Chapter 337
Duke held Adina’s hand tightly, and she was unable to move away.
She gritted her teeth and said, “You said that we just needed to act like a couple in front of your mother. You’re going against the agreement!”
Duke’s expression was indifferent. “Harold and Mel want us to be together. Do you want to disappoint them?”
Adina turned around and looked over. She saw Harold and Melody standing together and talking. The children’s eyes were as bright as the lights in the night sky.
Her heart melted for some reason.
Her initial intention of letting Duke be her boyfriend was also for the children’s sake.
“Uncle Duke, what are you doing?”
Alden walked over, and his face was full of anger. He pushed Duke away with great strength. “Let go of my mom!”
Duke did not want to fight a child, so he released Adina’s hand.
“Mom, is he harassing you?” Alden bit his bottom lip and looked mature as well as headstrong, which did not fit his age.
“No, Uncle Duke didn’t harass me.” Adina stroked his head.
“I saw him dragging your hand by force, Mom. You couldn’t move out of his grip after you struggled twice.” Alden sounded gloomy. He was still too young, and he could only watch when others mistreated his mother.
“No, that’s really not what happened.” Adina tried to explain, “I was just having fun with Uncle Duke.”
Alden widened his black eyes. He did not understand why this was considered fun when Duke was clearly forcing his mom to do something she did not like.
Before he could ask again, Duke walked over again and put his hand on Adina’s shoulder.
Adina’s body froze.
She suddenly regretted suggesting that this man be her boyfriend.
