Harold recognized the car at the front. Before it stopped, he ran over and opened the backseat door.
“Melody, I’ve missed you so much!”
He instantly went for a hug. His embrace tightened as the figure was soft and smelled really good.
However, he quickly heard an angry voice say, “Harold Winters, let go!”
Alden, who was embraced in Harold’s arms, was very upset.
Harold instantly let go. “Eh, Alden. Why are you here? Where’s Melody?”
At that moment, he heard cute giggles from behind him.
He turned and saw Melody coming out of the second car. George had given her a toy rabbit, and she
was overjoyed.
Harold swiftly ran over and took out the toy cat that he had been carrying. He then said, as if he was
giving her a treasure, “Melody, this cat is much cuter than the rabbit. Look, it even makes sounds…”
The toy cat meowed when he gave it a little squeeze. Melody giggled even louder.
Duke, who had just come out of the car, smiled.
He had not heard cheerful laughter like this in the Winters family’s mansion for a long time.
‘Only three kids? Where’s the other one?’
He turned and saw Alden looking at the three children. There was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
“George, you gave Melody a present, but how about Al?” Duke asked softly.
George said, “Of course, I prepared a present for him too.”
‘As the eldest brother, I must treat my younger sister and brother equally.’
He handed the toy rabbit to Melody and took out a box from his bag. He turned and approached Alden.
“This is for you.”
George opened the box and there was a Rubik’s cube in it.
“The 17 by 17 by 17 Rubik’s Cube is the hardest one on the market. I assume you have already solved
it before. This
is the 13 by 13 by 13 Rubik’s Cube. I had someone customize it for you. He gave Alden the cube and
said, “I can teach you if you don’t know how to solve it.”
Alden took the cube and fiddled with it a little. He looked at George. “Thank you, I like it.”
Adina was still trying to find a way for Al to get along with the other children. Just then, she saw George
walking
over.
She smiled gently and said, “Al, you should call him Brother.”
So far, she had not heard Al call anyone his “Brother” or ” Daddy.”
Alden pursed his lips and stayed quiet.
‘I don’t feel anything towards George and Harold. I can’t just call them my “Brothers”.! “It’s okay,
Mommy. Al can call me anything he wants,” George said plainly. He took out a stack of things from his
back. “Mommy, this is for you.” Adina was stunned.
‘For me?
‘I haven’t even prepared presents for my two children, yet he has already prepared a gift for me?’
For a moment, she was touched. Her voice came out very gently. “Georgie , why did you prepare a
present for me too?”
“It’s only fair that you get a present, Melody gets a present, and Alden gets a present too!” George said
word by word.
“Boohoo! No, it’s not!”
Harold walked over, pouting. He stared at his own brother furiously.
There were tears in his eyes. “Everyone has a present, except for me. Boohoo! Poor me!”
Duke pursed his lips dejectedly as well.
‘I didn’t get any presents either. Am I a nobody?’
