The corners of Duke‘s lips twitched. The Winters family children were all highly intelligent. That was at
least true for George and Alden. But Duke just could not understand how Harold ended up being this
stupid.
He sneered. “Are you sure your gift was delivered into your mommy‘s hands?”
Harold was stunned for a moment before he angrily stood up. “Did Uncle Daniel keep the gifts that I
bought for Mommy?!”
Duke was speechless. ‘This stupid son is beyond saving.‘
“Daddy, is Mommy really coming? Melody asked warily. There was hope in her eyes.
Duke nodded. “In order not to shock your mommy into recalling the past, you should call her Aunt
Deena. Don‘t say too much, so as not to arouse her suspicion.” “This is the place Mommy used to live
in. When she is in a familiar environment, it would also make Mommy recall the past, wouldn‘t it?”
Alden said slowly, “If Daddy doesn‘t want Mommy to recall the past, she shouldn‘t come here.”
Duke shook his head. “The four of you and I are people she used to know. In order for you to show up
before her without any trouble arising, she must visit our home at least once. If the house can help her
recall the past, then there‘s no need for us to stage more appearances and meetings...”
“I understand,” George said, “Since we want Mommy to come home, we have to let her accept all of
this. It‘s just that we can‘t all call her Mommy for now. We have to do everything slowly.” “Either way,
Mommy‘s coming home!” Harold danced happily. “I‘m going to prepare lots of gifts for her!”
“Control yourself,” Alden said coolly, “If you make her suspicious, Mommy may never come back in the
future.”
“O–okay...” Harold‘s little face drooped.
Over the past four years, every time he saw a beautiful dress, he would buy it for his mommy. The
wardrobe in his room was filled with the most beautiful dresses.
When his mommy came home to the Winters family‘s mansion for real, he would give her all those
dresses in his wardrobe! The night was getting darker. Adeena had taken a shower and sat on her bed,
tapping her laptop
She had two projects on hand, and she had to personally refine and change many of the details...
Buzzz!
Her phone vibrated suddenly.
She glanced at the caller ID. It was an unfamiliar Sea City number.
She frowned and answered the call. “It‘s me.”
Adeena was momentarily stunned at hearing these two words. ‘Duke...‘
Why was this man calling her this late at night? She tried to calm her wildly beating heart and calmly
said, “Mr. Winters?”
“I‘m downstairs.” His words almost made Adeena jump out of bed. She took a deep break “Mr. Winters,
what are you playing at?” “Go to your balcony and have a look, or else you won‘t know.” Adeena put
down her laptop and got off the bed. She walked slowly to the balcony, then she parted the curtains by
a small gap.
This was the third floor, and she could just make out a tall camphor tree under the apartment. Aman
dressed in casual clothing was standing under the tree. The dim yellow streetlights fell on his
shoulders, making his cold and hard features appear much softer.
In the sky, there were the moon and stars, and under the tree, there was him... Adeena‘s heart beat
uncontrollably. No matter how she tried to suppress it, the palpitations would not stop
The man‘s words from earlier that day still rang in her ears. “Ms. Willis, I am courting you, don‘t you
understand?... Ms. Willis, I‘d like to call you Adee.”
Adeena clutched her chest as her ears heated up. Even if she did not look in the mirror, she knew that
her ears must be red.
