“Sorry, Addy. It all happened so suddenly that I didn‘t have time to tell you.”
Duke‘s voice came from the other end of the line. There seemed to be shrieks of panic from a crowd
and roaring fire from a copsing beam.

Adina felt even more worried, and she spoke in a serious, as well as stern manner, “You have to be
careful. The cemetery can be rebuilt if it burns down, but if you…”
She pursed her lips. “In short, be safe. The kids and I will be waiting for you.”
“Okay, I‘ll go home as soon as I can. Don‘t worry.”
After Adina hung up, her heart remained dejected. She felt burdened as if a disaster wasing.
“Addy, are you done calling Duke? We have to go and make a toast now.” Mrs. Winters walked over
and handed her a ss of champagne.
Adina ced the phone in her pocket before she shed Mrs. Winters a smile. “Okay, let‘s go.”
There were a few hundred tables of guests at the wedding banquet. Experts from different industries
were seated at each table, and they were all famous and reputable VIPs.
After Adina gave a toast to so many tables, she was exhausted.
She only took a small sip whenever she made a toast, but by the time she went through all those
tables, she had drunk at least several sses.
“Mommy, your face is so red!”
Harold blinked and curiously asked, “Will my face turn red too after I drink this?”
Melody licked her lips. “I want to drink it too.”
“Kids can‘t drink this,” Alden said indifferently. “But we can ask Grandma to prepare some fruit wine for
you.”
Thest time the little girl had fruit wine, it was sweet and particrly tasty, so she nodded and said,
“Okay, I want some fruit wine.”
“Your mommy‘s exhausted. Let her catch her breath in the resting lounge first. I‘ll take you to get some
fruit wine.” Mrs. Winters then brought the four kids to a private room.
It was their parents‘ wedding today, so the children were very excited. Even Alden, who was the most
mature and brilliant, slowly let down his guard and epted the winters family.
The private room had been reserved for the four children. It had a table of cakes, desserts, and an
endless supply of fruit wine.
Melody took a sip of the fruit wine and excitedly asked,” Grandma, how much can I drink today?”
Previously, Mr. Brown had been afraid that the kids would get tipsy, so he only allowed each child to
drink half a ss in the Winters family‘s mansion.
Mrs. Winters smiled and said, “It‘s a big day for our family, so you can drink as much as you want!”
She put four big sses of fruit wine in front of the kids, and Melody licked her lips before she drank
half a ss in one go.
Alden frowned. “Mel, you‘ll feel tipsy if you drink that much.”
“It‘s so delicious!” Melody narrowed her eyes and smiled. “It tastes even better than ice cream. Al, I
want to drink more.”
Her face instantly turned red as if she had put on makeup.
Mrs. Winters smiled and said, “Alden, don‘t worry. You‘ll just feel sleepy after you drink the wine. It‘s not
a big deal. Later, I’ll take the four of you home with your daddy and mommy!”
“Thank you, Grandma!”
Melody lowered her head and drank the remaining half of the wine.
Adina had also drunk a lot of wine. Shey on the couch in the resting lounger next door and took a
short nap. After some time, she jolted awake.
She took a look at the time and could not believe that an hour had passed.
She rubbed her head and sat up before she fixed her makeup and left the resting lounge. She noticed
that almost all the guests in the hall had left.
Just as she was about to call Duke, a notification for a news article popped up on her phone.
(The CEO of Winters Corporation was supposed to enjoy his wedding today, but the Winters Cemetery
suddenly caught on fire. The groom, Duke Winters, personally rushed to the scene of the fire and only
managed to rescue thete Mr. Winters‘ tombstone.)
A photo was even attached to the article, which showed Duke rushing out of the cemetery with a
tombstone.
