My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 116

Adina sighed. She stroked Melody’s hair and rubbed her forehead with her cheek.

Then, she looked up at the man who sat at the table in the CEO’s office, and she softly said, “Mr. Winters, thank you for looking after my daughter.”

Duke played with the pen in his hand, and his gaze was cold. “If I didn’t meet her, your daughter might have been in the hands of the human trafficker.”

“Mr. Winters, why… did my daughter appear in Winters Corporation?”

Adina pursed her lips and slowly asked.

Alden had been very smart since he was little, so she never had to worry about him going out and taking the bus alone.

In contrast, Melody had been pampered and protected by the family. She never left home alone, especially because she had difficulty communicating.

Adina really did not understand why Melody would go there.

Duke leaned on the chair and coldly said, “I also want to ask you this. Your daughter is still so small. Why did she come to Winters Corporation alone?”

He sounded like he was testing her out.

Adina narrowed her eyes. “Mr. Winters, do you think I purposely let her come here to look for you?”

Duke’s gaze was cold and profound, and he did not speak.

“Countless women want to be Mrs. Winters, but I’m sorry, I’m not interested in becoming a stepmother.” Adina chuckled. “The police have established a case for my missing daughter. They might come to you for a statement later. I have a reminder for you. When you found the missing child, you should’ve contacted the police immediately. Otherwise, it’s very easy for people to misunderstand and think that you kidnapped my daughter!”

Her gaze was as sharp as a knife.

Duke was speechless. He suddenly sneered.

He was so kind to help her daughter, but she still threatened him.

This woman was really ungrateful!

He got up and slowly walked toward Adina.

He was more than 1.8 meters tall. When he stood up, he blocked out most of the light from the ceiling.

He emanated a very threatening aura like he was a demon from hell.

Adina held Melody in her arms as she took a step back.
