Chapter 773
Upon seeing Duke’s safe return, Adina heaved a sigh of relief.She had prepared dinner earlier.She said with a smile, "Don’t pester your daddy.Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
There were twelve different dishes on the big dining table.
The children, Pete, and Karl were enjoying their dinner to the fullest.
Flint, on the other hand, seemed to have a complicated expression and was eating absent-mindedly.
After they were done eating, Pete and Karl played games.
Flint forced out a smile and said, "Come, let me take you out to play.Who knows, we might not have the chance to do it anymore."
Everyone else left, while Adina and Duke were the only ones left in the dining hall.
"What happened?" Adina asked with a sense of trepidation.
Half an hour ago, Duke had sent her a message, saying that if he did not come back by tonight, she would need to take her children back to Sea City.She knew that something had happened, but she was not sure what it was.
With the consecutive explosions happening, she became even more nervous.
Duke put down his fork and held her hands as he said, "Queen Mavice invited me for a grand banquet and I encountered a little trouble.But now, that trouble has been resolved."
"Besides..." He paused.
"Blake has just sent me a message, saying that he has caught Earl. Do you want to see him for one last time?"
Adina was stunned.
"Seriously?"
She was about to tell Duke about the threatening message Earl had sent her last night.
"I'll just meet him briefly, then."
Adina pursed her lips.
"What are you going to do with him?"
"I still can’t figure out what kind of grudge I have with him." Duke nodded.
