Chapter 545
About five chefs stood at the dining hall’s entrance, each with a smile on their faces and teasing looks.
“Cough!” Adina nearly choked to death from her own saliva.
That meant that her and Duke’s ‘activities’ from last night were known to all the mansion’s servants…
Mabel walked over to Adina with a smile and said, “You’re up early, Adina. Have some saffron chicken stew. It’s nourishing for women and…”
“T-thank you, Mrs. Winters.”
Adina lowered her head and drank her stew, not even daring to look at the people around her.
This morning was the most embarrassing one she ever had in her whole twenty-three years of living. She wanted to bury herself in a hole.
She felt very frustrated at the thought of Duke still sleeping soundly.
But at that very moment, a well-rehearsed “Good morning, Mr. Duke” echoed in the dining hall in unison.
Adina subconsciously turned around to see Duke enter the dining hall while dressed in a silver suit.
Who could have imagined the tenderness and clinginess of this man in bed last night when he was so nicely dressed and
sporting his usual cold and stern eyes?
Adina discreetly threw a glare at him.
Duke sat down beside her and gulped down half of the asparagus soup with a straight face.
Adina was at a loss for words.
Why did she think she would be screwed tonight? 1
“Don’t drink too much of that,” she hurriedly said as she
snatched the bowl out of his hands. “You’ll get heaty.”
