Aunt Mandy was so angry that she was breathing heavily. Mabel put down her teacup. “Forget you,
even 1, as the mother-in-law, never interfere with Addy's personal matters."
"You're her mother-in-law, and she's your daughter-in law.How can she be so arrogant to the elderly?"
Aunt Mandy lowered her voice and angrily said, "When Duke wasn't married, I showed you my
niece.She’s such an obedient girl.If she married Duke, she would be great at taking care of her
husband and serving her mother-in law.She would not disrespect her mother-in-law like Adina." Mabel
seemed indifferent, but her thoughts were completely different from Mandy's.She and Duke were in a
tough situation.
They were biological mother and son, but they had not been able to talk to each other at all for a week.
But Addy, the middle person, never thought of mediating things.
If it were Mandy's niece, the situation would not have become so terrible.
She knew that Addy had not done anything wrong, but she still hoped that Addy could have done more.
While Aunt Mandy was complaining downstairs, her babbling inevitably reached the master bedroom.
Adina knew that Aunt Mandy was complaining about her, but she could not hear what was being said
exactly.
She nestled in Duke's arms while she softly asked, “Duke, did I go too far by talking to Aunt Mandy like
that?”
“You were right.” Duke held her slim waist.
“I know Aunt Mandy’s character.If you make it sound more serious, she won't dare gossip again.” Adina
wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "What if I get into a fight with your mom one day?"
Duke could choose her without hesitation when it came to Aunt Mandy and his wife.
Would he still be on her side if it was between his mother and her? “I’ve told you before that you’re
always right.” Duke leaned down and gave her a kiss on the lips.
"No matter what happens, I'll always stand by your side." Adina’s heart was full of tenderness.
She gave the man a sweet and affectionate kiss in return.She sighed and said, "Duke, something's
wrong with your mom.I told you before that you should talk with your mom more when you have
time.Maybe you can ease her worries." Duke's expression darkened slightly.
“My mom’s worry is Earl.As long as I spare Earl, she won't be worried anymore.But it’s impossible to
spare him.My mom will need to live with her worries for the rest of her life.” Adina remained silent
without answering him.
She had not experienced everything that Duke had, so it was not her place to ask him to forgive Mabel.
In fact, she could not forgive Mabel either.
Perhaps time would erase everything, so she should just leave these grudges and entanglements to
time.
"Okay, let's not think about it." Adina raised her head and kissed Duke’s chin.
Duke rolled over and pinned her down.
“May I?” he asked softly.
Adina snorted.
“If I say no, will you leave me be?” Duke chuckled before he lowered his head and kissed her red
lips.Adina wrapped her arms around his neck and closed her eyes slightly while they enjoyed the
intimate moment.Right then, a voice that did not belong to her suddenly appeared in her mind.
