Dew opened her eyes wide and nodded. “George, I love your father as well as you and Harold. I want to become a part of the family with you. But your father never wants to look at me. I’m really afraid that he’ll marry another woman and give you a stepmother. I’m scared that your stepmother will abuse you and treat you unfairly. I’m also afraid that your stepmother will treat you so nicely that both of you will forget me as your biological mother.”
Those were Dew’s real thoughts.
She spoke while she cried, and her expression was that of sorrow.
“Dad has wasted five years of your time, and it’s really his fault. I’ll talk about this with Dad today.” George stood up and slowly said, “Mom, please rest well and wait for the news.”
After he spoke, he walked out of the ward.
Dew looked incredibly surprised. She grabbed Ruby’s hand and excitedly said, “Mom, did you hear him? George wants to talk to Duke for me. He’s really smart, so he must have a way to convince Duke to marry me.”
“Duke Winters is a cruel jerk!” Ruby cursed in a low voice. “You gave birth to his sons, and you’ve waited for him for so many years, but he’s never thought of marrying you! Luckily, George is mature, or you might not be able to marry into the Winters family even when you’re old!”
Dew curled her lips into a sneer and said, “After I marry Duke, Adina Daugherty will be the first person I deal with! I’ll let her enjoy the next few days for now. When she’s at the top of the world, I’ll pull her down to hell. That way, she’ll fall more miserably!”
George went back to the Winters family manor.
It was still quite early, and Duke had not returned from his company.
George quietly went upstairs and pushed open the door to the study.
A teacher was teaching with enthusiasm, while Harold was resting his head on the table and sleeping with a book on top of his head.
George walked in and spoke gently. “Mr. Davis, let’s end the class here. We’ll continue tomorrow.”
