Chapter 695
A new day arrived as the sun rose from the horizon.
After Adina washed up, she darkened her skin on purpose. She went downstairs once she put on some light makeup.
Flint was playing with Melody and Harold downstairs, while George and Alden were reading. The scene was warm and harmonious.
“Good morning, Mommy,” the children raised their heads and greeted her uniformly.
Adina smiled gently. “All of you have to stay home and be good today. I’ll come back at noon to make you lunch.”
“Mommy, I‘ll take good care of my brothers and sister,” George said obediently.
“I‘ll be a good boy,” Harold assured her. “I‘ll play with Mel too. Don‘t worry, Mommy.”
Melody blinked. “Be safe, Mommy.”
Adina kissed each of them on their cheeks. “Wait at home obediently. I‘ll return without incident.”
When she went outside, the gentle smile that she faked instantly disappeared.
Flint sighed. “Addy, where do you plan to look for Duke today? I‘ll go with you.”
Adina pursed her lips. “I want to discuss a collaboration with
Terry North.”
She had uncovered a lot of information about him last night.
Perhaps Astroysians were born to love peace. Even though he lived in a sinful place, he had yet to become a complete demon.
He would implement new policies, maintain order, and develop new ways to earn money.
Someone like him might not be that dangerous.
“Are you mad?” Flint stared at her in disbelief. “Do you know who Terry North is? He fought Auguste alone and killed the former leader. Only then did he become the leader. On the first day he took office, he chased other organizations out of Hestia Border. You can tell how terrifying he is just from that. How can you go and mess with him?”
“Why don‘t I go there first?” Flint made a compromise as he said, “I‘ll go and explore the area first. If Terry North is willing to talk about the collaboration, you can go there tomorrow.”
