My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 10

Adina went to Xavier Corporation to insert the chip she developed into the company’s products. This way, the data in the chip could be inserted into the programmes of the products.

Adina and her children sat in the backseat of the car while waiting to arrive at their destination.

“Alden, play with your sister in the waiting room later. Once I’m done, we’ll go back home together, okay?”

Alden nodded. “I won’t let anyone hurt Mel, Mommy. Don’t worry. You can just go to work.”

“Good boy.”

Adina stroked his hair and kissed her daughter’s cheek.

The girl’s pretty face was soft, just like cotton candy. Adina could not resist pinching it.

“Mommy, why are you bullying Mel again?!” Alden quickly stopped her.

Adina felt a little guilty. “Well… Mel is just too cute, you know? I couldn’t resist…”

Suddenly, the car came to a screeching halt.

The three people in the backseat were all thrown forward.

There was a loud noise from the front of the car.

“I’m sorry, Miss Adina. I seem to have run into the car in front of us. I’ll go out and handle the situation,” the driver said apologetically and opened the door to get out.

Adina checked on her children. They were fine.

But suddenly, the usually unresponsive Mel suddenly grabbed the door handle and pushed the door open.

It opened by a crack.

“Mel, we’re on the road. You can’t open the door, okay?” Adina shut the door.

But the girl opened it again.

Before Adina could close it again, Mel slipped from her hands and jumped out of the car.

A man came out of the car they had rammed in the back.

He had an imposing presence. His tall and lean figure was clad in a black suit, and he had a cold look on his face.

The Xavier family’s driver did not know him, but he could sense his powerful presence.

This man was even more imposing than Richard, the head of the Xavier family.

“W-We’ll take full responsibility, Sir. You…” the driver said nervously.

Duke’s face was as cold as ice.

He usually had a driver to take him around, but today, his driver called in sick, so he chose to drive himself.

But someone tailgated him the moment he left his mansion.

He could not be bothered to deal with this sort of matter, but he had to.

Just when he was about to speak, a small girl suddenly charged at him and crashed into his leg.

It immediately ruined Duke’s day.
