Chapter 607
Mrs. Winters took a deep breath while suppressing the constricting and anxious sensation that was rapidly breaking out within her chest.
She walked over to Adina, held her hands, and sighed. “Addy, everybody has two sides. Let‘s take you as an example. You‘re determined while working, but you‘re also gentle and patient when the kids are around. These two completely different personalities are still part of you. It‘s the same with Duke. No matter what side he shows, it‘s still him, he‘s still my son, your husband, and also the father to your children.”

Adina forced out a smile, but it did not quite reach her eyes.
She pulled her hands away and said, “Duke is still waiting for me upstairs. I‘ll take my leave now.”
She took a step, walked into the mansion, and started going up the stairs to the master bedroom.
Mrs. Winters clasped her hands together tightly.
With trembling lips, she mumbled, “I‘m sorry, Duke. I can only let your brother take care of your wife and children since you‘re not here anymore. Duke, I truly don‘t have any other choice. I‘m sorry. I‘m sorry...”
Her words slowly faded away into the night, disappearing into the pitch–black sky.
Adina stood in front of the bedroom door and took a moment to compose herself before pushing the door open.
Earl emerged from the bathroom just as she entered.
He was wearing a bathrobe that was hanging loosely on his frame. The tattoos on his chest were partly visible under the warm yellow lights.
He sat down on the bed right away and turned to look at Adina with inexplicable emotions swirling in his eyes.
“Can you get dressed first ?” Adina asked quietly. “I need your help with something.”
Earl touched his lips as he resisted the urge to smoke while raising his eyebrows and said, “We‘ll talk about it tomorrow. It‘s getting late now, let‘s go to bed early.”
wanted to ask the servants to buy it for me. But you said that it‘s your responsibility, and you don‘t want to hand that responsibility over. Why do you want me to ask the servants this time?”
