NovelEnglishChapter 581
Right after Mdm. Xavier posed the question, Adina‘s eyes turned
red.
She sniffled and held back the sorrow that suddenly flooded her being. She looked down and said, “We
didn‘t have a fight.”
The two of them did not even talk. How could they fight?
“Addy, you’re disappointed because Duke didn‘t come back with you, right?” Mdm. Xavier patted the ba
ck of Adina‘s hand and said, “I‘ve seen the news. On your wedding day, something happened to the Wi
nters Cemetery. Someone intentionally set it on fire. He needs to spend some time investigating it. Besi
des, due to the wedding, his work has been put on
hold. Now that the wedding is over, he naturally has to put in the time to catch up on his work. He went
on this trip so that he can be with you in the future. Don‘t get emotional. Just wait for him to return from
his business trip.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAdina continued to look down without answering.
She was not an inconsiderate woman. She would not ask her husband to stop
working and just keep her company either.
Her grievance was due to the fact
that Duke had seemingly changed. He was completely different before and after the wedding.
As much as he cherished and cared for her before the wedding, that was
how indifferent and distant he was toward her following their matrimony.
He would not even do that to a stranger, right?
“Addy, I can tell that Duke really loves you.” Mdm. Xavier resumed. “He‘s done so much for
you. Do you still doubt his love for you?”
Adina‘s fingers froze.
She recalled every scene from the time they first met.
They did not know each other for a long time, but they had been through a lot.
This man was even willing to risk his life for her, but she was doubting his love for her.
Even if he might change his mind one day, he could not have stopped loving her in one night.
Either she was overthinking it or Duke had neglected her for something more important.
“I got it, Grandma.” Adina smiled faintly and said, “Duke and I are still very close. Don‘t worry about us.”
Mdm. Xavier smiled. as well. “It‘s great that you‘ve figured
it out. Since it‘s no longer out of your grasp, take the kids home and call Duke. The two of you should ta
lk.”
Adina nodded.
She walked outside and saw that the four children were chasing each other.
It was Alden‘s turn to chase the others around. He ran
across the yard like a prancing white horse and instantly grabbed
Harold by the back of his collar.
“Alden, you‘re too fast. I wasn’t ready. Let‘s start over!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHarold started to act shamelessly, and Alden loosened his fingers. “I‘ll let you do it again.”
Harold immediately tried to run away. But just as he
started to move, his collar was grabbed once again.
He pouted unhappily. “This isn‘t fun. This isn‘t fun at all! Alden, you‘re too quick. You can‘t join this gam
e!”
Alden scoffed. “You don‘t have any say now. It‘s your turn to catch us!”
He turned around and ran. After he ran to a safe distance, he made a face at
Harold. “Hal, come and catch me. Let‘s see if you can catch me!”
His smile was dazzling under the evening sun.
Adina broke into a genuine smile too.
Alden had finally become a carefree kid. He could play happily like a normal child at long last.
It should be something that gave her the greatest joy during this time.
“Babies, it‘s time to go home.”
