Chapter 35
Harold sniffed and suppressed his griet,
Tears could be seen in his eyes, which pulled at Adina‘s heartstrings.
This kid was a little mischievous, but he would not bully Melody,
Besides, Duke was an adult, Why would he hit a four–year–old girl?
She was insane to actually think that the Winters had bullied her daughter.
Adina pursed her red lips and gently said, “Mr. Winters, Young Master Harold, I was mistaken. I‘m sorry. Thank you for helping Melody.”
“So her name‘s Melody. It sounds nice.” Harold blinked his black eyes. “Auntie Adina, can I be Melody‘s elder brother? I‘ll protect her like I did tonight. I won‘t let anyone bully her!”
Adina smiled faintly and said, “You‘ll have to see if Melody wants that or not.”
Harold quickly went to hold the girl‘s hand. “Melody, can I be your brother?”
However, he did not receive any response.
Melody kept staring at Duke, her eyes full of longing.
Adina did not understand why Melody was so interested in Duke. She had also behaved the same way on the road a few days ago
She held her daughter in her arms tightly before she indifferently said, “Mr. Winters, I‘ll go ahead and take care of Mel‘s injuries. Please excuse us.”
“Auntie Adina, my hand hurts too. Can you please help me?” Harold took the chance to raise his arm?
He had accidentally scratched it in the flowerbed earlier. It was just a small cut, which would not even leave a scar.
However, Young Master Harold‘s skin was too soft, so the injury could not be ignored.
Adina smiled softly and said, “You can come upstairs with me then.”
They walked up to the second floor via the staircase in the backyard, and before they entered the room, she realized that someone else was behind them.
She frowned and looked at the man who was following them. “Mr. Winters, what are you doing?”
“I‘m worried about leaving my son with strangers,” Duke pursed his lips and said coldly.
Olay
She pushed the room door open, walked inside, and put Melody down. She helped Melody take off her dirty clothes before she carried her into the shower.
“No way!”
