Duke was eventually discharged as he wished.
They arrived at the Winters family‘s house just in time for dinner. The kids were sitting obediently at the
table, eating their dinner.
When he saw them walk in, Harold put down his spoon and darted toward them.
“Yeah! Mommy, you are finally back!”
“Mommy, are you still going to go to the hospital tonight?” Alden asked.
“Ahem!”
Duke let out a loud cough. The kids‘ attention finally shifted to him.
George remarked with surprise, “Daddy, you got discharged so soon?”
“Oh, you should have stayed in the hospital for a few more days, Daddy.” Harold was quite bummed.
When his daddy wasn‘t around, no one was around to restrain him. He could do whatever he wanted
and had so much fun.
Duke was speechless.
He was their father. Were these boys hoping that he would not return for the rest of their lives? 1
“Come, come. Let‘s sit down and have dinner.” Mrs. Winters ordered the servants to bring up two sets
of
dinnerware. After Duke and Adina were seated, she asked Mr. Brown, “Have you put the bedding set I
bought this morning in the master bedroom?” Mr. Brown nodded with a smile. “It has already been
placed in the bedroom. All of the decorations, including the curtains and carpet, have been replaced
with new ones as you requested.”
Adina had a vague, bad feeling about that.
Although she and Duke had already registered for marriage, they had not wedded yet. So she just felt
like she and Duke had not gotten to that point yet.
From what Mrs. Winters had said, she was probably going to sleep in the same room with Duke
tonight.
She wanted to say no, but she could not come up with a reason to do so.
Never mind. It was not like they had not slept in the same room before. There was no need to be
pretentious.
Adina ate calmly and composedly.
The corners of Duke‘s lips curled up.
They got their marriage license this morning, which meant today was his and Adina‘s wedding day.
So, tonight was their wedding night.
“Mr. Brown, stop preparing the bedroom!” Harold said in an upset manner, “Mommy will sleep in my
room tonight. I want to sleep with Mommy!” Mr. Brown choked for a second before he said in a serious
tone, “Young Master Harold , you are four years old. It‘s time to learn to sleep by yourself.”
“But I‘ve never slept with Mommy since I was little.” Harold pouted and said pitifully , “Other children
sleep with their mommies for at least two or three years after they were born. Mommy must make up
for the years we missed. Then, I will agree to sleep by myself in the future.”
George said longingly, “I have never slept with Mommy, too.”
Adina‘s heart was filled with bitterness.
Before they were two years old, Alden and Melody had slept with her. George and Harold most likely
slept with their nannies or in their cribs by themselves. It made her sad to think about it.
Duke responded in a deep and cold voice before she could say anything.
His fingers tapped on the tabletop without any rhythm as he said flatly, “Babies sleep with their parents.
I don‘t mind giving you a chance to sleep with me.” Harold was speechless.
No one would want to sleep with a devil, like Daddy. He would be so frightened that he would not be
able to fall asleep.
George was speechless.
He would rather sleep alone.
“How about I sleep with all of you tonight?” Mrs. Winters smiled and said. “I have learned a few bedtime
stories. I will tell you stories tonight.”
“Yeah! Awesome!” Melody was the most supportive one as she clapped cheerfully.
Harold, who was afraid that his daddy would force him to sleep with him, clapped as well. He said, “I
can‘t wait to hear Grandma‘s stories.”
