Chapter 599

The question froze Mabel to the spot.

It took her quite a moment to regain her composure. She said dryly, “Any man would want to take their
career to the next level after they settle down. I think your daddy wants to provide you with a better life,
which is why he has been working day and night in the office.”

Alden lowered his eyes. The corners of his lips curled in a sneer.

Winters Corporation had already been one of the largest conglomerates in Sea City long ago. He
wanted to take it to the next level? What level was he going to take it to?

That man had obviously changed.

He fooled him, Melody, and Mommy with sweet words.

The three of them were living happily, but now their happiness was like a bubble, which could be burst
by a strong wind at any time.

“Mabel, I will have the kitchen prepare a sumptuous dinner.” Mr. Brown smiled and broke the dull
atmosphere in the living room.” Young masters and ladies, what would you like to eat?”

Melody was in great spirits. She smiled sweetly and said, “I want to eat some sweet cakes.”

Harold had already pulled himself out of his mulling thoughts. He thought about it and said, “I want to
eat lemon chicken wings, and I want them to taste exactly like the ones Mommy made.”

Mr. Brown looked at George and Alden. “What about you, Young Master George and Young Master
Alden?”



George said indifferently, “I‘m fine with anything.”

Alden pursed his lips. “Anything is fine.”

When he finished, he headed upstairs.

George‘s eyes darkened for a moment as he followed him upstairs. He followed Alden into the
bedroom and closed the door behind him.

“Al, I know what you are thinking,” George stared at him and said. “I would like to tell you that Daddy
loves me, Harold, you, and Mel. Daddy‘s love for us is unquestionable.”

“A father‘s love for his children doesn‘t need to be questioned indeed.” Alden spoke coldly, “What about
his love for Mommy? Maybe I should put it this way, did he ever love Mommy? Did he really marry her
because he loves her?”

George paused for a second and said slowly, “If it wasn‘t for love, what else would it be?”

“For you and Harold, and for me and Mel.” Alden snorted. You and Harold need a mother. Duke wants
the four of us to stay in the Winters family rightfully. That‘s why she proposed to Mommy.”

He did not even want to call him daddy anymore. The iciness in his tone made George feel concerned.

“Al, you can‘t think like that.” George opened his mouth, wanting to explain it on behalf of his daddy, yet
he did not know how to explain it at all.

Mabel stood in front of the door of the bedroom, covering her lips forcefully.

She used to think that George was extraordinarily intelligent, but now she realized that Alden was
smarter and more perceptive than George.



She turned into her room and locked the door behind her. Then, she took out her phone and dialed a
number.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

“What‘s the matter?”

The nonchalant and reckless voice of the man came from the phone.

Mabel covered her chest and said bitterly, “Earl, why did you make Mel cry when the kids went to see
you today?”

“She just likes to cry. What does that have to do with me?” Earl‘s voice was full of impatience. “If you
only called to rebuke me, I have nothing to say then!”

“Also,” Mabel gritted her teeth and said, “do you know that Al has started growing suspicious of you?
He doesn‘t even want to call you daddy now. I‘m afraid your cover is about to be blown.”

“Is that so?”
