My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 921

Chapter 921 "Daddy, we understand." Alden stood up and said, "Mommy doesn't seem to be feeling well. Daddy, please bring Mommy upstairs to rest."

Duke raised his hand and touched Alden's head. His son knew everything and could also understand it all.

It was also thanks to Alden that Addý managed to become more and more excellent over the past four years.

Duke held Adina's shoulders and went upstairs.

Right after he closed the room door, Adina leaned on Duke's shoulder and sobbed softly.

"Duke, you've known about it too, haven't you? But you've been hiding it from me." She cried as she said, "I read the interview on the biochip today. All of those victims who were implanted with bio-chips died miserably. Even if doctors intervene with the aftercare, those people still spend the rest of their lives in pain. Will I end up the same?"

"Addy, don't say such things!" Duke coaxed her. "The biggest side effect of the bio-chip is irritability and anger. Getting grumpy and angry easily is actually not a big deal. Look at me. I'm pretty bad-tempered too, right? People in Winters Corporation are afraid of me. Whenever I get angry, everyone feels as if it's the end of the world."

Adina chuckled with amusement. She wiped her tears and said, "Do you know what everybody calls you in private?" "Of course, I know. The demon,' right?" Duke tapped her nose. "Everyone will give you a nickname."

Adina looked at him."What nickname?"

"Maleficent."

"B*stard!" Adina hit his chest angrily. "How can you laugh at your own wife like that?"

Duke wrapped his arms around her and said, "I can accept you no matter what your personality is. When the kids grow up, they'll also understand why you changed. As for the outsiders, do they matter? Whatever they think has nothing to do with us as long as our family lives happily together." Adina finally felt a little relieved.

She snorted and said, "If anyone really calls me Maleficent, I won't spare you." Duke kissed her on the lips, and they quickly rolled onto the bed. It grew increasingly cold in the coming days, and the festive atmosphere became even more apparent as well.

Adina had stopped going to the company, leaving everything to Duke to handle. She was afraid that she would lose her temper in public the moment she heard about the bio chip project. Each time she got angry, she would have a mental breakdown, so she did not want to put herself in a bad situation.

Lately, the children had been extraordinarily obedient. They would either read or do their homework at home. Whenever they played, they would also go to the courtyard. They would not disturb Adina. Soon, it was New Year's Eve.

Adina had promised Dillon that she would go back to the Jones family to have dinner on New Year's Eve. Hence, in the afternoon, Adina and Duke took their four children out and headed to the Jones family's mansion. The traffic on the street was heavy, and it was lively.

Light decorations were hung from each street lamppost, and the colors expressed the festive spirit of New Year's.

The Jones family's mansion had also been renovated. There were string lights on the iron gate at the entrance, and two huge trees nearby were decorated nicely. The plants in the courtyard were also adorned with red light bulbs, and it looked incredibly festive when the lights blinked.

A red carpet was laid out on the floor too. The walls were plastered with New Year's wishes, while a row of cute string lights hung under the eaves. Colorful decorations covered every corner of the mansion.

"Addy, you're finally here." Dillon happily came to receive them. "George, Hal, Al, Mel, come here and give Grandpa a hug." George was the first to greet, "Grandpa, Great Grandpa, Aunt Zhenny, Uncle Daniel, Aunt Jasmine, happy new year!" "Grandpa, Great Grandpa, Aunt Zhenny, Uncle Daniel, Aunt Jasmine, happy new year!" The children greeted them one after another, and the house instantly became lively. Adina walked in with Duke and greeted everyone as well. Duke did the same. It was Duke's first visit to the Jones family's mansion.
