My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 744

Madam Winters's Fight For Her Children Chapter 744

Chapter 744 The sky was dark and filled with stars. The moonlight gleamed in the night. Adina became alert when she heard a knock on the window.

She put on a coat and pulled open the curtains, leaving a small gap for her to lookoutside the window. "It's me," A deep and hoarse voice said. Adina saw a man in a black cloak standing on the balcony. He did not wear the golden mask, and his scar was visible under the moonlight. His features, jawline and the curvature of his pursed lips were the same as the image she had in her memory. Adina unlocked the window. He walked into her room from the balcony with the chill from the night air on him. His pupils appeared darker at night, but they lit up when they saw her. They were very alluring. Adina was attracted to him. Her heart skipped a beat. She acted calm and asked, "Why did you come here?" "I came to see you." His voice was low and rough. He fixed his gaze on her. "Did you miss me?" He placed his hands on Adina's shoulders. His hands were like burning charcoal. When the heat from his hands reached her shoulders, she felt as though her heart would be scorched by it. She quickly took a step back from him. She had not switched on the lights in her room. In the dark, she did not notice the trash can behind her and she tripped and almost fell. Fortunately, Duke's arms wrapped around her waist and held her firm. "Why are you avoiding me?" He whispered in her ear," Didn't you just volunteer to be my antidote after I was drugged a few days ago?" Adina's face turned red. That was different! She tried to squirm out of his arms, but he pulled her closer. "You were injured and urgently needed help at that time, but now..." She pursed her lips. "You've lost your memory. Your current identity is of Terry North. When you resume your identity as Duke, then we'll..." She couldn't finish her words. "Tell me about our past." Duke hugged her and spoke softly, "I want to hear your voice." He had awakened for more than a month, but he still felt an emptiness. His mind was blank. He had had to rely solely on his own passion to reach his current position, It was Adina and her children's appearance that had finally given him a hope for belonging. He could care less about the chaotic situation and rushed to her the moment he got a chance. He was afraid that he would not see them again if things turned dangerous. Adina was touched. She stopped trying to push him away and gave in to his embrace. She spoke softly, "We have four children. You've seen two of them. Let me show you the other two, shall we?" "No hurry." He held Adina in his arms. "I want to hear your voice for now." To Adina, his voice sounded like the musical notes of a cello. Deep and melodious. She felt her ears heat up. Her ears must have turned red. Luckily, she had not turned on the lights. Otherwise, it would have been embarrassing. She did not know what to say. She had many things to tell him, but at that moment, she was at a loss for words. She heard him breathing, and she felt his heartbeat. Everything felt how it was supposed to be. He made her feel safe and secure. The sound of his breathing reached closer to her. Adina's eyes widened as she saw his face so close to her until he planted a kiss on her lips. Her heart pounded rapidly. She felt as though anyone could have heard the loudness of her heartbeat at that moment A strong emotion called to her. Adina felt the warmth of his hands on her shoulders. She felt his breath when he kissed her. She knew his familiar scent. Everything was so familiar that her eyes welled up in tears. She wrapped her arms around his neck and returned his kiss passionately. Just then, a loud banging sound reverberated outside. It sounded like a chair crashing to the floor. Bam! Adina quickly turned around. She got up from her bed. "Y-You stay here. I'll go and replace out what's happening." She buttoned back her blouse and left the room. Terry smiled. "Who's down there?" Adina stood at the staircase. She turned on the light in the corridor. She saw Pete on the ground. He was supporting himself up by clinging to the wall miserably. The corners of Adina's lips twitched. "Pete, what's going on?" "I don't know where the switch is. I've been trying to reach out for the switch, and I fell down!" Pete's face darkened. "It's late at night. Why aren't you sleeping? What are you doing in the living hall?" Adina asked. "You haven't gone to bed too, have you?" Pete limped over to the refrigerator. He found a bottle of water and drank half of it in one gulp. "The weather is too dry. I can't stand it anymore. I'm going to dry up!" Adina's eyes flashed. "Come to my room." Pete froze. "Adina, this is very inappropriate. I'm still in my early twenties. I haven't dated a woman. I will only give up my virginity to the one I love, not while cheating with someone else's wife!" Adina's face turned dark. "Shut up!" She said coldly. "I'm asking you to come with me. Enough of nonsense!" Pete slumped his shoulders. Although Adina was married with four children, he had to admit that she was very beautiful. Pete drank another mouthful of water. He followed her to her room. When they arrived at the door, he warned her again, "Adina, if you insist, won't refuse you. But let's make a deal. Don't tell Flint and your children about this and I won't..." He trailed off into silence as he saw a tall figure by the door. He had to look up to see the man's eyes. "Adina! You have another man already in your bedroom! What do you intend to... No way! No way! That's it! I am having none of this freakshow. I am still young and innocent. I can't defile myself like this!" "Pete! Another word and I'll seal your mouth!" Adina felt sick Pete was young. 'Why did he always make up nonsense like this in his mind?' Pete was a foreigner, and Adina was aware of his open approach to life. If not, she would have thought Pete was insulting her. Meanwhile, Terry's face turned as dark as thunderclouds. 'Why did she bring another man into her room in the middle of the night?' He was still inside her room. She should not have invited another man in her room even if he wasn't here. "Pete, he's my husband. Catherine hypnotized him and erased his memory." Adina cleared her throat and continued, "Can you replace out about his condition now?"
