My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 1013

Chapter 1013

Duke was stunned for a moment.

He looked at Adeena, who was in front of him, solemnly and said, “Are you trying to do a background check on me after deciding to cooperate with Winters Corporation ?”

Adeena did not deny it. “The news mentioned your divorce. Is that true?” “It might be true, it might not be.” Duke sounded solemn. “We never officially divorced, but we‘ve been separated for four years. Which do you think it is, then?”

Adeena did not want to ask too many questions about other people‘s marriages.

She pursed her lips and continued, “From what you said, does that mean your daughter has not met her mother for four years?”

Duke looked at her in silence.

He was at a loss, not knowing how to put in words how painful it felt to be separated from his wife for four years.

‘I don‘t want to lie. Every lie I tell her will only keep us further apart. ‘But I can‘t tell her the truth directly, either...’

Duke was lost in his train of thoughts.

Adeena stared at him. When she first met him, his gaze was sharp and cold.

But right now, his gaze was as calm as a lake in a valley, but was also like a magnet drawing her in. She found herself enchanted by the image. Duke slowly approached her and touched her face with his slender fingers.

As his face got closer, Adeena held her breath and her body became tense.

She raised her hands and wanted to push him away, her hands felt weak.

Just when she hesitated , Duke‘s lips met hers. Her cold lips instantly became warm.
