Chapter 577

When the girl started to cry, her three elder brothers panicked.

George wiped the tears off her face. "Dad will be back in half a month. After that, you can be with him every day."

Alden stroked his sister's hair. "You have Mommy and your brothers with you. It's okay if Daddy isn't here."

"Mel, have a lollipop!" Harold put a strawberry-flavored lollipop in her mouth. "How is it? Sweet?"

Melody's tears turned into laughter. "It's so sweet!"

Adina forced herself to smile.

A child's world was as simple as that. A lollipop could sweep away all the gloom.

An adult's world, on the other hand, was always complicated.

Adina sat on the couch as she contemplated whether she should send Duke a message, asking him to call Melody after he arrived at his destination.

The little girl would really get worked up if she could not see her dad for half a month.

She searched her contact list and found Duke's name. Just as she was about to send him a message, her fingers suddenly froze.

How could she forget him telling her last night that he had lost his phone in the fire and gotten a new number?

She went to the company today but forgot to ask him for his new number.

In other words, she did not even know how to contact the man she just married.

Adina put the matter aside for the time being.

If Duke really cared about the kids, he would call them. She should not worry about it.

She waited until the next morning, but there was still no call from Duke.

She saw the four children playing without a worry in the courtyard. Alden was smiling more than he ever had over the past four years.

Alden was an overthinker. If he knew that something had gone wrong between Duke and her, he would hold himself back again.

Adina pushed her emotions to the back of her mind before she went downstairs and talked to the kids. "I'll go to the company and work today. I'll come back later and have dinner with you." "Goodbye, Mommy."

"Come back early, Mommy."

"I'll miss you, Mommy!"

"Bye, Mommy!"

After Adina bid the children goodbye, she drove toward her company.

She was a wise person, so she would never bring her personal emotions into the workplace. Her normal working progress would not be affected either.

LaStar Technology Corporation was in the process of merging with Daugherty Corporation.

Daugherty Corporation had been established for more than twenty years. It was a large company with a wide range of activities and several factories. Meanwhile, LaStar Technology Corporation was just a small newly-established company. It was difficult to merge them together, so Adina had been working on it lately.

"Ms. Daugherty, Mdm. Jones is here!" Serene ran into her office and said in a low voice, "Mdm. Jones brought her daughter, Ms. Yackley along. I don't know what they're here for. If you don't want to see them, I'll just turn them away."
