Mr. Brown saw that the expression on luis face was icy. His eyes were stone cold. His thin lips were livlity pursed. A sullen aura surrounded him, but at the same time, Mr. Browni Caughita hint of helplessness on his face, Helplessness?
So, Master did not know what happened either?
Or he knew what happened, but he just did not know how to resolve it? Mr. Brown scratched his chin and sighed with great concern.
When it came to making up with a woman, he knew nothing about it either. Otherwise, he would not have been single for decades. âBuzz buzz.â
Just then, Dukeâs phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID, Trent.
It was always about drinking and having fun when this guy called. He was about to hang up the call when his finger suddenly paused.
Trent Sunderland, the second son of the Sunderland family, the famous playboy in Sea City. He got a new girlfriend every three days. When it came to understanding women, no one in the circle could outmatch him.
Duke pressed the answer button and walked toward the door.
Thirty minutes later, when Duke arrived at Rock bar, Trent and Eilam were already drinking, âDuke, itâs a rarity that you would grace us with your presence today.â
Trent poured a glass of wine and handed it over.
Duke took the glass and sat on the couch.
With a sullen expression, he lifted the glass and finished the wine in it. Then he handed the empty glass over and gestured for Trent to fill it up. âWhat has gotten to you? You are actually going all out?â
Trent immediately filled his glass and leaned closer to him. âI see that there is a dark line of fate running down between your brows, while your cheeks are pink. This is a typical face of someone who is troubled with love. You didnât come here to get drunk just because youâre suffering from relationship trouble, did you?â
Duke gave him a look. âShut up.â âCome on, weâre buddies. We can tell each other everything.â Trent sat down next to him and put his arm around his shoulder. He lowered his voice and said, âLet me guess. My friend, is it about Adina again?â
When Eilam heard Adinaâs name, he sat closer to them as well. âDuke, I read the technical core report of the project sent by Ms. Daugherty. Iâın telling you, it was impressive. Everyone in Walker Corporationâs technical department was shocked, especially with the new technical programming formula she came up with. Itâs freaking awesome!â Eilam continued to ramble compliments about her. Duke somehow felt a little proud. The cold expression on his face faded significantly. (Tsk!â Trent stared at him. âItâs really because of Adina, that woman. Your very demeanor is actually being controlled by a woman, Mr. Winters. Tell me now, are you just fooling around with her or are you serious about her?â
Duke gripped his glass and didnât really know how to answer.
Fooling around with her?
Or serious about her?
He had never even thought about it.
He just could not help but want to get closer to the woman. It was like he was being pulled by a mysterious force.
âDarn it! This is bad! You have been poisoned!â Trent observed his expression. âYouâre actually starting to think about this seriously, which means youâre not just fooling around! Duke, Adina is someone who has given birth. You must nip that kind of thought in the bud!â Duke glanced over coldly. âI have two sons, too.â
Trent put his hands up to give in. âFine. You guys are not much different. If you both have feelings for each other, then you deserve to be with each other.â
âButâ¦â He leaned closer. âSince you guys are so cut out for each other, what exactly is bothering you tonight, then?â
Duke took a sip of wine and said in a low voice, âI told her about George and Haroldâs mother. She suddenly started to get angry. No matter how I explained it, she just wouldnât listen. Tell me, why is that?â
