Chapter 508

Adina stroked Alden’s soft hair and answered in a gentle yet firm voice, “Alden, if it were just for my
children’s sake, I would have found a man and gotten married a few years ago. There’s no way I would
give away my happiness like that. I really like your dad, and I’m willing to give myself to him. I’m willing
to spend the rest of my life with him and watch over the four of you together with him.”

As soon as she spoke, she felt a burning gaze behind her.

When she turned around, she saw that Mrs. Winters had helped Duke to stand in the corridor. The
man’s black eyes were like blazing flames that burned the deepest part of her heart.

Her face instantly turned red. She had run away after the man confessed to her last night. She did not
speak so straightforwardly to him.

However, Duke had heard all her sincere words to Alden.

No matter how calm and composed Adina was, she was just a young woman in her early twenties.
Hence, she was still a little shy and uncomfortable when facing such situations.

Mrs. Winters supported Duke as they walked over.

He looked away from Adina and stared at Alden. “Alden, I swear on my life that I’ll love your mom for
the rest of my life. I’ll love, protect, and guard her until the day my life ends.”

Alden’s frown gradually loosened.

He raised his chin and looked at the man in front of him for a long time before he finally spoke. “Okay,
Dad. I believe you.”



Adina finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Duke also flashed him a faint smile. He held his fist out and said, “You can trust me for the rest of your
life because I’ll never fail you.”

Alden extended his small fist and bumped it against Duke’s. Then, he looked up and said, “If one day
you fail to live up to these words today, I won’t be polite.”

Duke smiled. “That day will never come.”

“Okay, stop. Why are there harsh words between a father and a son?” Mrs. Winters said with a smile.
“Since all the children are here, let’s discuss the date for the engagement. I just checked on the
Internet, and there are three auspicious days this year. They are the sixth of next month, the fifteenth of
the month after next month, and the eighteenth after that.” Harold smiled cheekily. “I think the sixth of
next month is pretty good!”

Adina was speechless.

She had just said yes to the proposal yesterday, and today, they were already discussing the
engagement date. Was it not too soon?

Besides, there were less than ten days before the sixth of next month.

Mrs. Winters felt that it would be too soon as well, so she frowned and said, “Sixth of next month is in
nine days. I’m afraid we won’t be able to arrange a grand engagement party.” “Oops, Grandma , you’re
mistaken.” Harold shook Mrs. Winters’ arm and said, “The Winters family isn’t short of money. As long
as we have money, forget nine days, even if it’s nine hours away, we can still have a luxurious and
grand engagement party. Am I right, Dad?”

Duke finally thought that raising a son was somewhat beneficial after all.



He cleared his throat and said, “Actually, we can definitely make it in nine days.”

In fact, he wanted to have the engagement party tomorrow. He did not want to wait another day.

However, Addy would certainly not want that. Besides, he was still injured. Even if he was engaged, he
would not be able to do anything for now.

Adina moved her lips, and just as she was about to say something, Melody came over.

Her eyes were bright, and she spoke softly. “Can I be the flower girl?”
