Chapter 1012
Adeena walked slowly into the banquet hall with a goblet in her hand as she turned and headed toward the balcony. After everyone was no longer paying attention to her, she walked to the lounge through the door at the side. This was an upper–class lounge, and the doorway was empty.
Duke, who was sitting on the couch, looked at her. “I thought you weren‘t coming.”
“Mr. Winters, you‘re the most attractive person in town. I don‘t want to be the public enemy of all women in Sea City.” Adeena walked over and sat down at the further edge of the couch. “Speak up if you have something to say. I‘m all ears.”
Duke swirled his drink and looked at her with a fervor gaze. “You don‘t seem to be afraid of me at all.”
“You‘re similar to everyone else. You have a pair of eyes and a mouth. Why should I be afraid of you?” She looked calm. “If you don’t have anything to say, I shall excuse myself for now.”
Duke sighed in his heart.
Do you know what‘s the furthest distance in life?
‘It‘s when you‘re here with me, but you neither know how much I love you nor how much you used to love me.‘
“Let‘s have a cup of coffee before you go.”
He snapped his fingers.
The lounge door suddenly opened, and a girl in a pink dress emerged with coffees in her hand.
Adeena was stunned.
‘Isn‘t this the talented little pianist that I met in Cloud City the other day?
‘She kept calling me Mommy...
‘Why is she here...?‘ Her eyes shifted back and forth between Duke and the little girl, and she suddenly understood.
This little girl‘s name is Melody Winters. She‘s Mr. Winters‘ daughter. They look similar to each other.
