Adina‘s red lips pursed. She raised her hand and pulled a tissue from the cabinet on the porch. She
walked over and said flatly, “Bend over a little.”
Earl did not know what she was going to do and wondered if this woman was going to wipe his sweat
for him.
He coldly curled his lips and bent slightly.
Adina raised her hand and wiped the lipstick mark off his collar.
Her voice was indifferent and calm. “In the future, before you enter the house, it‘s better to check
yourself from head to toe to see if there is anything inappropriate.”
Earl glanced over and saw a smear of lipstick on the tissue.
There was still a residual lipstick mark on the collar of his white shirt.
His gaze suddenly turned cold.
“If you guys want to make out, go to your room. It‘s inappropriate for the children to see!“.
When Mabel came out of the bathroom with the children, she saw the man bending slightly and the
woman on her tiptoes, her arm wrapped around the man‘s neck.
From her perspective, they looked like they were cheek–kissing each other.
“This is not for children to see!” Mabel raised her hand and covered the children‘s eyes. She said with a
smile, “Come on. I will take you to the dining room.”
Alden let Mabel lead him toward the dining room.
Maybe Daddy and Mommy really just had a fight and that‘s why they were giving each other the silent
treatment for a while.
Now that Daddy and Mommy had made up, he should not show hostility toward daddy anymore, right?
The atmosphere of the dinner was rather good. There was Harold‘s chattering to liven things up,
Melody‘s soft and adorable voice, plus Mabel‘ efforts to make it a happy scene. The children were in a
pretty good mood after the meal.
“Duke, if you don‘t have to go to the office, could you come with me to the bedroom for a minute?”
Adina stood up. She curled up her lips to force a smile.
Before Earl could answer, Harold jumped up and down. He said,” Mommy, I want to go to the bedroom
with you too!”
Melody blinked her big eyes and said softly, “I want to be with Mommy and Daddy!”
“You two shouldn‘t go with them!” Mabel smiled and walked over. “Your daddy and mommy haven‘t had
some time alone since they got married. The Winters family‘s ancestral rule said that you mustn‘t be a
third wheel.”
Harold asked in puzzlement, “Grandma, what is a third wheel ?”
“It means someone who gets in the way when your daddy and mommy are bonding,” Mabel explained.
“How can lovely, handsome, pretty babies like you be third wheels? I will go play on the slide with you.”
Mabel managed to cajole the kids into playing in the courtyard.
The servants in the mansion were smart. They were either trimming the flowers and trees in the yard or
cleaning up and washing dishes in the kitchen, leaving all the space for the two of them.
Earl put one hand in his pocket. The corners of his lips curled a little. “Are you inviting me?”
Seeing that smile on his face, Adina felt very strange.
She turned around and walked upstairs. She said flatly, “Come upstairs, and you will find out.”
Earl stroked his chin and chuckled as he went after her toward the master bedroom on the second
floor.
After he entered the room, Adina locked the door behind her.
The man placed his hands against the door, confining her to a small space.
