My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 893

Chapter 893 "You need to give me some time to adapt to this..." Adina lowered her gaze aggrievedly."...So I can willingly sleep with you..." Tears welled up at the corner of her eyes as she looked extremely

aggrieved and pitiful.

This instantly melted Earl's heart.

Even though he knew that Adina must be up to something, he could not help but compromise.

He pursed his lips and said, "Take your time, then."

He slowly touched her hair and his fingers massaged her scalp gently.

He recalled what he had gone through during the period he was locked up.

He had been living in the shadows, but when he was locked up, without knowing if it was day or not, he realized something. It turned out that even living in the dark all the time was better than going through the motions like a living dead. He continued to massage the back of Adina's head and said gently, "Does it feel good?"

She closed her eyes and nodded. She started to loosen up and did not resist.

Earl took off his shoes. He leaned into her as he gradually lowered his guard.

At that moment, Adina slipped her hand into her pillowcase and took out a shiny dagger. She pressed it against Earl's throat. The ambiguous atmosphere instantly dissipated.

His expression quickly turned cold. He pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth, revealing a smirk. 'I keep trying to please her, but she keeps trying to kill me.' He felt a tingling sensation on his neck. Blood dripped down immediately, staining the snow white sheets red.

She did not bother to get dressed. She sneered, "Are you surprised?" Earl grinned. "I should've known. A woman like you wouldn't give in so easily."

He picked up the earring and was about to press it.

Adina said coldly, "Even if you issue an order, I still have time to resist. Do you want me to take you down the grave with me?"

Earl's hands stiffened. "This woman is really ruthless. I'm not even surprised that she can do something like this.' Adina raised her hand and snatched the gold pendant. Before she could speak, Earl smiled. "Do you like that pendant? I have about hundreds more." He leaned against the head of the bed lazily. He did not look like someone who was being threatened by a dagger. He chuckled," I have hundreds of subordinates too. They all have a controller each. After I die, they will make the rest of your life a living hell."

Adina's hand started to quiver. 'If I kill this man, will I be able to kill the remaining hundred of them?'

Her hand quivered so much that she exerted force on the sharp blade. It slit across Earl's neck.

Red fresh warm blood gushed out and splashed on Adina's face. Earl covered his neck with her hands and frowned angrily. "You almost got my jugular. Are you really going for it?"

"If I wanted to kill you, I would've done that without any hesitation!" Adina clenched the dagger and said through her gritted teeth, "Go, now!" Earl looked at her hatefully. "Adina Daugherty, you will pay for this. Just wait and see!" He opened the glass door and jumped down, without making much noise in the dark night. Adina slumped on the bed, feeling exhausted. She only came back to her senses when the cold wind blew in from the open door.
