At dusk, Adina and Duke arrived at the Winters family’s mansion.
Duke pushed the suitcases inside.
Adina took his arm.
As soon as they appeared in the courtyard, they saw that Pete had already arrived.
"Duke, take the bags upstairs for me and put the clothes in the wardrobe.There is something I need to
do." Adina said with a smile.
Duke nodded and walked upstairs with both suitcases in his hands.
Adina's clothes were hung in the master bedroom and the children’s clothes were sent to their
respective rooms.
Adina turned her head to look at the toy room where Mabel was stacking Legos with the four children,
who looked very happy.
She walked toward them.
"Mrs.Winters, can we talk?"
Mabel’s hand, which was holding a Lego block, stiffened for a second.
Then, she forced a smile and walked out of the toy room.
"Addy, how is your face?"
"The doctor said I will recover in a week.It's nothing serious," Adina said flatly.
"Mrs.Winters, I suppose you know about Duke’s memory loss."
Mabel felt her heart being stung by her address of "Mrs.Winters." Mabel could only try her best to
ignore the way she addressed her.She said slowly, "George has told me about it.I will find a
professional doctor to take a look at Duke."
"Duke’s memory was erased by Catherine," Adina pursed her lips and said.
"Has Catherine contacted you lately?"
Mabel was stunned for a moment.Then, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since it’s Catherine, it won’t be hard to talk to her."
She and Catherine had known each other for years.
Catherine would be willing to listen to her.
Mabel took out her phone and made a call.
"Yes.Come over to the Winters family’s mansion.I need to talk to you about something."
After Mabel made the call, she walked over and said, "She will come over at nine o'clock tonight."
Adina nodded.
"Thank you."
"Duke’s problem is my problem too.There is no need to thank me."
Mabel opened her mouth, though she only spoke with difficulty after a few moments of hesitation.
"Addy, will you please tell me what happened to Earl?"
The gratitude that had just emerged in Adina’s eyes disappeared immediately.She said indifferently,
"Mrs.Winters, do you want to know about Earl’s situation that badly? What if I tell you that Earl has got
what he deserves, and he is dead now?"
Mabel was trembling all over.
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
"No, it's impossible.Duke said he would never kill his own brother."
"Since Duke has already told you, why bother to come and ask me, Mrs.Winters?" Adina said
indifferently.
"Earl wanted to kill Duke.He has always wanted to kill his brother all the time.If Earl returns, I would like
to know the choice you would make this time, Mrs.Winters."
Her question left Mabel speechless.Her tears fell quietly.She could not utter another word for a long
time.
They were both her sons.She loved them both.She could not abandon any of them.
Adina gave Mabel a reproachful look and turned to walk upstairs.
As she stood in the doorway to calm her emotions, she saw Duke folding the clothes with difficulty.His
fingers were long and had well-defined joints, but when it came to folding clothes, he struggled.
Adina could not help but chuckle.
Duke let out a dry cough.
"These clothes are too hard to fold.I’ll just hang them back into the wardrobe."
He took a hanger and hung the clothes up.
Adina walked in and took over the folding task "You'd better go take care of the work in the
company.You’ve been away for more than a month.Everything has probably fallen to pieces there."
"I can’t remember a thing about the past."
Duke did not hold back anything from here.
"I need some time to get used to the identity as the CEO of Winters Corporation."
