My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 18

Adina searched the whole residential area with the boy but found no cat.

In the end, she realized that she might have been deceived.

She stared at the boy coldly. “Are you really here to look for a cat?”

Harold’s heart trembled under her stare.

He was not a boy who liked lying, but if he did not lie, he would not have a proper excuse to stay with the woman.

He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Adina knew that she had guessed right, and she asked, “What’s your name? Where do you live? I’ll send you home.”

Suddenly, Harold felt sad.

He had come so far and taken such a huge risk to see her, but she wanted to send him back before even spending half an hour with him!

He was so sad that tears began to collect in his eyes. “I don’t want to go back!”

He stared at Adina stubbornly, and the sadness in his eyes nearly turned into tears that gushed out of his eyes.

In an instant, Adina felt as if someone had seized her heart, and her breath caught in her throat.

She had two children of her own. Her son was mature and obedient, while her daughter was obedient but unsociable. Neither of them was a crybaby.

The number of times they had cried in their life did not even exceed five.

But at this moment, someone else’s son was about to start crying in front of her.

For some reason, her heart ached for him.

Adina sighed and squatted down to speak to him gently. “If you don’t want to go back, you can come to my house for a while. But you’ll have to go back after that. Otherwise, your parents will be worried.”

Her voice was gentle and soft, just like cotton candy, and all of Harold’s sadness instantly vanished.

He could no longer control the raging emotions in his heart, and he threw himself into Adina’s arms.

Caught by surprise, she nearly fell over.

She picked the boy up and whispered, “There’s a playground here. Why don’t we play there for a while?”

However, when she turned around, she suddenly heard many footsteps behind her.

Before she could understand what was going on, she was surrounded by more than ten bodyguards dressed in black. They gave off an even more imposing aura than the bodyguards from the Daugherty family.

Adina thought that Dew had sent her bodyguards to catch her again, but a moment later, she saw a man walk over from behind the bodyguards.

It was Duke Winters.
