Chapter 833 Aunt Mandy was so angry that she was breathing heavily. Mabel put down her teacup.
âForget you, even 1, as the mother-in-law, neverinterfere with Addyâs personal matters.â âYouâre her
mother-in-law, and sheâs your daughter-in law.
How can she be so arrogant to the elderly?â Aunt Mandy lowered her voice and angrilysaid, âWhen Duke
wasnât married, I showed you my niece.
Sheâs such an obedient girl.
If she married Duke, she would be great at taking care of her husband and serving her mother-in law.
She would not disrespect her mother-in-law like Adina.â Mabel seemed indifferent, but her thoughts were
completely differentfrom Mandyâs.
She and Duke were in a tough situation.
They were biological mother and son, but they had not been able to talk to each other at all for a week.
But Addy, the middle person, never thought of mediating things.
If it were Mandyâs niece, the situation would not have become so terrible.
She knew that Addy had not done anything wrong, but she still hoped that Addy could have done more.
While Aunt Mandy was complaining downstairs, her babbling inevitably reached the master bedroom.
Adina knew that Aunt Mandy was complaining about her, but she could not hear what was being said
exactly.
She nestled in Dukeâs arms while she softly asked, âDuke, did I go too far by talking to Aunt Mandy like
that?â
Infobagh
âYou were right.â Duke held her slimwaist.
âI know Aunt Mandyâs character.
If you make it sound more serious, she wonât dare gossip again.â
Adina wrapped her arms around his neckand said, âWhat if I get into a fight with your mom one day?â
Duke could choose her without hesitation when it came to Aunt Mandy and his wife.
Would he still be on her side if it was between his mother and her?
âIâve told you before that youâre always right.â Duke leaned down andgave her a kiss on the lips.
âNo matter what happens, Iâll always stand by your side.â Adinaâs heart was full of tenderness.
She gave the man a sweet and affectionate kiss in return.
She sighed and said, âDuke, somethingâs wrong with your mom.
I told you before that you should talk with your mom more when you have time.
Maybe you can ease her worries.â Dukeâs expression darkened slightly.
âMy momâs worry is Earl.
As long as I spare Earl, she wonât be worried anymore.
But itâs impossible to spare him.
My mom will need to live with her worries for the rest of her life.â
Adina remained silent without answering him.
She had not experienced everything that Duke had, so it was not her place to ask himto forgive Mabel.
In fact, she could not forgive Mabel either.
Perhaps time would erase everything, so she should just leave these grudges and entanglements to time.
âOkay, letâs not think about it.â Adina raised her head and kissed Dukeâs chin.

Duke rolled over and pinned her down.
âMay 1?â he asked softly.
Adina snorted.
âIf I say no, will you leave me be?â Duke chuckled before he lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
Adina wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes slightly while they enjoyed the intimate moment.
Right then, a voice that did not belong to her suddenly appeared in her mind.
