âUncle Richard.â
Mdm. Xavier and Richard were stunned.
Who were the two other children next to Melody and Alden?
Ethan cleared his throat and said, âAddy didnât let me tell you, so Iâve been keeping it a secret. Now, I can finally tell you. These two children are the young masters of the Winters family, and theyâre Addyâs biological sons.â
âWhat did you just say?â Mdm. Xavier was taken aback for a while before she immediately responded, âThe news said Addyâs two sons died, but they werenâtâ¦â
She looked at George and Haroldâs faces with a complicated gaze.
Adina sat down beside Mdm. Xavier and spoke in a gentle voice. âThat night four years ago, I gave birth to quadruplets. Georgie and Harold werenât breathing when they were born, so Dew Daugherty deceived me by telling me that they were dead. Then, she carried them away. After I gave birth to Alden and Mel, I ran away from the Daugherty family.â She calmly explained the incident that had happened four years ago, and the living room was extremely quiet throughout.
Tears filled Mdm. Xavierâs eyes. âAddy, it really has been so tough for you and the kids.â âItâs all over.â
Adinaâs gaze was soft. âGrandma, Iâm very happy now. I have my four kids, and all of them are healthy and happy. Duke and I are getting married too. Weâll have a happy family, and the kids will grow up with joy.â âGetting married?â Mdm. Xavier caught the main point.â Who are you marrying?â âGreat-grandma , Mommy is getting married to Dad!â Harold smiled cheekily. âTheyâll get engaged on the sixth of next month. Mel will be the flower girl, and Iâll be responsible for lifting Mommyâs gown.â âAddy, is that true?â
Ethan asked in surprise. Adina nodded bashfully. âYes. I came over today because I wanted to tell you the news. Weâll be engaged on the sixth of next month. The venue hasnât been confirmed, so Iâll deliver the invitation card in a few days.â âGreat!â Mdm. Xavier patted the back of Adinaâs hand excitedly.
âDuke Winters became the CEO of Winters Corporation at a very young age. He has managed the company well all these years. He has money and power, yet weâve never heard any scandals about him in our circle. This shows that heâs a man whom you can rely on for the rest of your life.â
âTsk!â
A discordant sound suddenly came from the living room.
Sophia fiddled with her fingers while she sarcastically said, âAs long as you have money, thereâs no scandal that you canât suppress. If he really is a man you can rely on for the rest of your life, why would he have a one-night affair with the most beautiful woman in Sea City five years ago? Duke might also have countless women in places that you canât see. Perhaps he also has a lot of illegitimate children out thereâ¦â
George cast a cold glance at her.
He was very young, but he had a strong aura. When he glanced over, the second half of Sophiaâs sentence died in her throat.
âAunt Sophia, right?â George asked coldly. âI heard that youâre married to Mr. Gardner. Iâve met him. He has a big head, fat ears, and a huge belly. He looks like a giant, but he has a lot of luck with women.
Whenever he attends a dinner, he doesnât seem to be accompanied by the same female companion .
Aunt Sophia , if youâre interested in his women, I can take you to meet him one day.â
Sophia widened her eyes in anger.
When those words came out of a four-year-old boyâs mouth, it made her feel embarrassed and annoyed.
Nobody knew her husband better than her. She had been covering it up in front of the Xavier family, but the little brat just exposed everything.
âNonsense!â Morganna glared at George. âHow old are you? You spout a lot of nonsense. I wonder who taught you all of this.â
âMy dad taught me. Why? Do you have something to say?â George sneered.
He shut Morganna down.
This bratâs dad was Duke.
Who was Duke? He was the CEO of Winters Corporation and a bigwig who could control Sea City. The Xavier family was part of the top ten in Sea City, but they still could not compare to the Winters family.
Morganna had to stuff her anger in her chest, and it was suffocating.
However, she dared not make a bigger fuss. She turned around and walked to the side hall. Sophia followed her as well after she glared at Adina in hatred.
As soon as the two of them entered the side hall, their rage was completely visible on their faces.
