Chapter 413: Chapter 413

“Mommy, don’t worry. I will never leave you,” said Alden, who was sitting at the back.

Adina was holding onto the steering wheel as she relaxed and smiled, “Al, you don’t have to look at him like he’s your enemy. Duke is your biological father. You should get to know him a little better, and there’s nothing to lose.”

“But you’ll be sad.” Al hid the emotion in his gaze as he clenched his fist.

“Al, I won’t be. Where do you want to go?” Adina smiled helplessly. When they were at the traffic light, she turned and looked at her as she said gently, “Duke is your and Melody’s father. I’m really happy that he’s decided to protect and look after both of you with me. How can I be sad?”

Alden lowered his gaze and did not say anything.

‘If Duke truly loves Mommy, I will accept him into our lives as well.

‘But if he were to hurt her in any way, I will never let the Winters family off the hook!’

They drove to the Winters family’s mansion.

Harold had been waiting at the entrance for a long time.

‘I was supposed to go fetch Melody at the preschool with Daddy. But he said that I should get changed first. By the time I changed, he was already gone.’

He was so angry that he was close to tears.

Soon, a black car slowly drove up on the winding mountain road.

Harold hurriedly tidied up his shirt, puffed out his chest, and kept his chin up. ‘I must look cool and handsome when I welcome Mommy and Melody.’

The cars stopped in front of him.

Before he could call out “Mommy”, Liam got out of the car, went around to the other side, and opened the backseat door.

“George? Why are you here?”

Harold became flustered when he saw George getting out of the car.

‘George usually comes back around eight or nine at night. It’s only six. Why is he…?” 2 “Why not?”

George coughed lightly and said, “I finished my work ahead of schedule. So, I’m back sooner. What’s the matter?”

Liam, who was standing at the side, remained silent.

‘You’re supposed to attend a very important meeting tonight. Just because Young Master Harold isn’t as smart as you, you shouldn’t fool him like that.’

George shot him a quick glare. Liam immediately stopped harboring those thoughts.

He said politely, “Sir, I will go attend to the matter in the office now.”

He swiftly drove off.

Harold and George were both standing at the entrance of the mansion.

Harold asked angrily, “George, you usually head for the study room right after you come home. Why are you standing here?”

George retained his indifferent expression. “I’ll do whatever you’re doing.”

“Hmph!”

Harold crossed his tiny arms.

‘I knew it! George wants to curry favor with Mommy and Melody!

‘I must not let him snatch them away from me!’

“George, I feel that Al’s personality is similar to yours. You two definitely can get along very well.”

Harold said cunningly , “Later on, you should go to the study room with him. I’m sure both of you have a lot of things to talk about with each other.”

‘With George being occupied with Alden, no one will take Mommy and Melody away from me!’

George said indifferently, “Al is smart. You should learn to speed – read books like him. You two should chit-chat with each other.”

LU Harold’s expression turned sour. ‘Can he not mention learning anything? I hate that the most…

As they were subtly bickering, two cars emerged; one after another.
