My Mommy’s Brave Heart

Chapter 953

Chapter 953 The second day of New Year was celebrated with a variety of scrumptious food.

By right, after lunch, they would pay a visit to the Xavier family. However, the Winters family‘s mansion was on the cusp of the storm. Many reporters were guarding the winding mountain road. They were waiting for Adina to go out and rush towards her.

Mdm. Annabelle Xavier personally called the winters family to postpone the visit to the next few days.

Thus, another dull afternoon for the children.

“Hal, you‘ll go to the company to handle business affairs in a few days.” Al asked calmly, “Are you confident about it?”

Harold diffidently rubbed his nose. “Kind of…” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“Just say yes or no. What do you mean by “kind of“?” George said, “I‘ll simulate some emergencies later this afternoon. Handle it.”

“Well…” Harold said unwillingly. “It‘s New Year. Aren‘t we supposed to have fun?”

“Hal, you can play alone. I‘m going to practice my piano.” Melody blinked and said, “Daddy said he‘ll arrange a concert for me after the New Year. I need to practice more.”

Harold instantly looked sad.

‘George isn‘t fun and Al is too boring. Mel is the only one left that‘ll play with me.

But now, even she‘s going to practice her piano. And here I am, still wanting to play. I don‘t look like the second–eldest brother at all.‘

“Fine!” Harold made a huge decision. “George, Al, test me! I will skip my meal if I fail your test.”

Duke chuckled sarcastically, “Don‘t run to Mommy like a spoiled child later.” “No, I won‘t!” Harold snorted. “I‘m already a five–year–old man. “Being a ‘spoiled child‘ is not in my vocabulary!” Adina laughed helplessly. “Alright, then. It‘s a deal.” George stood up. “Let‘s go upstairs. I‘ll test you.” Alden pushed the chair out and stood up. “I‘ve found some classic questions from the Internet.”

Harold started to regret his decision when he saw how serious his two brothers were.

He heard Melody playing the piano in the living room. He had no choice but to go along and went upstairs.

“Let’s take a walk” Duke said softly as he put his arms around Adina.

She shook her head. “I‘m tired. I want to take a nap in the bedroom.”

Accidents happened as soon as I went out last night. Reporters were guarding outside. I think I should just avoid going out and cause trouble.’

She yawned. Before she could get up, Duke carried her into the bedroom.

Right after the door closed behind them, he started kissing her.

Adina was out of breath from the kissing. She said weakly with her hand on his chest, “It‘s daytime. What if the children come in…”

“No, they won‘t.” Duke held her waist as he whispered, “You seem to be a little tired lately.”

“Yes, I am, actually.”

She nodded earnestly.

For her, she felt that a storm would only come when things looked the most peaceful.

This was just her defense mechanism.

“Rest, then. I‘ll accompany you while you take a nap.” Duke carried her, put her onto the bed, and tucked her in. She grabbed his hand. “Are you going to just accompany me?”
