My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 221

Melody had been different from other children since birth.

People always said that daughters were sweethearts, but Melody was not the affectionate type. She never cried or made a fuss, and she rarely asked for a hug.

This was the first time that Melody had taken the initiative to climb on Adina over the past year.

Naturally, her daughter was more important than another person’s child.

Adina carried Melody and softly asked, “Mel, what’s wrong?”

The little girl hugged Adina’s neck without answering.

Duke walked over and softly said, “I’m sorry. I wasn’t paying attention.”

Adina narrowed her eyes. “What happened?”

“Aunt Adina, that witch bullied Mel!” Harold said angrily. “Luckily, I responded quickly. I shielded Mel, or else, Mel’s face would have been swollen!”

He stood up straight, feeling proud. “I’m a man, and I’m her brother. I said I would protect Mel. Aren’t I amazing, Aunt Adina?”

Adina stroked his head. “Thank you, Harold.”

She was smiling, but her eyes were cold.

She had thought of letting Melody be around Duke more, but how could she still have such thoughts when a certain time bomb named Dew was around there?

Melody was only four years old, yet Dew hurt her. Dew’s heart was indeed as vicious and twisted as it used to be.

“This won’t happen again.” Duke pursed his lips. “Let’s sit down and eat.”

Adina looked down.

Today would be the last time.

She would not bring her children over again.
