Chapter 571
“Sorry, Addy. It all happened so suddenly that I didn‘t have time to tell you.”
Duke‘s voice came from the other end of the line. There seemed to be shrieks of panic from a crowd and roaring fire from a collapsing beam.
Adina felt even more worried, and she spoke in a serious, as well as stern manner, “You have to be careful. The cemetery can be rebuilt if it burns down, but if you...”
She pursed her lips. “In short, be safe. The kids and I will be waiting for you.”
“Okay, I‘ll go home as soon as I can. Don‘t worry.”
After Adina hung up, her heart remained dejected. She felt burdened as if a disaster was coming.
“Addy, are you done calling Duke? We have to go and make a toast now.” Mrs. Winters walked over and handed her a glass of champagne.
Adina placed the phone in her pocket before she flashed Mrs. Winters a smile. “Okay, let‘s go.”
There were a few hundred tables of guests at the wedding banquet. Experts from different industries were seated at each table, and they were all famous and reputable VIPs.
After Adina gave a toast to so many tables, she was exhausted.
She only took a small sip whenever she made a toast, but by the time she went through all those tables, she had drunk at least several glasses.
“Mommy, your face is so red!”
Harold blinked and curiously asked, “Will my face turn red too after I drink this?”
Melody licked her lips. “I want to drink it too.”
“Kids can‘t drink this,” Alden said indifferently. “But we can ask Grandma to prepare some fruit wine for you.”
The last time the little girl had fruit wine, it was sweet and particularly tasty, so she nodded and said, “Okay, I want some fruit wine.”
“Your mommy‘s exhausted. Let her catch her breath in the resting lounge first. I‘ll take you to get some fruit wine.” Mrs. Winters then brought the four kids to a private room.
The private room had been reserved for the four children. It had a table of cakes, desserts, and an endless supply of fruit wine.
Mrs. Winters smiled and said, “Alden, don‘t worry. You‘ll just feel sleepy after you drink the wine. It‘s not a big deal. Later, I’ll take the four of you home with your daddy and mommy!”
