Madam Winters’s Fight For Her Children novel Chapter 249

Chapter 249 Harold looked out, and his face instantly turned pale from shock. He immediately rushed into Adina’s arms and nervously said, “Aunt Adina, Dad‘s here! He‘s here to catch me!” 

Adina raised her wrist and looked at the time. There were ten more minutes before 8.30 pm. Why was this man here so soon to take Harold?

While she thought about it, the villa‘s doorbell rang.

Adina got up and went to open the door.

The temperature at night in late autumn was very cold, and Duke emanated the aura of such a cold night. He walked in only after he stood at the entrance hall for a while. Harold was nervous, but he pretended to look calm as he said, “Dad, I was about to go home, but you came.” “If I didn‘t come over, you would have stayed here for another two hours,” Duke said indifferently.

Harold flicked his tongue.

His dad understood him well. He actually wanted to stay at Aunt Adina‘s house for the night.

“Mr. Winters, I‘m the one who convinced Harold to stay and play a little longer,” Adina spoke to smooth things over. “It‘s getting late, so you can take him home.”

Duke nodded.

He glanced around before he saw the little girl who was sitting on the climbing mat.

The little girl opened her eyes wide and stared at him. When she noticed that he was looking at her, her dark eyes instantly lit up.

She picked up a toy bunny from the side before she ran over and stuffed the bunny into Duke‘s hand.

“Mel, wait for me. Why are you running away?” Harold quickly followed her. Alden calmly blocked his way and nonchalantly said, “Mel‘s going to the restroom. You‘re a boy. Why are you following her?” Harold stroked his chin. “Why do I sense that Mel‘s suddenly feeling unhappy?” Alden rolled his eyes at Harold. It took Harold more than an hour to finally realize that Melody was unhappy. At least he was not helplessly stupid.

The two children stood at the staircase and chatted.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere among the adults was weird. Adina awkwardly said, “I‘m sorry, Mr. Winters. Melody must have heard Harold calling you that, so she learned from him. I‘ll correct her and make sure this doesn‘t happen again.”

“A kid at the age like Mel desires a father‘s love the most. Ms. Daugherty, have you thought about getting her a father?” Duke asked indifferently. The question was related to Adina‘s private matters. However, her daughter had called Duke “Daddy,” hence it was not very ridiculous for him to ask about it.
