Melody also pounced forward, but Adina avoided her.
Adina’s eyes were locked on Alden.
But the noise in her mind was growing louder and louder, and it was replaying itself more and more…
“Addy…”
Duke walked over and held her in his arms.
“You haven’t rested yet, I’ll take you upstairs.”
Without another word, he led Adina up the stairs, but she forcefully broke free from him.
She crouched down in front of Alden and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Al, Mommy has to make a decision.”
As though he had anticipated this, Alden remained calm. “Tell me what it is, Mommy.”
“Leave the Winters family.” Every word Adina said sent a pang into her heart, but she soldiered on to finish the sentence. “Don’t live in the Winters family’s mansion anymore, go wherever you wish.”
Even though he had anticipated this, Alden was nonetheless shocked by this and was at a loss for words for a long time.
“Addy, how could you make this kind of joke to a four-year-old child?” Mabel was incredulous. “Al is only a child, where is he supposed to go?”
Duke’s eyes grew dark. He walked over and said, “Al, did you hear Mommy’s words clearly?”
“I-I heard them.” Alden had difficulty getting his mouth to open. “I’ll move out today.”
“Al, how can you take a joke so seriously?!” Mabel said angrily. “As long as I’m around, no one is kicking you out of the house!”
“I’m not joking,” Adina said quietly, “Mrs. Winters, I would also like for you to leave the Winters family’s mansion.”
“What did you say?!” Mabel was stunned. “Addy, speak plainly.”
“Mrs. Winters, why don’t you bring the children to Ascrialia?” Adina clenched her fists and spoke in a steady voice. “When Duke and I are done working through this busy period, we’ll go to Ascrialia to bring you all home.”
