Chapter 415
George shifted his cold gaze to Harold.
His gaze was so cold that Harold, who had been fake crying, became overwhelmed and instantly
stopped.
“Didn’t Melody give you a present before?”
When he heard George’s words, Harold quickly replied,” Oh, yes! Melody gave me a present before. It
was a drawing by her. I’m the only one who has ever received a present from her. Nobody else got
anything from her! I’m the luckiest boy ever! Melody, I love you so much!”
Harold was so happy that he gave Melody’s cheek a peck. Duke frowned and pulled Harold back by his
collar. He then said coldly, “Don’t kiss Mel ever again.”
Harold felt aggrieved as he pouted. “Why?”
‘What is life if I can’t even kiss my sister?’ Duke said, “You’re a boy, and Mel’s a girl. Boys shouldn’t

Harold became speechless.
‘The teacher at school said this before, too. Does that mean I can never kiss Mel from now on?’
George did not utter a word.
I’ve never kissed her. Does that mean I wouldn’t have a chance to do it as well?”
Alden stayed silent.
‘Well, at least Duke got one thing right. No one is allowed to simply kiss Mel!’
Adina said helplessly, “Let’s check out what Georgie got for me.”
She opened the document that she was holding and was stunned.
It was the share transfer letter of Daugherty Corporation. She already had twenty-five percent of the
shares with her, and this equity transfer letter contained forty percent of the shares.
‘If I were to sign it, I’d have sixty-five percent of the shares of Daugherty Corporation. This means that I
would have absolute authority over the corporation.’
She truly did not expect George to give her such a present.
“Thank you, Georgie.”
Adina was really touched. She suddenly did not seem to have the heart to take out the presents that she
had prepared.
“I’m glad you like it.” George smiled. “Mommy, let’s go in.”
Adina put the document in the car. She nodded as she went inside the mansion with the children.
“Mommy, wait for me!”
Harold led Melody into the mansion, leaving Duke alone behind.
Duke touched his nose, feeling upset.
‘I don’t mind not getting a gift, but they even went into the house without me. Am I not needed in their
lives?’ 2
The cold and quiet mansion instantly became merrier when the six of them entered.

while Adina put on an apron and walked toward the kitchen.
She loved cooking, and she loved to see her children enjoy her food. Even cutting a potato could bring
her joy.
Duke followed her into the kitchen. He waved his head, chasing the other chefs out of the kitchen. The
two of them were left in that small space.
Perhaps the house’s heater was on, or perhaps the kitchen was getting hot. For some reason, Adina felt
tense.

She tried to look calm as she said lightly. “Can you shell the peas for me?”
Duke took his eyes off her. “Okay.” He brought the peas over, lowered his head, and shelled the peas.
The kitchen became even quieter. There were only sounds of Adina cutting the vegetables , the water
boiling, and the noise of the cooker hood.
Adina added oil to the pan and proceeded to put in some onion, ginger, and garlic. She instinctively took
a step back when the oil started splashing.
