Earl was stunned for a second. Then, he managed a smile. “Be a good girl and go home. I will come
home tonight.”
“Yay!” Melody stopped crying and smiled. “I will be a good girl and wait for you to come home, Daddy.”
“Miss Clark, take the kids home.” Earl rubbed his brow and gave the order in an indifferent tone.
Miss Clark walked in and said with a gentle smile, “Young Master George, Young Master Harold, Young
Master Alden, and Young Lady Melody, let me take you home.”
George said flatly, “You can just walk us to the elevator.”
Miss Clark spent a few seconds observing him.
It was not as if she had not seen George come to the office before. She had always assumed he was
Mr. Winters‘ nephew, but as it was, he was his son.
His eyes and his demeanor showed that he was the spitting image of Mr. Winters.
She only learned after watching the news that Mr. Winters and Ms. Daugherty already had four
children.
However, Mr. Winters seemed to have been occupied with work since he got married. First, he took a
business trip to Europe for two weeks, and he was basically off the grid during that time.
Immediately after, he worked day and night at the company for another week.
Mr. Winters had moved all of the company‘s project files and account books to his office. He obviously
wanted to burn the midnight oil. These account books had been signed and archived by Mr. Winters
himself. She could not figure out why Mr. Winters would suddenly dig out these things and reorganize
them after his wedding.
Later, the secretaries in the secretarial department speculated that Mr. Winters was probably planning
on wealth distribution.
He had four children, after all. The distribution of wealth within rich families had always been a knotted
mess that could not be untangled since ancient times.
Mr. Brown waited anxiously at the driver‘s seat. Then, he saw the children walking out of Winters
Corporation with glum expressions on their faces.
He hurriedly pushed open the car door and greeted them.” Young Master George, what did the master
say? Oh, why are you crying, Young Lady Melody? Come, let me give you a hug.”
The little girl snuggled into Mr. Brown‘s arms as she took a loud sniff. With her eyes sparkling with
tears, she said, “Daddy said he‘s coming home tonight.”
“Isn‘t that a good thing?” Mr. Brown was relieved. “Young Master George, Young Master Harold, Young
Master Alden, why are you…”
Their expressions were dark. Their eyes glowed with rage. Especially for Alden. There was a fleeting
hostility in his eyes.
“We are fine.” Alden suppressed the emotions he felt and said flatly, “Mr. Brown, let‘s go home and tell
Mommy the good news.”
The phrase “good news” somehow sounded sarcastic to Mr. Brown‘s ears.
Duke going home was supposed to be a normal thing, but when it was described as good news, it
sounded strange.
Mr. Brown did not know what to say. After placing Melody in the back seat securely and fastening her
seat belt, he returned to the driver‘s seat.
The car arrived at the Winters family‘s mansion slowly and smoothly.
Harold pushed open the car door and looked around for Adina.
“Your mother got a call from her office. She went for a meeting,” Mabel said with a smile. “She will be
back before dinner.”
Melody ran out of the car and said excitedly, “Grandma, Daddy is coming home tonight.”
Mabel was stunned, and it took Mabel a moment to figure out what she was saying. “You went to see
Daddy in the company?”
Melody nodded with all her strength. “That‘s right. We saw Daddy. He said he has been too busy, but
he will come home to spend time with us tonight.”
“That… That‘s good.”
Mabel was a little lost in thought.
She remembered everything Earl said that night. Did the fact that these kids got away unscathed from
Earl indicate that he still had a conscience?
“He made Mel cry,” Alden said calmly. “His work couldn‘t possibly have kept him from his family for this
long. He wouldn‘t have come home if we hadn‘t gone to see him today. Grandma, tell me, why would a
newly married man with four children not come home for up to a month?“
