After Adina left with the children, the initially lively living room became quiet and gloomy.
Harold was sulking on the couch as he played with the Legos and puzzles that Melody had not finished
putting together.
George raised his head and walked to Duke’s side. He asked indifferently, “Daddy, did you make
Mommy angry?”
Duke frowned. “What makes you say that?”
“Mommy’s mood has been a little off since she came out of the kitchen. I thought Mommy was too tired,
but during dinner just now, Mommy did not say a word to you.” George continued. “Did you say
something harsh to Mommy?”
Duke pinched his brows. “It’s some adult stuff. It’s too complicated for a kid to understand.”
He did something terrible five years ago.
On that night, he had been so drunk and confused that he could not remember what he had done.
He would never have let Trent get him drunk if he had known it would end up like this today.
However…
Duke smiled a little.
If that incident had not occurred that night five years ago, he and Adina would not have these four
children.
If it were not for these four children , he and she would never have met in this life.
What was the probability of a person meeting the one who makes your heart flutter?
He had heard that the chances are less than one in ten million.
Since he had found her now, he would never let her go.
“So, it’s you who upset Mommy!” It took Harold a few seconds to understand what George said. “That
explains why Mommy looked so upset tonight. No wonder Mommy didn’t kiss me. It’s all your fault,
Daddy! Hmph! It’s fine if you don’t like Mommy. The point is, I like her. When I grow up, I’m going to
marry Mommy!”
Duke’s expression darkened . “Do you even know what you are talking about?”
“Hmph! The point is, I like Mommy. I want to be with Mommy forever! If you are incompetent, then I will
do it!” Harold got farther away from him and made a face at him. Then, he ran away and hid upstairs.
The look on Duke’s face was so awfully gloomy.
He was incompetent?
If he was incompetent, this brat would not have been born!
“Mommy is the most beautiful woman in Sea City. There are a lot of men who like Mommy. Good luck,
Daddy.”
George glanced at Duke briefly before he went upstairs as well.
Duke sat on the couch. His brow furrowed into a crease so deep it could clamp a fly to death.
He took out his phone and found Trent’s contact. He typed out a sentence in the input field. “How do
you usually woo women? What are your most effective methods?”
After he typed that out, he felt that something was not right. So he deleted that message.
Adina was not like other women.
Those methods of Trent simply would not work on Adina.
Besides, if he used Trent’s methods to woo Adina, it somehow just felt disrespectful.
However, he just could not think of a good way to do it.
Mr. Winters always had a plan. Nothing could scare him, but he was not extremely frustrated.
He clicked open his Facebook account and swiped
through it casually. His gaze suddenly paused.
He saw a long post.
“I met a patient today. She is suffering from a severe psychological disorder. She was traumatized
when she was little. Twelve years had passed since that incident, and she had long forgotten about it.
However, during her wedding night with her husband , she suddenly recalled the horrible past. She
loves her husband very much, but every time she recalled the past when she was raped, she could not
sleep on the same bed with her husband. Almost every month, I meet at least one patient like her.”
He was just swiping through his phone casually, but this had got his attention. How could he forget that
he knew a psychiatrist in his circle of friends?
