âStay away from him.â Duke held the steering wheel tightly as he slowly replied.
Earley Wynters was Earl Winters.
He was Dukeâs biological twin brother. Duke softly said, âEarley Wynters is a very dangerous person.
Nothing good comes to those who approach him.â
Adina looked at the person who was driving.
Why did she feel that something was off with Dukeâs emotions when she brought Earley up?
That supported her theory even more.
Duke drove the car slowly on the road at night and stopped in front of the Winters family villa in less than twenty minutes.
Duke got out of the car first and pulled open the passenger door for Adina like a gentleman. When the two of them walked up to the mansionâs door, all their four children rushed over.
âMommy, youâre finally back. I miss you so much!â Harold was always the most excited kid. He ran into Adinaâs arms and instantly climbed onto her body.
Melody used to be a shy and reserved girl, but she had also become mischievous due to Haroldâs influence. She learned how to climb onto Adinaâs body from him.
Adina carried a thirty-kilogram kid in each arm, and they were heavy.
Two more kids looked at her expectantly with their dark eyes.
âYour mom canât carry you. Iâll hold you.â
Duke squatted down and waved at George and Alden. George awkwardly took a step back. âIâm a big boy now. I donât need a hug.â
âI donât need one either,â Alden said indifferently.
Duke found himself speechless.
Okay, these four kids did not need their father anyway.
âDaddy, hug me!â
Melody stretched out her arms.
Dukeâs poor heart was finally comforted. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Winters walked out of the house at the next second. She smiled and said, âMel, come here. Grandma wants you to pick a necklace.â
The girlâs eyes lit up, and she rushed into Mrs. Wintersâ arms.
Mrs. Winters carried Melody with a smile and said, âAddy, Mel and I just hit it off. Let her sleep with me today.â
As she said that, she carried Melody into the living room regardless of whether Adina agreed or not.
Adina was stunned.
Was Melody not autistic? With the exception of her dad, mom, and brothers, did she not dislike others getting close to her? How did she get on with Mrs. Winters so quickly?
Soon, Adina understood the reason.
She saw Mr. Brown and five servants step out of the collection room on the upper floor with many wooden boxes in their hands. Then, they opened the boxes and placed them in front of Melody.
The boxes contained either diamond necklaces, pearl earrings, or jade wristlets. They looked like they were worth at least a few million dollars. However, those items were like toys in Melodyâs hands. Once she got bored after playing with them for a while, she simply threw them away. Mr. Brown seemed hurt as he went to pick them up and put them back in the boxes. But Mrs. Winters did not seem to be bothered. âYou donât like these either? Itâs okay, I still have a lot of shiny jewelry in the collection room.
Iâll get Papa Brown to take them down. You can bring whichever one you like home.â The corners of Adinaâs lips twitched.
