Chapter 117 It was only after Adina carried Melody to the lobby that she sighed in relief. The little girl let
go of her neck, and she looked self-blame and guilty. “Mel, tell mommy why did you come to Winters
Corporation?”
Adina asked in a low voice. However, the girl looked dumbfounded as she widened her eyes. She could
not say a word. Adina sighed. “You just need to shake your head or nod. Did anyone bring you here?”
Melody shook her head. “So, did you come here on your own?” Melody nodded.
Adina pursed her lips.
She wanted to ask why Melody would go there, and she also wanted to ask how Melody knew the place.
But Melody did not speak, so it was useless even if she asked. She stroked her daughter’s hair. Only
then did she realize that Melody had changed her clothes. When she left the house, she had worn a pink
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdress, but she was wearing a loose long sleeved blouse and pants now.
Besides, when she arrived at Duke’s office just now, it seemed like Melody had just stepped out of the
shower.
What happened for Melody to need a shower? Adina slowly pursed her pink lips.
She should not have left in a hurry just now. She had not even asked about certain things that she
should have asked.
She held Melody tightly as she walked out of the building, and she coincidentally heard a conversation
between a few security guards. “The little girl today is really pretty. She was taken by Mr. Winters for so
long. I wonder if she is fine.”
“It’s my first time to see Mr. Winters show such a gentle expression. He will not do anything to the girl.”
“Hey, what relationship do you think is between the little girl and Mr. Winters? Why did such a small kid
hide in the flower bed for two hours just to wait for Mr. Winters to come out?”
“Also, the little girl was in Winters Corporation for about two hours. Her parents didn’t come and look for
her. Do you think Mr. Winters is her father?”
“The girl looks so dirty, but Mr. Winters actually did not mind it. He just held her with his arms. Maybe she
is really his biological daughter.”
“Shh! Don’t talk nonsense, or you’ll be blacklisted by Winters Corporation!”
“Bah! Don’t spread this out and ruin Mr. Winters’ reputation, or I’ll not be able to stay in Sea City….”
When Adina listened to the conversation, her expression became complex in an instant.
Did they mean Melody came to Winters Corporation alone, and she hid in the flowerbed for two hours
after she was refused entry to the building?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMelody was not a patient person because of her disorder. No matter what she did, it would not last for
more than an hour.
Yet, she had actually squatted in the dirty flowerbed for so long just to wait for Duke. Why did Melody
want to see Duke? Adina recalled the first time they met. Melody rushed into Duke’s arms on the road
that day.
Was the man so attractive to Melody?
She lowered her head and whispered, “Mel, do you like Duke very much?” Something flashed in the girl’s
dumbfounded gaze before she nodded hard. Adina’s feelings became more complicated
So, she had really misunderstood Duke today. Duke had carried Melody out of the flowerbed. He had
also helped Melody take a shower and even changed into new clothes.
But she had criticized him for no reason.
Melody even poured a glass of milk onto his head. Adina stroked her nose awkwardly. She could not go
upstairs again and apologize.
