Winters?”
Adina froze
‘I used to call him Duke just to play along when I pretended to be his girlfriend. “But there’s no need for

her palm. She did not dare to meet Duke’s gaze as she spoke calmly, “I’m used to it. You don’t have to.”

them the love I failed to shower them with over the past few years.”

All the children chatted in the classroom.
Alden, who always seemed indifferent, cracked a smirk.
When he realized that he was smirking, he instantly pursed his lips, trying to suppress his emotions.
Some children who were at the side exclaimed, “Look! Melody is smiling! “Melody looks so pretty when

The other children stepped back obediently as they looked at Melody from a distance. A few girls even
tried to smile like her.
“Come on, children. Let’s hold hands and go to the entrance together. Your parents are here to fetch
you!” The children held hands and walked out of the classroom with Miss Jones. Almost immediately,
Adina saw Melody standing next to Ava. Her daughter usually kept a blank face, but she was smiling at

still reluctant to talk to other children, she would respond when they call her name She also took the
initiative to help them take toys and tissues!”
