Chapter 1042
Duke carried her and put her down on the couch in the resting lounge.
He knelt down and squatted in front of her. He took off her high heels, and his gaze became intense. “Your heels are broken.”
The high heels had just been bought recently, and this was her first time wearing them. Every time she wore new shoes, they would eat into her ankles slightly, but she was already used to it.
Just as she was about to say she was fine, she blurted out something else, “It hurts a little. Can you help me buy some Band–Aids?”
Duke’s deep eyes were filled with excitement.
Addy, who had been resisting him, had actually asked
him to buy her something. Did this mean that they were much closer now?
“Okay, wait for me here. I’ll be back in a minute.”
Duke got up and left the Sales Office.
Adeena sighed in relief.
She bent down and put on her shoes. Then, she grabbed her bag and ran away through the side door.
Yes, she ran away.
If she did not leave now, she doubted that she would be able to leave later.
This man was poisonous. He invaded her mind and turned her into a completely different person.
She could not accept being like that.
Once Adeena left the Sales Office, she got into a cab, and the car instantly disappeared from the entrance.
Right then, Duke had just arrived at a nearby drugstore. When he entered, the surroundings in the drugstore became dull. Whether it was the pharmacist or customers, everyone just looked at him. “Do you have Band–Aids?”
The shop assistant only snapped out of her daze when she heard Duke‘s cold and deep voice. “Yes.... Yes!” The sales assistant immediately took out the Band–Aids. “This is for anti–inflammation, this is water proof, this is relatively cheaper...”
