“I‘m afraid it won‘t be that easy.” Alden smiled bitterly.“ Daddy is the leader of the Black Party. He can‘t
simply leave his position. He will either die in the middle of the power struggle, or he must whitewash H
estia Border and pass it down to his successor.”
The
study room fell silent. Meanwhile, Harold and Melody played in the courtyard of the mansion. They wer
e also feeling very down.
Melody held a small shovel. Her long and curly eyelashes were wet with tears.
“Melody, why are you crying?” Harold put
down his toys and looked at his sister, wondering if he could somehow cheer her up.
Melody said in a muffled voice, “Harold, I miss Daddy. I miss him so much…”
“I miss
him too…” Harold sobbed. “But Mommy said Daddy forgot about us. Even if we see him, he won‘t reme
mber us…”
Melody cried even harder. Tears streamed down her cheeks.
“I‘ll ask Mommy to bring us to
Daddy. Don‘t cry…”. Harold wiped off Melody‘s tears, then he looked for his Mommy.
Adina was in the living hall. She was working. She looked very solemn.
Harold pursed his lips and returned to the courtyard quietly “Melody, Mommy is busy. I‘ll talk to her later
when she‘s free.”
Melody looked down and wept silently. Her tears dropped onto
the ground. Harold‘s heart bled for her when he saw her weeping quietly.
He gritted his teeth. “Melody, don‘t cry. I‘ll take you to Daddy.”
Melody looked up. Her teary eyes were filled with shock.“ But Mommy said the place where Daddy is st
aying is very dangerous…”
“George and AI visited him and came back in one piece, didn‘t they?” Harold raised
his chin. “I‘m older than AI, I’ll be able to protect you. Melody, are you coming with me?”
Melody blinked but she looked interested.
Harold whispered to her, “We‘ll ask Uncle Flint‘s driver to send us over, and
we‘ll come back immediately after taking a look at Daddy. Mommy won‘t find out about this.”
Melody nodded. She suppressed her excitement. “I‘ll go upstairs and get the present for Daddy!”
She quickly ran upstairs and returned a moment later. Adina glanced at her. “Melody, don‘t run too fast.
You will fall from the stairs one of these days.”
“Mommy, I won‘t run so fast next time. Can Harold and I play outside?”
Adina nodded.
Harold had persuaded the driver from the Morton family to send them to Terry‘s mansion. The two childr
Hestia Border.
The Rebellious Party
caused an upheaval , and the Black Party‘s internal conflicts intensified. The Black Party continued to in
their surroundings.
The driver
stopped by the roadside. “Young Master Harold, Young Lady Melody, I think we should go back,” he said
He heard no response from them.
He turned his head around only to find the children in the back seat were no longer there.
