My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 652

Chapter 652 'Earl Winters killed my newlywed husband. I must get justice!'

"Addy, listen to me, don't act rashly!" Mabel grabbed her wrist again. "Duke is no more. He's gone. If the public finds out about his death, the children will be fatherless. The Winters Corporation will lose its mainstay, and the Winters family's honor will go downhill. From then on, no one will protect you and your children. Do you... want things to end this way?

"Earl has been living in the shadows for the past two decades. He truly appreciated being able to live in the spotlight. He promised me that he will take good care of you and the children. He will be a good father." Mabel pleaded, "Addy, please pretend Earl is Duke. Try to love him. It's good enough if you can stay with him and protect the children together. Adina, please..."

Adina harshly shook herself free from Mabel's grip.

She said clearly, "I will not pretend as if nothing has happened just to make life easier. If the children find out about this, they will never agree to let a man who killed their father protect them. Mrs. Winters, Earl is your son, but he has nothing to do with me. I will not let him off the hook."

"Addy, the children are still young. Are you really going to tell them about this?" Mabel wept bitterly, "They're only four years old. Are you going to let them live with hatred for the rest of their lives? Indeed, I'm not a good mother. If you were to tell them, what's the difference between you and me?"

Adina bit her lower lip.

She bit it so hard that it started to bleed, but it only made her bite down all the more.

When Mabel noticed Adina remaining quiet, she continued," Addy, at least give them a happy childhood. What do you say?"

Adina looked Mabel in the eye and stepped forward. She then walked up the stairs, step by step.

She slammed the door shut and locked it. She then leaned against it weakly as she fell to the floor.

After some time, her phone vibrated.

She took a glance at it. It was her children, video calling her. She hurriedly went to the washroom to straighten her hair and wash her face before connecting the call.

"Mommy, what took you so long to answer the call?"

"Mommy, I miss you."

"Mommy, why are your eyes red? Were you crying?"

"Mommy, why are your lips bleeding...?"

The children sounded nervous. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Adina said as she showed them an easy smile, "I accidentally bit my lip while eating. The pepper got on the wound, and I teared up. It's not a big deal. Stop panicking." Only then did the children calm down.

Harold asked happily, "Mommy, when will you come and fetch

us home?"

Melody blinked her eyes and asked, "That's right, Mommy. I miss Daddy."

Adina almost burst into tears when she heard Melody's soft voice.

She took a deep breath and said, "Your daddy is too busy with work. Once he's done, I'll ask him to give you all a call."

"Mommy, your dark circles have gotten worse. Get some rest," Alden said gently.

Adina could not hold back her tears anymore. She raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Alright, I'll end the call now, then. Be good, okay?" Alden's expression turned cold when they hung up. Previous Chapter
