Chapter 873 Melody was about to cry. “Will Mommy never like me again?” Alden hugged his sister. “Mommy is not angry. I think she has something to do. That’s why she was impatient.”
“The succession contest to Jones Corporation is important to Mommy,” George said.“ Mommy must have a strong reason to move out. Stop making trouble, Harold.”
Harold clenched his fist. He did not want to part with his mother. “I know I made a mistake. I’ll go and apologize to Mommy.” : Alden pursed his lips. “Let Mommy calm down first.”
“Your daddy and mommy are just moving to live near the project site. They aren’t leaving for another country. When you miss you miss them, I can take you there any time. It’s not a big deal.” Mrs. Winters smiled. “Hal, don’t cry. You’re making Mel cry as well. Wipe your tears.”
Harold nodded and wiped his tears. Melody also calmed down.
The door of the master bedroom opened. Adina stood at the railing. “Didn’t you all agree to help me pack? Why didn’t you come up?” Harold ran upstairs. “Mommy, you are not angry anymore?”
“When did I get angry? I was joking with you all.” Adina smiled. “Your eyes are red. Were you crying? No crying, baby. You are a big boy now.”
Harold nodded. “I get it! After Mommy and Daddy move out, I’ll protect Mel!”
“Okay. I’ll reward you when I move back here.”
Adina smiled and let the four children into the master bedroom.
Alden sniffed the air and frowned. “Why do I smell blood?”
George also frowned. “Yeah. I can also smell blood.”
Duke put on his blazer. His left arm hung by his side listlessly. It looked strange but the children did not notice it.
He said in a low voice, “The chef is cleaning the fish for dinner. Maybe the wind carried the smell up to here.”
Adina took out the luggage bag. “Georgie, help me choose some coats. I want both trench coats and down jackets. Hal, help me organize five or six pairs of high heels. Al, help me pick some dresses I might attend some celebration parties. Mel, help me sort out my make-up, please.”
Adina assigned jobs to the children. Then, she started helping Duke pack his things. “Mommy, you’re horrible,” Harold said, “We help you pack up while you help Daddy pack. Daddy only needs to sit and do nothing Mommy, you still love Daddy the most. We’re just accidents.”
Duke chuckled. “Maybe you all are indeed an accident, but you’re the most beautiful accident.”
Without them, Duke and Adina’s life would have been dull.
The sky was dark when they finished packing their luggage. Even though Harold had convinced himself to accept it, he was still sad to part with Adina.
“Mommy, can’t you move out tomorrow morning instead?”
Adina crouched down and said softly, “There are still a few people in charge over there waiting for me to go to the meeting, so I have to leave today.”
She looked at George. “You’re the eldest, so you must help Granny take care of your younger brothers and sister. If something happens, remember to call Daddy.” Alden pursed his lips. “Can’t we call you?”
“There are too many things I need to take care of at Jones Corporation, and I may be in meetings all the time. You can contact Daddy, and Daddy will tell me.”
Adina gave them their instructions and kissed them goodbye. Then, she carried the luggage and left the Winters family’s mansion with Duke.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
