Chapter 297
It was nighttime, and the sky was pitch dark
Everyone was happy with their dinner:
Adina held her two children’s hands and walked towards the door. “Al, Mel, say bye-bye to Papa Brown and Uncle Duke.”
Alden obediently said, “Bye-bye, Papa Brown. Bye-bye, Uncle Duke. Bye-bye, Harold.”
Mel pursed her lips and waved her hand.
“Auntie Adina, come earlier tomorrow evening. We can play before having our dinner!” Harold’s eyes lit up. “Melody, I’ll buy a new puzzle tomorrow. Let’s fix the puzzle together!”
The little girl looked at him for a moment before nodding lightly. Duke said plainly, “Let me send you home.” “It’s alright, Mr. Winters.” Adina shook her head. “I drove here. I can go back on my own.
After she was done speaking, she then walked out of the mansion with her children. When she reached her car, she opened the door for Melody…
As she was putting on the children’s seatbelts, she could feel an intense gaze fixed on her.
Ever since they finished dinner, Duke had been staring at her strangely. There was a hint of a certain emotion that she could not understand in those dark pupils of his. Adina got into the car quickly, started the engine, and drove away. The Winters family’s mansion was halfway up the mountain, via a two-lane winding road. It was a secluded area for the wealthy, and not many cars drove on the road.
She drove down the mountain, and when she was at the foot of the mountain, she saw a familiar figure standing on the side of the road…
She slowed down and narrowed her eyes, looking closely at the child’s face.
“It’s that child!
That child saved her once, schemed against her once, and claimed to be Dew’s son!
Adina stopped her car.
She then turned to the back of the car, “Hal, look after Mel. I’ll be right back.”
