My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 574

Chapter 574

A strange aura permeated the room, and Adina immediately pushed the man away.

She rolled over to the right side of the bed and switched on the light with a snap.

The moment the light came on, the man covered his face.

Adina frowned and looked over with a sharp gaze. When the man covered his face, she found his demeanor very unfamiliar for some reason.

It was as if the original Duke had suddenly disappeared.

"The fire burned my eyes today. Switch off the light first."

The man covered half of his face as he spoke in a husky voice.

Adina crawled from the corner of the bed, pursed her lips, and said, "Show me. If it's severe, you'll need some medication."

She raised her hand and moved the man's fingers away one by one.

An extremely familiar face appeared before her. Adina saw his eyebrows that were furrowed, a habit that he had developed, and she also observed his tall nose and thin lips that he had used to kiss her. "Addy, why are you looking at me like that?" the man asked as he stared at her.

Adina suppressed all the strange thoughts in her mind. "When

you went to put out the fire at the cemetery today, I called you many times. Why didn't you answer my call or reply to any of my messages?"

The man curled the corners of his lips. "I dropped my phone in the fire. Someone will send me a new phone tomorrow."

The way he curled his lips was once again strange to Adina.

She pulled the blanket over and covered herself. "It's 4.00 am. I have to get some sleep since I'll need to greet the elderly tomorrow."

She raised her hand and switched off the light before she put her head under the blanket.

Meanwhile, the man, who was sitting on the other side of the bed, darkened his gaze like a demon that just crawled out from hell.

He raised his arm and patted the blanket. "Go ahead and sleep first. I'll take a shower."

He entered the bathroom and closed the door behind him. Then, he flicked open a lighter and lit a cigarette.

Duke never smoked, which meant he had to hide while he smoked from now onward.

The man looked at the familiar yet strange face in the mirror, and he slowly curled the corners of his lips. He wore a vicious and profound smile.

"Duke Winters, I told you I would take everything that belongs to me." He stared at the mirror and firmly said, "And it's time for you to experience my life in the past twenty years. It's up to you

to decide whether you live or die.

"From now on, I'll be Duke Winters." S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The man put out his cigarette and flushed it down the toilet.

Adina did not sleep soundly that night. When she woke up in the morning, she looked at the pillow beside her, as though it was a habit. The blanket had not been moved. That meant her husband, Duke, did no get in bed last night.

She tussled her hair and washed up before she went to the room next door to check on the kids. All her four children were still sleeping.

Mr. Brown respectfully said, "Good morning, Mdm. Winters, just invited the family doctor over to examine them. The young masters and young lady got a little inebriated, so they'll be

sleeping for at least twenty-four hours. Please don't worry."

Adina pursed her lips.

She finally understood how some problems could arise between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

She did not know how Mrs. Winters could allow four-year-old children to drink without limitation.

Adina finally walked down the stairs after she kissed each of her kids on the cheek.

According to the custom in Sea City, the bride and the groom had to greet their elderly the day after their wedding.

Mrs. Winters was already sitting in the living room downstairs, but Adina did not see Duke at all.

"The master received a call from the company in the morning for a meeting." After Mr. Brown explained, he handed her a cup of Earl Grey tea. "Madam, please."

Adina held the cup of tea and walked to Mrs. Winters before she politely said, "Mom, please enjoy some tea."

Mrs. Winters picked up the teacup and drank from it. Then she put a bangle on Adina's hand.

"Addy, I'm really happy that you've become my daughter-in-law." Mrs. Winters held her hand and said, "Although the Winters family is a powerful family with a lot of property, there are very few members in it. You don't have to feel burdened as Mdm. Winters. I just wish that you can help Duke to extend the

family's prosperity and wealth. Of course, it would be much better if you can give birth to a few more grandchildren for me."
