My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 576

Chapter 576

“I‘m really busy.” Earl pursed his lips. “I need to take a flight to Europe for a business trip this afternoon, and I’ll only be back half a month later.”

Adina was stunned.

He was going out for a business trip on the first day of their marriage?

It was not that he could not go, but this man would not do such a thing with the way he felt about her.

“What would you like from Europe? I‘ll bring it back for you.” Earl touched his thin lips. He had a chronic smoking habit, and he wanted to smoke again at that moment.

Adina pursed her lips. “If Mel finds out that you’ll be on a business trip for half a month, she‘ll be very sad.”

Mel?

The image of a little girl popped up in his head.

He had only seen the little girl from a distance. He had not officially met the girl after becoming Duke.

Earl smiled faintly and said, “I‘ll bring her a present so that she won‘t be sad.” He suddenly stood up. “Okay, I‘ll get ready to go to the airport. Be careful on your way home.”

He walked out of the meeting room before he ordered his

assistant and secretary to prepare some things with a cold gaze.

Adina stood in the corridor outside the office, and the look in her eyes was profound.

Did he not care about her anymore after he obtained her?

Or did he never care about her?

Perhaps he only married her because of the kids?

Adina clenched her fists, and the mocking smile on her face grew wider.

Before she turned eighteen, she had treated the Daugherty family sincerely, only for them to totally hurt her.

Now that she was twenty–three, she ended up believing in Duke‘s sweet talk as well. She was truly dumb.

She should have realized that she was just fresh meat to Duke. How could she… allow herself to be carried away?
