Chapter 1345: Madam Winters’s Fight For Her Children Chapter 1345

“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 through them as darkness filled his profound eyes.

He did not speak immediately. It was only after he looked at Melody to comfort her that he looked at Brooklyn and said, “I’d like to ask you three questions.”

Brooklyn immediately answered, “Please do.”

“If you had to choose between your career and my daughter, how would you choose?”

When Brooklyn heard this, he sighed in relief. “Forget my career, even if I have to choose between my life and Mel’s life, I’ll still choose hers,” he said without hesitation.

“So, who would you choose between your family and my daughter?” Duke continued to ask.

“I still choose Mel. My family goes back hundreds of years. There are countless excellent members to support them, so they don’t need me,” Brooklyn said.

“Then, what about your parents and immediate family?” Duke stared into his eyes and firmly asked, “If you had to choose between your parents and my daughter, who would you choose?”

Right after this question, Brooklyn fell into silence.

After a while, he finally spoke in a deep voice, and it sounded as if he was mocking himself. “Uncle Duke, honestly, I’ve learned music since I was little. Once I had some achievements under my belt, I started traveling around the world. I’ve neglected my family too much, and I’ve been really unfilial. They haven’t received much care and attention from me, and although I feel guilty, I believe they can live a good life without me.

“But Mel is different.” As he spoke, he looked at Melody. His eyes were slightly red, but he curled his lips. “All these years, we’ve been together constantly, learning, performing, and attending competitions.

I can’t imagine what would happen to her if I’m not by her side one day and what would happen to me. I think I would lose the meaning of my existence in the world.

“I hope I can do my best to take care of her, protect her, and shield her from all obstacles. I’ll give her everything. She’s above everyone else. No matter what I have to choose, she’ll always be the only answer.”

Right after Brooklyn said this, the Winters family became quiet.

They saw the young man’s sincerity and also felt touched.

Melody had not chosen the wrong person.

At this time, Melody’s eyes turned red, and Duke remained silent.

A few moments later, he looked away and turned to Everett.

“What about you?”

Ninian’s heart was in her mouth at the mention of those three simple words. Meanwhile, Melody breathed a heavy sigh of relief because Brooklyn had passed.

Everett was similarly outstanding, and his temperament was indifferent. Unlike the gentle and humble Brooklyn, he was steadier and more reserved. He did not even look like a young man in his twenties.

When he heard Duke’s question, he firmly walked forward and handed his documents.

“Same as Brooklyn, I also transferred everything to Ninian’s name three years ago,” Everett answered.

However, he still looked askance at Ninian at that moment.

He had gone from a teen to a young man. His gaze was resolute, and he firmly said, ” Ninian is my savior. She’s the only inspiration and direction in my life.”

His words were no less serious than Brooklyn’s.

His simple words contained an entire life’s promise. It hit Ninian’s heart like a huge rock and stopped her from breathing.
