My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 63

Adina seriously stared at Harold. “You’re a boy. You can’t cry so easily.”

Melody was a girl, and she rarely cried too.

“I won’t cry anymore, Auntie Adina…” Harold sniffed. “I… I haven’t seen you for such a long time. I’ve missed you…”

As soon as he said that, his face turned red.

The corner of Duke’s lips twitched.

When did this rascal learn how to say such cringey words? Why had he not been aware of it?

Besides, what kind of charm did this woman have to make this mischievous boy, Harold, look so pitiful and sad?

Adina felt embarrassed because of it too.

She was actually fond of the kid, but Harold was a child of the Winters family. If she showed him too much concern, they might suspect her of trying to seek connections with the Winters family.

She put Harold on the floor and said in a low voice, “I still have something else to do, so I’ll be on my way. Goodbye.”

“No!”

Harold hugged her thighs.

It sounded like he was choking up again. “You just got here, but you’re already leaving. I haven’t seen enough of you.”

Duke was speechless.

Where did he learn such cheesy words from?

Adina held her forehead helplessly. “Harold, I really have something to do…”

“Waaa! I’m miserable…” The tears that Harold had held back for a long time finally flowed. “Dad grounds me at home and makes me study every day. I can’t sleep and eat well. I haven’t eaten my lunch yet. I’m hungry. I’m starving… You don’t like me either. You want to leave the moment you see me. Am I annoying?”

The boy let go of Adina’s thighs, squatted on the floor, and kept crying.

His tears kept rolling down, and the floor became wet.

Adina’s chest tightened, and she felt suffocated.

She squatted down as well and whispered, “You said you haven’t eaten lunch yet?”
