Chapter 574
A strange aura permeated the room, and Adina immediately pushed the man away.
She rolled over to the right side of the bed and switched on the light with a snap.
The moment the light came on, the man covered his face.
Adina frowned and looked over with a sharp gaze. When the man covered his face, she found his demeanor very unfamiliar for some reason.
It was as if the original Duke had suddenly disappeared.
“The fire burned my eyes today. Switch off the light first.”
The man covered half of his face as he spoke in a husky voice.
Adina crawled from the corner of the bed, pursed her lips, and said, “Show me. If it‘s severe, you‘ll need some medication.”
She raised her hand and moved the man‘s fingers away one by one.
An extremely familiar face appeared before her. Adina saw his eyebrows that were furrowed, a habit that he had developed, and she also observed his tall nose and thin lips that he had used to kiss her.
“Addy, why are you looking at me like that?” the man asked as he stared at her.
Adina suppressed all the strange thoughts in her mind. “When
you went to put out the fire at the cemetery today, I called you many times. Why didn’t you answer my call or reply to any of my messages?”
The man curled the corners of his lips. “I dropped my phone in the fire. Someone will send me a new phone tomorrow.”
The way he curled his lips was once again strange to Adina.
She pulled the blanket over and covered herself. “It‘s 4.00 am. I have to get some sleep since I‘ll need to greet the elderly tomorrow.”
She raised her hand and switched off the light before she put her head under the blanket.
Meanwhile, the man, who was sitting on the other side of the bed, darkened his gaze like a demon that just crawled out from hell.
He raised his arm and patted the blanket. “Go ahead and sleep first. I‘ll take a shower.”
He entered the bathroom and closed the door behind him. Then, he flicked open a lighter and lit a cigarette.
Adina did not sleep soundly that night. When she woke up in the morning, she looked at the pillow beside her, as though it was a habit. The blanket had not been moved. That meant her husband, Duke, did not get in bed last night.
sleeping for at least twenty–four hours. Please don‘t worry.”
