Duke changed his shoes at the entrance before he walked toward Adina.He wrapped his arms around
her slender waist while he rested his forehead on her forehead. The two of them looked into each
other‘s eyes with strong affection.
“Daddy, don‘t kiss Mommy.” Harold covered his eyes.“ The four of us are still here. Please behave
yourselves.”
Adina blushed and pushed the man away. “Yes, please watch what you do.”
The children were embarrassed, and the servants also hesitated to look over from afar.
“Let‘s go!” George cleared his throat and said, “Leave the vegetable picking to Daddy. Let‘s go and
play!”
They were fed up with seeing them being so lovey-dovey every day!
The kids put the work aside and went to the living room to play. Adina‘s face turned red as she stuffed
the basket of vegetables into Duke‘s arms. “Sort out the vegetables.”
Then, she turned around and entered the kitchen to continue her work.
Duke smiled and chuckled.
He picked the vegetables at the dining table. When he raised his head, he could see the figure who
was working in the kitchen. The atmosphere of being in a loving family melted his heart.
Perhaps such peace and happiness were what people pursued in their lives. And he was very lucky to
have such a perfect family.
“Ah!”
A scream suddenly came from the kitchen.
Duke threw the vegetables and rushed in. He noticed that Adina‘s index finger was bleeding. She must
have accidentally cut it when she was cutting the vegetables.
Without a second thought, he put her delicate finger in his mouth and gently sucked on it.
Adina just felt a little pain in her index finger because of the suction. Perhaps, the artery of the fingers
was connected to the heart. Even her heart twitched a little.
Some fractured scenes flashed through her mind. Isabelle‘s ferocious smile, that knife that cut her face,
the massive amount of blood, the stinging pain in her face, and Isabelle who died terribly from a shot in
the head… Her expression changed, and she immediately pushed Duke away. “Can‘t you be gentle? It
hurts!”
Duke did not expect to be pushed away. He quickly apologized , “Sorry, Addy. I‘ll go and get the
medical kit first.”
He quickly went to the living room to get some disinfectant and bandages before he returned. The
moment he poured the disinfectant on Adina‘s index finger, she suddenly screamed out of control.
“Don‘t touch me, Duke Winters! It hurts!”
Her voice was uncontrollably sharp, piercing Duke‘s ears.
Duke raised his head and saw that Adina‘s expression was very abnormal. Her indifferent eyes were
filled with ruthlessness.
It was an emotion that he had never seen in Addy‘s eyes.
Maybe he had really used too much strength.
“I‘m sorry, Addy. It’s my fault. I‘ll be gentler this time!”
Just as Duke was about to continue the disinfection, Adina instantly moved her finger away. “No!” She
sounded extremely cold.
Even though her finger was still bleeding, she turned around and rushed out of the kitchen. She quickly
went upstairs and slammed the door with a loud thud.
“Daddy, what happened?”
“Why did Mommy suddenly go upstairs?”
“I think Mommy’s angry. Daddy, what did you do to
make Mommy so mad?”
“Daddy, why are you still standing there? Go and apologize to Mommy!”
The four kids came over and kept babbling. Duke put the medical kit aside and frowned deeply. His
eyes revealed that he was upset.
He did not know why Addy would get angry either.
Even if he had accidentally hurt her, she did not have to be this furious.
