Chapter 357: Chapter 357

“I‘ll send you home,” Duke said as he opened that car door, Adina smiled and shook her head, “I drove here. I can drive back on my own.” Duke suddenly lowered her head and leaned into his ears.

“Remember, I‘m your boyfriend now, and it‘s perfectly reasonable for the boyfriend to send his girlfriend home.”

Adina recalled what he said to Mrs. Winters earlier.

Her ears turned red. She pursed her lips and said, “What should I do with my car, then?”

Duke turned around and called for a bodyguard. He ordered him to drive Adina’s car and follow him as he drove Adina and her children back.

He drove slowly, and they reached the Daugherty’s mansion after half an hour. Adina carried her children down the car and said politely, “Thank you, Mr. Winters. Goodbye.” Alden waved his hand courteously. “Bye, Uncle Duke.”

Melody whispered, “Bye–bye, Daddy.” The moment Melody said “Daddy“, the emotion that Adina tried to suppress crumbled a little.

‘I could‘ve still faced Duke as normal if he hadn‘t confessed his feelings in front of Mrs. Winters earlier.

‘But he said he loves me…’ “Aren‘t you going to invite me in?” Duke asked suddenly. “I‘m a little thirsty after driving for so long.” Adina was speechless. ‘Isn‘t he being too blatant, barging into a single woman‘s house in the middle of the night?” Just as she was about to refuse, she saw Duke take her favorite puffer jacket and walk into her house.

She shrugged helplessly and walked in.

It was already nine o‘clock at night, and it was Mel‘s bedtime.

Adina changed to her slippers and said, “Mr. Winters, have a sit. I‘ll give Mel a bath. It‘s already her bedtime.”

She did not dare to look into Duke‘s eyes. She carried Melody upstairs into the bathroom.

Alden took a book and sat on the sofa. He had an indifferent expression. Duke took a glance at the book and frowned. “Are you still trying to be a hacker?” ‘That book is about advanced hacking.

Generally, only graduate students of this major could understand it. How could a four–year–old child be interested in this book?‘ “I think hacking is very interesting,” Alden said without looking up. “I can do a lot of things that I want without getting caught.”

“That doesn‘t sound good. Many hackers go astray after making one momentary slip.’ Duke narrowed his eyes and said, “What exactly do you want to do without getting caught?” Alden pursed his lips. “I can’t tell you that.” He loweradi his gaze and continued to flip through the book. He read through the book swiftly and seemed to understand every word.

Duke propped his chin up and narrowed his eyes. ‘If I really want to be with Adina, Alden will be my son too. ‘Since he‘ll be part of the Winters family, I need to guide him well. He might end up being a hacker on the Internet someday.

“But now is not the time…?

After a while, Adina was done bathing Melody.

Melody was wrapped in a pink towel, looking like a soft pink burrito, looking fluffy, giving everyone a warm fuzzy feeling when they looked upon her. Duke stood up and went upstairs. “Mel, do you want me to read you a story?” Melody‘s eyes lit up in excitement as she reached out and hugged Duke‘s neck.
