Not a trace of emotion showed on Duke‘s face. His cold gaze swept toward Harold.
“You klutz, what would you do if you woke your mommy up?”
Melody blinked. “Daddy, I‘m not a klutz, can I go see Mommy?“.
Duke said indifferently, “Naturally, your mommy and I will be going back for the New Year. You don‘t
have to see her now.”
The children‘s faces were full of disappointment.
George knit his brows together.
‘Didn‘t Al say that this matter was mostly solved? So we should be able to get in touch with our
mother...!
Why was their daddy still trying to keep them from seeing their mommy? The confusion in Alden‘s eyes
grew all the more.
He had personally modified the program commands yesterday, so it would be reasonable to say that
Mommy should be fine to see them. ‘Why is it still like this?‘
?
He looked at Duke.
Duke gently shook his head at him.
?
He did not know what orders Earl had given, but he could make a vague guess when he saw how Addy
treated the children like they were the plague.
Not only did Earl have Addy hurt him, but he was even trying to get their children hurt.
At that moment, Duke felt truly remorseful. He had let Earl live because he was his twin brother.
But did Earl ever feel the same?
He wanted his wife and wanted his children hurt; was there anything Earl would not do?
This time, he would not be merciful!
Seeing the coldness on Duke‘s face, George knew that today, they would certainly not be seeing their
mommy. He sighed.
“Then we‘ll take our leave first, Daddy.”
Harold was reluctant to go. “I‘ll give you a call tonight, Daddy. You have to put Mommy on the phone!”
Melody leaned against Duke‘s body and hugged him. “We‘ll go back first, Daddy. I‘ll miss you and
Mommy.”
Alden looked up and gazed at the tightly shut second–floor bedroom door. He pursed his lips tightly.
“Goodbye, Daddy.”
“Don‘t worry, Duke, I‘ll take good care of the children,” Mabel said with a smile.
“You and Addy can work without worries. Leave the household matters to me.”
After she said this, Mabel left hand–in–hand with the children.
Before they even reached the entrance, the door to the master bedroom swung open.
Adina came out of the bedroom, dressed in white pajamas. She stared blankly at the area downstairs
with an aloof look in her eyes.
“Mommy!” Harold jumped with delight.
“Mommy, you’re awake! Sob... I really missed you!” He flew up the stairs and plunged into Adina‘s
arms.
Adina‘s eyes were a little dazed. She had not slept all night, and her eyes were bloodshot. She seemed
like an entirely different person.
Harold only realized that his mommy seemed to have changed as he got closer to her. A bit fearfully,
he asked, “Mommy, why aren‘t you happy to see me?” Adina glanced at him, then she pushed him
away and slowly made her way down the stairs.
Harold‘s eyes widened, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Before this, every time he jumped into his mommy‘s arms, she would always hug and kiss him. But
today, he was actually pushed away…
“Mommy, I haven‘t seen you for so long...”
