Chapter 682
This was the first time the woman had spoken to him so nicely ever since learning his identity.
Earl acceded to her will. “Since it‘s been resolved, you can move back to the Winters family‘s mansion tonight.”
Adina pulled open the car door and got into the car. Her hand paused as it fastened the seat belt, and she said, “Wouldn‘t you look at the time now? If we pack up and move now, it‘ll be 11:00 pm after we finish everything. It‘s fine if we adults stay up late, but the kids can‘t stay up like this. Just because they are not your kids, it doesn‘t mean you cannot feel sorry for them.”
Her tone carried a hint of censure, and this was an emotion that fascinated Earl.
Earl could not describe how he felt. In short, he enjoyed listening to the long list of words that this woman said to him.
He held the steering wheel and drove while he asked, “By the way, what did you talk to Catherine about while you were alone with her?”
He was simply asking her casually, but Adina was suspicious of it, thinking that the question had been framed differently. She dared not show too much emotion. She coldly snorted.” Now, you‘re even asking about the conversation between women. Why are you so nosy?”
Earl chuckled. “Okay, I won‘t ask.”
“Come over tomorrow and help us move at noon,” Adina then said, “Don‘t come too early. We will still be resting if it‘s too early. If you wake Mel up, she will make a fuss the entire day.”
“Okay, I‘ll do what you say.”
Earl held the steering wheel. Instead of looking at the road ahead, he gently glanced at the woman beside him.
Such a quiet and serene moment was something that he had never experienced before.
He finally understood why many of his subordinates wanted to get out of this life and escape because the ordinary life outside. was really too beautiful.
Even a woman‘s casual accusations gave him some comfort in
love.
Very soon, the car stopped in front of the mansion.
Adina unfastened the seat belt, opened the car door, and got out. She stood at the door and waved. “See you tomorrow.”
