Chapter 254 “I have a son and a daughter. They are four years old.” Adina was honest. “I‘ve raised my children alone for four years, and their father has approached me recently. He wants to take custody of them. Do I have a chance of winning?”
Brenden tried very hard to suppress his shock.
He initially thought that there was something between Duke and Ms. Daugherty. It looked like he had the wrong expectation.
He pushed his glasses up and finally remembered that he was a lawyer. He schooled his expression and said, “Ms. Daugherty, please tell me everything about the kids, their father, and how you‘re raising the kids at the moment.”
