Chapter 556
He did not want Earl to destroy his happiness again.
Duke‘s anxiety was only growing stronger, and he could not calm himself down.
When the two of them drove back to the Winters family‘s mansion, his expression was still cold.
Adina beckoned to Melody.
The little girl understood her mother‘s gaze, so she climbed onto Duke‘s lap and softly said, “Daddy, are you not happy today?”
The cold expression rapidly melted away.
He lifted the girl and put her on his shoulder before he softly said, “I was just thinking about work just now. I‘m not unhappy.”
Melody grinned and said, “Daddy, I want you to lift me up!”
Duke lifted the girl high and threw her into the air before he caught her with both arms. Then, Melody‘s giggles could be heard in the living room.
“Daddy! Daddy! I also want to play!”
Harold fearlessly rushed over and grabbed Duke‘s pants.
Perhaps Duke had realized just how gloomy he had been, which led to him being more patient at the moment. He put Melody down, smiled faintly, and said, “Four of you, line up. We‘ll play one by one.”
“Yeah! Awesome!” Harold happily climbed onto Duke‘s lap. “I like you lifting me up high. I love it!”
Duke felt slightly ashamed.
He had lived with his sons for four years, but it seemed that he never nurtured any father–son bond with them.
The situation became slightly better after he met Adina.
He needed to make up for the loss of father‘s love for Alden and Melody, and he also had to make it up to George and Harold.
Duke threw Harold into the air before he caught him. After a few rounds, he looked at Alden. “Come, Alden, it‘s your turn now.”
Alden pursed his lips. “I don‘t like being lifted high.”
