Chapter 143 Duke was standing outside the villa. He could see the living room from his angle. Under the yellowish light, three kids were sitting on the mat while playing puzzles. Adina was sitting on the couch while tapping away on her laptop. She would raise her head and take a look at the three kids from time to time, and her smile was very gentle.
The scene was so warm that Duke felt reluctant to ruin it.
Eventually, he pursed his lips and pressed the doorbell. Ding dong! Adina raised her head, put down her laptop, and came over to open the door.
When she saw the man with the cold aura, she paused for a while before she said, “Mr. Winters, this is the second time that your son has come to me.”
Duke did not answer.
If he counted carefully, this should be the eighth time.
Mr. Brown had stopped Harold a few times, and the brat had come over at other times, but there was no one at home.
However, Duke would not tell the woman about that.
He stood at the door and spoke with a straight face. “Harold Winters, get over her.” When the doorbell rang just now, Harold had already hidden under the table.
He held the foot of the table, and as though he had been wronged, he stubbornly said, “I’m not going!”
He had finally escaped and found Aunt Adina. He did not want to part with her anymore!
Even if Dad wanted to spank him angrily, he still would not surrender!
Harold was mentally prepared to be beaten up. Unexpectedly, Duke did not get angry. He just nonchalantly said, “I’ll give you another twenty minutes. We’ll head back home once the time is up.”
Twenty minutes was short, but it was better than just leaving straight away.
The boy’s chubby face finally showed some signs of joy. He came out from the bottom of the table and cautiously stared at Duke who walked inside.
“Harold, you can play with Mel and Alden for a while,” Adina said helplessly.
