Adina’s cold heart gradually melted. She held Harold’s chubby hand and softly said, “I also like you
very much.” Harold’s eyes brightened, as if a galaxy was shining brightly in his eyes. Adina could not
bear the sight anymore, or she would not be able to hold herself from crying again. She flipped open
the album, gently smiled, and said, “Harold, tell me some interesting things from the time when you and
George were even younger.”
Harold leaned on Adina’s knees and supported his chin with his arms. “George is very old fashioned.
He acts like an adult. Nothing interesting ever happened to us when we were even younger. Auntie
Adina, my brother is boring, but he isn’t a bad person to anyone. Besides, he likes Mel very much. He
will never hurt you, since you’re Mel’s mom. Even if he has hurt you, there must be a
misunderstanding.” Adin stroked his hair. “I know George is not a bad boy.”
Harold sat up straight and said solemnly, “Auntie Adina, I apologize on behalf of my brother. I hope you
won’t hold it against him, and please don’t ignore me because of him, okay?”
He tentatively tugged at Adina’s sleeve. Adina chuckled and said, “Why would I hold a grudge against a
four-year-old kid?” George took revenge for Dew because he thought Dew was his biological mother.
Meanwhile, Dew only became the boys’ biological mother because Adina, the real mother, had not
fulfilled her responsibility.
If she was stronger and wiser on that night from four years ago, she would not have let the boys be
separated from her for so long.
“Auntie Adina, why did your eyes turn red again?” Harold felt worried as he asked. Adina shook her
head. “I’m okay. Let’s continue looking through the photos.” As she flipped through the photos, she
seemed to have experienced the four seasons with the boys and accompanied them to grow up from
babies to kids.
The atmosphere in the meeting room of Winters Corporation was dull and suppressive. Everyone
sitting in the room lowered their heads, and they looked very skittish.
Duke sat on the main seat, and he tapped the office table with his fingers. Jake stood up and softly
said, “Mr. Winters, everyone is here. You may start the meeting now.” Duke frowned. “Has the
entourage from LaStar Technology Corporation arrived yet?” “Hello, Mr. Winters. I’m Serene Reyes, the
assistant of the general manager of Lastar
Technology Corporation.” Serene stood up, and she respectfully said, “Miss Daugherty has given full
authority to me to be in charge of the third review meeting of Project A-F…” Halfway through her
sentence, she could feel the atmosphere in the room choking up even more.
She instantly hunched her shoulders.
Duke had been to LaStar Technology Corporation a few times previously, and he always chatted quite
happily with Miss Daugherty, so Serene always thought that Mr. Winters was an easy-going person.
But at this time, when she saw just how terrified the people in the meeting room were and saw this
man’s cold and darkened expression, she realized that Duke was more terrifying than the rumors.
Duke pursed his lips and looked down coldly. Did the woman plan to keep avoiding him? She did not
even give him a chance to meet with her. He took out his phone and made a call. It was only when the
dialing sound rang in his ear that Duke suddenly realized what he was doing He actually wanted to call
that woman and ask why she had not come. Did he… lose his mind?
But he was already calling her. It was not his style to suddenly end the phone call. “Hello, Mr. Winters?”
An indifferent voice came from the other end of the call. When he listened to the voice, he could tell
that the voice was a little hoarse.
