Chapter 485
Four pairs of eyes turned to look at him in sync.
Duke was speechless.
This woman was trying to set him up.
Everyone knew how to sing that song, but he was a man in his twenties. Would it not be hilarious if he sang such a song?
What if his image in her mind plummeted only because he sang this song?
“You don’t know how to sing the song, Duke?” Adina suddenly said.
The way she called his name was too much for him to bear.
Hearing her soft voice made him feel as though all the bones in his body had melted.
It was also the first time Adina had addressed him in such a manner.
Although he was aware of her intentions, he nevertheless gave in without hesitation.
He took the microphone, cleared his throat, and started singing along with the accompaniment. “Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes...”
Even when he sang upbeat children’s songs, his voice was very low and had a calm tone.
Adina stood a meter away and looked at him.
He simply stood there, his tall, slender frame swaying slightly to the music as he sang in a deep voice.
Obviously, he was a little nervous, but he still sang the whole song.
He actually did as she asked.
A cloud of mixed feelings flashed through Adina’s eyes.
The song ended in a flash.
“Wow! You’re excellent at singing, Daddy!” Mel exclaimed as she clapped enthusiastically.
Duke patted her hair and said, “Thank you for the compliment, Mel.”
Then, turning to face Adina, he asked, “How about you? How would you rate my singing?”
“Not bad. Have a glass of champagne.”
Adina handed him a glass of champagne.
Originally, there were only drinks for the children on the table. After that man came, she brought out the champagne her client had previously gifted her.
The wine tasted great. It was too much for one person to finish, but just right for two people to enjoy.
As they clinked glasses, Duke said, “Thank you.”
“Why are you thanking me?” Adina cocked her head and asked.
“This is the first time I’m seeing George and Harold so happy, and it’s all because of you.” Duke took a sip of wine and said softly, “
The Winters family only got to experience love because of you. We feel more like a family and more at home because of your love.”
His jet-black eyes were gleaming unbelievably brightly as he spoke.
Adina’s heart skipped a beat with the way he was staring at her.
“This is my song,” she announced as she hurriedly set down her drink and grabbed the microphone. “I’m going to sing.”
