NovelAppChapter 1033 When he took in the warm scene before him, Duke felt like he had suddenly returned to
the time four years ago.
At that time, every meal was a time for a family reunion, and it would be lively at the dining table. At
that time, they would never have thought that Addy would go missing for four years...
‘Thank goodness, Addy was finally back. It‘s not too late.‘
“Eat your own food. Don‘t flock around Aunt Deena,” Duke said casually.
The four children finally stopped serving Adeena the dishes.
The doubts in Adeena‘s heart grew more and more...
She thought about it from a different perspective. If her mother had been missing for four years, and
her father suddenly brought a strange woman to their door, she would definitely be disgusted.
But these four children…
It did not make sense for the children to be estranged from their mother, because it was clear that
Melody missed her mother a lot that day when she called Adeena her mother.

Adeena grew suspicious and ate slowly.
“Aunt Deena, try this soup I poured for you.”
Harold‘s eyes were shining as he brought a bowl of soup over.
Adeena smiled and said, “Thank you.”
She went to receive the bowl of soup, but she was a split second too late, and it splashed all over her
skirt.
“I‘m sorry, Mommy! I‘m sorry!”
Harold‘s eyes widened in fright. How could he be so careless? How could he spill soup on his
mommy‘s skirt again...
Adeena‘s hand stopped. “What did you call me?”
“Aunt Deena!” Harold said in a daze, “I‘m sorry, Aunt Deena! I didn‘t mean to...”
“It‘s alright.” Adeena thought she had misheard it. She smiled gently and–stroked the child‘s short black
hair.“ Clothes can be washed when they get dirty. There‘s nothing to be afraid of.”
Harold‘s eyes widened. “Y–You really don’t blame me?”
“I don‘t blame you,” Adeena said with a smile.“
However, you have to take me to the washroom to let me deal with my clothes.”
Harold‘s eyes burned with tears.
For the past four years, he had always dreamt of the month before his mommy disappeared . He had
spilled cake on his mommy‘s clothes, and she had yelled at him.
He kept recalling those events over and over, and they became his nightmares.
A moment ago, he thought that his mommy would slap him across the face.
But what he pictured did not happen.
‘Mommy is gentle again.’
Seeing that Harold was still dazed and unmoving , Duke pushed his chair away and stood up. “I‘ll take
you to the washroom.”
He took the lead and went upstairs. Adeena pulled her chair aside and followed.
Duke walked to the door of the master bedroom and pushed the door open. The light in the room was a
little dim, but Adeena could still make out the decorations.
The curtains were pale pink, and the bed had pink sheets that looked like it was a woman‘s bedroom.

Everything in this room had stayed untouched since the night Addy left.
Only when he lay on the bed arranged by Addy would he be able to fall asleep. It seemed only the
things used by her had her scent...
Adeena did not take another look at the room and quickly went into the bathroom.
It was only after she went inside did she realize that the bowl of oily chicken soup had ruined all the
clothes on the lower half of her body.
The most important part, the underwear , seemed to be soaked as well and clung to her body
uncomfortably...
Even after blow–drying, she still smelled like chicken soup.

Adeena came out, feeling helpless. “Mr. Winters, is there a shopping mall nearby?”
Duke glanced at her. “We have some women‘s clothing in the house. Can you make do with them?”
He paused for a moment, then continued, “We are halfway up the mountain. The distance from here to
the nearest mall is at least twenty minutes. I‘m afraid you‘ll feel uncomfortable being left wearing your
clothes in the meantime.”
