My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 67

Chapter 67
Adina raised her wrist and looked at the time. It was already 4.00 pm, and the class in the preschool was going to be over soon. She had unknowingly been with the Winters family for so long.
She had initially wanted to go to her studio and take a look, but it was late. Hence, she just went straight to the preschool to pick up her kids.
Adina drove there, and after she waited for a while at the entrance, she saw her kids walking out while holding hands.
Her kids were even surrounded by a large bunch of children. “Alden, you were awesome today. You have to be the smartest kid in our preschool!”
“Alden, you’re so handsome. I want to be your friend too. Can you sit with me tomorrow?”
“I want to sit with my sister,” Alden said indifferently. “If you want to be friends with my sister, I’ll be friends with you too.”
“Melody’s so pretty. If I play with her, I’ll become a beautiful princess like her!”
“I want to be friends with Melody too!”
Therefore, the children surrounded Melody. However, they also knew that Melody did not like to speak, and she was also not fond of other people touching her. So, although they surrounded her and talked, they did not cross the line. As a result, Melody did not push them away. But no matter what the children said, she did not respond at all. When Adina saw the scenario, she felt very comforted. She never expected the children to willingly be friends with Melody.
She walked over in her high heels and immediately caused some major reactions.
“Wow, Alden! Is this your mommy? She’s so pretty!” “Your mommy’s like a goddess from Heaven. No wonder you and Mel look so good!” The children surrounded Adina and kept talking. Adina gently smiled and said, “Eat more fruits and drink more water. Then, your skin will become fair, and you’ll become prettier!” The girls who loved to dress up secretly remembered her advice.
After Alden bade them goodbye, he finally held Melody’s hand and got in the car.
Adina drove as she smiled and said, “It looks like the teachers and children in this preschool are quite proficient. I think Mel should be able to make some friends here.”
Alden nodded, “The kids are very enthusiastic. Mel doesn’t resist them either. Don’t worry, Mom.”
As long as he was there, nobody could bully and despise his sister.
When Adina personally witnessed that scene earlier, could rest assured. She did not say anything else and concentrated on driving.
Alden turned sideways and looked at the scenery outside the windows that kept moving backward.
Suddenly, he frowned, pursed his lips, and said, “Mom, that black car at the back’s been following us.”
Adina frowned and looked at the rear-view mirror. Sure enough, a black van was following her car from a normal distance.
She held the steering wheel and turned to the left. The black van also turned to the left.
When she turned to the right, the van also turned to the right, and it remained fifty meters away from her.
“Alden, hold Mel and sit tight. I want to shake that car off!”
Adina stepped on the accelerator and drove speedily on the road, constantly overtaking other cars.
However, the driver of the black van was clearly quite skilled. The van managed to follow Adina tightly even though she had sped up.
