Chapter 134


    Chapter 134 George silently sighed in relief by his side.


    After Adina picked up her kids, she drove to the Xavier family’s vi.


    There would be a family gathering in the Xavier family vi every Friday. As such, Adina purposely


    chose to go over on Thursday.


    Only Mdm. Xavier and Ethan would be there. Dinner was ready in the dining room when she got there.


    “Great Grandma, Uncle Ethan.”


    Alden held Melody’s hand and walked inside before he greeted them obediently.


    Mdm. Xavier stroked the kids’ heads and smiled at them lovingly. “Alden is looking more handsome by


    the day, and Mel is also getting prettier.”


    “Grandma, please don’tpliment them too much,” Adina said helplessly. “Alden used to be a


    reserved boy. But ever since he joined preschool, his teachers, ssmates, and other parents have


    beenplimenting his good looks. He’s be very proud now.” Alden blushed. “Mommy, I’m not


    proud.” “Yeah, you’re not proud. You just unt your handsomeness more shamelessly!” Adinaughed


    and pinched his cheek.


    Alden immediately avoided his mother’s hand.


    He had to show off a little so that the girls in ss would like him.


    If the girls liked to y with him, his sister would not have to sit alone in the corner. But Alden would


    never tell Adina about that.


    Mdm. Xavier was old, and she did not have a good appetite, so Adina purposely went to the kitchen


    and cooked some tomato soup for her.

    “Addy, it’s a shame that you don’t have a restaurant with your cooking skills.” By the time Mdm. Xavier


    finished eating, her forehead was covered in a thinyer of sweat. “If you evere around to the idea,


    I’ll invest in you.” Adina smiled faintly. “If you’d like, I coulde over and prepare dinner for you every


    day.”

    Mdm. Xavier held Adina’s hand. She touched the calluses on Adina’s palm and sighed discreetly.


    If Adina did not live a tough life, how could she force herself to train her cooking skills?


    When Ethan saw Mdm. Xavier sigh, he knew that it hit her sore spot again. So, he quickly changed the


    subject. “Addy, are you free tomorrow night?” Adina turned around. “Aside from picking the kids up


    from preschool, I don’t have anything else to do for now. Why?”


    “I’ll ask my assistant to pick the kids up for you. You can attend a business banquet with me.”


    Ethan took out two invitation cards. “This is the most elite banquet in Sea City, and people who attend


    the banquet are reputable bigwigs of Sea City. If you show up there, it’ll help your studio with future


    coborations.” Adina took the invitation card, smiled faintly, and said, “Thank you, Ethan.” She had just


    returned to Sea City, hence she needed to expand herwork so that her studio could slowly develop.


    “Mom, don’t worry about us. Just go. I’ll take care of Mel,” Alden said obediently. When they were


    overseas, Adina would often go out for work. It was Alden who would always take care of Mel on a


    daily basis.


    Adina naturally felt more at ease since Ethan’s assistant would help look after them. After Adina


    finished her work on Friday night, she put on an exquisite dress and a pair of high heels before she got


    in Ethan’s car.


    The business banquet was being held in the biggest hotel in Sea City. It could amodate up to one


    thousand people.


    Before the sky turned dark, many luxurious cars had already parked in front of the hotel. Men and


    ladies, who were dressed to the nines, walked in one after another.


    People had perfume on and gorgeous clothing. They raised wine sses and toasted each other. It


    was very lively. Adina held Ethan’s arm, and the two of them walked into the banquet hall.


    Suddenly, there was amotion up ahead.


    Adina narrowed her eyes and looked over. Then, she saw Duke standing among the crowd.


    Then, she saw the woman standing next to Duke; it was Dew.
