“Addy, listen to me, don‘t act rashly!” Mabel
grabbed her wrist again. “Duke is no more. He‘s gone. If the public finds out about his death, the childre
n will be fatherless. The Winters Corporation
will lose its mainstay, and the Winters family‘s honor will go downhill. From then on, no one will protect
you and your children. Do you… want things to end this way?
“Earl has been living in the shadows for the past two decades. He truly appreciated being able to
live in the spotlight. He promised me that he will take
good care of you and the children. He will be a good father.” Mabel pleaded, “Addy, please pretend Earl
is Duke. Try to love him. It‘s good enough if you can stay with him and protect the children

nothing has happened just to make life easier. If the children find out about this, they will never agree to

son, but he has nothing to do with me. I will not let him off the hook.”
“Addy, the children are still young. Are you really going to tell them about this?” Mabel wept
bitterly, “They’re only four years old. Are you going to let them live with hatred for the rest of
their lives? Indeed, I‘m not a good mother. If you were to tell them, what‘s the difference

before connecting the call.
“Mommy, what took you so long to answer the call?”
“Mommy, I miss you.”

Harold asked happily, “Mommy, when will you come and fetch
us home?”
Melody blinked her eyes and asked, “That‘s right, Mommy. I miss Daddy.”
Adina almost burst into tears when she heard Melody‘s soft voice.
She took a deep breath and said, “Your daddy is too busy with work. Once he‘s done, I‘ll ask him to giv

“Mommy, your dark circles have gotten worse. Get some rest,” Alden said gently.
Adina could not hold back her tears anymore. She raised the corner of her mouth
and said, “Alright, I’ll end the call
now, then. Be good, okay?” Alden‘s expression turned cold when they hung up.
