While Flint had suspected it long ago, he was still shocked.” Isn‘t Duke the only child in the Winters
family?”
“Dad does have a twin brother.” George pursed his lips and said, “I heard about it from Grandma on
Grandpa‘s death anniversary when I was three.”
Melody widened her eyes blankly. “When did Daddy become our uncle?”
“Did he make the switch after the wedding?” Harold found it incredulous. “After Daddy and Mommy got
married, he went on a business trip for two weeks, and he became more frightening after that. It turns
out that he isn‘t Daddy. So, where did our daddy go?”
Tears streamed down his cheeks.
Adina raised her hand and wiped away his tears before she put on a calm front. She gently smiled and
said, “I found out that your daddy‘s here. That‘s why I took you out of the country to look for him. Don‘t
worry, I‘ve found some clues. I‘ll be able to find Daddy very quickly, and our family will reunite soon.”
The shock in Alden‘s eyes was slowly replaced by relief.
He thought that after his dad married his mom, his dad stopped loving his mom, Melody, and him.
The heart he had opened in the beginning closed once again because of his daddy‘s abnormal
behavior.
The process was incredibly painful, and he struggled to get through it. In the end, there was still a part
of his heart that was missing.
Alden finally found out that his dad never changed. His dad still loved him, Melody, and his mom. He
was just missing for the time being.
But how could a living adult simply disappear all of a sudden?
Alden‘s happiness instantly vanished, and his eyes were full of tension.
“Look at how scared you are.” Flint seemed relaxed as he smiled. “Don‘t worry. Your Dad will come
back to you in a month.”
Adina also reassured him. “Your dad loves you so much. How could he leave willingly? He’ll come back
soon.”
Her faith was the only thing that pushed her to deal with Earl for so long.
Her hope was the only thing that drove her to a foreign country far away.
That same faith and hope enabled her kids to continue being carefree and happy.
“I‘ll go and do the dishes first.”
Adina took the empty plates from the dining table into the kitchen, and the sound of water flowing made
her stare into space for a while.
She had been incredibly unnerved these past few days. She was in a tense and suffocating mood all
the time.
Perhaps the children had helped to bear some of it after her talk with them, so she felt more relaxed for
some reason.
As long as she firmly believed and kept persisting , she could find Duke.
When Flint looked at the figure who was doing the dishes in the kitchen, he sighed heavily.
He had to call his father to send more people over. They could only find Duke sooner if they had more
manpower.
While the two adults were busy, the four kids looked at each other.
George was the first to say, “Alden, let‘s go upstairs. I have something to discuss with you.”
Harold immediately got up. “I want to know too.”
“Are you sure you‘ll be able to understand ?” Alden pursed his lips. “It‘ll be good enough if you can take
great care of Mel.”
As he said that, he took George upstairs and entered the study.
Harold was disgruntled, but there was nothing he could do. He really was not as smart as the two of
them.
Fine, taking good care of Melody was an important matter too.
Once Alden entered the study, he turned on his laptop and quickly tapped on the keyboard.
