Chapter 905

Melody also pounced forward, but Adina avoided her.

Adina‘s eyes were locked on Alden.

But the noise in her mind was growing louder and louder, and it was replaying itself more and more...

“Addy...”

Duke walked over and held her in his arms.

“You haven‘t rested yet, I‘ll take you upstairs.”

Without another word, he led Adina up the stairs, but she forcefully broke free from him.

She crouched down in front of Alden and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “AI, Mommy has to make a
decision.”

?

As though he had anticipated this, Alden remained calm.

“Tell me what it is, Mommy.”

“Leave the Winters family.” Every word Adina said sent a pang into her heart, but she soldiered on to
finish the sentence.

“Don‘t live in the Winters family‘s mansion anymore, go wherever you wish.”

Even though he had anticipated this, Alden was nonetheless shocked by this and was at a loss for
words for a long time.

?


“Addy, how could you make this kind of joke to a four–year–old child?” Mabel was incredulous.

“Al is only a child, where is he supposed to go?”

Duke‘s eyes grew dark. He walked over and said, “Al, did you hear Mommy‘s words clearly?”

“I–I heard them.” Alden had difficulty getting his mouth to open.

“I‘ll move out today.”

“Al, how can you take a joke so seriously?!” Mabel said angrily. “As long as I‘m around, no one is
kicking you out of the house!”

“I’m not joking,” Adina said quietly, “Mrs. Winters, I would also like for you to leave the Winters family‘s
mansion.”

“What did you say?!” Mabel was stunned. “Addy, speak plainly.”

“Mrs. Winters, why don‘t you bring the children to Ascrialia?” Adina clenched her fists and spoke in a
steady voice.

“When Duke and I are done working through this busy period, we’ll go to Ascrialia to bring you all
home.”

“Preposterous!” Mabel reprimanded. “New Year is just around the corner, who would be traveling
abroad at this time?”

“Mommy, is it because we were naughty? Is that why you‘re sending us away?” Harold was choking up.

“I‘ll be good from now on, I‘ll listen to Mommy, so don‘t send us away, okay?” Melody clutched at the
hem of Adina‘s clothes. She could not say a word through all her tears.



George stood quietly without saying a word. Adina closed her eyes.

Earl, that demented snake, would not only try to hurt Alden, but also harm the other three children.

Adina could not risk it. She would never risk it.

“Then, don‘t go to Ascrialia,” Duke said at the right moment, “Mother, take the children back first. I‘ll
contact you later.”

Mabel had vaguely realized what was happening and did not say anymore. She took the four
despondent children and left the mansion. Once they were gone, the living room instantly felt desolate.

Feeling decrepit, Adina sat down on the sofa. Her tone was dejected. “Duke, the children can‘t stay in
Sea City. Earl hates us too much, he would never spare the children...”

“Ascrialia is where my mother is from, Earl knows it well. Having my mother and the children stay there
alone would truly be detrimental to them.” Duke held her face and said solemnly,” The order this time
was to send Al away, right?”

Adina gave a pained nod.

The disbelief in Alden‘s eyes was like a stake that pierced her heart, and the pain in her heart far
surpassed the pain in the back of her head.

“I‘ll send Alden to the Xavier family, that should count as fulfilling the command,” Duke said gently.

“My men are already on Earl‘s trail. They should have him in custody within three days. Don‘t be afraid,
Addy, I will always be here.”

Adina lowered her eyes. She did not know if she could wait another three days... However, before the
day could turn to night, Earl‘s voice emerged in her mind again.
