“All men change. It‘s the same for a company president. All rich and powerful men are the same.”
“Ms. Daugherty is so pitiful. She is being cheated on after she just got married. She is probably still
being kept in the dark about it.”
“And they had four children together. Mr. Winters‘ mistress came to see him right after they left.”
Adina drove home after she settled things at the company.
Before she drove her car into the Winters family‘s mansion, she saw a familiar black car in the
courtyard.
She parked the car and raised her eyes to look inside the mansion. She saw a familiar figure sitting on
the sofa in the living room.
Mabel was talking to him. Melody was leaning against him, squinting slightly. It looked like she had
fallen asleep.
George and Alden were sitting and reading on the opposite
couch. Harold was assembling a Transformer robot toy. The atmosphere in the living room was serene
and pleasant.
Adina stood at the entrance. She was somewhat afraid to enter.
She was afraid she would ruin the pleasant atmosphere that had not appeared in a long time.
“You are back, Addy!”
Mabel saw her first and greeted her with a smile.
The man sitting on the couch shifted his gaze over. His cold gaze fell on Adina.
Immediately, he stood up, forgetting that Melody was still leaning against him. The little girl let out a soft
moan.
He scooped Melody up into his arms again. Then, he walked toward Adina. “Were you busy at work?”
His voice was not the same as the look in his eyes. They were cold and detached, but his voice carried
a rare hint of tenderness.
At that moment, Adina had a strong suspicion that this man had a split personality disorder.
“I‘ve not been as busy as you are.” Adina lowered her head as she changed her shoes. Her voice
carried little emotion. “What? Have you finally finished your work?”
“Are you sulking?”
The man walked over. He stretched his big hand and suddenly wrapped his arm around her slender
waist.
Adina found it repulsive and instinctively wanted to get away from his embrace.
The man, however, lowered his head and whispered into her ear, “The children are watching. Do you
want the children to watch their daddy and mommy fight?”
Adina turned her head and saw three boys looking at her with gleaming eyes.
They looked like they were on the verge of rushing over if Duke dared to bully her.
She sighed and softened her tone. “Wake Mel up. It‘s time for dinner.”
“I will take Mel to freshen up.” Mabel walked over and carried Melody over. She said with a smile,
“Married couples shouldn‘t bear grudges against each other. Whatever the problem is, let‘s just talk it
out with each other. Georgie, Hal, Al, come on. Follow me to the bathroom to wash your hands and get
ready for dinner.”
Mabel, with Melody in her arms, forced Alden, who did not want to leave, into the bathroom with her.
They were soon the only two people left in the living room.
Adina stepped forward and avoided the man‘s touch.
She looked up and was about to speak when her gaze fell on the man‘s collar.
It was a bright red lipstick stain. It was so obvious and blatant.
In this instant, Adina suddenly realized why this man had suddenly changed, why he suddenly did not
want to go home anymore.
However, wasn‘t it a little too soon for him to become unfaithful?
