Ethan had been so kind to her. She did not want to keep it from him anymore,
“Actually, I gave birth to quadruplets four years ago.”
Ethan was completely stunned by her words,
There had actually been a lot of news about his cousin online,
A lot of people said that Adina‘s twins had died four years ago. He did, however, see Alden and Melody
alive and well, so he assumed that news on the internet was just rumors.
But now, Adina said she had quadruplets? There were four babies, but only Alden and Melody were
left. What about the other two babies? What happened to them?
“I had always thought that my other two sons had died. I only found out a few days ago that they did
not die. They are still alive and well.”
Adina‘s voice trailed off.
This was the first time that she had told another person about her past.
After she told him all about the darkness and the past that had been piled up in her heart, only then did
the sunlight seem to faintly shine into her heart.
Ethan never once interrupted her. He listened to her quietly.
“Ethan, you know, it turned out that I‘ve met them long ago. They are very close to me, and I can‘t help
but want to see them. I didn‘t understand the reason before, but I‘ve finally learned that this is the
traction and bond of blood ties. No matter how the world changes, the power of blood ties would never
be reduced. My sons and I would still travel halfway across the earth and find each other.” Only Adina‘s
soft voice could be heard in the quiet office. Outside her office, the sound of leather shoes stepping on
the floor came to an abrupt halt. Duke was about to knock on the door when he heard words that
completely shocked him.
Trent had asked Adina about the two kids before, but she had denied it.
She said she had quadruplets. She said her two sons, who she thought were dead, were still alive.
Her two sons were still alive.
Somehow, George and Harold‘s figures appeared in Duke‘s mind.
Some kind of bizarre speculation occurred to him.
Before he could think any further, he heard a voice in the office once again.
“Al and Melody‘s father is Duke. The paternity test was done by Al himself.
“Ethan, I know you‘re shocked. So am I. I don‘t want to tell Duke about this just yet. Could you keep
this between us for now?”
Duke‘s fingertips, which were resting on the doorknob, immediately stiffened. His dark eyes widened
with disbelief. A storm was surging in the depths of his pitch–black pupils
He turned around and left LaStar Technology Corporation. Adina hung up and took a deep breath. She
felt a lot better now that she had told someone about those things. She looked at the time. It had been
twenty minutes. Why was Duke still not here? She sent him a message. “Are you going to get here
anytime soon?”
Five minutes later, there was still no reply from Duke.
She frowned and sent him another message. “It‘s getting late. I need to pick up the kids at the
preschool. There is no need to come.” She grabbed her bag and got out of her office.
Serene, who was busy at the front desk, was going to call Adina and tell her that Duke had stopped by
and left. However, seeing that Adina seemed to be leaving in a hurry, she assumed that they had
agreed to meet downstairs, so she did not say anything to her. Duke, at that moment, was driving
quickly towards the Daugherty family‘s house.
