Chapter 483

Adina frowned as she looked out the window.

A black car pulled up in front of the villa. Flanked by the yellow headlights, a tall, upright figure slowly
walked toward them.

The moment Adina saw that figure , she could not help but recall everything that had happened during
the day.

Her face turned red at once.

It was a good thing that only the small colored lights were on in the living room. The light was dim.
Even Alden, who was the most sensitive one in the room, did not notice her unusual reaction.

“It’s Daddy!”

Harold was about to run out to greet him when he abruptly stopped.

He would not be able to kiss and hug Mommy anymore if Daddy came in. He felt a little reluctant to let
Daddy in. What should he do?

“What is Daddy doing here now?” George said with puzzlement. “I remember our company having a
very important meeting in the evening. It was postponed from yesterday to today, so it can’t be
postponed again. Why didn’t Daddy go to the meeting?”

The corner of Alden’s lips twitched a little.

He glanced at Harold and said indifferently, “It’s a kids’ party today. We won’t be able to have fun if
Daddy is here.



I think we shouldn’t let Daddy come inside.”

“Yes, that’s right!” Harold clenched his fists. “He will only ruin the mood if he comes in.”

Adina was speechless.

She suddenly felt a bit sorry for Duke. His sons actually disliked him to this point.

However, she did not know how to face this man either.

She needed some time to calm down, so she could look at this relationship objectively.

Ding-dong. Duke had walked to the front door of the villa. He raised his hand and pressed the doorbell.

George, Alden, and Harold did not move. They really did not want Duke to come in.

Once Daddy came in, they would not be able to express themselves to their hearts’ content. Then
tonight’s party would be no fun at all.

Although Adina felt bad for Duke, there was no way she would go over and open the door.

She could not wait to run away from him. There was no

way she would walk right into it.

However, a fluffy little doll darted to the door. She stood on tiptoe and turned the doorknob. Then, she
pulled the door open.

“Daddy!”

The little girl ran into Duke’s arms. She was picked up by the man and lifted high into the air and spun
around.



The silvery laughter of the little girl echoed throughout the house.

Adina was speechless.

George was speechless.

Harold was speechless.

Alden was speechless.

They had all these plans in their mind, yet they forgot about Melody.

All Harold’s emotions were displayed on his face. He pouted unhappily, “Daddy, what are you doing
here?”

Duke gave him a cold stare.

He had spent four years raising George and Harold for nothing

Fortunately, he still had his little girl. As long as his little girl was here, the road should not be too harsh
for him.

He said coolly, “Mr. Brown said you all headed here. I was worried that your mother would not be able
to take care of all of you, so I came here to help.” George frowned. “Daddy, we are over four years old.
How could we possibly still need Mommy to take care of us? Don’t worry. I will take good care of my
brothers and sister. There is no need for you to take the time to come over. You should go back to work
now. Daddy.”

“That’s right, Daddy. Work comes first,” Alden said. “You should work hard. Then, Mommy won’t have
to work so hard and work overtime in the future.”



That was exactly what Duke had in mind.
