Chapter 574
A strange aura permeated the room, and Adina immediately pushed the man away.
She rolled over to the right side of the bed and switched on the light with a snap.
The moment the light came on, the man covered his face.
Adina frowned and looked over with a sharp gaze. When the man covered his face, she found his dem
eanor very unfamiliar for some reason.
It was as if the original Duke had suddenly disappeared.
“The fire burned my eyes today. Switch off the light first.”
The man covered half of his face as he spoke in a husky voice.
Adina crawled from the corner of the bed, pursed her lips, and said, “Show me. If it‘s severe, you‘ll nee
d some medication.”
She raised her hand and moved the man‘s fingers away one by one.
An extremely familiar face appeared before her. Adina saw his
eyebrows that were furrowed, a habit that he had developed, and she also observed his tall nose and t
hin lips that he had used to kiss her.
“Addy, why are you looking at me like that?” the man asked as he stared at her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAdina suppressed all the strange thoughts in her mind. “When
you went to put out the fire at the cemetery today, I called you many times. Why didn’t you answer
my call or reply to any of my messages?”
The man curled the corners of his lips. “I dropped
my phone in the fire. Someone will send me a new phone tomorrow.”
The way he curled his lips was once again strange to Adina.
She pulled the blanket over and covered herself. “It‘s 4.00 am.
I have to get some sleep since I‘ll need to greet the elderly tomorrow.”
She raised her hand and switched off the light before she put her head under the blanket.
Meanwhile, the man, who was sitting on the other side of the bed, darkened his gaze like
a demon that just crawled out from hell.
He raised his arm and patted the blanket. “Go ahead and sleep first. I‘ll take a shower.”
He entered the bathroom and closed the door behind
him. Then, he flicked open a lighter and lit a cigarette.
Duke never smoked, which meant he had to hide while he smoked from now onward.
The man
looked at the familiar yet strange face in the mirror, and he slowly curled the corners of his lips. He wor
e a vicious and profound smile.
“Duke Winters, I told you I would take
everything that belongs to me.” He stared at the mirror and firmly said, “And it‘s time for you to experien
ce my life in the past twenty years. It‘s up to you
to decide whether you live or die.
“From now on, I‘ll be Duke Winters.”
The man put out his cigarette and flushed it down the toilet.
Adina did not sleep soundly that night. When
she woke up in the morning, she looked at the pillow beside her, as though it was a habit. The blanket
had not been moved. That meant her husband, Duke, did not get in bed last night.
She tussled her hair and washed up before she went to the room next door to check on the kids. All her
four children were still sleeping.
Mr. Brown respectfully said, “Good morning, Mdm. Winters, just invited the family doctor over to examin
e them. The young masters and young lady got a little inebriated, so they‘ll be
sleeping for at least twenty–four hours. Please don‘t worry.”
Adina pursed her lips.
She finally understood how some problems could arise between a mother–in–law and daughter–in–law.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe did not know how Mrs. Winters could allow four–year–old children to drink without limitation.
Adina finally walked down the stairs after she kissed each of her kids on the cheek.
According to the custom in Sea City, the bride and the groom had to greet their
elderly the day after their wedding.
Mrs. Winters was already sitting in the living room downstairs, but Adina did not see Duke at all.
“The master received a call from the company in the morning
for a meeting.” After Mr. Brown explained, he handed her a cup of Earl Grey tea. “Madam, please.”
Adina held the cup of tea and walked to Mrs. Winters before
she politely said, “Mom, please enjoy some tea.”
Mrs. Winters picked up the teacup and drank from it. Then she put a bangle on Adina‘s hand.
“Addy, I‘m really happy that you‘ve become my daughter-in–law.” Mrs. Winters
held her hand and said, “Although the Winters family is a powerful family with a lot of property, there
are very few members in it. You don‘t have to feel burdened as Mdm. Winters. I just wish that you can
help Duke to extend the
family‘s prosperity and wealth. Of course, it would be much better if you can give birth to a few more gr
andchildren for me.”
