Chapter 1027 The corners of Dukeâs lips twitched. The Winters family children were all highly intelligent. That was at least true for George and Alden. But Duke just could not understand how Harold ended up being this stupid.
He sneered. âAre you sure your gift was delivered into your mommyâs hands?â
Harold was stunned for a moment before he angrily stood up. âDid Uncle Daniel keep the gifts that I bought for Mommy?!â
Duke was speechless. âThis stupid son is beyond saving.â
âDaddy, is Mommy really coming? Melody asked warily. There was hope in her eyes.
Duke nodded. âIn order not to shock your mommy into recalling the past, you should call her Aunt Deena. Donât say too much, so as not to arouse her suspicion.â âThis is the place Mommy used to live in. When she is in a familiar environment, it would also make Mommy recall the past, wouldnât it?â
Alden said slowly, âIf Daddy doesnât want Mommy to recall the past, she shouldnât come here.â
Duke shook his head. âThe four of you and I are people she used to know. In order for you to show up before her without any trouble arising, she must visit our home at least once. If the house can help her recall the past, then thereâs no need for us to stage more appearances and meetingsâ¦â
âI understand,â George said, âSince we want Mommy to come home, we have to let her accept all of this. Itâs just that we canât all call her Mommy for now. We have to do everything slowly.â âEither way, Mommyâs coming home!â Harold danced happily. âIâm going to prepare lots of gifts for her!â
âControl yourself,â Alden said coolly, âIf you make her suspicious, Mommy may never come back in the future.â
âOâokayâ¦â Haroldâs little face drooped.
Over the past four years, every time he saw a beautiful dress, he would buy it for his mommy. The wardrobe in his room was filled with the most beautiful dresses.
When his mommy came home to the Winters familyâs mansion for real, he would give her all those dresses in his wardrobe! The night was getting darker. Adeena had taken a shower and sat on her bed, tapping her laptop She had two projects on hand, and she had to personally refine and change many of the detailsâ¦
Buzzz!
Her phone vibrated suddenly.
She glanced at the caller ID. It was an unfamiliar Sea City number.
She frowned and answered the call. âItâs me.â
Adeena was momentarily stunned at hearing these two words. âDukeâ¦â
Why was this man calling her this late at night? She tried to calm her wildly beating heart and calmly said, âMr. Winters?â
âIâm downstairs.â His words almost made Adeena jump out of bed. She took a deep break âMr. Winters, what are you playing at?â âGo to your balcony and have a look, or else you wonât know.â Adeena put down her laptop and got off the bed. She walked slowly to the balcony, then she parted the curtains by a small gap.
This was the third floor, and she could just make out a tall camphor tree under the apartment. Aman dressed in casual clothing was standing under the tree. The dim yellow streetlights fell on his shoulders, making his cold and hard features appear much softer.
In the sky, there were the moon and stars, and under the tree, there was him⦠Adeenaâs heart beat uncontrollably. No matter how she tried to suppress it, the palpitations would not stop The manâs words from earlier that day still rang in her ears. âMs. Willis, I am courting you, donât you understand?⦠Ms. Willis, Iâd like to call you Adee.â
Adeena clutched her chest as her ears heated up. Even if she did not look in the mirror, she knew that her ears must be red.
