She was startled, and she jumped out of the man’s hold before nervously asking, “Do you feel
uncomfortable?”
“The back of my head hurts a little.” Duke put his palm against his temple and said, “The doctor
prescribed some medicine for me. Can you please bring me two pills from the drawer on the left?”
Adina hurriedly went to grab the medicine and poured him a glass of warm water.
“I think it’s better for you to stay in the hospital and be monitored for a few days,” she said after waiting
for Duke to take the medication.
Duke lay on the bed. His raven eyes were trained at the woman, and he softly said, “Our wedding is
just around the corner. It’s the most important day of our lives, so how could I wait for the day to come
while lying in a hospital bed? I will do the necessary preparations on my own.”
“Other than the fitting for the groom’s dress suit, there’s nothing else you have to prepare on your own.”
Adina strongly disagreed.
He already faced so many troubles on the first day of being discharged from the hospital. She was
really worried that something would happen.
“I’m fine, don’t worry.” Duke pulled her into his arms and said,”
Accompany me to the fitting tomorrow, please?”
Adina nodded lightly.
That night, the stars were shining gently, and their love was deep.
The next morning, Adina was awakened by the knocking and shouting of their children outside the
door.
How could he be sleeping so soundly with all the commotion outside?’ She wondered as she glanced
at the man lying beside her.
But since he had a headache the night before, it made sense for him to sleep a little longer.
She got out of the bed carefully, changed her clothes, and finally opened the bedroom door and walked
out. “Shh, keep it down a little. Your Daddy is still sleeping.”
The kids’ eyes were like searchlights, scanning every inch of Adina from head to toe.
“Mommy, you have some red marks on your neck. Did Daddy pinch you?” Harold asked angrily with
rage-filled eyes.
Adina pulled her collar up right away and mentally cursed at Duke.
She told him many times last night not to leave any marks on her body, but the man simply refused to
listen to her and kept kissing her neck again and again.
Look! The children could clearly see the love bites. Great.
“It has nothing to do with your Daddy…” Adina had never felt so embarrassed in her life. “It was the
mosquitoes. Yes, I was bitten by mosquitoes. There were a lot of them in the room,” she stuttered as
she offered an explanation.
Alden narrowed his eyes.
He had already been living with his mother for four years, so he knew that she was lying with just one
glance.
But why would Mommy lie?
He pursed his lips and remained silent.
“I’m hungry. Come, let’s go eat breakfast!” Adina immediately changed the topic and led the four
children to the dining hall.
When she noticed the food on the dining table, she was dumbfounded.
There were asparagus soup, maca soup, artichoke soup, and all kinds of other food classed as
aphrodisiacs on the table.
