Chapter 20
When Duke looked at Dew, his gaze was cold and mocking.
If Dew really liked children, he would not have minded marrying her for the twin’s sakes.
But he often saw her staring at Harold with a cold and ruthless gaze.
If the boy was forced to spend more time with her, he would probably end up even more stubborn and rebellious.
Duke could not understand why he would have slept with a scheming woman like her five
years ago.
She had come to him the day after the twins were born and made it clear that she wanted to become Mrs. Winters through them.
Meanwhile, he had looked for her for eight months because of that one night.
If he had known that she was like this, he would have never entered the room that night.
“Duke, I’m Harold’s mother. Everything I do is for his good. I don’t care for anything else Dew pleaded with him. “Won’t you give me a chance to live together with my child?”
“I’m going to hire a private teacher for Harold, and it won’t be convenient for you to stay here. I’ll have someone send you back,” Duke said coolly.
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the study room.
Dew was the only one left in the huge living room.

She gnashed her teeth together, and her fingernails dug into her palms.
Duke was just too cold. She brought the twins to the Winters family, but this was how he treated her?!
If it were not for the fact that she really had no other choice, she would have never begged him to let her stay with Harold…
Dew sucked in a deep breath and called George, who had gone abroad to learn how to manage the company.
But it was his secretary who picked up the phone. “Miss Dew, Young Master George is in a meeting and can’t come to the phone. Please call him in four hours.”
It would be night in four hours, so what would be the point of talking to him then?!
Dew was so angry that she hung up.
Chapter 20
Nothing was going in her favor lately. Adina had to have brought bad luck with her!
She had to be killed no matter the price!
Adina returned to the Xavier family drenched.
Alden had been waiting by the door, and he quickly stood up. “Mommy, what’s wrong? Why are you wet?”
“I accidentally fell into a pond. You don’t need to worry about it.”
Adina stroked her son’s hair, then went into the bathroom.
Alden scowled once she was gone.
He could smell the scent of a river on his mother. It was clear that she had not fallen into any pond.
But there were no rivers or lakes near Xavier Corporation. Where did his mother go, and what had happened to her?
Alden bit his bottom lip.
He was too weak and unable to protect his mother.
He had to grow up faster so that he could stand in front of his mother and sister to protect them.
When Adina finished bathing and came out, Alden brought over a hairdryer and helped her dry her hair.
Melody sat on the carpet next to them and played with puzzles while Madam Xavier basked in the sun on the balcony. The room had a quiet, happy atmosphere.
Only Madam Xavier and her eldest son’s family stayed in the mansion. Her other two children’s families had their own houses.
During the day, Richard and Ethan went to the company, while Morganna went out for gatherings and social events. There was rarely anyone at home.
However, in less than half an hour, the quiet was broken.
