Chapter 570
Adina had been up since 4.00 am. She was so exhausted that her whole body was aching. Duke kissed her on the forehead with affection. “I’ll bring you home so that you can have a good rest after the toast.”
“It doesn‘t matter how tiring it is. It‘s just one day.” Adina leaned in his arms and softly said, “You‘ve just been discharged from the hospital. You should drink less when you make your toast later.”
“I‘ll do as you say, Dear.” Duke kissed her cheek again before he turned around and went to the resting lounge next door to get changed.
Adina‘s gown was complex, and two stylists had to help her before she could successfully wear it. They then immediately put on new makeup on her face.
This gown was red. It looked festive with its beautiful lace and gold embroidery.
Adina looked in the mirror and fixed her makeup before she walked out of her dressing room and knocked on the next room‘s door.
The makeup artist there respectfully said, “Mr. Winters finished changing half an hour ago. He should be greeting the guests in the lobby now.”
Adina nodded and thanked her before she lifted the hem of her
gown and walked toward the lobby.
She stood at the entrance as she glanced at the whole banquet hall, but she did not see the stunning man.
That man was like a light that shone brightly wherever he went, so much so that it was impossible to look at him directly.
Theoretically, she should be able to spot him immediately.
“Mommy, you‘re so beautiful!”
“Wow, Mommy! What‘s on your head? Why is it so beautiful ?”
The children showed up from nowhere and surrounded her.
“Addy, you finally got changed.” Mrs. Winters smiled and walked over out of the blue. “Duke had to leave because of something urgent. I‘ll accompany you as you toast to the guests.”
What else would be more important than his wedding on his wedding day?
