Chapter 147 Harold hid his hands under the blanket and held his them tightly.
He was extremely nervous. He stared at Adina bashfully and was afraid of seeing her shake her head.
Adina contemplated for a few seconds.
Honestly, she still had not figured out why Melody would call Duke “Daddy.”
Besides, why had Melody sneaked out of preschool and gone to Winters Corporation, which was far away?
Had Duke given Melody some kind of drug? Luckily, Melody could speak now. Adina believed that Melody would tell her the answer after some time.
Adina snapped out of her daze before she stared into Harold’s eyes. She softly said, “Mel doesn’t understand what ‘Daddy’ means, so she made a mistake. But you should know what’ Mom’ means. I’m not your mom. You have your own Mom, right?”
Harold’s eyes instantly turned red. He bit his bottom lip and felt angry as he said, “I have one, but so what? I don’t like her. That selfish woman can’t be my mom!”
Adina suddenly felt sad. She did not know why she felt that way either. She caressed Harold’s face and gently said, “All mothers love their children. If your mom hears what you say, she’ll feel hurt.” “She won’t feel hurt. She doesn’t love me!” Harold bit his lip really hard. “She’s just busy thinking about how to marry Dad and become Mrs. Winters! She never cares about me. She never treats me as her son!”
Harold felt increasingly wronged. He rushed into Adina’s arms and started crying softly.
