Chapter 739 He whispered to them, “This place is unsafe. I‘ll ask someone to take you back home.”
Melody tugged on his sleeve. “Daddy, you haven‘t answered my question. I won‘t leave until you do.” H
arold almost burst into tears again. “Daddy, is it true that you don‘t
remember us anymore? You don‘t want to remember us?” He Sobbed. “Daddy, you‘re wicked. Mommy
has taken great pains to look for you, but you don‘t remember us anymore… Daddy, if you drive us out,
you will regret your decision… You‘ll regret it…”
Terry felt as if his
heart was pricked with a knife. He did not want to put the children in danger. Besides, he had to find out
what exactly had happened.
If he returned to his family before finding out the truth, things like this might happen again in the future.
He might not be able to save them. “Don‘t cry.” He wiped off Harold
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand Melody‘s tears.” After I finish my business, I‘ll visit you—”
“You lie to us!” Harold sobbed loudly. “You don‘t remember Melody
and me, you can‘t possibly come and look for us.”
Melody wailed. “Daddy, I‘m hungry. Can I eat something
before I go home?”
Terry whispered to them, “When there are other people around, don‘t address me as your daddy, okay?
” He looked solemn. Harold recalled his older brother‘s words. George had mentioned that most of the
people around their father were his enemies.
He nodded. “Okay. Melody and I won‘t address you as our daddy.” “Good boy, good girl.” Terry stroked
the children‘s heads and instructed the servants to bring them with food.
The children sat at the long table obediently. Various types of dishes and desserts were served.
Louis rushed in. “Boss, Ms. Daugherty is outside now. She requests to see you.” The
children were delighted. They then lowered their heads guiltily. They had sneaked out of the house. Th
ey had planned to return within an hour but… Adina anxiously waited at the entrance. Louis returned to
her and led her into the mansion.
“Ms. Daugherty, Ms. Isabelle was here just now, but she was not allowed to enter the mansion.” Louis t
old her in whispers. “Also, Boss killed two of Ms. Isabelle‘s most trusted bodyguards.”
“What exactly had happened?” asked Adina.
“Two children appeared out of nowhere. One of them bit
Ms. Isabelle‘s hand. She instructed the bodyguards to shatter their teeth. Fortunately, the Boss showed
up just in time.” Louis explained everything to Adina. “Boss shot the two bodyguards without mercy. Ms
. Isabelle and Boss are enemies now. I guess Elder Maurice will take further action soon.”

children would have suffered horrifying things!
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself before marching into the living hall.
The dining hall was on the east of the
living hall. From where she stood, she saw Terry touching Melody‘s head gently. She heard her little lau
ghter. It had been so long since she had seen something like that. A lump formed in her throat.
“In the past, I always thought of Boss as a brutal and bloodthirsty man. He shows no mercy to anyone.
I never expected him to adore those children so much,” whispered Louis. “But the children offended Ms
. Isabelle … I‘m afraid they will still face danger in the future. I wonder if the Boss can protect them…”
Adina pursed her lips and walked into the
dining hall. The children had been laughing. But when she entered, they
fell silent and lowered their heads in shame.
Adina‘s gaze fell on Harold‘s swollen cheek. She guessed that Isabelle must have struck him.
She vowed to return that slap sooner or later. But this wasn‘t the time to pity her children‘s injuries.
Adina walked to them. She pursed her lips. “Mr. Terry, thank you for helping my children. I will be taking
them home now.”
