Alden held Melodyâs hand while he walked over. He obediently said, âMommy, Daddy.â
Melody learned from him and sweetly said, âMommy, Daddy.â Duke bent down to lift the girl. âDid you miss Daddy at school today?â âYes!â
Melody nodded hard. Her smile was pure and bright Alden raised his head and frowned slightly.
âMommy, why do you look unwell?â
Adina smiled and said, âI was in the meeting the whole day. Someone was smoking in the office, and it was so suffocating, so I felt a little dizzy. Come on, letâs get in the car first.â
Duke put Melody in the back passenger seat and carefully buckled the seat belt for the children before he started the engine.
Alden sat in the back and leaned forward a little. He sniffed hard but did not smell cigarettes from Adina He instantly saw the scarf around Adinaâs neck. He remembered that she did not have the habit of wearing a scarf.
He slowly said, âMommy, your scarfâs quite pretty.â
Adinaâs heart skipped a beat.
She understood her son too well. Whenever he brought up a subject, he had a purpose.
In other words, Alden already suspected that there was something on her neck. It was actually nothing for Alden to see it. The problem was, the whole thing was just too creepy, and she had not even discovered what had happened.
âAlden, you think this scarf is pretty too?â Duke suddenly said. âItâs a gift from me to your mom, but she doesnât think itâs pretty. Alden, be honest, does this scarf make your momâs skin look fairer?â
Alden stared at the scarf and did not answer.
Melody suddenly clapped. âItâs nice! Itâs very pretty!â
Adina smiled and sald, âMel, if you like the scarl, Iâll give it to you, okay?â Melody waved. âDaddy gave this to Mommy as a gift. I donât want it.â Duke smiled happily Melody wak Truly his swertheart vir divve spordily, and they anivet at the Winters familyâs villa luchar blink of an eye R! Adana potent of the car.

Mrs. Winters put down her teacup before she also walked out of the house.
When she saw the children, her gloominess from last night instantly disappeared. She walked over and held her granddaughter in her arms before she smiled and said, âMel, did you miss Grandma?â
âYes!â
Melodyâs eyes were full of joy. She did not look like she used to be an autistic child. Mrs. Winters had bought some good stuff from an auction again today. She could not wait to let the servants take them out and lay them on the climbing mat like it was a flea market.
âMommy, I miss you so much!â
Right when Harold wanted to climb onto Adinaâs body, Duke carried him instead. The boy moved around uncomfortably. âDaddy, I donât want your hug. I want Mommy to hug me.â
âEither I hug you or you stand,â Duke said coldly. Harold tilted his head, contemplated for a few minutes, and seemingly compromised. âOkay, Iâll just stand.â Duke was speechless. This must not be his biological son!
