My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 556

Chapter 556

He did not want Earl to destroy his happiness again.

Duke's anxiety was only growing stronger, and he could not calm himself down.

When the two of them drove back to the Winters family's mansion, his expression was still cold.

Adina beckoned to Melody.

The little girl understood her mother's gaze, so she climbed onto Duke's lap and softly said, "Daddy, are you not happy today?"

The cold expression rapidly melted away.

He lifted the girl and put her on his shoulder before he softly said, "I was just thinking about work just now. I'm not unhappy."

Melody grinned and said, "Daddy, I want you to lift me up!"

Duke lifted the girl high and threw her into the air before he caught her with both arms. Then, Melody's giggles could be heard in the living room.

"Daddy! Daddy! I also want to play!"

Harold fearlessly rushed over and grabbed Duke's pants.

Perhaps Duke had realized just how gloomy he had been, which led to him being more patient at the moment. He put Melody down, smiled faintly, and said, "Four of you, line up. We'll play one by one."

"Yeah! Awesome!" Harold happily climbed onto Duke's lap. "I like you lifting me up high. I love it!"

Duke felt slightly ashamed.

He had lived with his sons for four years, but it seemed that he never nurtured any father-son bond with them. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The situation became slightly better after he met Adina.

He needed to make up for the loss of father's love for Alden and Melody, and he also had to make it up to George and Harold.

Duke threw Harold into the air before he caught him. After a few rounds, he looked at Alden. "Come, Alden, it's your turn now."

Alden pursed his lips. "I don't like being lifted high."

"No kids would not like being lifted high."

Duke just lifted him up and threw him into the air.

Alden was so scared that he closed his eyes.

Harold covered his belly and laughed loudly. "I finally know what Alden is afraid of now. He's afraid of heights!"

"I'm not afraid of heights."

Alden opened his eyes, but he was thrown up again. He was so scared that his face turned pale.

Adina also laughed.

No wonder, when they visited the theme park, Alden refused to take the Ferris wheel. So, apparently, he was afraid of heights!

This boy hid his thoughts so well that she, as the mother, only learned of his fear of heights after so long.

It looked like she had to pay more attention to the kids.

Mrs. Winters stood on the staircase on the second floor, and she flashed a smile of relief.

As soon as she smiled, her phone vibrated. When she saw the caller ID, her hand shuddered. As if she was scared that people downstairs would hear her ringtone, she immediately canceled the call. But the person called again.

Mrs. Winters cast a glance at the warm and harmonious

situation downstairs before she bit her bottom lip, walked into the study room, and answered the call.

"Most of the people in Sea City have received the wedding i. invitation card from the Winters family. Why haven't I received it yet?" Earl's voice was dark. "Am I not qualified to attend my own brother's wedding?"

Mrs. Winters held her breath.

Duke was searching for Earl's whereabouts all over Sea City. How could Earl still have the courage to request an invitation to the wedding?

She took a deep breath and said, "Earl, leave Sea City now. The further you go, the better it is. Don't ever show up in front of your brother again. Please, I'm begging you."

"I have one last request, which is to attend my brother's wedding," Earl coldly said, "After the wedding ends, I'll immediately leave Sea City.

I'll never come back again. Can't you agree to such a tiny request?"
