At the same time, Alden replied to her.“Daddy and Mommy are just in the next city. The journey will take two hours.”Melody was speechless. She was right!There was murderous intent on the indifferent and delicate girl’s face.Good! Great! She wanted to see where her father could hide this time!When Ninian came out after putting her makeup on, it was still early. There were still two hours before the ceremony’s banquet.There was still half an hour left before her father came home. At this time, Melody secretly called Everett and Brooklyn to come over. They were fully prepared, and they just waited for Duke to return home.At the side, George, Raina, Harold, Lana, Alden, and Nerola were watching the show.After the Winters sisters worked hard, the three of their sisters-in-law were successfully bribed to support them to get married as soon as possible.Even the three of their henpecked brothers also took their sides.Now, the Winters siblings had everything ready. They we
“Uncle Duke,” Brooklyn and Everett greeted Duke at the same time.Brooklyn was older, so he moved a step forward first and said, “Uncle Duke, this is something that I prepared three years ago. All properties under my name, including shares that aren’t limited to the family business, properties, estates, stocks, etc… were transferred to Mel three years ago. Whether in the past or in the future, everything I have, including my life, will belong to her.”Melody was shocked when he said that.All his properties had been transferred to her? He never mentioned anything to her. He just silently gave her everything.“Daddy…” Melody looked at Duke, and her clear gaze was filled with helplessness which was rare.Brooklyn was the only person, other than her family, who was willing to sacrifice everything for her.Such love that was enthusiastic, reserved, hidden, yet deep and long-lasting made her heart seize.George took the documents from Brooklyn and passed them to Duke.Duke flipped t
The Winters family fell silent again.Among the three sisters-in-law, Lana was already so moved that she wept. Raina and Nerola were stronger, but their eyes turned red too.The Winters brothers, who were initially touched, instantly appeared dissatisfied as a result.They were actually moved and crying for other men? Women, you were playing with fire!Naturally, the Winters brothers did not have a chance to vent their anger because Duke had already stood up.He walked to the similarly outstanding young men, who were standing side by side, and patted their shoulders. At this moment, he seemed to age a little. He did not look like the overlord who dominated the business industry in the past.“From now on, I’ll leave my two babies to you.”When Brooklyn and Everett heard this, they were taken aback, but their eyes were soon filled with excitement.Before they could respond, Duke had already walked far away. Meanwhile, Adina got up abruptly to accompany him.She turned back and l
The screen was full of comments like, “I can’t accept this sadness.”When the host saw the audience overreacting, he smiled to smooth out the situation and said, “Have you forgotten? Ninian just said that she wanted to announce some good news!”His words reminded everyone at the venue.With that, almost everyone held their breath and listened to her.“Everett and I will be holding a wedding soon!”“What?!”“Ah! Awesome! The day has finally come!”“Sob! Ninian and Everett finally have a happy ending! I’m going to cry! They’re my youth! I’ve witnessed love that has gone the distance!”“You have my blessings! You have to be happy for the rest of your lives!”Their cheers grew louder and louder, almost overturning the whole award hall.Everett was standing backstage. When Ninian saw the scene, she turned back, looked into his eyes, and smiled.They were finally getting married.The eighth of September was a good day for their wedding.The headlines in the entertainment section
The night was as black as ink. A gut-wrenching scream came from the warehouse at the backyard of the Daugherty mansion. Adina Daugherty’s face was pale, and her cracked lips bloodless. She suffered a contraction, and blood gushed out of her private parts. She had just been pregnant for eight months, so why did she feel like she was about to give birth…Was she going into preterm labor?It was extremely dangerous to give birth when she was only pregnant for eight months…The moment that thought entered her mind, she didn’t waste a single second more and crawled to the door on all four, then slammed her fists against it. “Mr. Granger, I’m about to give birth. Please send me to the hospital. I’m begging you…”A man in his forties sat outside the door while smoking. “Miss Adina, you don’t even know who the father of your children is,” he said coldly. “Do you think the master and madam will send you to the hospital so that everyone could see how much of an embarrassment you
Adina drew a sharp breath from the pain. She looked down and lifted her blood-soaked dress. Then, she saw two babies. They were covered in blood, and they clenched their fists as they wailed. They were her children, twins. Before Adina could rejoice, they suddenly stopped crying. Their faces turned black and blue. “Don’t be scared. Mommy’s here…”Her heart clenched as she crawled over. She extended her hand toward her children to gather them up, but Dew stepped on the back of her hand. “You’re amazing, Adina. I can’t believe you gave birth to twins.”Dew stared at the children coldly. “But unfortunately, your b*stards didn’t get to live long. They only survived for a few seconds.”“Shut up! My babies aren’t dead!”Adina’s heart ached at the sight before her. She reached out once more to hug her babies, touch their faces, and pat their butts. But before she could touch their soft bodies, a maid walked over and grabbed the two children from the floor with an aloof expre
While lying on the blood-drenched floor, Adina did not even have the time to grieve for her twins since the pain of another contraction crashed into her. She was all too familiar with this pain by then. It had come right before she gave birth to the twins earlier. She touched her abdomen, but didn’t sense anything strange. Could it be… that she hadn’t yet given birth to all the children?Adina’s eyes went wide. She did not dare to delay anymore and pushed again, which made blood gush out of her body. Pain flooded her body, as if she was being torn apart, but determination kept her conscious. Otherwise, she would have fainted a long time ago. But Adina knew that she could not faint. If she did, her babies would die of asphyxiation. She bit the tip of her tongue and drew blood. That was the only way she could remain awake. “Waaaahhhh…”Faint cries rose in the air. Adina’s tears mixed with blood as they slid down her face.Her eyes lit up, and with great effort, she
Four years later…A fine-dressed man lunged at Adina and pinned her underneath him. He ripped her clothes off and touched every inch of her skin, but she did not have the strength to push him away.She tried to see his face, but it was hidden in fog and appeared blurry. She could only see a pair of eyes. The man’s gaze was as sharp as a hawk’s, and even if they were doing something only couples should do, there were no emotions in his eyes. It frightened her. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and she opened her eyes. “Mommy, did you have a nightmare?” a soft voice asked from right next to her.It was only at that moment that Adina realized that she had fallen asleep in an airplane and dreamt about the night of her coming-of-age ceremony. Five years had passed since she was set up by Dew Daugherty back then. It was something from a long time ago that she had put behind her, so why did she dream of it?When Adina met her son’s clear eyes, she felt a little embarrassed
