Chapter 341
The piano music resounded in the courtyard.
Adina held Alden’s hand and softly said, “Every child should have a father as they grow up. Look at Mel. She has smiled more than she ever has in the last four years now that she has a father figure—”
Halfway through her sentence, Alden interrupted her. “So, you’re with Duke because of Mel and me?”
When Adina saw the way he was acting, she knew that this child must have reached a dead end again.
She stroked his hair. “No, I just find that Duke is really a good person. He’s responsible and caring toward children.”
Alden looked down.
Duke was a man who had made two women pregnant at the same time. How responsible could he be?
How could such a person be good enough to be his and Melody’s father?
But he had to admit that Melody had almost recovered from her autism because of Duke.
“Mom, I support all your decisions,” Alden slowly said. “I’ll always support you.”
It was 9.00 pm, and people were coming and going in Sea City’s airport. It was bustling.
Dew was pushing a luggage cart outside. As she walked, she said, “Aunt Mabel, it’s been about three years since you last came back to Sea City, right?”
Her tone was very friendly. “Sea City has changed a lot over these three years. The airport has also been recently renovated. It’s considered one of the top modern airports in the world. There are also new places to relax in Sea City. After your birthday party ends, I’ll bring you around.”
Mrs. Winters nodded. “I’ll be staying in Sea City for some time. I’ll count on you then.”
“You don’t have to be so polite with me. It would be an honor.” Dew smiled and said in a courteous manner. Confidence flashed in her eyes.
