My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 484

Chapter 484

However, even if these little brats splurged the Winters family's money, they would still have enough to last them several lifetimes, so there was no need to put far more important things on hold in order to make money.

Duke got closer to the little girl's ear and whispered, "Could you help me get something from the car?"

Mel's eyes immediately lit up.

She was the youngest in their family, and her mommy and brothers never allowed her to do anything.

It was the first time someone had asked her to do something, so she jumped out of Duke's arms and bolted straight to the car that was parked in the yard. She opened the door to the passenger side and immediately exclaimed in awe, "Wow! This is so pretty!"

Everyone in the house turned their attention in her direction.

They could only see the little ball of fluff coming out of the passenger seat with a bouquet of fiery roses.

There were at least ninety-nine roses in that bouquet, and when the little girl held it in her arms, her body was completely obscured.

Adina could only see a big bouquet of flaming red flowers moving toward her.

Ba-dump!

Ba-dump!

She could hear the sound of her own heart pounding crazily in her chest.

This man must have wanted to give her the bouquet of flowers!

'Why is he gifting me flowers? What's he trying to do? Is he trying to confess?'

Adina had never felt this nervous before. Her hands curled into fists, and even her breathing became a little more shallow.

Alden took a glance at her, pursed his lips, and cutely said, "Daddy, how did you know that Mel liked red flowers? The bouquet of flowers is very beautiful, and it's exactly the kind that Mel likes..."

"Wow! I had no idea Mel liked red flowers." Harold quickly saved that information in his mind. "I'll buy a bunch of these flowers for Mel as well tomorrow."

Duke was bewildered.

How did he end up giving Mel red roses?

Why did it not sound quite right?

Just as he was about to question Alden, he saw the little girl hugging the bouquet and taking deep sniffs. She seemed really happy, and even her eyes sparkled in genuine happiness.

Alright. Who said he could not give Mel red roses?

As long as Mel liked it, he would give her anything.

"Thank you, Daddy," Mel said sweetly while hugging the roses.

Duke was speechless.

It was his fault. He should not have asked Mel to go take the roses for him.

"I'm glad you like it," Duke replied with a low voice. "The flowers are a little heavy. You can put it on the table."

Mel hugged the roses, sprinted upstairs, put them away in her room, and dashed backdown.

While Adina exhaled a sigh of relief, she also felt slightly disappointed.

She felt relieved because how was she supposed to reject him if he gave her the red roses? Since she was an adult, she could not just pretend to not know the meaning of red roses. It would be ridiculous if she acted dumb. He would feel humiliated in front of the kids if she refused to accept the flowers. In the end, the fact that the flowers were gifted to Mel by accident would count as a perfect solution to the embarrassing scene that might arise.

But she also felt disappointed because... What if she was thinking too much? What if this bunch of flowers was actually for Mel?

Perhaps she had just misunderstood.

Without even looking at Duke, Adina smiled and told the kids, "All right, the party continues!"

The disco ball's bright lights filled the room, the TV played music, and a microphone was plugged in. Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes was the opening song.

Adina picked up the microphone and asked, "Who's going to sing the first song?"

"This song is too childish. Only three-year-olds sing it," Harold said dismissively.

It was even more implausible for George and Alden to sing such childish songs.

Adina had originally prepared the song for Mel, but she glanced at Duke and said with a smile, "Why don't we let your Daddy sing the first song?"
