Adina anxiously clenched her fists. To hire Brenden, she told Duke about her unpleasant past.
She revealed those things in hopes that Duke would introduce her to Brenden.
If Brenden was willing to file the lawsuit for her, she would be able to keep her custody of the kids.
Displeasure flashed past Dukeâs eyes. He knew that she had two children, but he had never connected her with any man. When he heard her talking about the childrenâs father, he suddenly realized that she would have had to sleep with a man to birth two kids. The thought of something happening between her and another man five years ago⦠When he remembered that she had given birth to two kids for another man, his heart became filled with gloom. It flooded him like raging waves, suffocating him a little. He did not know why he felt like that. He just knew that he was very uncomfortable. Why was the adorable and pretty Melody Tysonâs daughter? Why was the brilliant and cunning Alden Tysonâs son?
Melody called Duke âDaddy,â so she was supposed to be his daughter⦠The moment Duke thought about that, he immediately snapped out of his daze. Was he insane? How could he think of such a scary thought?
âMr. Winters?â
When Adina noticed that he had not answered her, she called out to him. She took a deep breath before she slowly said, âIf itâs really inconvenient for you, just forget it.â
âThereâs nothing inconvenient about it.â Duke curled his lips nonchalantly. âIâm just wondering why I should help you.â
Since he said that, there was still room for discussion. Adinaâs tension was finally relieved.
She smiled and said, âFeel free to raise any condition you have, Mr. Winters. If I can do it, I wonât refuse.â
Duke fiddled with his fingers.
What condition?
He did not have a condition.
He just felt uncomfortable when he thought about how she had a tie with Tyson that she could never cut off. All of a sudden, he felt like he was being unreasonable. He looked up and saw Harold. Harold was scratching his head while talking to Alden.
Alden had said something, and Harold was thinking about it for a long time with a frown. That made him look like he had a very low IQ. MB Duke pursed his lips before he said, âHarold enjoys eating the food that you cook.â Adinaâs eyes lit up.
âAre you saying that if I take care of Haroldâs daily meals, youâll be willing to introduce me to Mr.
Watson?â When Duke saw the light in her eyes, he was stunned. He added, âYou just have to prepare dinner for Harold in the Winters family villa every night.â Adina frowned. âBut I still have to take care of Alden and Mel.â âBring them along to the villa,â Duke said indifferently. âYou can bring the kids home after dinner with the Winters family.â Adina seriously considered it for a few seconds. It seemed fine for her to prepare dinner in the Winters family villa.
It also seemed fine for her to take her kids to the villa and eat there. However, she would interact with Duke more, and it would also be easy for her to meet Dew.
