    Chapter 607


    Mrs. Winters took a deep breath while suppressing the constricting and anxious sensation that was


    rapidly breaking out within her chest.


    She walked over to Adina, held her hands, and sighed. “Addy, everybody has two sides. Let‘s take you


    as an example. You‘re determined while working, but you‘re also gentle and patient when the kids are


    around. These twopletely different personalities are still part of you. It‘s the same with Duke. No


    matter what side he shows, it‘s still him, he‘s still my son, your husband, and also the father to your


    children.”


    “I understand, Mom.”


    Adina forced out a smile, but it did not quite reach her eyes.

    She pulled her hands away and said, “Duke is still waiting for me upstairs. I‘ll take my leave now.”


    She took a step, walked into the mansion, and started going up the stairs to the master bedroom.


    Mrs. Winters sped her hands together tightly.


    With trembling lips, she mumbled, “I‘m sorry, Duke. I can only let your brother take care of your wife


    and children since you‘re not here anymore. Duke, I truly don‘t have any other choice. I‘m sorry. I‘m


    sorry...”


    Her words slowly faded away into the night, disappearing into the pitch–ck sky.


    Adina stood in front of the bedroom door and took a moment topose herself before pushing the


    door open.


    Earl emerged from the bathroom just as she entered.


    He was wearing a bathrobe that was hanging loosely on his frame. The tattoos on his chest were partly


    visible under the warm yellow lights.


    He sat down on the bed right away and turned to look at Adina with inexplicable emotions swirling in


    his eyes.


    “Can you get dressed first ?” Adina asked quietly. “I need your help with something.”


    Earl touched his lips as he resisted the urge to smoke while raising his eyebrows and said, “We‘ll talk


    about it tomorrow. It‘s gettingte now, let‘s go to bed early.”


    Adina turned to look for pajamas and said without a change in her expression , “I‘m on my period, and


    I‘ve run out of sanitary pads. Can you help me get some at the mart?”


    Earl‘s eyes immediately darkened.


    After that, he let out a snort.


    No wonder this woman wanted him to stay tonight. She was confident that he could not touch her,


    which was why she had boldly invited him to sleep together.


    He leaned on the bedzily and smirked. “There are so many servants in the house. Just get them to


    buy it for you.”


    Adina looked down and said, “Thest time I had my period, I


    wanted to ask the servants to buy it for me. But you said that it‘s your responsibility, and you don‘t want


    to hand that responsibility over. Why do you want me to ask the servants this time?”


    Earl‘s eyebrows furrowed.


    Did she intend to ask him to make ate–night run to the mart to help her buy sanitary pads?


    He would never do something like this.


    “That wasst time, and I’m afraid it‘s not the case this time. If you don‘t want the servants to go buy it,


    then you can go yourself,” he said coldly.


    He stood up and went to the balcony after saying that.


    Adina could still see him flicking on his lighter and lowering his chin to presumably light a cigarette,


    even though he had his back facing the room.


    She and Duke had not known each other for long, and she was not sure if the man was a smoker, but


    at least, he had never smoked in front of her.


    Adina‘s eyes glistened, and she walked into the bathroom.


    In the bathroom, dirty clothes the man had changed out of earlier were strewn all over the ce. She


    took a nce at the items and walked away.
