Pitter-patter!
The sounds of water hitting the floor came from the bathroom.
Adina stroked her hair. Did that man not just take a shower? Why was he taking another shower?
She turned around and looked at the bathroom’s frosted glass. There was no hot water vapor, which
meant he was taking a cold shower.
It was autumn, so it was freezing. Yet, he was showering with cold water?
Something seemed to register, and Adina lowered her head. When she realized that she was wearing
the man’s shirt, she subconsciously chuckled in resignation.
Did she not want to test the man? It looked like she had her result.
He would rather take a cold shower than cross the boundary.
It meant he had started to learn how to respect her.
Adina buttoned up the shirt’s first button before she pulled the blanket over and lay in bed.
The situation was not conducive for them to talk about
the children. They should talk about it again next time.
The moment she lay on the bed, she quickly fell asleep.
By the time Duke came out of the bathroom , Adina was already sleeping One of her fair, long legs was
exposed outside the blanket. Duke walked over and gently covered it with the blanket.
He dared not look at Adina again. He was really afraid that he would have to take a third shower. 1 He
lay down on the couch and had difficulty falling asleep.
Adina, on the other hand, slept well.
The next day, she stretched her body and got up. She habitually got out of bed and put on her slippers,
but she realized that the slippers were gray and huge.
She was dumbfounded for a while. It was not until she turned around and looked at the unfamiliar
scenery that she recalled where she was.
She instantly turned back and looked at the couch. Duke was already gone, and the blanket on the
couch was also neatly folded.
Meanwhile, a whole set of clothes had been placed by the bed. They included shirts and inner wear.
Adina laid the clothes out. She cast a glance at the size, and it was correct.
Her gaze was a little conflicted. After she entered the bathroom, got ready, and changed her clothes,
she put on the slippers and finally left for downstairs.
As soon as she pulled open the door, she saw an elegantly – and decently-dressed woman in front of
her.
Adina was completely stunned.
She could pretend to be calm and indifferent in front of Duke, but when she faced Mrs. Winters, she did
not know how to react.
She had stepped out of Duke’s bedroom. Would Mrs. Winters think she..
“Addy, just tell Mr. Brown what you want to eat for breakfast.” Mrs. Winters had a gentle gaze. “Make
yourself at home. Don’t be shy.”
“Thank you, Mrs. Winters,” Adina replied awkwardly.
“Why are you still calling me ‘Mrs. Winters’? Just call me Aunt Mabel.” Mrs. Winters chuckled. “I still
have something to do today. I’ll treat you to some tea tomorrow.”
As she spoke, she smoothed out her collar and elegantly walked downstairs. Then, she left after she
changed her shoes.
Adina was very confused.
Mrs. Winters must have thought something had happened between Duke and her.
No, she and Duke had slept together, otherwise, how could the four children have existed?
Mrs. Winters’ attitude was really… out of her expectation.
She originally thought that Mrs. Winters would criticize her for being shameless and hypocritical…
Forget it. She was better off not caring about it.
