The motorcycle sped off.
Adina felt a chill traveling up her right arm.
She looked back and noticed that her clothes were torn. She shivered as cold air breezed through the tear.
âYoung Master George, are you okay?!â
Liam, who was fixing the car, came to them hurriedly. He carried George and checked if he was hurt.
Georgeâs face was pale, âIâm fine.â He looked at Adina with complicated emotion in his eyes. âThanks for saving me.â âIf not for her fast reflexes, I wouldâve been hit by the motorcycleâ¦â ââIâm glad youâre okay,â Adina said curtly. She turned and went back to her car. She herself was not sure why she would save Dewâs son at that moment⦠âWhy am I being so kind to him?â âMother, is your hand hurt?â
Harold leaned over and his gaze was filled with worries.
âItâs just a tear, but Iâm okay.â Adina smiled. âLuckily, Iâve got a few layers on.â She put on her seatbelt and stepped on the accelerator. She slowly left the winding road. Harold looked at George through the rearview mirror. His gaze remained on them until their car disappeared.
He pursed his lips and said, âGeorge Winters is very conniving. I canât figure out what heâs thinking at all. Mother, you should stay away from him in the futureâ¦â
Adina was stunned for a moment as she held the steering wheel. âWhat did you just say?â
âI say, I hope youâll stay away from George next time. Heâs tooâsmart. Heâs so different from Aldenâ¦â
âAre you saying that his name is George Winters?â Adina instantly slowed down her car. âSo, that child just now is George Winters?â
Harold was in a daze for a moment.
âMother and Duke are close friends. How is it possible that she has never met George before?
âBut from her actions just now, she obviously knows George. Did she not know his name?â
Harold asked, âMother, his name is George, and is Aldenâs biological brother.â 2 Adina became stiff once again.
âGeorge Winters.
âHmmâ¦!
She had heard Duke speak of George many times. She was also aware that George was Aldenâs brother. She had always thought that George was at least three or four years older than Alden. The impression she had of George was an eight-or nine-year-old boy. She did not expect that he was the same age as Alden. Perhaps they were twins. 1 âBut that child is Dewâs sonâ¦
âHer sonâs name is George Winters? âAnd Dukeâs eldest son is also George Winters. âSo, Dew and Duke had children together?
âGeorge and Alden are twins. So, Dew gave birth to a twin five years ago?â 3 Adina was in disbelief. âMother, whatâs wrong?â Harold asked worriedly. âIâm fine.â
Adina came back to her senses and continued to drive.
Her gaze was on the road ahead, but her mind was in a whirl. âI asked Duke about his relationship with Dew. He said that thereâs nothing between them⦠âHmph! And I believed him!â
