    Chapter 440


    Duke pursed his lips awkwardly.


    If Harold had not identally done something that actually pleased him, he would have made the brat


    stand at least two hours in military posture.


    “Ahem! He’s my son. I won’t teach him a lesson.” Duke secretly did not mean what he said, “I have


    been very busy in the past four years, so I neglected the two of them. If I have done anything wrong,


    just point it out to


    me.”


    Adina was a little stunned.


    This man had really put himself at a very low position, which left herpletely at a loss for words.


    He was willing to let George and Harold stay in her house.


    He was willing to listen to her opinions about the kids’ education.


    He had always respected her.


    But she…


    She would feel jealous and worried when she saw Melody being too close to him.


    When he suggested letting the kids stay in the Winters family, she had turned him down without


    hesitation.


    She even thought of sneaking out of the country with the kids one day and staying, far away from Sea


    City, so that this man would be unable to steal the kids anymore.


    She was so scheming, but this man was extremely magnanimous. He just left all the options to her.


    Adina pursed her lips. “You’ve done very well. Georgie is very outstanding, and Hal is very adorable.


    The greatest fortune they’ve ever had is to have a father like you.”


    Duke’s tense nerves were instantly relieved.


    Many people said he was a qualified father, but only Adina’sments made him feel like he had not


    done well enough.


    Or he could have done better.


    He said softly, “Compared to a father’s love, young kids actually need a mother’s love more.”


    “I’ll stay here tonight then.”

    Adina suddenly agreed.


    Right after she said that, she noticed something suddenly shing in Duke’s ck eyes.


    Her heart clenched before she said again, “I drank some tea to sober up, but I still feel a little dizzy. I’m


    afraid that I won’t be able to wake up tomorrow morning.”


    “Let’s get inside first.”


    Duke suppressed the surprise in his eyes before he pushed open the main door of the mansion.


    Adina cast a nce at the empty living room, and she said, “Please call Harold over. I’ll talk to him.”


    Duke went upstairs. The three kids were reading in George’s room, while Harold hid in the study room


    next door. Duke reached out and grabbed him.


    “Dad, what are you doing? Don’t bully me. Mommy is here. She won’t allow you to bully me!”


    Harold kept struggling, but he was still unable to escape from his father. He was carried over and


    thrown to Adina.


    “Mommy! Dad wants to beat me up!” Harold rushed into Adina’s arms. “Mommy, I’ll tell you this now.


    Dad is very bad. He always abuses me! If I misbehave, he will lift me up with a rope and beat me up.


    He will also lock me in the dark room and not give me food for a few days.”


    Duke became speechless.


    He was still standing here, and this brat was talking bad about him now? “Erhem!” Mr. Brown walked


    over, dragged Harold’s sleeve, and said in a lower voice, “Young Master Harold, don’t you want Master


    and Ms. Daugherty to be together? If you talk bad about him, Ms. Daugherty will be scared.


    Would she still dare toe to the Winters family?”


    Harold instantly wrapped it around his head.


    He immediately said again, “Mommy, I purposely lied to you just now! Actually, Dad is very nice. He is


    handsome and rich. Most importantly, he likes you. He never cooks, but he even purposely cooked for


    you today. From this, you can see that he cares about you very much.”
