Duke frowned. “Mother, when I met her, I didn‘t know that she was my sons‘ aunt
“Now that you know, you should give it up, yes?” Mabel said coldly “Daw the serond daughter of the Da
ugherty‘s family, gave you a pair of twins, but you want to marry the oldest daughter of the same family
instead? 11 this news were to spread, people will mock u!”
“I love Adina, and it has nothing to do with her being the eldest daughter of the Daugherty family.” Duke
said plainly, “I will not break up with her just because she‘s from the Daugherty family.”
Adina, who was bringing her two children downstairs, was caught off guard when she
heard what Duke said.
She was both surprised and shocked. There were mixed emotions in her gaze
‘Duke and I are dating, but we‘re not together because we‘re in love,
‘But now, he‘s saying that he loves me right in front of Mrs. Winters. He even said that
he would never want to break up with me...‘
The wall that she had built around her heart crumbled a little.
Mabel heard some noises upstairs. She did not say anything anymore.
She turned and looked at Adina. Her gaze shifted to the two children. ‘Earlier in the banquet hall, I hear
d a lot of people saying that the father of the two children of Sea City‘s most beautiful woman is Tyson
Osborne. But it turned out to be baseless rumors…‘
Mabel‘s indifferent expression softened when she saw Melody‘s cute little face.
Adina led the two children downstairs and said with a smile, “Mrs. Winters, it‘s getting late. I shall bring
my children back home now.” “Are these your children?” Mrs. Winters asked softly, “How old are they?”
After she spoke, she reached out to touch Melody‘s hair.
The little girl widened her eyes and she took a step back, looking horrified. She hid behind Adina.
“Mother, Mel is afraid of strangers.” Duke frowned. “I‘ll send them home.”
He bent over and carried Melody with one arm and pretended to rest his other hand on Adina‘s waist. T
he four of them then headed out.
Mabel leaned into the couch and frowned.
She looked up at Colin, who was cleaning up the mess next to her. “Colin, come here.” Colin put down t

a hint of sorrow in his gaze. ‘If only Lady Melody can speak, even more people would adore her.‘
Mabel pursed her lips in silence. ‘I‘ve never seen Duke ever
carrying Hal. But earlier on, he hugged a child that‘s not even his...‘
There was a mixture of emotions in her heart.
At that moment, her phone vibrated. Colin instinctively glanced at her phone and saw a
name he had not seen for a very long time flash on the screen.
[Earl]
“Madam, I‘ll go back to my other tasks now.” Colin tactfully walked away. She grabbed
her phone, got up, and staggered toward the study room.
