Chapter 460

She walked over, took a deep breath, and said, "Mrs. Winters, if you do this..." Mrs. Winters raised her head. "Call me Aunt Mabel." "Aunt Mabel." Adina immediately changed her address. "If you do this, you'll spoil Mel. These are too expensive."

"Kids don't know that these things are expensive. To them, these are just toys." Mrs. Winters stroked Melody's hair. "Girls like shiny jewelry. Next time, I'll bring Mel to a jewelry mall and buy her more jewelry so that she can bring them back and play with them." Adina was speechless. She really could not understand the world of the rich. Harold walked over and casually picked up a pair of emerald earrings. The moment he picked them up, Mrs. Winters snatched them away. "Don't touch them. You'll break them. This pair costs $6,000,000." Harold was at a loss for words. Why could Melody simply throw them on the floor when he could not even touch them? It was fine when his dad no longer showed him love after Melody appeared. But why did his grandma stop loving him as well?

Sob... He was so pitiful. Melody took the emerald earrings from Mrs. Winters before she held them over Adina's ear." Mommy, you look pretty," she said in her tiny voice. "Okay, let's give them to your mommy." Mrs. Winters generously waved and pushed the brocade box that had been used to keep the earrings to Adina. "No, I can't accept these." The item was like a hot potato to her, so she immediately put it back on the floor. "It's better to keep them for Melody as a toy." Melody was the granddaughter of the Winters family, so it was nothing even if she ended up breaking the expensive jewelry. She was just an outsider. How could she accept a pair of earrings that cost $6,000,000?

If that went out, people might think that she was using her daughter to take advantage of the Winters family's wealth.

Duke, who was standing not far away, subconsciously chuckled.

She desperately avoided the emerald earrings that his mother had given to her, but what if he gave them to her instead? He had to admit that Melody chose well. Adina would look truly stunning with the emerald earrings on, and her beauty would take anyone's breath away. It appeared that he had to replace some time to look at jewelry Duke glanced around and suddenly saw a gift box on the tea table in the living room.

He walked over and nonchalantly said, "Mr. Brown, who came to visit today?"

Mr. Brown shook his head. "There were no guests today. Mrs. Winters brought this gift box back."

Darkness suddenly filled Duke's gaze.

"It's getting late now. Addy, you should take the kids back and rest," he said softly. "No, Mel is sleeping with me tonight," Mrs. Winters said in an overbearing manner. "Mel even promised me earlier."

Adina felt her head ache.

If it were Duke, she could still refuse. But this was Mrs. Winters. She was an elder, and she had really pampered Melody. For a moment, Adina did not know how to proceed.

"Mel isn't used to strangers. It's not suitable for her to be separated from her mother and stay in the Winters family villa for the time being." Duke fiddled with his fingers and replied with a straight face. Mrs. Winters had initially wanted to ask Adina to stay for the night as well. After all, Adina had also done the same last night. When she raised her head, she noticed Duke's agitated gaze. He was her son. Although they had parted for a few years, she still understood him very well. Duke's gaze meant something serious had happened. Mrs. Winters lowered her head and spoke affectionately. "Mel, I'll go and pick you up tomorrow. Go back with mommy tonight. Sleep tight. Don't kick your blanket off the bed, okay?" Melody gave her a hard nod. When she left, she reluctantly glanced at the pearl jewelry that was scattered around the floor.

Then, Mrs. Winters ordered Mr. Brown to pack everything and stuff them into the trunk of Adina's car.

Adina was unable to reject them. She could only bring the children with her and leave the Winters family villa.

Right after they left, Duke sternly said, "George, Harold, go upstairs. I have something to discuss with your grandma."
