Chapter 596: Chapter 596

At the end of the corridor was the chairman‘s office. The office door was ajar, and they could see a man in black lying on the chair.

“Daddy…”

Melody smiled and instantly wanted to run towards that man.

Alden grabbed her wrist with a darkened expression. He then said, “Daddy is playing games.”

Harold was in disbelief . “So, Daddy didn‘t come, not because he‘s busy… He plays snooker and games, but he refuses to accompany us and Mommy. Does Daddy not love us anymore …?”

Before he could finish what he wanted to say, tears welled up in his eyes.

Melody bit her lower lip and sniffed. She could not help but start to cry too when she saw him crying. ”

George pursed his lips. “Winters Corporation is currently developing an online game. Perhaps he‘s testing the game out…”

He was trying to find an excuse on his father‘s behalf.

However, after he walked a little closer, he saw the screen of the game console reflected on the glass.

It was a very popular online game on the market, and it had nothing to do with Winters Corporation.

His heart sank immediately.

Earl, who was playing games, suddenly turned because he felt like someone was watching him.

When he saw the four children standing in the corridor, he smiled, knowing that things were going to become more interesting.

He put down the console and stood up. He then walked up to them. “Why don‘t you all come in since you guys are here?”

“Daddy, you‘ve gone overboard!” Harold cried as he screamed,” You‘d rather stay in your office to play games than to come home and accompany us! Do you know how much we miss you?”

Earl was amused.

He hated children the most. It was funny how he was willing to listen to those children whine in front of him.

He rubbed his ears and said impatiently, “What do you all want? Just say it.”

“Are you coming home?” George asked coldly. “Ever since you got married to Mommy, you‘ve never stayed a night in the house. Why are you doing this?”

“Is this how you speak to an adult?” Earl was angered. He lifted his chin, making him give off a wicked air. “It‘s up to me whether I want to go home or not. Who are you to ask me that?”

George was furious as his eyes became teary.

‘It has been a month since I saw him. Why do I feel that Daddy has become more terrifying than before?‘

“Daddy is bad…” Melody bawled. “I don‘t like Daddy anymore. I don‘t want Daddy anymore…”

Her soft voice irritated Earl all the more.

I hate children, but why do I feel sorry for this little girl the moment she cries? Something must be wrong with me.

‘Is it because we‘re related?

‘Something must be very wrong with me!

“Duke and I are foes. How can I feel sorry for his daughter just because we‘re related?

‘This must be a joke!‘

He snorted, “Stop it. If you want to cry, go home and cry. Don‘t interfere with my work here.”

Melody cried even louder. It was shocking that even though she was just a tiny girl, she could scream her head off.

Alden, who had always cared for his sister, indifferently held his ground. He neither tried to comfort nor coax her. He stared at Earl as if he wanted to carve the image of the man he once trusted and accepted into his mind.

Earl was taken aback by that look that Alden gave him. It was as if everything he planned had been seen through.
