She raised her hand and forcefully shoved Mabel away. Mabel had not expected Adina to do that.
Caught off guard, her whole body collapsed onto the carpet.
“‘I stopped considering you a mother–in–law in my heart from the moment you decided to cover for
Earl. Regardless, you are still the children‘s grandmother, so I will always respect you.” Adina stared
down her nose at Mabel.
“But, no matter what, you should not have sent Melody into Earl‘s hands. If something had really
happened to her, I probably wouldn‘t have held back from sending you to meet Earl.”
Her face was indifferent, yet her words carried a ruthless determination behind them.
“Duke, did you hear that? This is the wife you married, and she wants to kill your mother!” Mabel looked
at Duke. Her voice was hoarse.
“This witch will only throw our family into chaos. She killed your brother, and now she wants to kill me,”
?
Duke coldly said, “The Winters family has always been chaotic. It doesn‘t make a difference whether
Addy is here or not. Mother, go back to Ascrialia. If I have the time, I‘ll bring the kids over to visit you.”
Mabel became depressed, and her body wilted at this. She still could not believe it.
“Duke, your brother is dead, and I no longer have anything keeping me going. Are you still going to
send me away?”
?
“Then, what do you want to stay here for, Mrs. Winters?” The corners of Adina‘s lips stretched into a
cold smile. “The happier our family of six becomes, the more injustice you‘ll feel on Earl‘s behalf. To
you, Earl is your only son, so don‘t stay here and constantly give your other son heartache.”
Mabel clutched her chest, and her tears flowed endlessly.
Duke‘s face was still unwavering. “Mother, you should pack up for tonight‘s flight at nine o‘clock.”
When he finished talking, he took Adina‘s hand and the two of them walked side–by–side up to the
second floor.
Mabel covered her mouth and cried once more.
When they reached their bedroom, Adina let go of Duke‘s hand and looked up at him. “Are you going to
hold it against me for how I treated your mother?” Duke placed a hand on the back of Adina‘s neck.
Softly, he said, “Addy, I should have sent my mother away sooner. I was too soft–hearted, that‘s why
things gradually came to the point of no return.”
Adina snuggled into his arms. That day, at eight o’clock, Mr. Brown personally sent Mabel to the Sea
City airport. When the children received the news, Mabel had already boarded the flight to Ascrialia.
Melody tilted her head, and inexplicably asked, “Mommy, why is Grandma going by herself?”
“Grandma said that she‘d take us on vacation to Ascrialian farms.” Harold pouted.
“There are dairy cows and kangaroos there. Grandma said they‘re really cute. I want to pet one!”
Adina gave a warm smile and said, “Once we‘re through this busy period, I‘ll take you all there to see
Grandma.”
“Yes!” Harold skipped happily. “When that time comes, can the six of us all go together?” He was
jumping around Adina and accidentally stepped on her foot. Adina was wearing slippers with her toes
exposed. The little boy had used a lot of strength in his jump, and her big toe immediately
communicated the pain. She winced, and her red lips were pursed in displeasure. Even her tone
became more severe.
” Harold, you can‘t be so careless from now on. If this happens again, I‘ll make you stand for an hour.”
Harold was stunned.
‘I only stepped on Mommy‘s toe. It‘s not like this is the first time, and every time Mommy would say it‘s
alright. Why this time?‘
“Hurry up and apologize to Mommy.” Alden tugged at him.
