My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 440

Chapter 440

Duke pursed his lips awkwardly.

If Harold had not accidentally done something that actually pleased him, he would have made the brat stand at least two hours in military posture.

"Ahem! He's my son. I won't teach him a lesson." Duke secretly did not mean what he said, "I have been very busy in the past four years, so I neglected the two of them. If I have done anything wrong, just point it out to

me."

Adina was a little stunned.

This man had really put himself at a very low position, which left her completely at a loss for words.

He was willing to let George and Harold stay in her house.

He was willing to listen to her opinions about the kids' education.

He had always respected her.

But she...

She would feel jealous and worried when she saw Melody being too close to him.

When he suggested letting the kids stay in the Winters family, she had turned him down without hesitation.

She even thought of sneaking out of the country with the kids one day and staying, far away from Sea City, so that this man would be unable to steal the kids anymore.

She was so scheming, but this man was extremely magnanimous. He just left all the options to her.

Adina pursed her lips. "You've done very well. Georgie is very outstanding, and Hal is very adorable. The greatest fortune they've ever had is to have a father like you." Duke's tense nerves were instantly relieved.

Many people said he was a qualified father, but only Adina's comments made him feel like he had not done well enough.

Or he could have done better.

He said softly, "Compared to a father's love, young kids actually need a mother's love more."

"I'll stay here tonight then."

Adina suddenly agreed.

Right after she said that, she noticed something suddenly flashing in Duke's black eyes.

Her heart clenched before she said again, "I drank some tea to sober up, but I still feel a little dizzy. I'm afraid that I won't be able to wake up tomorrow morning." "Let's get inside first."

Duke suppressed the surprise in his eyes before he pushed open the main door of the mansion.

Adina cast a glance at the empty living room, and she said, "Please call Harold over. I'll talk to him."

Duke went upstairs. The three kids were reading in George's room, while Harold hid in the study room next door. Duke reached out and grabbed him.

"Dad, what are you doing? Don't bully me. Mommy is here. She won't allow you to bully me!"

Harold kept struggling, but he was still unable to escape from his father. He was carried over and thrown to Adina.

"Mommy! Dad wants to beat me up!" Harold rushed into Adina's arms. "Mommy, I'll tell you this now. Dad is very bad. He always abuses me! If I misbehave, he will lift me up with a rope and beat me up. He will also lock me in the dark room and not give me food for a few days."

Duke became speechless.

He was still standing here, and this brat was talking bad about him now? "Erhem!" Mr. Brown walked over, dragged Harold's sleeve, and said in a lower voice, "Young Master Harold, don't you want Master and Ms. Daugherty to be together? If you talk bad about him, Ms. Daugherty will be scared.

Would she still dare to come to the Winters family?"

Harold instantly wrapped it around his head.

He immediately said again, "Mommy, I purposely lied to you just now! Actually, Dad is very nice. He is handsome and rich. Most importantly, he likes you. He never cooks, but he even purposely cooked for you today. From this, you can see that he cares about you very much."
