My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) -
Chapter 458
Chapter 458
Adina returned to the banquet hall and continued talking to everyone.
She was gorgeous and capable. For a moment, countless people handed their name cards to her.
At 9.00 pm, people slowly left the banquet. "Addy, let me send you home." Ethan caught up with her and spoke like a gentleman. Before Adina could answer, a tall figure walked over from the entrance of the banquet hall.
She turned around to replace that it was Duke.
Had this man arrived a long time ago?
She would have left earlier if she had realized it.
"Ethan, someone's here to pick me up. Thank you for the offer," Adina smiled as she said. Ethan frowned and looked at Duke before his frown deepened. "Addy, are you and Mr. Winters
"Ahem!" Adina stroked her nose awkwardly. "Alden and Mel are with the Winters family, so I'm going back with Mr. Winters to pick them up." Ethan pursed his lips and did not say anything else. Duke was Alden and Melody's father. It was inappropriate for an outsider like Ethan to interfere with the kids living in their biological father's house.
However, he could not understand Duke, and he did not know if it was a good thing for Addy to be with him either.
"Mr. Xavier."
Duke spoke casually and extended his hand.
Ethan reached out to shake Duke's hand gently. "Mr. Winters, please take good care of Addy. It hasn't been easy for her all these years." Adina pursed her lips.
Ethan must have misunderstood and thought that she was in a relationship with Duke! She thought that Duke would explain the situation.
But the man softly said, "I will. I will take good care of her. Please don't worry."
Perhaps his voice was stable and powerful, or perhaps the members of the Winters family were trustworthy, but Ethan instantly felt a lot more relieved.
He stood outside the banquet hall as he watched Adina enter Duke's car.
As soon as Adina got into the car, she felt more relaxed.
She had been dealing with all kinds of inexperienced businessmen the whole night, and it was mentally exhausting.
"Are you tired?" Duke held the steering wheel and softly asked.
Adina leaned back in her seat, closed her eyes to rest, and said, "I'm fine." She paused for a while before she continued. "Mr. Winters, do you know Earley Wynters, the CEO of Elitos in Sea City?"
After some thought, she noticed that Earley's figure was at least 90% similar to Duke's. One was Winters, while the other was Wynters. Her instincts told her that there seemed to be some connection between the two of them.
Duke's grip on the steering wheel tightened. His gaze instantly became severe. "Was he there at the party tonight?" Adina nodded. "This is the third time I've met him. He wears a mask every time. People in the banquet hall were asking if his face was scarred. Otherwise, why would a person frequently show up with a face mask? We have no idea."
