The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became freezing.
Duke took the box from the tea table and threw it to Mrs. Winters. “Who gave this to you?” Guilt flashed
across Mrs. Winters’ eyes, but she pretended to be calm as she said, “A good friend whom I haven’t
met for a long time gave it to me. Is there a problem?”
“Mom, am I an idiot to you?” Duke sneered. “Earl’ is written on the right corner of the box. That’s been
Earl’s habit for many years. He clearly knows that I don’t like you meeting him, vet he still signed his
name on the gift box that he gave you. Mom, don’t you understand why he’s doing this?”
Mrs. Winters’ eyes began to tear up.
She looked at the signature on the gift box, and her voice trembled a little. “Duke, he’s your biological
brother. Can’t you just accept him? He’s changed. He’s changed into a good person. Just give him one
more chance, okay?” “If I give him a chance, who will give Dad a chance?” Duke’s voice was full of
pain. “If the chance I give him can bring Dad back from the dead, I’ll give him hundreds of chances!”
Mrs. Winters covered her face and started crying. “Your father had cancer, and it was just a matter of
time before he died. Why do you keep thinking that your brother caused his death?” Duke’s expression
turned cold. He did not want to say another word.
Due to that incident, he lost his father, and the whole Winters family nearly fell apart.
He would never forgive Earl. It was impossible.
He went upstairs, entered his study, and made a call. “Contact the CEO of Elitos. Ask him to transfer
Earley Wynters back to Europe.”
Outside the study, two boys gently sneaked back to their room.
“George, how come Dad has a brother? Why haven’t I heard about it from Dad?” Harold asked in
disbelief.
“Based on biology, the gene for twins is inherited. We’re quadruplets, so dad should at least be a twin.”
George’s expression was serious as he said, “But it looks like there’s been a misunderstanding
between Dad and his brother because of Grandpa.”
Harold scratched his head. “Dad made it sound like Grandpa died because of our uncle. This is not a
misunderstanding. This is clearly a feud!”
George pursed his lips and did not say anything else. kids like them could not interfere with the grudge
between the previous generation.
They did not go home the night before, but their house looked the same as it did before they left.
Adina helped Melody take a shower. Only after she put the girl to bed did she start to clean the living
room and the house.
Alden obediently took the mop for her. “Mommy, I’ll do it with you.” Adina suddenly felt sad.
If Alden had grown up with the Winters family, many servants would have taken care of him, and he
would not have needed to suffer.
The more mature and well-behaved Alden was, the more incapable she felt as a mother. “Alden, I’m
sorry.”
Adina stroked Alden’s head, and her eyes were full of guilt.
Alden raised his head and smiled obediently as he said, “Mom, actually Georgie and Hal envy me and
Mel because we were able to live with you for four years, as well as be with you every day. They
weren’t able to… Compared with them, Mel and I are clearly happier. Why are you apologizing?”
Adina’s heart melted. “My Alden! I must have saved the world in my previous life to give birth to such
an obedient and thoughtful son like you.”
Alden looked down.
In reality, he was not obedient at all. He had secretly done many things that his mom had forbidden him
from doing.
