Chapter 915 She raised her hand and forcefully shoved Mabel away. Mabel had not expected Adina to do that. Caught off guard, her whole body collapsed onto the carpet.
ââI stopped considering you a motherâinâlaw in my heart from the moment you decided to cover for Earl. Regardless, you are still the childrenâs grandmother, so I will always respect you.â Adina stared down her nose at Mabel. âBut, no matter what, you should not have sent Melody into Earlâs hands. If something had really happened to her, I probably wouldnât have held back from sending you to meet Earl.â
Her face was indifferent, yet her words carried a ruthless determination behind them. âDuke, did you hear that? This is the wife you married, and she wants to kill your mother!â Mabel looked at Duke. Her voice was hoarse. âThis witch will only throw our family into chaos. She killed your brother, and now she wants to kill me,â
Duke coldly said, âThe Winters family has always been chaotic. It doesnât make a difference whether Addy is here or not. Mother, go back to Ascrialia. If I have the time, Iâll bring the kids over to visit you.â
Mabel became depressed, and her body wilted at this. She still could not believe it. âDuke, your brother is dead, and I no longer have anything keeping me going. Are you still going to send me away?â
âThen, what do you want to stay here for, Mrs. Winters?â The corners of Adinaâs lips stretched into a cold smile. âThe happier our family of six becomes, the more injustice youâll feel on Earlâs behalf. To you, Earl is your only son, so donât stay here and constantly give your other son heartache.â
Mabel clutched her chest, and her tears flowed endlessly.
Dukeâs face was still unwavering. âMother, you should pack up for tonightâs flight at nine oâclock.â
When he finished talking, he took Adinaâs hand and the two of them walked sideâbyâside up to the second floor.
Mabel covered her mouth and cried once more.
When they reached their bedroom, Adina let go of Dukeâs hand and looked up at him. âAre you going to hold it against me for how I treated your mother?â Duke placed a hand on the back of Adinaâs neck.
Softly, he said, âAddy, I should have sent my mother away sooner. I was too softâhearted, thatâs why things gradually came to the point of no return.â
Adina snuggled into his arms. That day, at eight oâclock, Mr. Brown personally sent Mabel to the Sea City airport. When the children received the news, Mabel had already boarded the flight to Ascrialia.
Melody tilted her head, and inexplicably asked, âMommy, why is Grandma going by herself?â
âGrandma said that sheâd take us on vacation to Ascrialian farms.â Harold pouted. âThere are dairy cows and kangaroos there. Grandma said theyâre really cute. I want to pet one!â
Adina gave a warm smile and said, âOnce weâre through this busy period, Iâll take you all there to see Grandma.â
âYes!â Harold skipped happily. âWhen that time comes, can the six of us all go together?â He was jumping around Adina and accidentally stepped on her foot. Adina was wearing slippers with her toes exposed. The little boy had used a lot of strength in his jump, and her big toe immediately communicated the pain. She winced, and her red lips were pursed in displeasure. Even her tone became more severe.â Harold, you canât be so careless from now on. If this happens again, Iâll make you stand for an hour.â
Harold was stunned.
âI only stepped on Mommyâs toe. Itâs not like this is the first time, and every time Mommy would say itâs alright. Why this time?â âHurry up and apologize to Mommy.â Alden tugged at him.
