Chapter 534
âThe Winters family is most unlike the other wealthy families Iâve met. Mrs. Winters isnât as rigid and picky as those rich and noble ladies. Sheâs gentle, and the Winters family has always been peaceful.
Itâs harmonious. Why is she saying that she canât fulfill the late Mr. Wintersâ wish?
When Adina saw how heartbroken Mrs. Winters were, she did not dare to ask any more questions. She could only comfort her softly.
âThanks, Addy. Iâm feeling much better now. You can go accompany Duke in the ward. I need to be alone.â
Adina nodded and watched as Mrs. Winters walked off.
She did not ask her children to come to the ward with her when she saw that they were having a good time.
The moment she entered the ward, she could feel something was off.
Duke was laying on the bed with a dark expression . He looked extremely cold and fierce.
Adina walked over and asked gently, âWhat happened?â
âNothing.â
Duke looked at her and his cold expression gradually
faded away âReally?â Adina frowned. âWhat did Catherine say to
you?â
The history was too dark to be shared, and Duke did not want it to affect Adinaâs emotions.
He smiled and said, âAddy, tell me the truth, are you jealous?â
Adina laughed. âDo I look like someone who easily gets jealous?â
âWhy did you ask what Catherine did, then?â Duke joked deliberately, âJust tell me. I will never speak to any woman alone in the future.â
âHmph!â
Adina turned away.
âIâm not that possessive.â
She suddenly remembered something. She turned to him and asked, âIâve always wanted to ask you whatâs between you and Earley?â As soon as she said these words, Dukeâs expression darkened visibly.
âAddy, never speak of Earley again.â He said in a low voice, âI will never let him harm you or our children anymore. Donât think much about him.â
Adina felt relieved after she heard what Duke said.
âIâm not afraid of Earley, Iâm just scared that heâs lurking and targeting the children.
âBut with Duke around, I donât have to be scared.â
After they had their lunch, Adina took the children to try on some clothes. Dukeâs injuries had not healed yet, so he could only watch his wife and children leave in the car.
He was feeling sad when Jake called.
âMr. Winters, bad news. Weâve lost track of him.â
Dukeâs gaze was cold. âItâs normal to lose track of him. Of course, he wonât stay in the same place and allow himself to be monitored. Send in more men and find him again!â
âOkay!â
After he hung up, he removed the blanket and sat up.
The wedding day is around the corner. I must send Earl away from Sea City on the wedding day. Or else, I wonât be at peace.
The attending doctor came in when he wore his shoes.â Mr. Winters, why are you up? Your injuries are not healed yet. You canât leave the hospital.â
