Melody followed.
“Mommy, did we hide very well this time? You and Daddy could not find us!”
George and Alden also walked out from behind the curtains.
Adina subconsciously chuckled.
In the past, George and Alden disdained playing this kind of peekaboo game that children liked to play,
but they actually played with Harold and Melody today. It looked like kids were easily assimilated
among each other.
When Adina was about to speak, she suddenly became stunned.
When the light outside the window shone on their faces, there were a total of scars on the four faces.
They were clearly red lipstick marks. With the eyeshadow and foundation as finish–off, they looked like
very deep wounds.
“Mommy, Mel put this makeup on for us,” Harold proudly said, “Georgie said this makeup is called Scar
Makeup. It‘s very popular on the internet now. Does it look good?”
Adina‘s eyes suddenly became watery.
The kids must have seen the online news, so they put two scars on their faces.
How fortunate she was to have four kids who were so well–behaved and sensible.
“Mommy, don‘t cry.” Alden walked over. He reached out to help her wipe off the tears that streamed
down her cheek.
“Every time we go out, we will put on scar makeup together. All our family members will have scars on
our faces. Nobody dares to say anything again.”
Melody nodded, and her eyes brightened.
“Mommy, I think I seem to look better after I have two more scars on my face.”
George pursed his lips and said, “Mommy, no matter how you look, we will still love you.”
“Me too. I also love you.”
Duke squatted down and held the group of five in his arms.
The family of six had wounds on their faces, and the scene looked very beautiful in the golden evening
light.
Buzz!
The ringtone of her phone suddenly rang at an inappropriate time.
Adina immediately let go of the kids before she cast a glance at the caller ID. It was a call from Dillon.
The news on the internet today was getting more and more attention, so she guessed that Dillon also
felt uncomfortable after he saw it.
Adina picked up the call, and she said in a relaxing tone,“ I‘m really fine. The wounds on my face can
be recovered when I go to the plastic surgery institution after some time. Mr. Jones, please don‘t
worry.”
“Addy, I‘m calling you to tell you that the dress I customized for you will arrive tomorrow morning. Do
you have the time to come and try it out?”
Adina smiled. “Sure, what is the time?”
“Just come over when you get up. By the way, the dresses for the four kids have also been done.”
After Dillon said that, he immediately explained again, “The kids don‘t have to attend the reunion
banquet. I just want to personally give a set of clothes for each of the kids.”
When Adina heard him nervously explaining, she said casually, “Okay, I‘ll take the kids over tomorrow.”
After Adina hung up, she saw that the kids widened their eyes and looked at her. Their eyes looked
puzzled.
Harold curiously asked, “Mommy, why would Grandpa Dillon want to customize clothes for us?”
Melody tilted her head and said, “I feel that Grandpa Dillon seems to be very concerned about you,
Mommy. Why is that so?”
Adina also did not plan to hide this from the kids. She squatted down and softly said, “Actually,
Grandpa Dillon is my biological father, so he is also your biological grandfather.”
Harold looked surprised. “But isn‘t your father Aaron Daugherty?”
Mommy was Dew‘s stepsister, so was Aaron not their biological grandfather? Why did it become
Dillon?
