NovelEnglishChapter 644
He had never seen women fight each other out of jealousy, and he was really shocked by
Adina‘s explosive power that night.
She just threw out several slaps continuously, and he was not even able to
react. Naturally, he ended up being splashed with two glasses of red wine too.
When Earl recalled that incident, he felt guilty for some reason.
Nothing had happened between him and Catherine , but Adina did see that inappropriate scene.
“I‘m sure,” Adina said in a serious manner. “I just want to get better quickly. I want to live like a normal p
erson who no longer has nightmares, no longer worries about losing
anything, and no longer feels paranoid. Duke, help me…”
Earl pursed his lips. “Okay, I‘ll contact Catherine and ask her if she has time.”

She leaned on the bedside while various complex thoughts crossed her mind.
She had been thinking and scheming all this time. She was truly exhausted.
Buzz!
Her phone suddenly vibrated.
She took a peek and found that it was a video call from the kids.
The gloominess on her face instantly disappeared. She went to the bathroom and picked up the call.
“Mommy, we‘re here!” She heard Harold‘s voice first. “Mommy. do you see it? I‘m in the room that you
used to sleep in!”
Melody squeezed herself into the camera‘s frame with a plush pink toy. “Mommy, I want to bring this Ho
ney Bunny home.”
Adina smiled. “Okay, you take care of it first. I‘ll bring you home together when the time comes.”
“Mommy, don‘t worry. We‘re all fine,” Alden said obediently.” Uncle Flint‘s going to take us out for lunch
later. Mommy, where are you?”
The boy had a sharp gaze. He spotted the unfamiliar background in the video and noticed that
his mommy looked haggard. “Mommy, your dark circles are really heavy. Your hair‘s messy too. Did yo
u just wake up?”
“Yeah, I woke up in the office just now.” Adina smiled helplessly. “There was too much work in the comp
any, so I stayed overnight in the office. I
have to go and wash up now. All of you have to listen to Uncle Flint, okay? You mustn‘t be naughty.”
“Yes, Mommy!” the children answered uniformly.

softly said, “Addy, you look pretty rough. What happened?”
“I‘ll tell you
once all of this is over.” Adina forced a smile and said, “You‘re doing me a great favor by helping me to l
ook after and protect the children. Thank you.”
“Hey, there‘s no need for thanks between us. I‘ll take the kids out for lunch first. Talk to you later.”
After Adina hung up, her smile instantly disappeared.
There would be an uphill battle to fight next.
She glanced at her haggard and weak reflection in the mirror. Then, she walked out and lay on the bed
after she messed up her hair even more.
Earl came in very soon. “Catherine said she could spare a few hours tonight. What do you think?”
“Sure.” Adina seemed to mock herself. “Others need to make an appointment and queue up for medical
treatment, so it‘s great that I can receive treatment in advance. Thank you, Duke.”
