Chapter 143


    Chapter 143 Duke was standing outside the vi. He could see the living room from his angle. Under


    the yellowish light, three kids were sitting on the mat while ying puzzles. Adina was sitting on the


    couch while tapping away on herptop. She would raise her head and take a look at the three kids


    from time to time, and her smile was very gentle.


    The scene was so warm that Duke felt reluctant to ruin it.


    Eventually, he pursed his lips and pressed the doorbell. Ding dong! Adina raised her head, put down


    herptop, and came over to open the door.


    When she saw the man with the cold aura, she paused for a while before she said, “Mr. Winters, this is


    the second time that your son hase to me.”


    Duke did not answer.


    If he counted carefully, this should be the eighth time.


    Mr. Brown had stopped Harold a few times, and the brat hade over at other times, but there was


    no one at home.


    However, Duke would not tell the woman about that.


    He stood at the door and spoke with a straight face. “Harold Winters, get over her.” When the doorbell


    rang just now, Harold had already hidden under the table.


    He held the foot of the table, and as though he had been wronged, he stubbornly said, “I’m not going!”


    He had finally escaped and found Aunt Adina. He did not want to part with her anymore!


    Even if Dad wanted to spank him angrily, he still would not surrender!


    Harold was mentally prepared to be beaten up. Unexpectedly, Duke did not get angry. He just


    nonchntly said, “I’ll give you another twenty minutes. We’ll head back home once the time is up.”


    Twenty minutes was short, but it was better than just leaving straight away.


    The boy’s chubby face finally showed some signs of joy. He came out from the bottom of the table and


    cautiously stared at Duke who walked inside.


    “Harold, you can y with Mel and Alden for a while,” Adina said helplessly.


    After she said that, she found it a little hrious.


    Alden was a few minutes older than Melody. In that case, Melody should also be older than Harold.


    However, Melody had been born prematurely, and she was a girl. She looked like she was only three


    years old, so it was fine for her to act as a younger sister.


    Adina smiled before she went to make some coffee in the kitchen. Later, she handed the coffee to


    Duke. “Mr. Winters, please have some coffee before you leave.”


    Duke epted it and took a sip. “It’s better than the one I drank in your studio the other day.” “I’ll bring


    this coffeemaker to the studio then.”

    Adina sat down across from him and furrowed her eyebrows. She actually did not know what to say to


    this man.


    She looked at the three kids who were having fun. Just as she was about to ask which month Harold


    was born, Duke suddenly said, “Since I’m here today, let’s try.”


    Adina was stunned. “What do you want to try?”


    “Try to get Mel to speak.” Duke put down the cup of coffee before he looked to the right with his sharp


    gaze. His voice was indifferent yet gentle. “Mel,e here.” He waved at her.


    Melody, who was ying with puzzles, raised her head. Her usual gloomy eyes instantly lit up.


    Her eyes appeared dazzling under the yellowish light. Melody rarely responded to the voices of


    outsiders, but she did not just respond now. She even had an obvious emotional shift.


    Adina looked calm, but she actually felt emotional.


    She held her cup tightly while she calmly looked at the little girl’s response.


    “Mel, do you remember me? Come here, let me hug you.”


    Duke’s voice was gentler at this point. It was like the first snowke that melted on a mountain.


    Although it was cold, warmth could still be felt.


    Harold stood at the side and suddenly felt jealous.
