“Nothing,” Duke said plainly.
“Didn't you say you wanted to drink water? Why aren’t you going downstairs yet?”
“Okay.” Harold turned around and left.
After he took a step, he turned his head around again and said, “Johnny told me that he saw his
parents fighting with each other, and his mother cried after his father beat her up.Johnny was really
scared, so he told our preschool teacher about it.Daddy, don’t you ever mistreat Mommy.If you do, I'll
tell the police instead of my preschool teacher.”
Duke and Adina were speechless…
Adina forced a smile.
"Hal, why would I even fight with your daddy? Silly boy, don’t think about such nonsense.Come on, I'll
bring you downstairs to get some water.After you finish drinking, I'll pour you another glass and place it
on the bedside table so that you don’t have to go downstairs to drink water in the middle of the night.”
After Harold was done, Adina sent him back to his room before returning to the master bedroom.She
locked the door and sneered.
“You didn’t lock the door again.If that happens one more time, I'll ignore you forever." Duke pulled her
into his arms and pinned her down on the bed.
“Don’t worry.There won't be a next time." She felt his body temperature rising, and her face reddened
all of a sudden.
“Harold already barged in once.Why are you still…” Duke did not say anything.
He showed his love for her with his actions.
Adina's mind went blank as a result of his kisses, and her limbs went weak, allowingDuke to take
control of her.
As she began to enjoy the moment, a voice appeared in her mind.
'Push him away! '
”Push him away! The voice sounded harsh and had a great sense of urgency.It continued to ring
throughout Adina’s mind.
“Argh!" she cried out in shock and covered her head.
“Addy, what's wrong?” Duke stopped moving and kissed her on the cheek.
“No…It hurts!” She felt pain in her right cheek and the back of her head, as though someone had
ripped them apart.
"Addy, where did you hurt yourself? Is it here?” Duke touched the scar on her right cheek with his rough
fingers…
“Don’t touch me! Get out!” Adina opened her eyes.
A while ago, her clear eyes were filled with lust, but right now, her gaze was icy cold.
Duke’s face darkened.
Again…
He did not know what to do.He could not let the previous incident happen again.He sat by the bed and
watched her every move closely.
Adina got down from the bed in a frenzied state before walking toward the balcony.She tried to break
the lock with force but failed.
Duke pursed his lips.
He had asked someone to change it to a fingerprint lock during the day.
For the time being, the fingerprint lock could only recognize his fingerprint.He dared not take any
chances on certain things for the second time.
Since Adina could not get to the balcony, she did not make any other moves.She just stood in front of
the window and stared into the night expressionlessly.
