My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 546

Chapter 546

Duke and Adina, on the other hand, went to try out their wedding outfits.

"I want to see you in your wedding dress," Duke went close to Adina's ear and whispered.

"Wait till the day of the wedding," Adina teased with a bright grin. "Just five more days."

The woman smiled shyly. The man had gentle eyes. The store staff all looked at them with envy as the two came inside the bridal store together.

"Mr. Winters and Miss Daugherty are so deeply in love. They look very happy."

"Miss Daugherty has four children, a man who loves her, and she is only twenty-three years old. She's really winning in life."

"The four children that came to try on the clothes yesterday all have such a strong resemblance to Mr. Winters. Even the young girl took after her father."

"I think the children's eyes look more like Miss Daugherty's ..."

The storekeepers continued gossiping about the couple.

The staff members quickly introduced the groom's dress suit to Adina and Duke as soon as they took a seat in the VIP lounge.

"Here are five sets of dress suits, Mr. Winters. The main color theme is black, with a pink tie with gold accents. It matches the

wedding dress." The staff member gave a detailed explanation." Every hidden button on the shirts has two alphabets engraved on them, and it's the initials of both Mr. Winters and Miss Daugherty's names." Duke was very satisfied with all five of the suits, but as he stood up to try them on, a call suddenly came in.

On the other end of the line, Jake's voice could be heard. "Earl has been located, Mr. Winters!"

Duke's brows furrowed. "Don't alert him, wait for me to arrive."

After hanging up, he looked at Adina apologetically and said," Addy, wait here for me for half an hour, I'll be back soon."

Adina immediately knew that it must have had something to do with Earl, so she nodded and said, "Just go, I'll be waiting for you here."

Duke turned and left the bridal store.

Once he left, Adina sat down on an empty seat and looked through her phone while she waited.

She waited for half an hour, but there was still no sign of him.

She looked up, cast a quick glance out the windows, and noticed a familiar silhouette seated at the entrance to the bridal store.

She glanced at them, and for a second the person panicked and hurriedly turned around.

Adina's lips pursed, and her eyes narrowed, but she retreated and resumed scrolling through her phone.

Five minutes later, a silhouette appeared in front of her.

"What a coincidence, Miss Daugherty. We meet again."

Dillon took a seat opposite her, pushed the cup of coffee in her direction, and said, "It must be fate. Let me treat you to a cup of coffee."

Adina put away her phone, and after fixing her gaze on him, she said, "You've been in the bridal store two days in a row, Mr. Jones. Are you perhaps getting remarried?"

Dillon went silent for a while.

He was already an old man, why would he be getting married?

But if not for a wedding, how would you explain a person showing up at a wedding dress store two days in a row?

"I have a friend that's getting ready for his wedding, and I'm here to accompany him for his fitting," Dillon stated dryly after taking a sip of coffee.

Adina's lips curled up as she said, "Then, where's that friend of yours, Mr. Jones?

She lightly chuckled when she saw Dillon's guilty expression and added, "Let's make it clear, Mr. Jones. Why have you been following me for the past two days?" "Please, don't get me wrong. I have no ill intentions!" Dillon wanted to explain himself, but he soon realized that he could not come up with a reasonable excuse. "I'm still waiting for someone. Please help yourself, Mr. Jones,"

said Adina as she lowered her eyes.

Dillon looked defeated.

All he wanted was to replace a chance to get close to his own daughter, but why was he making things worse instead?
