    Chapter 448


    Adinaposed herself, appearing calm and aloof as she went downstairs.


    Nobody was in the living room, but someughter came from the dining room not far away. She slowly


    walked over. When she stood at the dining room entrance, she saw an extremely warm and


    harmonious scene.


    Melody was in Duke’s arms, eating something with a pout. Harold and George were standing on either


    side of her and feeding her food continuously , while Duke was struggling to braid her hair.


    He was an adult man, and his actions were clumsy. The braid he made was not the best.


    Before Adina couldment on it, Alden could no longer bear the sight. He frowned and said, “Mel


    looks ugly with that hairstyle.”


    As soon as he said that, the corners of the little girl’s lips instantly curved down. She pouted unhappily.


    Duke cleared his throat and said, “Alden, I’m still learning. It’s normal for me to not braid nicely. Can


    you stand over on this side and teach me?”


    Alden carefully said, “Comb the hair out before you divide


    the hair into three equal parts. Then, you slowly braid them.”


    Alden taught Duke in detail, and Duke learned in a serious manner.


    Adina’s face was filled with tenderness.


    Alden used to say that he did not need a father, but he must be very fond of Duke.


    She had never seen that expression on Alden’s face before.

    She walked into the dining room with a faint smile and said, “Let meb Mel’s hair.”

    Duke looked at her.


    He had purposely chosen her outfit for her. It was a goose yellow top with a beige wrap skirt, which


    entuated her figure.


    He suddenly remembered what she had wornst night. Adina was the most attractive when she was


    wearing his shirt.


    “Mommy, you’re awake!” Harold rushed over happily and climbed onto Adina’s body using his little


    limbs.


    He unintentionally put his hands on Adina’s chest, and his head rubbed against her chest too.


    As a result, Duke got angry all of a sudden.


    He walked over, grabbed Harold by the cor, and threw him on the floor. “How old are you? Why do


    you always need to be hugged?” he said coldly.


    Harold felt hurt. “Isn’t Mel four years old too? Why can she be hugged?”


    “Mel’s a girl, and you’re a boy. Are you two the same?” George nced at him indifferently.


    Adina was speechless.


    She had found Duke to be quite gentle toward Harold yesterday , but he had revealed his true self


    again today.


    She walked over, carried Harold, and put him on herp. She smiled and said, “Hal, have you had your


    breakfast?”


    “I’ve eaten!” Harold held Adina’s neck and happily said,” Mommy, there’s all kinds of breakfast food in


    the kitchen. What would you like to eat? I’ll go and get it for


    you.”


    Right after he spoke, Alden returned from the kitchen. He ced a te on the table and indifferently


    said,” Mommy, it’s your favorite toast.”


    Harold stuck his tongue out. Alden had made his move so quickly that it made Harold look like he was


    just all talk and no action.


    Even so, Adina was ted.


    Her life had never been soplete. All her four children


    were alive, and they were by her side. Could anything else bring her more joy?


    She looked at Duke. He had just finishedbing Melody’s hair. He quietly stared at her with his


    intense ck eyes, and her figure was reflected in his pupils.


    Her heart suddenly pounded fast.


    She looked away awkwardly. Casting a nce at the time, she said, “I have to attend a celebration


    party tonight. Mr. Winters, can you help look after the kids?”


    Duke nodded indifferently. “You don’t have to worry about leaving the kids with the Winters family. After


    lunch, I’ll send you to get your styling and fitting done. You should be able to make it.” Adina thanked


    him softly.
