NovelEnglishChapter 545
About five chefs stood at the dining hall’s entrance, each with a smile on their faces and teasing looks.
“Cough!” Adina nearly choked to death from her own saliva.
That meant that her and Duke’s ‘activities’ from last night were known to all the mansion’s servants…
Mabel walked over to Adina with a smile and said, “You’re up early, Adina. Have some saffron chicken
stew. It’s nourishing for women and…”
“T-thank you, Mrs. Winters.”
Adina lowered her head and drank her stew, not even daring to look at the people around her.
This morning was the most embarrassing one she ever had in her whole twenty-three years of living.
She wanted to bury herself in a hole.
She felt very frustrated at the thought of Duke still sleeping soundly.
But at that very moment, a well-rehearsed “Good morning, Mr. Duke” echoed in the dining hall in

Adina subconsciously turned around to see Duke enter the dining hall while dressed in a silver suit.
Who could have imagined the tenderness and clinginess of this man in bed last night when he was so
nicely dressed and
sporting his usual cold and stern eyes?
Adina discreetly threw a glare at him.
Duke sat down beside her and gulped down half of the asparagus soup with a straight face.
Adina was at a loss for words.
Why did she think she would be screwed tonight? 1
“Don’t drink too much of that,” she hurriedly said as she
snatched the bowl out of his hands. “You’ll get heaty.”
Duke looked at her with a vague smile and said, “It makes no difference whether I drink that or not.”
Adina’s face turned red due to the extreme double meaning slipped into his statement.
“I want to drink it too.” Harold licked his lips. “Asparagus soup sounds delicious. Mommy, can you get
me a bowl too?”
Adina was speechless.
‘Why would this kid want to drink this?’
Mabel quickly picked Harold up and said, “Asparagus soup is not tasty at all. I’ll take you to get some
ice cream instead, okay?”
“Ice cream!” Mel’s eyes lit up as well while saying, “I want to have it too, Grandma!”
Mabel led the two little rascals who were easier to coax out to the yard.
George and Alden sat at the dining table and quietly ate their shrimp risotto.
After almost finishing his meal, Duke calmly said, “George, bring Alden to the company today to
familiarize him with the operation process.”.
“Didn’t we agree to send the kids to preschool?” Adina frowned disapprovingly.
“There’s no conflict between sending him to school and the company,” Duke drawled. “Keeping Alden

particularly bright kid. Do you see me sending him to the company?”
Harold, who was playing wildly at the yard, sneezed and carried on playing excitedly like a little piglet.
Adina pursed her lips and said, 11 respect your choice, Alden.”
“I can do it, Mommy,” Alden replied obediently. “I will follow George’s lead and learn how to run the
company properly.”
He was not overly concerned about the technical aspects because he was running a hacker studio.
However, he lacked business management experience, so it was the perfect time for him to learn it.
“I will teach Alden well. Don’t worry about it, Mommy.” George nodded.
Adina had no choice but to nod in agreement. “Okay. But don’t be too hard on yourself, Al. You won’t
have to go if you’re not used to it.”
Alden nodded obediently.
After breakfast, George brought Alden to the company, while Mabel brought Harold and Melody to the
playground.
