    Chapter 299


    It was after 9 o’clock at night.


    After tucking the children into bed, Adina returned to her room and dialed Madam Daugherty’s phone


    number.


    Madam Daugherty was in poor health. She sleptte every day. When she called, the olddy was


    watching TV.


    “Addy, why are you calling me at this hour?” Madam Daugherty’s voice was tinged with suspicion.


    Adina pursed her lips. “Grandma, I need to ask you something.”


    She paused and enunciated each word slowly. “Does Dew have two sons?”


    Madam Daugherty paused for a second before she sighed. “Yes. Five years ago, she got pregnant out


    of wedlock. She gave birth to twins. Back then, when your pregnancy caused a big fuss, her pregnancy


    was covered up by your father and stepmother. Except for the Daugherty family, no one else knows


    about that.”


    Adina clenched her fists and continued, “May I know the names of those two children?”


    “It’s the two young masters of the Winters family. One is named George, and the other Harold.” Madam


    Daugherty sounded unusually old and weary. “Dew gave birth to two children for the Winters family,


    who took the babies away on the very day they were born. The kids are more than four years old now,


    but I can count the number of times I have seen them on one hand. Those kids are no longer close to


    our family. Addy, when you have time, visit me with your son and daughter.”


    Little by little, Adina’s heart sank to the bottom. She took a deep breath and said, “Okay, Grandma. It’s


    gettingte, you should rest early.”


    After hanging up, she strolled to the balcony and drew the curtains back. Her cold eyes stared


    spiritlessly at the dark sky.


    She could ept that George was Dew’s son, but she could not ept that George was the son of


    Dew and Duke. How could this happen? Adina let out a deep sigh.


    Was it because she got too close to Duke that she started to have some kind of fantasy that she


    should not have?


    He had slept with Dew, yet she still fantasized about a rtionship with him.


    Had she gone crazy?


    Adina let out a snicker before she raised her hand to pull the curtains shut.


    She tossed and turned all night. She fell asleep a little at dawn. She sat up tiredly from the bed when


    the rm went off.


    Sensing that she was in a bad mood, Alden asked worriedly, “Mommy, did you not sleep well


    Adina put on another coat before leaving the house with her children. After dropping the children off at


    the preschool, she went straight to the office.

    Thepany’s new product had just beenunched. Everyone in the office was as busy as a bee. As


    the general manager, she had even more on her te.


    She was busy until five o’clock. While on the way to pick up her children from preschool, Adina felt


    conflicted. She made a deal with Duke. He would introduce her to Brenden, and she would go to the


    Winters’ house to cook for Harold.


    She went to the Winters’ house every day after work these days. The kids were getting along with each


    other.


    She thought this would go on for a long, long time.


    But she did not want to do this anymore.


    Harold was Dew’s son. She did not understand why she needed to cook for Dew’s son.


    She continued to dwell on this until she arrived at the preschool.


    When Alden and Melody got into the car, she noticed a drawing in the little girl’s hand. She gently


    asked, “Mel, what’s that you’re holding?” The little girl unfolded the drawing in her hand. It was a very


    simple sketch.
