Chapter 957
Sure enough, it was because Adina had not eaten anything for the whole day.
She stood up weakly. “I must‘ve gotten it last night. I‘ll feel sick whenever I eat anything...” Duke carried her to the couch in the living room. “Sit here. I‘ll cook you some oatmeal.” “It‘s alright. I don‘t have an appetite.” Adina smiled. “Duke, go accompany Hal. I want to be alone.”
“I‘ll accompany you. I will neither say anything nor bother you. Don‘t chase me away.”
Duke sat in front of her. There was a hint of pain in his gaze. ‘Whenever I‘m in pain, he‘s in pain too.
‘I owe him so much...‘
She lowered her gaze. “Duke, I‘m going out for a walk. I don‘t want to stay here.” “I‘ll go with you.”
He stood up. He put on his coat, then helped Adina put on her down jacket. “Let‘s go.”
“Duke, I want to go out alone. Please...” She bit her lower lip. “I want to be alone. I want to be by myself...”
“You can walk in front, and I‘ll trail behind you, then. I won‘t make a sound.” He said softly. That aloof and decisive Mr. Winters was humbled into the dust. “Duke, please don‘t act like this. I‘ll suffocate...” She tugged on her collar. “Once I‘ve calmed down, I‘ll come home. Let me take a walk alone, okay?”
Adina wanted to find a place where no one was around. She wanted to be alone in silence.
‘I need to think about what I should do next…’
She tiptoed and gave him a peck on his lips. “Duke, thank you for putting up with me. Once I‘ve cleared my mind, I‘ll come home.” She turned and walked out and pushed the front door open. As winter came to an end and spring was about to start, the night was chilly. The night breeze blew in when she opened the front door, blowing through her black long hair.
