NovelEnglishChapter 615
“Daddy, I want some cotton candy.”
Melody‘s cute voice broke through the strange atmosphere.
Earl looked down and scooped the little girl into his arms.” Come on, let‘s go get some cotton candy.”
Adina‘s gaze was unreadable. “Don‘t you care about Earley? Why aren‘t you saddened by his death?”
“He‘s in a better place, why should I be sad about that?” Catherine stared at the back of Earl‘s figure, a
smile slowly forming on her lips. “Mr. Winters seems to enjoy being a father.”
Adina smiled coolly. “A father‘s love is innate.”
Catherine suppressed a sneer. “A father‘s love may be innate, but that‘s not the same for the love
between a man and a woman. Mr. Winters hasn‘t spared you a single glance during the whole time I‘ve
been here.”
Adina‘s expression turned to ice.
If she had been doubtful then, she was absolutely certain at this point that there was something
between Catherine and Duke.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut when they met at the bar that day, things got so hostile between them that they were almost at
each other’s throats. How could they have a spark between each other?
The Catherine of that day was even arrogant towards Duke, acting holier–than–thou while spitting
words full of
condemnation.
But just a few moments ago, when Catherine spoke she would look at Duke first, as though asking him
if she had said the right things...
It was like watching a superior and a subordinate.
Adina narrowed her eyes, her gaze focused solely on Catherine.
“You don‘t have to give me such a look, Ms. Daugherty, I‘m only sympathizing with you.” Catherine
fiddled with her nails as she spoke. “It hasn‘t even been a month since you were married and already
the internet is buzzing about how your marriage has soured, Mr. Winters even lost his wedding ring. I
thought it was nothing at first, but Mr. Winters hasn‘t looked at you even once since earlier, it‘s clear
that his feelings have changed. If I were you, Ms. Daugherty, I‘d file for a divorce rather than latch on to
him for his status...”
“Silence!”
When Earl had finished buying the cotton candy, he turned
around and overheard everything Catherine had said.
There were fiery sparks in his eyes as he said slowly, “Get out of here.”
Catherine never thought that he would return so quickly. She shrank away in fright and spoke with
some difficulty. “I was only joking with Ms. Daugherty, why are you being so serious, I didn‘t mean
anything by it...”
“Leave!”
There was hostility in Earl‘s voice.
Catherine looked at him just like how she did the first time they met.
At that time, this man had suddenly appeared before her, his body injured all over. When she went over
to ask what had happened, he had roared at her to leave him alone.
In the few encounters she had with him, Catherine would always end up hurt by his hostility.
But she must be some kind of masochist, because the more he yelled at her, the more she fell

“Okay, I‘ll go.” Tears fell from Catherine‘s face. “Don‘t be angry, I won‘t do it again.”
She wiped her tears as she said this, and after taking one longing look at the man, she finally turned
and left.
Earl lowered his eyes sullenly and pinched the space between his brows hard.
Adina watched the children playing in the distance and said softly, “The lipstick mark on your collar that
day, was it Catherine‘s?”
Earl‘s hand stiffened, and he blurted out, “No.”
“You don‘t have to lie to me, it‘s quite obvious.” Adina chuckled. “ Today‘s encounter wasn‘t a
coincidence. She had this planned for some time, hoping that I would divorce you.”
“You‘re imagining things.” Earl frowned. “I‘m not close to her at all.”
“Regardless, I only want to know: how far have you
r nave you gone with her?”
Adina‘s smile never changed.
If they had not advanced to third base, she could still convince herself that she would try harder for
their marriage.
