My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 480

Chapter 480

"Fine. I will leave, okay?" Flint was reduced to a wimp in front of Adina. He walked to the door of the private room. Then, he turned back. His cold gaze fell on Duke. The private room door closed, and the corridor finally quieted down. Adina felt her scalp tingle.

She did not even understand why she would feel guilty. The point was that guiltiness she felt had been really intense. Damn it!

"So, what a small world."

Adina looked up and greeted him dryly.

Duke stared at her with a gloomy gaze. "You have a boyfriend?"

"No, no!" Adina shook her head hastily. "I was just doing him a favor by posing as his girlfriend."

She was typically an aloof person. Nothing else could stir up her emotions except her children. However, she could not even look Duke in the eyes right now.

She lowered her head. Her long lashes cast a shadow beneath her eyes.

Her skin was very pale. She looked even more stunning under the clubhouse's colorful lights.

Duke thought about the kiss that Flint had just given her on the back of her hand. For some reason, he felt an urge to reach out for her.

He suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist.

His palm felt hot. The burning sensation made Adina jolt. She lifted her head.

Before she could react, Duke's face was suddenly magnified before her eyes, Then, she felt something soft press against her lips.

Boom!

Adina felt like her head was going to explode.

She could not believe that he had just kissed her!

How dare he kiss her!

Adina tried to struggle, but all the air in her mouth was sucked out. She seemed to have suddenly lost all of her strength. She could only cling to this man instinctively for support.

She did not know how long it had been, but the kiss finally ended. "Keep this in mind, don't pretend to be any man's girlfriend again."

Duke leaned in and whispered into her ears. His voice was low and hoarse, suppressing some kind of raw emotion.

The man wrapped his arm around her back and continued. "And don't let anyone kiss you, not even on the back of your hand."

Adina leaned against him feebly and explained with a faint voice, "His lips didn't touch the back of my hand. He just made it look like a kiss from a certain angle."

The frustration that had become entrenched in Duke's mind suddenly dissipated significantly. Upon seeing the corner of his lips curled up, it finally occurred to Adina what she had just done.

This man had just kissed her without her consent, yet she was still frantically explaining herself to him.

Based on her personality, wasn't she supposed to slap him hard?

She could not believe that she lost herself in that kiss!

Adina stepped back instantly to free herself from his arms. She did not dare to look at him. Then, she bolted.

Duke lifted his hand and brushed it over his own lips. He could still feel her aftertaste.

He had not been able to replace a breakthrough in their relationship. He finally took a big step forward today. He had seen a glint of hope in their future.

He was about to go after her when he saw the door of the private room, which had just been tightly closed, was open again. Flint walked out of the private room. He had a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. His expression was wanton and unrestrained. His gaze was gloomy. Duke met his gaze. He said in a cold voice, "Flint, you can tell me if you want someone to act with you. I know a lot of women. I can recommend a few of them to you."
