Chapter 426

    When he looked at himself in the mirror, Alden saw that his shirt cor was practically torn, his hair


    looked like a bird’s nest, and his mouth twitched.


    George’s mouth twitched too. He did not even know who had made the red scratch mark on his face.


    The cor of his shirt was stained ck, and he looked very disheveled. Only Harold remained


    absorbed in the fun of ying.” Alden, you lost today, haha! Hurry, call me big brother!” Alden rolled his


    eyes at him and said, “Take a look at Mel, then we’ll talk.”


    Melody stood forlornly in front of the mirror and looked helplessly in the mirror at herself. Tears were


    threatening to spill from her eyes.


    The little girl’s hair was long, but it was all over the ce and looked like a bird’s nest now. Her chiffon


    dress had been tom in some ces, and there were even a few dirty shoe prints on her pink dress.


    “Uh, I’m sorry, Mel.” Harold was very guilty. “I won’t do that again.”


    Alden came over and helped tidy up his sister’s clothes and hair before leading her out while holding


    her hand,


    The six of them sat down at the small dining table.

    The four rascals had been too rowdy just now, so they were very quiet while eating their dinner.


    After she was almost finished with her meal, Adina spoke tentatively, “Mr. Winters, it’s gettingte


    already, why don’t you let Georgie and Hal stay at my ce tonight?” Duke ced down his spoon and


    said, “I think I’ve said the same words to you yesterday.”


    Adina was bbergasted.


    The Winters family had offered her to stay the night at their mansion, but she had turned them down.


    Duke’s choice to reject her request for George and Harold to stay at her home tonight was


    understandable.


    However, she really did not want to lose the chance to spend more time with the kids.


    She pursed her lips and said, “Then, what should I do so that you’ll agree to let George and Harold stay


    the night here?”


    “They have every right to do that since you are their birth mother. I don’t have any issues with it,” Duke


    calmly said.


    Adina was stunned.


    ‘Did this man just agree?’


    “But-“In a low voice, Duke added, “I’m the children’s birth father. It’s not too much for me to


    asionally ask


    them to stay with me for a few days, right?”


    Adina went silent.


    Of course, he had been waiting for her to say that.

    She just knew that it was not easy to convince this man.


    There was no way that George and Harold could spend the night at her house if she rejected him.


    If she agreed to him, then it meant that she would have to send Al and Mel to the Winters’ house at


    some point in the future.


    The atmosphere turned heavy all of a sudden.


    Duke looked at her for a few seconds and muttered quietly, “It’s okay, I’m just bringing it up. I never said


    that the kids had to stay at my house. I won’t make them do it if they don’t want to.”


    He turned to face George and Harold and added, “You two are all grown up now, and you have the


    right to decide where you want to spend the night. I won’t get in the way of your decision.” “Wow!


    Really, Daddy?!” Harold was ecstatic when things took a turn because he believed they had missed


    their chance. “You’re the best, Daddy! You’re the best daddy in the world! I love you so much!”


    The corner of Duke’s lips curled up.


    Harold thought Duke had no idea, but he knew this little


    rascal gave him a nickname behind his back and always secretly called him the Big Devil.


    Now that he agreed to let this little guy stay here, and he became the best Daddy in the world?


    He was not sure whether to get angry or be happy at that.
