeena’s ears.She took a deep breath and said, “Little girl, I’m really not your mommy. But if you miss your mommy, I can keep you c
Initially, she wanted to ask who else was in her family, but Adeena recalled what the onlookers had said about how the girl might not have a mother, so she did not ask anymore.Melody stared at her with sparkling eyes. “Mommy, are you from Cloud City?”Adeena could not help but smile. “Just call me Aunt Deena, not Mommy. I really don’t have a daughter as old as you.”These words almost made Melody cry.This person before her eyes clearly had her mommy’s appearance. But when she looked closely, there were some differences.Had she made a mistake?No, she would never mistake her mommy.“You are my mommy,” Melody said stubbornly with tears in her eyes. “Daddy has been searching for you for four years, Mommy. Where have you been all these years?”Adeena was startled. “Your mommy disappeared four years ago?”Melody nodded. “Mommy left in the middle of the night and never returned. You don’t remember what happened that day?”An ordinary night had become an unspeakable nightmare for
Melody bit her lower lip.Even if the mommy she remembered was a hot-tempered person, she still missed her and hoped that she would come home.“What’s wrong, Mel? Why aren’t you eating? Is the food not to your liking?” Adeena smiled and asked with a gentle look in her eyes.The tears almost flowed from Melody’s eyes.‘Mommy wasn’t this gentle and soft before… Did I really make a mistake?’“Don’t cry.” Adeena promptly wiped her tears. “Since you insist on me being your mommy, then you can call me Mommy. I don’t mind.”Melody covered her lips as she cried. She sobbingly said, “Can you give me a hug?”“Of course, I can!”Adeena reached her arms out and brought the girl into her arms.This nine-year-old child was already a big girl, yet she lay against Adeena’s shoulder and cried her heart out.Muller, who was close by, quickly took several pictures of them, then he heaved a deep sigh…He had served Young Lady Melody for three years, and he had never seen her look so miserable b
However, Mdm. Willis lived in Clarence Willis’ mansion and did not live them, so they would only meet two or three times a year. Adeena never treated Mdm. Willis with any importance.“Adeena, come here and see what I got for you.” Jada gestured with her hand. “These are a pair of white jade pearl earrings, the best of their kind, and they go really well with your skin color.”Adeena glanced at them. Although she had never been much for jewelry, she could see at a glance that these earrings were indeed of high quality.“Thank you, mother.” She accepted the earrings, and inadvertently asked, “Mother, why are you suddenly giving me such precious things?”As she spoke, she stole a glance at Ruth.‘Such precious items are usually Ruth’s possessions. Why would she give them to me?’Ruth snorted and gently stroked whatever was in her right sleeve.‘What’s so great about a pair of white jade pearl earrings? At most, it’s just worth a few million…’The Heart of the Ocean in her hand was
“Daddy, I saw Mommy in Cloud City!”Melody had stopped crying. She fumblingly took out the phone in her pocket and tapped on a few pictures.Duke was caught off guard when his eyes landed on the woman’s face.He grabbed the phone at once and zoomed in on the picture. At a closer look, he could see that the outline of her facial features were quite familiar, and the tenderness in her eyes made his heart beat wildly in his chest.He suppressed his joy and slowly asked, “Mel, when was this picture taken?”“Daddy, didn’t you see me and Mommy hugging together?” Melody pouted. “I’m wearing the same clothes as in that picture. It was taken today.”Only then did Duke realize that Adina was hugging her daughter in her arms.He cleared his throat and said, “Sorry, Mel. I got too excited. Where did you say you met Mommy?”“In Cloud City!” Melody pursed her lips. “Mommy is now called Adeena, and she said she doesn’t remember the past. She must have amnesia.”She took out a delicate-lookin
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,
