Alden held Melody’s hand while he walked over. He obediently said, “Mommy, Daddy.”
Melody learned from him and sweetly said, “Mommy, Daddy.” Duke bent down to lift the girl. “Did you
miss Daddy at school today?” “Yes!”
Melody nodded hard. Her smile was pure and bright Alden raised his head and frowned slightly.
“Mommy, why do you look unwell?”
Adina smiled and said, “I was in the meeting the whole day. Someone was smoking in the office, and it
was so suffocating, so I felt a little dizzy. Come on, let’s get in the car first.”
Duke put Melody in the back passenger seat and carefully buckled the seat belt for the children before
he started the engine.
Alden sat in the back and leaned forward a little. He sniffed hard but did not smell cigarettes from
Adina
He instantly saw the scarf around Adina’s neck. He remembered that she did not have the habit of
wearing a scarf.
He slowly said, “Mommy, your scarf’s quite pretty.”
Adina’s heart skipped a beat.
She understood her son too well. Whenever he brought up a subject, he had a purpose.
In other words, Alden already suspected that there was something on her neck. It was actually nothing
for Alden to see it. The problem was, the whole thing was just too creepy, and she had not even
discovered what had happened.
“Alden, you think this scarf is pretty too?” Duke suddenly said. “It’s a gift from me to your mom, but she
doesn’t think it’s pretty. Alden, be honest, does this scarf make your mom’s skin look fairer?”
Alden stared at the scarf and did not answer.
Melody suddenly clapped. “It’s nice! It’s very pretty!”
Adina smiled and said, “Mel, if you like the scarl, I’ll give it to you, okay?” Melody waved. “Daddy gave
this to Mommy as a gift. I don’t want it.” Duke smiled happily

Slowdinvii’ hx, Mon’t usulast!”
Mrs. Winters put down her teacup before she also walked out of the house.
When she saw the children, her gloominess from last night instantly disappeared. She walked over and
held her granddaughter in her arms before she smiled and said, “Mel, did you miss Grandma?”
“Yes!”
Melody’s eyes were full of joy. She did not look like she used to be an autistic child. Mrs. Winters had
bought some good stuff from an auction again today. She could not wait to let the servants take them
out and lay them on the climbing mat like it was a flea market.
“Mommy, I miss you so much!”
Right when Harold wanted to climb onto Adina’s body, Duke carried him instead. The boy moved
around uncomfortably. “Daddy, I don’t want your hug. I want Mommy to hug me.”
“Either I hug you or you stand,” Duke said coldly. Harold tilted his head, contemplated for a few
minutes, and seemingly compromised. “Okay, I’ll just stand.” Duke was speechless. This must not be
his biological son!
