“Do you know how thrilled I was to discover that the woman from that night five years ago was you?”
The corner of Duke’s lips curled into a smile.
Adina observed the smile on his face and thought the Duke in front of her was no different from a kid.
The smile on his face was pure, and his eyes were filled with sincerity.
She believed every word he said.
“I immediately felt really lucky when I realized I was the father of your children, and that you were the
mother of my children.” Duke looked at her with his dark eyes and continued , “Addy, our fates became
one five years ago, and in the time that has passed, we have missed out on a lot. I don’t ever want to
be separated from you again. I like you, Addy. I love you. I, I…”
He suddenly stopped midway through his sentence.
Adina was feeling even more nervous, and with her breath hitched, she continued to listen to what he
was going to say. However, Duke’s hold on her hand went loose all of a sudden, and his arm fell limply
to the edge of the couch.
Those jet-black eyes fluttered close as well.
Everything had happened too abruptly, and it made Adina think she had been imagining the entire
scene.
“You jerk!” Adina cursed under her breath. Although it was just a confession, he had gotten so drunk
while confessing, and she had actually paid close attention to the whole thing! He was just wasting her
time!
Adina gave him a venomous glare before stomping upstairs while purposefully making her steps
louder.
But Duke was too far gone, and even the loud noise was unable to wake him up.
Adina returned to her room and started removing her makeup, but as she did so, she caught a glimpse
of her apple-red cheeks in the mirror. Her cheeks were flushed and were a bright red color.
She had never seen herself like this.
She was incredibly relieved that Duke was drunk at the moment because otherwise , he would have
seen her in that state.
She felt slightly better after washing her face with cold water.
Adina had long been haunted by the same recurring
nightmare, and each one would include a man. It was the same man who destroyed and tore her to
pieces five years ago.
Over the past few years, she was in agony every time she dreamed of the night from five years ago.
But on that particular night, the person in her dreams was very gentle, and he kissed her lips patiently.
In the dream, they were enjoying themselves and were tangled up in each other…
It was not until a light entered and shone on the man’s face that Adina suddenly jolted awake from the
dream.
She actually had a dream about her and Duke doing the deed…
Oh no, oh no!
She had lost her mind!
When Adina turned to look out the window, the sky was already bright, the autumn sun was flooding in,
and her room looked bright and fresh.”
She rolled out of bed, changed her clothes, and headed downstairs after freshening up.
The living room was surprisingly lively.
Mr. Brown had brought over a lot of breakfast, and the dining table was filled with food. The four kids
sat at the table and were in the midst of having their breakfast, while Mr. Brown was busy tending to
them.
When Mr. Brown saw Adina coming down the stairs, he greeted her with a smile and said, “Good
morning , Ms. Adina. Come have some breakfast.”
When Adina’s gaze landed on the couch, she only saw the neatly folded blanket. The man had already
left.
“Where’s your Daddy?” she asked calmly.
