The group of four got into the car.
Duke was driving at the front, while the three kids sat in the back Georgeâs cold and serious gaze was tinged with some uncharacteristic tenderness. He took out some colorful candies from his pocket. âMel, which flavor do you like?â
âMel doesnât like candies.â
Alden indifferently stopped him. Georgeâs hand paused for a while before he stretched out his hand further. âSince Mel doesnât eat, then you eat them.â The bunch of colorful candies were forcefully stuffed into Aldenâs hand by George, which left him no chance to say no. âHarold likes the strawberry one. You can try,â George indifferently said. Alden pursed his lips and softly said, âThanks.â He usually did not like to eat candies, but he unwrapped a pink strawberry-flavored candy and put it into his mouth now. The sweetness spread across his mouth. The strawberry-flavored candy actually tasted good.
When Duke saw the kidsâ interaction from the rearview mirror, his indifferent lips were filled with warmth. The car smoothly glided down the road. About ten minutes later, it arrived at the Winters familyâs mansion.
Alden was a little stunned. âUncle Winters, shouldnât you send us home?â Duke unbuckled the seatbelt before he indifferently said, âYour mom is cooking dinner in the Winters family, so you naturally need to be here.â Alden was stunned again.
He had told mom about that last night, so should she not stay far away from the Winters family? Why did she still go and approach them?
While Alden was about to unbuckle the seatbelt for Melody, he realized that George already helped Melody get out of the car. When the car door was opened, the voices clearly came from the mansion.
It was Haroldâs happy cheers.
âWow, Auntie Adina, look! How cleanly I washed the vegetables!â âYouâre so amazing, Harold!â âAuntie Adina, what else can I do for you? Can I crack the eggs? Oh, gosh! Sorry, Auntie Adina, I didnât do it on purposeâ¦â
The sound of a bowl being broken in the kitchen was heard. âIs your hand injured?â Adina immediately put aside her work, squatted down, and checked his fingers. It was only after she saw he was uninjured that she felt at ease. âHarold, youâd better go out and play. Itâs dangerous here.â âBut Auntie Adina, I want to accompany youâ¦â Harold leaned in Adinaâs arms, and his voice was childish. When Duke came inside with the three kids, they saw this situation. Harold and Adina stared at each other, and their gazes showed strong, inseparable, mutual affection and love.
Adina had been so indifferent a few days ago, but her attitude totally changed today. What was going on? Duke turned around and looked at Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown bowed slightly and respectfully said, âMiss Daugherty came this morning, and she has been playing with Young Master in the living room for the whole day.â
He could hardly believe his own words. A busy person like Miss Daugherty actually hung out with the Young Master in the Winters family for the whole dayâ¦
Duke pursed his lips and asked, âWhat did they do the whole day?â
âThey were just⦠looking through the albums.â Mr. Brown stroked his chin. âThatâs all, I guessâ¦â
âWow, youâre back, Dad!â Harold rushed out of the kitchen. âDad, look, Auntie Adina is in our house!
She said no matter what, she will come to our house and cook dinner for me. Aww, Iâm so happy! Oh, George, why are you also back?â George was speechless.
Was he not unpopular?
He pursed his lips. âI heard that the food that Auntie Adina cooks is very delicious. I havenât tried it before.â
