My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 571

Chapter 571

"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 collapsing 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 was coming.

"Addy, are you done calling Duke? We have to go and make a toast now." Mrs. Winters walked over and handed her a glass of champagne.

Adina placed the phone in her pocket before she flashed 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 glasses.

"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."

The last time the little girl had fruit wine, it was sweet and particularly 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. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

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 accepted 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 glass 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 glasses of fruit wine in front of the kids, and Melody licked her lips before she drank half a glass 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. She lay 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 the late Mr. Winters' tombstone.)

A photo was even attached to the article, which showed Duke rushing out of the cemetery with a tombstone.
