All the four kids in the room looked at each other at a loss. Harold‘s eyes became teary. He sniffed and
said, “I thought Mommy was just mildly injured. Why would this happen?”
“Mommy must be very sad…” Melody gloomily said.
She was a girl who loved to be pretty and loved to dress up, and so did Mommy.
If her face was ruined, she would be so sad that she cried every day. Mommy should have also cried. It
was just that she did not cry in front of the four of them.
“No matter what has happened to Mommy, she is still our Mommy,” Alden indifferently said, “Don‘t act
like this in front of Mommy, or she will think we despise her.”
Harold quickly wiped his tears off. “Okay, I will not cry. I want to wait for Mommy to come back happily.”
George pursed his lips before he softly said, “Mel, don‘t you have toys for makeup?”
Melody nodded. “Yes, Grandma bought it for me.”
Grandma bought all the toys that girls loved, and she had a special dollhouse.
George fell into contemplative silence before he asked, ”Do you know how to apply makeup?”
“A little.” Melody tilted her head. “What do you want to do, Georgie?”
Alden understood what George meant nearly as soon as George asked those questions. Alden
immediately searched for a photo online and showed Melody. “You put on this makeup for the four of
us.”
Harold ran upstairs and carried the makeup box down.
Melody rolled up her sleeves and excitedly started putting makeup on the three of her brothers.
When Adina and Duke arrived home, it was unusually quiet.
In the past, as soon as she pushed the car door open and got out, Harold and Melody would speedily
run over and rush into her arms, but she did not see them today. Were they still taking the afternoon
nap?
Adina took off the mask. When she was about to put it into her pocket, she thought for a while, and she
still put it on.
The wounds on her face were quite severe. Because they were in the recovery stage, there was some
discoloration. If she went in like this, she would definitely scare the kids.
Both Duke and her entered the house with a mask on their face.
It was in the afternoon. When the evening sun shone in from the French window, the golden warm light
in the house looked quiet and beautiful.
“Mr. Brown, where are the kids?” Adina softly asked.
Mr. Brown was busy with work when he answered, “They were still playing with toys in the afternoon
just now. Why did all of them go missing at once? They should have gone upstairs.”
Duke wanted to go upstairs, but Adina immediately stopped him. “Shh! I think they want to play
peekaboo. Let‘s go upstairs gently and scare them.”
Duke immediately cooperated with her, and the two of them walked upstairs gently.
Mr. Brown, who was busy in the living room, smiled in relief.
Master and Mdm. Winters were now really close. It looked like he did not need to worry that they would
divorce anymore.
Adina gently pushed open the door of the dollhouse. The curtains were tightly closed, and the light in
the room was very dark. She could tell that the kids were hiding there.
She purposely said, “Well, they are not here. When did the kids go? Will they be hiding on the tree in
the courtyard?”
She took a step backward and acted as if she would close the door.
A few restless figures behind the curtain immediately jumped out. Harold was the first to rush over.
“Mommy, we are here!”
