Chapter 507
After Adina placed the soup in the microwave, she turned around and looked at the four children who were standing behind her.
When the sunlight shone in, the children smiled at her innocently. The smiles on Harold and Melody’s faces were incredibly bright.
George and Alden had matured early, and their faces gave off a sophisticated and precocious air, which did not suit their ages. But there was still some childlike wonder in George’s gaze, while Alden looked like a boy who was nearly ten years old.
Among the kids, Alden was still the most mature one.
Adina sighed. If she had not experienced such a hard time in the past, would Alden have been forced to grow up?
This was not a good thing for a kid.
Luckily, there would be one more person to protect the children with her, and Alden no longer had to work so hard to grow up.
Adina squatted down and held Alden’s hand before she softly said, “Alden, I have something to tell you.”
Alden raised his head obediently. “Go ahead, Mommy. I’m listening.”
“I…” Adina moved her lips. She slowly spoke after she hesitated for a while. “I said yes to your dad’s proposal.”

Alden was stunned. Before he could wrap his mind around what Adina meant, Harold jumped around happily.” Wow, Mommy! Are you serious ? Are you really going to marry Dad? I can live with you every day, right? Can you tell me bedtime stories every day? Wow! I’m so happy!” The boy danced with excitement . Although Melody did not understand what she meant by “said yes to your dad’s proposal,” she twirled and laughed as well. George’s eyes lit up. “Mommy, our family of six can reunite now, right?” Adina gently smiled and nodded. “Yes, our family of six is going to live happily together, and we won’t be apart anymore.” 1 They had been apart for four years, so it was time to make up for the loss of their parents’ love.
