My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 553

Chapter 553

Adina cleared her throat.

She looked at her colleagues in discomfort and said, "Don't work overtime today, everyone, go relax at the bar. Serene can put it on my tab."

'Wow! You're the best, Ms. Daugherty!"

"You're the one getting married, but we get to enjoy life? This is great!"

"Ms. Daugherty, you should get on with your date, well be getting off work soon."

Under the strange gazes of her colleagues, Adina fled downstairs through the elevator.

As she approached Duke, she felt the weight of a hundred eyes on her.

She looked back and saw that her colleagues from the office had all followed her downstairs, pretending to just be passing by while giving her obvious winks.

'Why are they so nosy...?'

Meanwhile, Duke took her by the waist and whispered, "How was your day?"

"We're in public." Adina smacked his hand away. "We can talk in the car."

Duke chuckled.

This woman used to be so cold, but ever since they slept together, she blushed at every little touch.

He truly adored this side of her.

Duke was about to open the door to the passenger seat when his phone started vibrating.

Jake's voice sounded from the phone, "Mr. Winters, we've cornered Earl Winters at Golden Sun Bar. Would you like to come over now?"

Duke frowned.

When he was out with Adina as she tried on bridal dresses, he had left her side to catch him, yet Earl still managed to get away. But this time...

He pursed his lips and said, "Keep him detained, I'll be there soon."

After he hung up, Duke put on an apologetic expression. "Sorry, Adina, but I have to go take care of something."

Adina frowned. "Earley hasn't been found yet?”

"He got away." Duke's lips stretched into a taut line. "But he can't hide forever."

"Then you'd better get going." Adina's expression turned serious. "Nothing else matters, I'm afraid he might come after our children. The sooner we catch him, the safer our children will be."

"I'll send you home first." Duke opened the car door for her.

Adina smiled and shook her head. "Since you're going to be busy, I'll join my colleagues for a drink at the bar."

Duke narrowed his eyes. "The bar?"

From his expression, Adina could sense his jealousy.
