My Mommy’s Brave Heart

Chapter 30

Adina ruffled his hair. “Come, let‘s find Mel together.”

She had already shown her face at the banquet, so there was no need for her to continue wasting time talking to people who had ulterior motives for talking to her. It was better to spend more time with her children.

Adina took Alden‘s hand and went to the waiting room upstairs,

Madam Xavier was old and did not like attending banquets. Instead of going downstairs, she spent the evening looking after Melody in the waiting room,
