Chapter 663
As night fell, the lights in the mansion‘s courtyard lit up, one by one.
The bright lights were reflected in the children‘s eyes. In the light, there was her figure.
Adina‘s heart was filled with tenderness.
If she asked the kids to leave now, they would certainly refuse to listen to her.
However, it was too dangerous for them to stay in the Winters family‘s mansion.
She pursed her lips and decided without hesitation. She said, “ Now is not the time to get a divorce, but we can‘t stay in the Winters family‘s mansion anymore. I will go upstairs and pack our things. We will move out tonight.”
She had just walked into the mansion when she was stopped by Mabel.
Mabel had been standing on pins and needles all day. It was as if her heart had been thrown into a frying pan, and only she knew what it felt like.
She had seen the news on the internet. There were all kinds of rumors about their divorce. Before she could even digest it, the children came back.
..
It was not a good thing to have the children back at a time like this.
She was well aware of the kind of man his eldest son was. Ten years ago, he had murdered four people. Yet in the end, he let his own father bear the blame and be executed. He sent his own brother abroad and let him die tragically ten years later. There was no guarantee at this point that Earl would not harm the children in order to keep his secret.
“Addy, I have a house in the suburbs. No one knows it‘s my property. You and the kids can stay there first.”
Just as Mabel finished her words, a cold smile appeared on Adina‘s face. “Do you think that I would still trust you?”
She had colluded with Earl and fooled her. If she had not noticed something was wrong, she would have been persuaded by Mabel to have another child with Earl.
“Addy, the children are my grandchildren. They are Duke‘s offsprings. How could I possibly harm them?” Mabel lowered her voice and convinced her. “Earl has an extreme personality. He may force you to compromise by threatening you with the children‘s lives. You…”
“If you knew he had an extreme personality, why did you let him show up in my and the children‘s lives?” Adina lost her composure and said, “If you hadn’t contacted him in secret, Duke would never have been harmed by Earl! Mrs. Winters, if Duke really dies, I will never forgive you. When the children find out, they will never forgive their grandmother too!”
She shook off Mabel‘s hand and went straight upstairs to pack her things.
“Grandma, what‘s wrong? Why are you crying?” “Stop crying, Grandma. Let me wipe off the tears for you.”
