Even if she said it out loud, she would not be able to believe it.
“Ms. Daugherty, you need to go home this afternoon, right? Just leave the company to me. You can go
home without worry.”
When Adina heard what Serene said, she suddenly remembered that Mdm. Xavier had called her last
night to ask what she and the kids loved to eat.
Going home on the third day after one‘s wedding was a traditional custom.
As such, Adina packed up her things before she drove back to the Winters family‘s mansion.
“Madam, these are the gifts that Mrs. Winters prepared for you to bring back.” Mr. Brown and the
servants took out dozens of big boxes, and he gave an introduction to each of them. “This is for Mdm.
Xavier. This is for your eldest uncle and his wife. This is for your second uncle and his wife. These are
for the younger ones…”
Every gift box was labeled, and it was clear which box went to which person.
Adina felt a little touched.
As someone of the younger generation, she never knew such courtesy, but Mrs. Winters had prepared
everything without a word.
She had been busy with work lately and rarely looked after the kids. Despite that, all of them were
smiling happily.
One could say that Mrs. Winters was very competent as a mother–in–law and a grandmother.
“Mommy, Great–grandma just called. She‘s asking us to hurry over.” Alden smiled and said.
Adina held her children‘s hands and got into the car.
The children were still tiny, so they could fit in one row as they sat in the back
When the car stopped at a junction with a traffic light, Adina could not help but ask, “Georgie, have you
been busy with your company recently?”
George nodded. “Some serious problems have been found in the last quarter in the European
factories. We need to recall our products and provide compensation. We also need to file a lawsuit.
The headquarters here have to handle a lot of things.”
When his dad was not around, he needed to decide on a lot of things in the company.
Adina‘s gaze became dour, and she said, “Do you discuss things with your dad before you make a
decision?”
“Of course not!” Harold acted cute and said, “George is really smart. He can handle everything alone.
He doesn‘t need to ask Dad for his opinion.”
George nodded. “I can take care of the small problems.”
Adina pursed her lips.
It looked like George had not contacted Duke either.
She stopped thinking about it and quickly drove the car to the Xavier family‘s mansion.
“Oh, my four little babies!” Mdm. Xavier hugged each of the kids and wore a loving smile on her face. “I
asked them to make some chocolate balls today. There are also fried chicken and strawberry cakes.
They‘re all your favorite foods!”
“That’s awesome! I like you so much, Great Grandma!” Harold shouted excitedly.
“It‘s great that you like them.” Mdm. Xavier then took the kids inside.
All the members of the Xavier family were around, and the children obediently greeted every one of
them.
“Come on, don‘t just stand there. Sit down and eat.” Richard gathered the dozen or so people and got
them to sit around a long table.
The atmosphere in the Xavier family‘s mansion was quite good today. Sophia, who always made a
fuss, did not cause any trouble. She just sat down quietly and finished her dinner.
“Addy, come with me.” After dinner, Mdm. Xavier dragged Adina to the balcony. “From the moment you
entered the house, I could feel that your mind was occupied. Tell me. Did you have a fight with Duke?”
