Chapter 196

She leaned back in her chair as she waited.

However, she noticed Duke frown before he hung up the phone unhappily. she chuckled and said, “He refused to apologize, didn’t he?”

Duke’s expression turned cold. “Intelligent children have their own minds. They refuse to accept the world’s way or submit to anyone,” Adina said in an understanding manner. “Not everyone is as obedient and mature as my son, Alden. Mr. Winters, you better put more effort into educating your son.” Duke was speechless.

Obedient?

Mature? Was she really describing that cunning boy, Alden? “I’ll bring him here to apologize to you in person.” After Duke said that, he took the document from the desk and left. Adina shrugged as if she could not be bothered. It was normal for kids to make mistakes. She was very tolerant of that. She would be fine as long as they did not make the same mistake again. After Adina clocked off work, she went to pick her kids up from their preschool. Then, she took them to a hotel in the city center. She had agreed to meet with Mr. Albert previously, but it had to be postponed to today because Harold got involved in a car crash. Mr. Albert would leave on a flight at 9.00 pm tonight. She had to finalize things before Mr. Albert left.

The three of them took the elevator upstairs before they knocked on a presidential suite door. A haggard voice came from inside. “Come in.” Adina pushed the door open and held her children’s hands as they walked in. “Ms. Daugherty, it’s been a while. You’re more beautiful than you used to be.”

Mr. Albert was an old man in his seventies. His hair was gray, but he appeared to be in high spirits. He did not look like a seventy-year-old man. He then walked over with a bright smile. Just as he was about to give Adina a big hug, a small, short kid stood between him and Adina.
