My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 548

Chapter 548

Duke felt a little annoyed that she was still focusing on the necklace. "I'll buy you ten of that later," he whispered in a husky voice as he drew closer to Adina's ear and lowered his head to her level.

Before Adina could even reply to him, she felt the man's lips getting closer to her, and she felt her earlobe getting enveloped in moisture.

"You!"

Her face turned a shade of red from shyness.

He actually dared to lick her earlobe on this occasion, in a setting like this, and with people watching!

From nowo

"From now on, you're not allowed to accept anything from other men!" Duke bit on her earlobe and growled.

"!

Adina's breathing became unsteady with anger.

This bastard. He was intentionally being so touchy in front of Dillon.

There was a good chance that Dillon was her biological father.

Adina gave a hard pinch on Duke's waist.

However, Dillon simply saw her actions as flirting with Duke.

He had already lost his daughter to another man before he could even reunite with her.

Duke felt like crying.

"Ahem!" He cleared his throat loudly, but the two in front of him did not even hear him.

"Uhm..." Dillon raised his voice a little and said, "Mr. Winters, I have a project I want to talk to you about. Is it convenient for you?" "Can't you see that I'm going to try on my suits?" Duke said, without a single trace of politeness.

"Then I can wait until you have finished your fitting before we talk, Mr. Winters."

Dillon sat down on the chair.

Despite his reluctance to see his daughter being "bullied," he was worried that Duke's actions might escalate once he leaves

He wanted to stay here and stare at them!

Duke was speechless.

This old man is still trying to pester Addy. Did he think he was invisible?

He wrapped his arm around Adina's slender waist and sat down on the opposite side, his voice cold to the core as he said, "Mr. Jones. What do you wish to talk to me about? Do say." Actually, Dillon actually had no work-related stuff to discuss with Duke.

He disliked dealing with company matters and had always tossed his work to the management. After Jones Corporation

had handed him a subsidiary company, he had let his son take care of it. He had been dormant for so long that he had long since lost track of the state of the current market.

He paused for a long time before speaking, "Mr. Winters, you became the president of Winters Corporation at such a young age, and even led the company to a new height. It is a really admirable feat." Duke's lips curled, and he continued, mockingly, "Mr. Jones, you are the only young master of the Jones family, yet you managed to lose the position of the heir. That is also really admirable." The moment he said it, the atmosphere instantly turned cold.

Adina frowned and said calmly, "Some people pursue power, while others are indifferent to fame and fortune. Everyone is free to make their own choices, and there is nothing to criticize." Duke's mood immediately plummeted.

Was Addy siding with that old man, Dillon?

Dillon felt very relieved.

It seemed that the relationship between a father and daughter was unbreakable. Even though Addy was unaware of his real identity, she was speaking up for him. Did that imply that Addy had a good impression of him as well?

Just as Dillon was about to speak, the phone on the table started vibrating. It was Adina's phone.

She glanced at the caller ID. It was Serene.

Serene has been left in charge of managing the company while

she has been accompanying Duke in the hospital for the past few days. Was it possible that something occurred?

She accepted the call with knitted eyebrows.
