Chapter 564
Adina lay on the bed. She kept tossing and turning, but she could not fall asleep.
While she had insomnia, the phone under her pillow vibrated. She took a peek and found that it was a video call from Duke.
She immediately answered the call.
“Dear, are you still awake?”
A sweet feeling filled Adina‘s heart. “I can‘t sleep. What about you?”
“I can‘t sleep either.” Duke leaned to the side in bed, and his gaze was affectionate. “I don‘t know who came up with such a rule to separate us.”
Adina chuckled and said, “We‘re just not together for one day. Can you be more mature?”
“Why should I be mature in front of my wife?” Duke stared at the phone screen and said, “Rest well tonight. I‘ll pick you up early in the morning.”
“Don‘t even think about it. My grandma mentioned that the time to pick the bride up has been fixed. It‘s apparently at 10.08 am.” Duke appeared gloomy. “I can only see you in another eleven hours.”
Adina smiled faintly again.
The two of them kept chatting until Adina closed her eyes and
fell asleep soundly.
She was awakened by Mdm. Xavier the next day.
She turned around and looked out the window. The sky was still dark. She rubbed her eyes and took a look at the time. It was only 4.30 am.
That meant she had just slept for three hours.
“Grandma...” Adina held the blanket tightly and refused to wake up. “It‘s still very early. Please let me sleep for a while longer.”
She simply allowed the makeup artist to apply cosmetic products on her face while she closed her eyes and continued sleeping.
