My Mommy’s Brave Heart

Chapter 886

Chapter 886 “Your mom has a meeting later this evening. She’s too busy to accompany you.” Duke’s voice was stern, inviting no arguments. George had grown up under Duke’s strict authority, therefore he had no intention to rebel. But Alden glanced up in determination. “I just want to eat with mommy. After dinner, George and I will go home right away.” – —

Duke frowned and was ready to protest but Adina interrupted. “Just let them stay for dinner.” She smiled and led the two kids into the house. “You two can play in the living room while I go make dinner.”

She put on an apron and walked to the kitchen. The fridge was stocked with food she had bought while Duke was sleeping. It had everything she needed. While she was busy cooking, Duke talked to the kids in the living room. “Why are only two of you here? Where are Harold and Mel?” “They don’t know that we’re here,” George replied obediently. “It’s fine to come over, but why hide in the bushes?” Duke asked calmly, his gaze fixed on Alden.

Duke knew his eldest son, George, inside and out. He had watched him grow, after all.

But he had only spent time with Alden for about a month, so he was not that familiar with him yet. However, Alden’s intelligence was on par with George’s. he was a little more sensitive. He had a high EQ. Alden had always been able to think about things that others usually ignored.

Alden met Duke’s eyes. “I just missed Mommy, but I know she’s busy, so I hid outside with George. I just wanted to see her and leave quietly.” Duke asked no further questions. “It’s almost winter break in a few days. What are you two planning to do?” “Digion Technology is launching a new project. I have to keep an eye on it,” George said. “The program Daddy asked me to solve is a little challenging,” Alden said slowly. “I might have to spend more time on it.” “If you need anything, just ask,” Duke said. “Notify me as soon as you are able to connect to the program’s database.” Alden looked at him. “Looks like you are paying a lot of attention to this, Daddy.” “Of course,” Duke replied without hesitation. “When I was on the verge of death while I was abroad, it was this subordinate who saved me. I must do

everything in my power to free him of his suffering.” The living room fell silent once again. Diecious smell of food wafted from the kitchen. Four dishes and a pot of soup was ready very quickly. The family sat down to eat in the dining

room.

“Mommy, you must be exhausted from working so hard these few days,” said Alden, placing a piece of rib on Adina’s plate. “You’ve lost some weight. You should eat more.”

Adina’s heart ached. Alden had always been very thoughtful.

She recalled the years she spent living abroad. Her life may have turned out differently if it had not been for Alden’s support.

“Have some soup, Mommy.” George poured some soup into a bowl and set it in front of Adina. “Thank you.” Adina’s heart was full of gratitude. But suddenly, her eyes turned cloudy.
