Chapter 581
Right after Mdm. Xavier posed the question, Adina‘s eyes turned
red.
She sniffled and held back the sorrow that suddenly flooded her being. She looked down and said, “We didn‘t have a fight.”
The two of them did not even talk. How could they fight?
“Addy, you’re disappointed because Duke didn‘t come back with you, right?” Mdm. Xavier patted the back of Adina‘s hand and said, “I‘ve seen the news. On your wedding day, something happened to the Winters Cemetery. Someone intentionally set it on fire. He needs to spend some time investigating it. Besides, due to the wedding, his work has been put on hold. Now that the wedding is over, he naturally has to put in the time to catch up on his work. He went on this trip so that he can be with you in the future. Don‘t get emotional. Just wait for him to return from his business trip.”
Adina continued to look down without answering.
She was not an inconsiderate woman. She would not ask her husband to stop working and just keep her company either.
Her grievance was due to the fact that Duke had seemingly changed. He was completely different before and after the wedding.
As much as he cherished and cared for her before the wedding, that was how indifferent and distant he was toward her following their matrimony.
He would not even do that to a stranger, right?
“Addy, I can tell that Duke really loves you.” Mdm. Xavier resumed. “He‘s done so much for you. Do you still doubt his love for you?”
Adina‘s fingers froze.
She recalled every scene from the time they first met.
They did not know each other for a long time, but they had been through a lot.
This man was even willing to risk his life for her, but she was doubting his love for her.
Even if he might change his mind one day, he could not have stopped loving her in one night.
