Chapter 460
She walked over, took a deep breath, and said, “Mrs. Winters, if you do this…” Mrs. Winters raised her head. “Call me Aunt Mabel.” “Aunt Mabel.” Adina immediately changed her address. “If you do this, you’ll spoil Mel. These are too expensive.”
“Kids don’t know that these things are expensive. To them, these are just toys.” Mrs. Winters stroked Melody’s hair. “Girls like shiny jewelry. Next time, I’ll bring Mel to a jewelry mall and buy her more jewelry so that she can bring them back and play with them.” Adina was speechless. She really could not understand the world of the rich. Harold walked over and casually picked up a pair of emerald earrings. The moment he picked them up, Mrs. Winters snatched them away. “Don’t touch them. You’ll break them. This pair costs $6,000,000.” Harold was at a loss for words. Why could Melody simply throw them on the floor when he could not even touch them? It was fine when his dad no longer showed him love after Melody appeared. But why did his grandma stop loving him as well?
Sob… He was so pitiful. Melody took the emerald earrings from Mrs. Winters before she held them over Adina’s ear.” Mommy, you look pretty,” she said in her tiny voice. “Okay, let’s give them to your mommy.” Mrs. Winters generously waved and pushed the brocade box that had been used to keep the earrings to Adina. “No, I can’t accept these.” The item was like a hot potato to her, so she immediately put it back on the floor. “It’s better to keep them for Melody as a toy.” Melody was the granddaughter of the Winters family, so it was nothing even if she ended up breaking the expensive jewelry. She was just an outsider. How could she accept a pair of earrings that cost $6,000,000?
If that went out, people might think that she was using her daughter to take advantage of the Winters family’s wealth.
Duke, who was standing not far away, subconsciously chuckled.
She desperately avoided the emerald earrings that his mother had given to her, but what if he gave them to her instead? He had to admit that Melody chose well. Adina would look truly stunning with the emerald earrings on, and her beauty would take anyone’s breath away. It appeared that he had to find some time to look at jewelry Duke glanced around and suddenly saw a gift box on the tea table in the living room.
He walked over and nonchalantly said, “Mr. Brown, who came to visit today?”
Mr. Brown shook his head. “There were no guests today. Mrs. Winters brought this gift box back.”
