Chapter 426
When he looked at himself in the mirror, Alden saw that his shirt collar was practically torn, his hair looked like a bird’s nest, and his mouth twitched.
George’s mouth twitched too. He did not even know who had made the red scratch mark on his face. The collar of his shirt was stained black, and he looked very disheveled. Only Harold remained absorbed in the fun of playing.” Alden, you lost today, haha! Hurry, call me big brother!” Alden rolled his eyes at him and said, “Take a look at Mel, then we’ll talk.”
Melody stood forlornly in front of the mirror and looked helplessly in the mirror at herself. Tears were threatening to spill from her eyes.
The little girl’s hair was long, but it was all over the place and looked like a bird’s nest now. Her chiffon dress had been tom in some places, and there were even a few dirty shoe prints on her pink dress. “Uh, I’m sorry, Mel.” Harold was very guilty. “I won’t do that again.”
Alden came over and helped tidy up his sister’s clothes and hair before leading her out while holding her hand,
The six of them sat down at the small dining table.

The four rascals had been too rowdy just now, so they were very quiet while eating their dinner.
After she was almost finished with her meal, Adina spoke tentatively, “Mr. Winters, it’s getting late already, why don’t you let Georgie and Hal stay at my place tonight?” Duke placed down his spoon and said, “I think I’ve said the same words to you yesterday.”
Adina was flabbergasted.
The Winters family had offered her to stay the night at their mansion, but she had turned them down.
Duke’s choice to reject her request for George and Harold to stay at her home tonight was understandable.
However, she really did not want to lose the chance to spend more time with the kids.
She pursed her lips and said, “Then, what should I do so that you’ll agree to let George and Harold stay the night here?”
