“Dew is George and Harold’s mother. We won’t be going to the Winters family’s mansion anymore,
right?”
Alden raised his gaze and asked solemnly. Adina pursed her lips. “I don’t think I can face Dew’s sons
and remain rational. It’s better if we don’t go there anymore.” “They’re Uncle Duke’s sons.” Alden
continued, “He’s special to you, isn’t he?” Adina’s heart skipped a beat. She took a deep breath and
said calmly, “He’s not someone special to me. He’s just my working partner, that’s all.” Alden’s phone
started vibrating in his pocket. He wiped his hands and took out his phone. Someone had emailed him
a document. [Paternity Test Report] He narrowed his eyes as he opened the email. His gaze fell on the
last line of text. Although he had expected this, he was still in disbelief.
He locked his phone, raised his head, and asked, “Mel has called Uncle Duke ‘daddy’. Mother, have
you thought of getting together with him? With that, Mel can call him ‘daddy’ for real, then.”
Adina could not believe what she had just heard. “Al, what makes you think that way?” ‘Perhaps, I do
have some feelings toward Duke. But it’s not to the extent of hoping that my two children would call him
“daddy”.! “Al, I’ve never thought of getting you both a stepfather.” Adina stressed, “Melody is still very
young and doesn’t know much about the world. She still has no idea what ‘daddy’ means. I will correct
her gradually.” Alden clutched his phone. “What if Mel and my biological father come and find us?”
Adina’s heart sank.
‘I’ve hidden the matter regarding Tyson very well. In just a few hours, the news was suppressed.
Realistically, Al shouldn’t have heard anything about it.
‘But with the way he’s asking me this question, he must have caught wind somewhere.’
She said resolutely, “It doesn’t matter. I don’t plan to let your biological father meet either one of you.
Unless… You and Mel want a father…”
‘If the children truly want to reunite with their father, there’s… no way for me to stop them.’
Alden pursed his lips. “What if…. Duke is our father?”
Adina let out a sigh.
‘Based on what he said, it’s clear that he doesn’t know about Tyson.’
She walked up to him, patted his head, and said softly, “There’s no way he’s your father. Even if he is,
we wouldn’t have any kind of relationship with each other.”
Alden’s gaze turned distant. ‘Should I tell Mother about the report?
‘But will anything change if I tell her?
‘It’ll only cause her more worry.’ Adina was not able to sleep well that night.
The next day, after she got off work, she fetched her children home directly and cooked dinner. They
did not go to the Winters family’s mansion.
After she was done cooking, she called a delivery service through the Internet to send her food to the
Winters family’s mansion.
‘I’ve promised Harold to cook dinner for him. I can’t go back on my word. I’m not a quitter.’ When the
rider sent the thermal lunch boxes to the Winters family’s mansion, Harold was sitting on the swing in
the courtyard, staring at the winding mountain road. The hope in his gaze gradually faded as time
passed by…
