Adina thought the wind had pushed the door shut. But when she saw Duke’s dark expression, she
instantly came to a realization.
She quickly walked to the door and pulled the doorknob. Sure enough, the door was locked from the
outside.
“Dad, Mommy, you can sleep together tonight!”
They could hear Harold’s mischievous laughter outside.
Adina pursed her lips. “Hal, you’re a good boy. Open the door now.”
“I can’t hear anything. Something seems to be wrong with my ears. George, help me clean my ears,”
Harold said as he ran away.
Soon, it became silent outside the room.
Adina felt her head ache. Harold was truly a mischievous boy.
Just as she was about to call Alden to open the door, Duke suddenly held her hand.
Then, she heard his low and husky voice. “If we don’t fulfill Harold’s wish this time, he’ll try to put us in
the same room again in the future. Instead of guarding against his unexpected actions, we should just
do what he
wants.”
Adina narrowed her eyes. “Why do I feel like you’re desperate to be in the same room as me?”
“Cough!”
Duke covered his lips with his fist and coughed unnaturally.
He said, “You’re the mother of my children, so I’ll respect you. Don’t worry. Even though we’re in the
same room, I won’t do anything to you.”
Adina pursed her pink lips.
Since they first met, this man had expressed a strong interest in her body more than once.
She really wanted to know whether this man genuinely liked her or just her body.
She had to admit that he was a charming man.
He had on a suit at the moment, and the white shirt made his stern expression slightly gentler. His
features looked exquisite and glowed under the chandelier too.
His face alone was sufficient to make anyone fall for him.
What he had recently done also made her like him more.
If the same continued, she would agree to marry into the Winters family one day.
Adina’s long lashes drooped.
If this man’s feelings for her surpassed his interest in her body, perhaps she could consider the first
option.
“If you’re afraid , I’ll call Mr. Brown and get him to open the door.”
Duke took out his phone.
Adina raised her head and indifferently said, “You’re right. Even if we successfully get out this time, the
same thing will happen over and over again. We should just do what the kids want. Sleeping here for a
night is nothing. You can take the bed. I’ll sleep on the couch.”
She bent down and started making the bed. After she was done, she took out another blanket and put
it on the couch.
While it was a bedroom, the couch inside was still big enough to let her, a 1.65-meter-tall woman, lie
down and sleep for the night.
Right after she made the couch, Duke sat on it and nonchalantly said, “You can take the bed. I’ll take
the couch.”
Adina frowned. “But you’re so tall. This couch can’t accommodate you.”
“It’s not a problem.” Duke crossed his legs and lay on the couch. He curled his lips slightly. “Isn’t that all
I have to do?”
Adina shrugged. “Okay, don’t blame me if you wake up with your back hurting tomorrow morning.”
She turned around and headed to the washroom, but she realized that she did not have clothes to
change into.
