Yes, he did it, but Young Master Harold turned on him!
He was so embarrassed. âUm, it was just an accidentâ¦â Mr. Brown stroked his nose. âItâs late. I need to go to bed. Iâll go ahead and get some rest⦠Sigh, this old man canât stay up late nowadays »
He walked away as he sighed. Then he entered his room and locked the door.
Adina was speechless once more.
She suddenly understood the reason for Mr. Brownâs actions.
She really did not know how to express her opinion.
âDad, Iâll look for George and others!â Harold moved out of Adinaâs arms and rushed upstairs.
In the living room, Adina and Duke looked at each other at a loss.
A few seconds later, Adina stood up. âSince Mr. Brown is already resting and the servants arenât around, Iâll help you clean the room.â
Duke initially wanted to say that it would make no difference if he slept in another room, but he noticed that Adina had already walked up the stairs. He pursed his lips and followed her.
The master bedroom was the biggest room. Once the door was opened, a terrible smell wafted out of the room.
When Adina stepped in, she saw an unknown liquid spread out on the white bedsheet.
LIT She was always gentle and patient when dealing with children, but even she felt like grabbing Harold over and spanking him at that moment.
She rolled up the bedsheet and blanket before she threw them in the corridor outside. Then she looked up and asked, âAre there new bedsheets and blankets?â
Duke stroked his chin and thought. âI donât know. Where do you usually keep them?â
Adina was stunned.
This was not her house. How would she know where they were kept?
âWherever you usually put them, Mr. Brown should have kept them there as well,â Duke explained.
Adina pulled the wardrobe open, and it released a terrible smell too. Alright! All the clothes in the wardrobe were ruined.
She turned back and noticed that Duke looked sullen. A murderous intent was visible in his eyes.
â
She could only pretend as if nothing had happened.â Theyâre a little smelly, but you can still wear them after theyâre washed in the washing machine and dried under the sun.â
The clothes could still be worn, but she guessed that this man would not want to wear them again.
âA few years ago, Alden peed on this trench coat. I washed it, and Iâve been wearing it for years.â Adina looked for a blanket while she casually said, âItâs very normal to get dirty when youâre raising kids, so you donât have to mind it too much. The kids usually help âtreatâ our mysophobia.â
LLLL Duke suddenly fell silent.
He looked at her and only spoke after a while. âWas nobody there to help you look after Alden and Mel in the past?â
Adina chuckled and said, âI fled abroad in disarray back then, and I only had a few thousand dollars.
How could I have had the money to afford a babysitter? I took care of Alden and Mel by myself. Later, once Alden was old enough, he slowly learned how to take care of Mel for me. I felt much more relieved too.â
When Duke looked at the messy room again, he somehow found it a more pleasant sight. He had been living with George and Harold for four years, but Mr. Brown and the servants had been taking care of the boys. He never really put in any effort.
He also wanted to experience what Adina had been through He walked up to the side of the bed and softly said, âIâll make the bed with you.â
They both pulled the bedsheet, shook it, and spread it on the bed.
Bang! Right then, the room door abruptly closed.
