Chapter 337
Duke held Adina’s hand tightly, and she was unable to move away.
She gritted her teeth and said, “You said that we just needed to act like a couple in front of your mother. You’re going
against the agreement!”
Duke’s expression was indifferent. “Harold and Mel want us to be together. Do you want to disappoint them?”
Adina turned around and looked over. She saw Harold and Melody standing together and talking. The children’s eyes
were as bright as the lights in the night sky.
Her heart melted for some reason.
Her initial intention of letting Duke be her boyfriend was also for the children’s sake.
“Uncle Duke, what are you doing?”
Alden walked over, and his face was full of anger. He pushed Duke away with great strength. “Let go of my mom!”

“Mom, is he harassing you?” Alden bit his bottom lip and looked mature as well as headstrong, which
did not fit his age.
“No, Uncle Duke didn’t harass me.” Adina stroked his head.
“I saw him dragging your hand by force, Mom. You couldn’t move out of his grip after you struggled
twice.” Alden sounded gloomy. He was still too young, and he could only watch when others mistreated
his mother.
“No, that’s really not what happened.” Adina tried to explain, “I was just having fun with Uncle Duke.”
Alden widened his black eyes. He did not understand why this was considered fun when Duke was
clearly forcing his mom to do something she did not like.
Before he could ask again, Duke walked over again and put his hand on Adina’s shoulder.
Adina’s body froze.
She suddenly regretted suggesting that this man be her boyfriend.
He had promised not to cross the boundary, but he never stopped touching her ever since they stepped
out of the concert hall.
She initially wanted to move away, but she saw Alden glaring at Duke with his black eyes, and his face
was full of rage. He looked like a lion cub that was ready to attack.
“Alden, don’t misunderstand. Actually...” Adina paused for a while before she resumed, “...I’m in a
relationship with Uncle Duke, so it’s normal for us to hold hands and hug. Uncle Duke didn’t harass me,
so don’t be angry...”
Alden’s anger turned into shock. “Mom, what did you say? You’re in a relationship with him? Why?”
“It’s because...” Adina tried to explain, “...we like each other, so we’re trying to be a couple. Alden, I
hope you can understand me...”
“Wow! Aunt Adina, is that true? Are you really in a relationship with my dad?” Harold jumped really

Melody tilted her head and asked, “Can I call Uncle Duke ‘ Daddy?’”
She rarely spoke, so her voice was hoarse. But her words were clear. Her soft voice was clean, and it was filled with
suppressed excitement.
Adina wanted to nod because she was Harold’s mother...
Because Duke was Melody’s father.
But she dared not nod.
She slowly turned to the side and looked at Duke.
The man’s usually cold side profile appeared gentle, and he slowly said, “Mel, didn’t you call me Daddy in the past? If
your mommy doesn’t disagree, you can always call me that.”
Melody’s eyes lit up. She looked at Adina, and her gaze was filled with expectation.
Adina struggled before she nodded. “Yes.”
“Daddy!”
Melody happily rushed into Duke’s arms, and she was so delighted that she danced.
