My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 411

Duke parked the car and stepped out.

He had come five minutes earlier, hoping he could fetch the two children before Adina did. However, just as he went out of his car, he could feel a cold gaze fixated on him.

He looked in that direction and from afar, he saw a slender person slowly approaching him.

“Mr. Winters, why are you here?”

Adina asked with a slight frown as she looked at him.

Duke smiled. “Didn’t I tell you not to call me Mr. Winters?”

Adina froze.

‘I used to call him Duke just to play along when I pretended to be his girlfriend.

‘But there’s no need for such pretenses anymore.’

She said plainly, “I will pick Al and Mel up. You can go on with whatever it is you need to do.”

“I’m their biological father. This is my duty,” Duke said in a low voice; it sounded as low as the tune of a cello. “You’ve worked hard for the past four years. From now on, I’ll help you out.”

Adina’s heart skipped a beat.

She could only suppress that strange emotion after she dug her nails into her palm.

She did not dare to meet Duke’s gaze as she spoke calmly, “I’m used to it. You don’t have to…”

“I insist.” Duke interrupted her. “Don’t worry. I won’t fight for the children’s custody. I only want to give them the love I failed to shower them with over the past few years.”

With those words, Adina was at a loss.

‘His intentions for Al and Mel are the same as mine toward George and Harold—to make it up to them.

‘We must give them the love that they have missed out on for the past four years.’

Adina said nothing else. The two of them stood at the entrance of the preschool quietly.
