My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 604

Chapter 604

"It isn't even dark outside yet, and you can't hold it in already?"

His tone was teasing, mocking, and was even tinged with a little interest and probing.

One would not possibly speak to their lovers in such a humiliating way if they truly loved them.

Unknowingly, Adina's heart, which was already sinking into a bottomless pit, felt an imperceptible stab of pain.

She raised her arms to swat the man's arm away, bent down to reach for two documents on the nightstand, and tossed them over to him while saying, "Sign this."

Earl's eyes narrowed, but when he saw the bold letters printed on the cover of the documents, his expression immediately turned cold. "What? You want a divorce?"

"I can marry you out of love, but I can also divorce you out of an absence of love. What's wrong with that?" Adina said without a single expression on her face. "I hope we keep the divorce in the dark for the time being, given the impact it will have on Winters Corporation and the children. We should wait until the kids are at least eight years old before we break the news to them. Until then, I will continue to live at the Winters mansion and keep our marriage status official on the surface."

Duke snorted. "You used to love me so much, and now you're suddenly telling me that you don't anymore. Do you think I'll believe you?"

"Didn't you stop loving me too?" Adina snapped back, "You stopped loving me overnight, but it took me almost a month to pull out of this relationship. In reality, you're a lot colder and crueler than I am." Earl's expression turned cold.

This woman really did not do things the usual way.

Considering her status, it was a privilege for her to marry into the Winters family. It was everything most women would ever dream of, but she actually turned it down easily like that.

He did not spoil and love her the way Duke did, but was she not supposed to do everything in her power to capture his attention and win his love?

Surprisingly, she actually proposed a divorce.

And from the looks of it, she had already prepared the divorce papers some time ago and was just waiting for him to get home, so she could shove it into his face.

"What if I don't want to get a divorce?"

Adina seemed to have expected such an answer.

Without even raising an eyebrow, she calmly said, "After the divorce, you will be freer, and it won't get in the way of anything you do with other women. As long as you don't turn it into a scandal and keep it from the kids, I don't care. It's also written clearly in the agreement that I will not take a single penny from the Winters. Divorce has no negative effects for you."

"But it doesn't do any good for me either."

Earl threw the divorce papers to the floor and stepped on them with his black leather shoes, leaving a gray shoe print on them.

"It's fine if you don't want to sign it. After three years, I will file for a divorce, and if the couple has been living apart for more than a year, the court will grant a divorce," Adina said coldly.

There was a chandelier in the bedroom, and when the bright lights shone from above them, it showed the clear daggers in the form of the woman's eyes.

However, she concealed the sharpness of the daggers very well, revealing only the icy glare of the daggers' edges.

Her eyes were like jades, her thin lips were scarlet, and she had a slim body as well. Even though Earl had seen many attractive ladies, he had to admit that she was exceptionally beautiful. He stepped forward and grabbed the woman's chin all of a sudden.

He could clearly see the hatred that floated into the woman's eyes.

"Do you hate me?" Earl slowly asked with a deep voice.

"I don't," Adina said, flashing a small smile. "I just feel sick about how you used the very same fingers to grab the dancers' chin to grab mine."

"Ah, I see that you're bothered by that dancer. I might as well

explain that it was all just for show." Earl chuckled.

"What about the lipstick on your collar? Was that just for show as well?"

Adina had told herself not to care about this, but in times like this, she could not help but ask such a childish question. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
