Adina only answered the video call after she fixed her hair. “Hey, Addy. Why is your hair so messy? You
didn’t just wake up, did you?”
Flint’s unrestrained voice came from the phone
When the bedridden Duke heard his voice, he frowied tightly.
Why did he feel like he had heard that voice somewhere?
Adina stood by the door and nonchalantly said, “I don’t dawdle in bed like you. I brought the kids to visit
a patient in the hospital today. If you need anything, just tell me quickly Otherwise, I’ll hang up now.”
“Hey, don’t hang up. Let me see Mel. It’s been a long time since I last saw my goddaughter.”
Adina pursed her lips She never agreed to let Flint be Melody’s godfather, but the guy always called
Melody his goddaughter, so she could not be bothered to correct him.
She waved and called Melody over.
The little girl smiled brightly at the video call.
“Wow! Mel, your smile’s gorgeous. I miss you so much. Wait for me, okay? I’ll go to Sea City and visit
you later on.” Melody suddenly moved her lips. “Uncle Flint, I miss you very much too.” Flint was
instantly stunned on the other end of the phone. Soon after, he screamed at the top of his lungs like a
groundhog. “What the f*ck?! Mel, you can speak now? What the heck? When did you start speaking?
You actually called me ‘Uncle Flint’! Call me again! Your voice is so lovely! Argh!”
Adina took the phone from Melody, “Can you calm down?” “How can I stay calm? I can’t calm down!
Addy, when I finish handling my work here, I’ll fly to Sea City right away and find you.”
Flint kept talking on the phone. Meanwhile, Duke’s expression was extremely dark He recalled it. Flint
was the man who had stayed overnight in Adina’s house last time. Great! That brat dared to think about
his woman. He must be fed up with his life.
Alden was standing beside the bed, and he glanced at Duke before he casually said, “When we were
abroad, Mom managed to take good care of Mel and me thanks to Uncle Flint. He’s a really funny
person. I think Hal will like him too.”
When Duke heard that, his face became even more sullen.
But he could not refute him.
If he had known that Adina was pregnant with his children, how could he have neglected her
over the past four years? When Adina finally ended the call, she raised her wrist and looked at her
watch. “It’s getting late now. I’ll send the kids to preschool first.”
The moment she said that she wanted to leave, Duke felt empty. This woman had been there for a long
time, yet he never had a chance to talk to her alone He pursed his lips and said, “George, bring your
brothers and sister out to play for a while. I want to talk to your mom alone for a minute.”
Harold held Melody’s hand and ran out of the ward, while Alden and George followed suit.
Adina stood five steps away from the bed and indifferently asked, “What do you want to talk about?”
“You don’t have to be so wary of me,” Duke said softly. “Sit down first. We can talk about it slowly.”
Adina appeared indifferent. “I have ten minutes at most.”
She wanted to send the kids to preschool, and she also had a lot of work to do in the company. She did
not have time to waste.
Nevertheless, she also realized that something had to be solved.
