Chapter 789
Adina was dumbfounded.She finally understood why Duke hated Earl so much and why he had to drive Earl out of Sea City.
If not for Earl, his father would not have died.
Even if his father died, he should not have had to carry such a stigma.
"He’s a typical sociopath.Even after my father sacrificed his life for him, he did not change in the slightest."
Duke slowly said, "He constantly believes that the Winters family mistreated him and that he lives a painful life because of my existence in this world.After our father died, he got triggered and plotted numerous assassinations.I was lucky to escape his hands with my life intact."
Adina hugged him tightly.
"People like him should be punished in prison rather than continue to harm others outside."
Duke hugged her slim waist with a backhand and said softly, "For the time being, I can’t remember anything that happened after I turned fifteen, and I have no idea why I didn’t put him in jail.Perhaps it had something to do with my mother.She felt the Winters family owed Earl, so she should have stopped me from doing so."
Adina sighed.
"What if Mrs.Winters forces you to release Earl next? What will you do?"
"It is impossible to let him go."
Duke stared at her beautiful face.
"If he hadn’t had dirty thoughts about you, perhaps I could have given him another chance, but he should never have laid a hand on you.I’m very grateful that you recognized me at first glance, and I also appreciate that you didn’t lose hope in me.Without you, I would still be in a risky situation."
"Didn’t we agree not to thank me anymore?"
Adina deliberately acted pouty and grabbed his collar.
As soon as her hand grabbed his collar, she felt the deep lust in Duke’s eyes.She quickly let go of her grip.
"I-I’ll go see the children."
"It's quiet outside.The children should be sleeping by now." Duke’s voice became hoarse.
"Addy, let me make up for the nuptial night with you, okay?"
"I did not ask for it..."
Adina glared at him angrily.But this glance did nothing to deter him.
