Chapter 1031 Duke parked the car, opened the car door, and got out. He wore an allâblack suit, and the hems of his sleeves were embroidered with dark gold thread. They shimmered with each movement, giving off a feeling of elegance and luxury. He pulled open the passenger side door like a gentleman. âAdee, hop in.â. Adeena did not turn him down. She leaned down and got into the passenger seat.
As she was about to put on the seatbelt, the man suddenly leaned in close and helped her buckle in.
Adeena held her breath and did not dare move.
Duke wanted to laugh.
âWhy is Addyâs nervous face so cute?â
He was afraid that Addy would get angry, so he did not tease her about it. He turned back to the driverâs seat and slowly drove off.
âAdee, have you been to Sea City before?â Duke asked casually as he drove.
He said âAdeeâ so naturally, as though they were friends who had known each other for a long timeâ¦
or lovers who had been with each other for a long timeâ¦
Adeena turned her head to look out the window, and casually said, âThis is my first time in Sea City.â
âSea City has many tourist attractions. I could show you around this afternoon,â Duke said. âNo, thank you. I have other appointments this afternoon,â Adeena politely declined, turning her head to look at the fleeting scenery outside the window.
She did not know why, but the sense of familiarity came to her again, as though she had taken this route countless times before.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the door of a mansion halfway up the mountainside. This was a threeâstory garden mansion with a swimming pool at the entrance, a garden in the back, a wide courtyard, and a viewing platform, covering an area of more than a thousand square meters.
This was clearly a place only rich people could afford. Adeena opened the car door and got out. She barely took a step when she noticed that, in front of the floorâtoâceiling windows of the mansion, stood four eight â or nineâyearâold children. Her eyes suddenly grew wide. Because they were too far in the distance, she could not see the childrenâs appearances, but there was an urgency in her heart, and she could not help but quicken her steps. The four children stood in front of the living room window. Melody was full of tears, and they rolled uncontrollably down her cheeks.
The other three boys were all stunned. âT-Thatâs Mommy?â Harold asked dumbly. âDoes Mommy look like this?â Melody nodded. âYes, sheâs our mommy. I was already 100% certain when I first saw her, so I did a paternity test the first chance I got.â Harold was speechless. The mommy he found clearly did not look like this.
Did he make a mistake?
âI understand now why Daddy said I did something stupid last night.â Haroldâs eyes grew wide.
âGeorge, Al, why didnât you tell me sooner?!â He asked in a low voice.
But when he looked at George and Alden, they did not react at all. The two of them were staring greedily at the people outside the window, who were coming closer and closer.
âIâm not the only one doing stupid things. George and Al did the same stupid thing, too.â Harold felt that life was fair. Then, he suddenly remembered something and quickly took out his phone to send a message. [Uncle Daniel, I mistook the wrong person, you donât have to see that woman anymore.]
When he was done, he put the phone into his pocket and dashed outside⦠âStop!â
George grabbed him.
âDonât get too excited, or youâll scare Mommy away. Mel, wipe your tears. Letâs go out together.â
Melody nodded and forcefully held back her tears. The four children walked out together. âWelcome to the Winters familyâs mansion, Aunt Deena.â
