When Adina and the children were finished with the grocery shopping, they returned to the mansion.
The children sat in the living room watching cartoons , while Adina went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Flint followed her.
âI drove Jasmine away,â he said while peeling the beans.
âIâm sorry, Addy. I didnât pay attention to my spending, so Jasmine used it to find my location.
Fortunately , she didnât meet you.â
âIt doesnât matter even if she meets me.â Adina pursed her lips.
âI avoided her because I didnât want to cause trouble. However, I wonât be so generous if trouble comes to me. Jasmine is not stupid. She is likely to contact Earl. I tricked Earl, so he will probably come to find me in person.â Flint sneered.
âIf he dares to come here, you and Duke can catch him and deal with him.â
Adina lowered her head and prepared the ingredients. Duke had lost his memories. It was unlikely that he would kill someone who looked exactly like him without knowing everything. Even if Duke recovered his memory, he might not really be able to kill his own brother. It was not easy to deal with Earl. She had to tread carefully. Seeing that she was in a complicated mood, Flint changed the subject.
âHow did it go with the queen?â Adina smiled.
âIt went well. Queen Mavice has a daughter, and children are a womanâs weakness. She can easily be persuaded. Iâll go to Duke tonight or tomorrow morning to tell him about it.â Flint shook his head in disapproval.

âItâs me.â
Adina went straight to the point.
âThe phone monitoring equipment has been blocked, so we can talk freely. I met the queen today, and she agreed to cooperate. You can arrange for someone to meet the queen tomorrow.â
âLetâs wait for three days,â Duke said slowly.
âIâll send someone to monitor Queen Mavice for three days. If she doesnât meet other forces, it means she is trustworthy.â
Adina nodded. âBe careful. I still need to cook, so Iâll hang up?â
âAddyâ¦â the man stopped her. His voice was husky and soft. âApart from these, donât you have anything else to say to me?â
Adinaâs heart pounded when she heard his low voice. She said, nonchalantly, âWhat else should I say?â
âHm⦠did you⦠miss me?â. The husky voice came from the other end of the phone like an electric current, and it hit Adinaâs heart. Adinaâs ears turned red. She whispered, âNo.â
âBut I missed you.â
As soon as Duke said that, the living room burst into an uproar.
