Adina thought the wind had pushed the door shut. But when she saw Dukeâs dark expression, she instantly came to a realization.
She quickly walked to the door and pulled the doorknob. Sure enough, the door was locked from the outside.
âDad, Mommy, you can sleep together tonight!â
They could hear Haroldâs mischievous laughter outside.
Adina pursed her lips. âHal, youâre a good boy. Open the door now.â
âI canât hear anything. Something seems to be wrong with my ears. George, help me clean my ears,â
Harold said as he ran away.
Soon, it became silent outside the room.
Adina felt her head ache. Harold was truly a mischievous boy.
Just as she was about to call Alden to open the door, Duke suddenly held her hand.
Then, she heard his low and husky voice. âIf we donât fulfill Haroldâs wish this time, heâll try to put us in the same room again in the future. Instead of guarding against his unexpected actions, we should just do what he wants.â
Adina narrowed her eyes. âWhy do I feel like youâre desperate to be in the same room as me?â
âCough!â
Duke covered his lips with his fist and coughed unnaturally.
He said, âYouâre the mother of my children, so Iâll respect you. Donât worry. Even though weâre in the same room, I wonât do anything to you.â
Adina pursed her pink lips.
Since they first met, this man had expressed a strong interest in her body more than once.
She really wanted to know whether this man genuinely liked her or just her body.
She had to admit that he was a charming man.
He had on a suit at the moment, and the white shirt made his stern expression slightly gentler. His features looked exquisite and glowed under the chandelier too.
His face alone was sufficient to make anyone fall for him.
What he had recently done also made her like him more.
If the same continued, she would agree to marry into the Winters family one day.
Adinaâs long lashes drooped.
If this manâs feelings for her surpassed his interest in her body, perhaps she could consider the first option.
âIf youâre afraid , Iâll call Mr. Brown and get him to open the door.â
Duke took out his phone.
Adina raised her head and indifferently said, âYouâre right. Even if we successfully get out this time, the same thing will happen over and over again. We should just do what the kids want. Sleeping here for a night is nothing. You can take the bed. Iâll sleep on the couch.â
She bent down and started making the bed. After she was done, she took out another blanket and put it on the couch.
While it was a bedroom, the couch inside was still big enough to let her, a 1.65-meter-tall woman, lie down and sleep for the night.
Right after she made the couch, Duke sat on it and nonchalantly said, âYou can take the bed. Iâll take the couch.â
Adina frowned. âBut youâre so tall. This couch canât accommodate you.â
âItâs not a problem.â Duke crossed his legs and lay on the couch. He curled his lips slightly. âIsnât that all I have to do?â
Adina shrugged. âOkay, donât blame me if you wake up with your back hurting tomorrow morning.â
She turned around and headed to the washroom, but she realized that she did not have clothes to change into.
