    Chapter 296


    The soft fragrance of Adina drifted away and left him. All of sudden, Duke felt lost, and his arms felt


    empty.


    He raised his hand and said, “And the hand, too.”


    He stretched out his right hand. Adina lowered her gaze. “Mr. Winters, you should apply the ointment


    yourself. I have to prepare for dinner…”


    She turned, looking flustered, picked up a knife and started randomly chopping the vegetables.


    When Duke saw her expression, the corner of his lips lifted, and he let out a chuckle.


    ‘It turns out that beneath her aloof and withdrawn personality is a mature and unapproachable soul.


    “This is my first time seeing this type of woman. She’s so flustered and at a loss…’


    Adina heard his chuckle.


    ‘The noise of the cooker hood is ring, and I’m chopping the vegetables loudly. Why can I still hear


    his soft chuckle?’


    Adina was annoyed by her gaffe.


    She suppressed the inexplicable emotions in her heart and said calmly, “Mr. Winters, thanks for


    introducing me to Mr. Watson. He’s really amazing.”


    She changed the topic and finally calmed down, shaking off her fluster.


    “I’ve seen Mr. Watson on the TV show before. He was amazing on that show. I always thought it was


    only good camerawork and directing, but after chatting with Mr. Watson face to face, I found out that


    the TV did him injustice…”


    Duke slowly burrowed his eyebrows.


    ‘How am I supposed to be okay with a womanplimenting another man in front of me?!’


    He said coldly, “Heh, Brenden is only good at talking. He’s just average in other aspects.”


    It was obvious that he was low-key mocking Brenden.


    Adina took a nce at him, “Isn’t Mr. Watson used to be your ssmate? Why do I have a feeling that


    you’re not really fond of him?”


    “Back when we were studying abroad, he shamelessly lived in my house for two years. I just couldn’t


    get rid of him,” Duke said coldly as he pursed his lips. It was not in his nature to badmouth others in


    their absence, but when Adina was giving Brendan such high praise, he just could not help it. He knew


    that he was being childish, but he could not seem to control himself. Adina had seen news about


    Brenden. She said as she chopped the vegetables, “Mr. Watson sure


    knows how to adapt to situations. That’s how he got himself a ce to stay. No wonder he became so


    sessful after he graduated.”


    Duke was speechless.


    ‘Is she praising me for letting Brenden stay in my house for two years? ‘What great man yields what?’


    “Mr. Winters, excuse me. I’m going to stir-fry the vegetables. Step aside if you don’t want to get scalded


    by hot oil.”


    Adina said, ordering him to get out of the kitchen. Duke pursed his thin lips, and took a step back.


    The moment the oil hit the pan, a sizzling sound was heard. Duke instinctively wanted to stand in front


    of Adina.


    However, he saw her continue to put the onion, ginger, and garlic in the pan to sauté them until they


    were fragrant. The oil sshed all over the ce, but she was able to avoid them perfectly…


    Duke watched as Adina cooked. In just an hour, six different dishes were served.

    Her hair still looked neat, looking just as how she entered the kitchen.


    “Alright, let’s eat.” Adina took off her apron and smiled. “I’ve made some buffalo wings. Hal will


    definitely love it.”


    Duke approached her and helped her to serve the six dishes and a soup. The children sat at the table


    obediently. “Wow, Auntie Adina is amazing!” Harold squealed with delight. “I’ll eat three rounds of food


    today!” ‘Whenever Auntie Adinaes over and cooks dinner for us, I sure am the happiest kid in the


    world!
