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,

Morganna and Maple did not want to watch Adina shine under the spotlight, so they stayed in the waiting room and spoke with Madam Xavier.

Melody sat on the balcony and read a book. She was fair, and her milky–white skin captured everyone‘s attention.

Maple tried to smooth over the situation. “I have a nephew who is also autistic, just like Mel. I heard from the doctors that it‘s hard to cure this condition. But if the parents are around, it‘s more likely. Madam, just who is Mel‘s father? Why won‘t Addy tell us anything about him?”

She was indirectly asking about Melody‘s father.
