Mr. Brown opened his mouth several times, but he did not know how to answer.
Adina spoke as she washed the dishes. âDew is his birth mother. It wonât do him any good if word gets out about how heâs treating her.â
âWell, Young Master Harold is still young. He doesnât understand what a birth mother means.â Mr.
Brown explained. âYoung Master Harold has always disliked her ever since he could remember. He has never called her mom. Even so, Young Master George has never called her mom either. He did call her mother, which comes across as rather impersonal.â
Adina lowered her eyes and said, âGeorge is a child with self-restraint and propriety. If he is willing to call Dew mother, that means he acknowledges her.
âYoung Master George is good to his mother indeed. He prepares all sorts of gifts for Ms. Dew every year. This villa has a room on the second floor that is filled with clothes, bags, and shoes that Young Master George bought for Ms. Dew.â On that note, Mr. Brown let out another sigh. âHowever, Ms. Dew angered Master Duke last time. All the things in that room have been thrown away.â
âMaster Duke dislikes Ms. Dew, Young Master Harold rejects her too, but Young Master George has always respected his mother. Although Ms. Dew is not allowed to step foot in Winters familyâs house again, Young Master George has always paid attention to any news regarding her. Ms. Dewâs participation in the piano tour abroad this time was also as per Young Master Georgeâs arrangement.â
Age had loosened Mr. Brownâs tongue. He casually spoke about some of the things George had done to Dew.
The corner of Adinaâs lips slowly curled into a sneer.
George did care a lot about Dew, his mother.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have deliberately set up a trap waiting for her to walk into it.
George went to great lengths to deal with her. Would Alden and Melody become his targets, too?
Adina pursed her lips. Her hand that was chopping the vegetables paused.
Cooking was the easiest thing for her, but at that moment, she did not feel quite up to it.
Just then, a car drove in from outside the house. Mr. Brownâs knitted brows smoothed.â Master is home.â
The old man waved to a few other cooks in the kitchen. âLeave and work on something else.â
Leave the kitchen to Master and Ms. Adina. He could see that Ms. Adina was quite special to Master.
This was the first time he had seen Master show great interest and patience to a woman.
Adina slowly chopped the vegetables. The next moment, she heard the sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground. Duke Winters had walked in.
She lowered her eyes and continued to work on the task at hand.
âIâll cut the vegetables.â Duke Winters walked over and took the kitchen knife from her hand. âLook at these potatoes. You call this dicing?â He asked in a low voice. As he spoke, his black eyes fell on Adinaâs face. Adina raised her head and looked at the man before her.
He was wearing a black business suit. His powerful aura was spreading all over the room. A man like this would actually cook in the kitchen. He had probably never stepped foot in the kitchen before this.
So, who did he go into the kitchen for?
Harold? Melody? Or for her?
Adina shoved down the emotions that inexplicably emerged as she said indifferently, âI was just chatting with Mr. Brown.â Dukeâs lips curled up a little. âAbout what?â âAbout Harold and Georgeâs mother.â Dukeâs fingers paused immediately. The three-day deadline had not yet expired. He had planned to tell her about it tonight or tomorrow However, she seemed to have found out already now. Duke put down the kitchen knife.
