My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)

Chapter 305

Trent drank a gulp of the wine.

He smirked and said, "You brought it upon yourself. Why would you bring up the two little

guys' real mother? I don't think any woman would feel fine with hearing their partner talking about their exes, especially since you have had two children together. It's easy for her mind to conjure up some age- inappropriate images," Duke spoke in a deep voice, "Why would women not want to hear their partner talking about their exes?"

"Why else do you think? They would get jealous, of course!" Trent snorted. "The more a woman cares about you, the more she cares about the existence of your ex. The moment you bring up your ex in front of her, she would start assuming that you still care about the other woman, and that makes her jealous. When she's jealous, she's mad. When she's mad, she doesn't want to talk to you anymore." Duke looked up. "Are you saying that she cares about me?"

"Well, what do you think? Why else would she be mad at you?" Trent rolled his eyes. "I say, Duke, with your standing, you are too good even for a princess of the royal family. Why do you seem so unsure of yourself in front of Adina?"

Eilam could not help but interject, "Ms. Daugherty is the most beautiful woman in Sea City, after all.

Trent retorted, "What kind of beautiful woman flips someone over her shoulder whenever she feels like it? She scares me. If she really gets together with Duke, I won't even dare to set foot in Winters family's house."

Eilam and Trent started chatting with each other!

With the wineglass in his hand, Duke's furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

Adina took the two children home and prepared some dishes and soup for dinner. Melody was digging into the food, while Alden could not help but keep staring at Adina. After the meal, Melody went to practice piano. Alden followed Adina into the kitchen." Mommy, let me help you with the dishes." Adina gave up her place by the sink and turned around to clean the stove. Alden rolled up his sleeves. While he was washing the dishes, he said, "Mommy, may I know the reason you suddenly wanted to leave the Winters family's house tonight?" Adina's hands paused. She continued to wipe the stove top and answered in a flat voice, "The Winters family is the most prestigious family in Sea City. People will think we are trying to suck up to them if we go there too often."

"You are not being honest." Alden directly exposed her lie. "Mommy, you lost control of your emotions tonight. Uncle Duke obviously upset you. What exactly did he do to you?"

Adina frowned in silence,

Her Alden was too smart. There was nothing she could keep from him.

However, there were some things that simply could not be explained to a child who was just over four years old.

"Mommy, you've been in a weird mood since last night." Alden's voice mingled with the sound of running water and reached Adina's ears. "You've been feeling down since you found out last night that George is Harold's brother. Mommy, this really bothers you a lot, doesn't it?" Adina's hands stiffened. She let out a sigh and said, "Oh, Al, I wish you could be less clever." Alden laid the washed bowl on the draining rack. Then, he turned around and said in a serious manner, "Mommy, there are some things that you don't have to go through alone."

Adina knew that if she did not talk to him about this today, Alden would not be able to sleep at

ease.

She said in a low voice, "Do you know who Harold and George's mother is?" Alden finally understood.

He had long figured out that Mommy would not go to the Winters family's villa anymore once she found out that Dew was Harold's mother.

He just did not expect that Mommy would leave right away without any hesitation. "I see you already know about it." Adina glanced at him. "That explains why you wouldn't allow Mel to hang out with Harold two days ago." She sneered a little.

Al was a child, yet he realized it sooner than her. It was like she had learned nothing in all the years she lived.
