My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144

Ever since he was born, Dad had never spoken to him like that before.

If Dad could be that gentle and patient with him, he would not have thought of running away from home.

But when Harold looked at the beautiful girl, he instantly felt troubled. If he looked one-tenth as good as Mel, Dad would also like him.

Why did he look so ugly?

Mel threw the puzzles away and stood up. She stared at Duke and slowly took the first step.

But just as she took one step, she hesitantly moved back.

She looked down and carefully took a look at Alden.

Others did not know what her gaze meant, but Alden understood it.

He had told Mel that this man did not deserve their love, so Mel hesitated.

Alden felt extremely conflicted. He stood up, held Melody’s hand, and said in a deep voice, “Mel, you can go anywhere you want. I’ll go with you.” 11

The little girl pursed her lips and smiled.

She held Alden’s hand and walked toward Duke with excitement.

“Mel’s a good girl.”

Duke sighed in relief for some reason.

He was actually afraid that the little girl would refuse to go to him. If that happened, his claims to Adina would sound hilarious.

Luckily, the girl gave him back some dignity.
