Chapter 436
Melody also drank half a glass of wine. Her fair face
instantly blushed like a red apple.
When Adina saw the kids drinking wine, she found it inappropriate if she did not drink any.
She raised her wine glass. When she was about to drink, Alden reached out to stop her. “Mom, I’ll drink for you.”
Duke frowned . “You’re just a kid. How could you drink wine? Let me do it.”
He grabbed the wine glass.
Mr. Brown quietly nudged Duke’s shoulder. “Master, Ms. Daugherty wants to toast to you. How can you drink on her
behalf?”
Duke seemed to have suddenly realized what was going on.
“Young Master Alden, you’d better not drink red wine. This wine is very strong, so children can’t handle it.” Mr.
Brown took the wine glass from Duke before he passed it to Adina again. “Ms. Daugherty, you can just take a sip as
a formality.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAdina toasted to Duke before she took a sip of the wine.
This wine was full of flavor. The taste lingered on the lips
and tongue. She could not help but take another sip.
Duke cast a glance at her before he drank all the red wine in his glass at once.
The meal was over just as the sky turned dark.
Adina wanted to leave.
But Mr. Brown walked over, smiled, and said, “Miss Daugherty, you drank alcohol, so you can’t drive. Why don’t you
stay here tonight?” Adina found herself speechless.
She finally understood why Mr. Brown had kept persuading her to drink wine during dinner just now. So, this was
what he was intending to do.
She massaged her forehead. “I’ll call a chauffeur.”
Mr. Brown fell speechless.
How could he forget that there was a chauffeur service?
“Chauffeur services are not safe.” Duke indifferently said, “You’re a young drunk woman with two kids. It’s hard to
ensure that they won’t have ulterior motives.”
When Adina thought of it, she also agreed, so she gave up on the idea of calling a chauffeur.
While she was about to ask the bodyguard of the Winters family to send her home, she heard Mr. Brown speaking
while standing at the entrance of the mansion, “Today is
Sunday. After you finish your work, you can go back and rest. You have half a day off tomorrow morning as well.”
When the servants heard what Mr. Brown said, all of them became stunned.
A day off?
Since when did day offs exist in the Winters family?
There were two young masters. The servants had rotating shifts, and there were bodyguards and servants in the
mansion at all times.
But Mr. Brown actually let all of them go home?
Although they were rather dumbfounded, nobody disliked having a day off. Therefore, the bodyguards and servants
left very quickly.
Adina massaged her forehead.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe servants and bodyguards had left. What was she supposed to do now? Was she to ask Mr. Brown to send her
home?
But Mr. Brown was already old. Could he drive?
She looked at Duke again. Should she let this man send them home?
But Mr. Winters was busy working. He would not have the time, right?
“I read the news yesterday,” George suddenly said. “A
drunk single woman returned home alone, and she died of asphyxiation after vomiting and being left unattended.”
Harold was so shocked that his face turned pale.” Mommy, don’t go home. Can you stay one night here, please? I’ll
take care of you!”
Melody’s wide eyes also became watery. “Mommy, don’t go back tonight.”
Perhaps Adina was really drunk. She felt her head getting a little dizzy.
“Go back after you’ve sobered up,” Duke slowly said. “Go and rest in the guest room. I’ll make you some tea to
sober up.”
Alden was slightly worried as he looked at Adina. “Mom, I’ll help you to the guest room.”
