My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 572

Chapter 572

There was a wet blanket over his body, and it looked like he was not injured.

Adina sighed in relief. She immediately dialed Duke‘s number, but nobody picked it up after the phone rang for a while.

When she turned around, she saw Mrs. Winters walking over after sending off the guests. “Mr. Brown came to take the children home earlier. Let‘s go home now.”

Adina held her phone and asked, “Mom, is Duke back yet?”

“He went to the police station to make a statement.” Mrs. Winters seemed to avoid her gaze slightly. “It appears that someone set fire to the Winters Cemetery. Not only the cemetery was destroyed, but the entire row of nearby shops and houses was also burned down. It‘s a big deal, so Duke has to help the police with the investigation.”

Adina nodded and did not say anything else.

Once the wedding banquet ended, the hall became very quiet. The Winters family‘s mansion was desolate upon their return as well.

The courtyard was full of balloons and string lights, yet Adina felt lonely.

Had she suddenly become a resentful wife just because her husband did not toast with her at the wedding?

Adina chuckled in resignation.

She went to the children‘s room and took a look. Their faces were red from the red wine. She wondered how much wine they had actually consumed.

Her children were born prematurely, so they were not the strongest. They should not indulge in such a beverage.

However, her mother–in–law encouraged it. Adina could not say anything about it as a result.

She returned to her room and slowly removed her makeup. Then, she took a shower. It was already 9.00 pm by the time she was done.

Even so, she had yet to receive a reply from Duke after she sent him a text message.

Adina was truly exhausted today, and she had also drunk at least two glasses of wine. She lay on the bed to wait for Duke to get back, but she ended up falling asleep.

Adina could not be bothered with anything else. She scrambled up the side of the cliff on both feet and worked her way up, but no matter how hard she tried, she was always a few dozen meters from the cliff.
