Chapter 909

With great effort, Mabel walked through the corridor toward the children‘s room. She had just placed
her hand on the handle when the bedroom door was yanked open.

“ Mommy... Grandma? Why are you here?” Harold‘s face was filled with disappointment.

Mabel said softly, “Hal, be good. Your mommy and I have things to discuss. Something just between
girls. Melody is a girl, too. Come, Mel, come see mommy with me.

Melody was all smiles. She lifted her skirt and ran over to her.

But Alden raised his hand to stop her. “Mommy said we can only leave the room if she personally came
to get us.”

Melody immediately stopped in her tracks. She tilted her head and said, “That‘s right! Mommy has to
call for me, then I can go.”

Mabel was almost unable to keep her smile.

“Your mommy told me to bring Melody. If we don‘t go now, Mommy will be mad.” Melody lowered her
head and put the tips of her index fingers together. The last two times she saw her mommy, she
seemed very different. Her voice had no warmth, and neither did her smile.

‘Mommy seems especially quick to anger now...‘

“Then, I‘ll go.” Melody turned around and waved at her three brothers.

“This is girls‘ talk Don‘t eavesdrop, you three!” Mabel released a breath she was holding. She took
Melody by the hand and went down the corridor to the bedroom, and gently knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

A man‘s voice came from inside the room.

Melody was startled, then she immediately became excited. “Daddy‘s home, too?”

Mabel petted the little girl‘s soft hair. She suddenly did not want to let Melody go inside. This was her
most beloved granddaughter.

How could she put Melody in danger...

Before she could speak, the door opened, and a strong arm reached out and pulled Melody inside.

Bang!

The door was shut.

Melody was grabbed by the collar. She turned around with wide eyes and caught sight of Adina, but
before she could react, her body was turned around.

A face that was identical to Duke‘s stared at her. “Hi, Mel. It‘s been a while.”

She was picked up and suspended in midair, and her whole body suddenly froze.

“Bad guy! You’re a big meanie! Let me go, let me go!” Melody struggled violently. Adina stood a pace
away, and she bit her tongue. When she tasted blood, she gained her composure.

“Earl, don‘t involve the innocent children, I beg you.”



“Don‘t worry. I will treat Melody as though she were my own biological daughter.” Earl laughed.

“From now on, the three of us are a family.” He looked at the girl he was holding up.

“Be good and call me Daddy, and I will love you forever.”

“You‘re not my daddy! You‘re a bad guy! A demon!” Melody kept struggling. She took the opportunity to
grab Earl‘s arm and bit down on it. There was no mercy in her bite, and she instantly drew blood. Earl
hurled the little girl away.
