Mr. Brown saw that the expression on luis face was icy. His eyes were stone cold. His thin lips were
livlity pursed. A sullen aura surrounded him, but at the same time, Mr. Browni Caughita hint of
helplessness on his face,
Helplessness?
So, Master did not know what happened either?
Or he knew what happened, but he just did not know how to resolve it? Mr. Brown scratched his chin
and sighed with great concern.
When it came to making up with a woman, he knew nothing about it either. Otherwise, he would not
have been single for decades. “Buzz buzz.”
Just then, Duke’s phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID, Trent.
It was always about drinking and having fun when this guy called. He was about to hang up the call
when his finger suddenly paused.
Trent Sunderland, the second son of the Sunderland family, the famous playboy in Sea City. He got a
new girlfriend every three days. When it came to understanding women, no one in the circle could
outmatch him.
Duke pressed the answer button and walked toward the door.
Thirty minutes later, when Duke arrived at Rock bar, Trent and Eilam were already drinking,
“Duke, it’s a rarity that you would grace us with your presence today.”
Trent poured a glass of wine and handed it over.
Duke took the glass and sat on the couch.
With a sullen expression, he lifted the glass and finished the wine in it. Then he handed the empty
glass over and gestured for Trent to fill it up. “What has gotten to you? You are actually going all out?”
Trent immediately filled his glass and leaned closer to him. “I see that there is a dark line of fate
running down between your brows, while your cheeks are pink. This is a typical face of someone who
is troubled with love. You didn’t come here to get drunk just because you’re suffering from relationship
trouble, did
you?”
Duke gave him a look. “Shut up.” “Come on, we’re buddies. We can tell each other everything.” Trent
sat down next to him and put his arm around his shoulder. He lowered his voice and said, “Let me
guess. My friend, is it about Adina again?”
When Eilam heard Adina’s name, he sat closer to them as well. “Duke, I read the technical core report
of the project sent by Ms. Daugherty. I’ın telling you, it was impressive. Everyone in Walker
Corporation’s technical department was shocked, especially with the new technical
programming formula she came up with. It’s freaking awesome!” Eilam continued to ramble
compliments about her. Duke somehow felt a little proud. The cold expression on his face faded
significantly. (Tsk!” Trent stared at him. “It’s really because of Adina, that woman. Your very demeanor
is actually being controlled by a woman, Mr. Winters. Tell me now, are you just fooling around with her
or are you serious about her?”
Duke gripped his glass and didn’t really know how to answer.
Fooling around with her?
Or serious about her?
He had never even thought about it.
He just could not help but want to get closer to the woman. It was like he was being pulled by a
mysterious force.
“Darn it! This is bad! You have been poisoned!” Trent observed his expression. “You’re actually starting
to think about this seriously, which means you’re not just fooling around! Duke, Adina is someone who
has given birth. You must nip that kind of thought in the bud!” Duke glanced over coldly. “I have two
sons, too.”
Trent put his hands up to give in. “Fine. You guys are not much different. If you both have feelings for
each other, then you deserve to be with each other.”
“But…” He leaned closer. “Since you guys are so cut out for each other, what exactly is bothering you
tonight, then?”
Duke took a sip of wine and said in a low voice, “I told her about George and Harold’s mother. She
suddenly started to get angry. No matter how I explained it, she just wouldn’t listen. Tell me, why is
that?”
