My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke)
Chapter 989

Chapter 989 Duke knew that he should not have been such a jerk, but his inner voice told him that she was his wife. No matter what he did, it would never be too much. Therefore, he kissed her again when she was unconscious. However, the kiss lit up a fire in him, and he could no longer hold back. He wanted more and more. "I'm sorry."

Duke took off his coat and threw it over.

Adeena kicked the coat to the floor before she reached up to button her collar. She flashed him a cold sneer. "I really didn't expect you to be such a person, Mr. Winters!"

Duke's aura immediately weakened. "I was too rude. I'm sorry."

His willingness to admit his mistakes kept Adeena's anger in her chest, and she did not manage to vent it out.

"Is this something that can merely be solved with an apology?" Adeena angrily asked in return.

There was a strange sensation on her lips. Even if she did not look in the mirror, she could guess that this man must have kissed her when she was unconscious.

Unconscious!

Adeena's expression became cold again. "What did you do to me? How did I fall asleep?"

"You have severe dark circles. I guess you didn't rest well last night. I just wanted you to sleep for a while." Duke's voice was soft and tender. Plus, his strong affection could not be diluted like an ink drop on drawing paper.

Adeena pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

Why had she not been sleeping well? It was because Willis Corporation had been framed. None of the family's members could sleep in peace. The person who framed them was the man standing in front of her. She took a deep breath and softly said, "Mr. Winters, the wind power project under Willis Corporation passed government approval. The wastewater discharge in every quarter also meets environmental targets. Winters Corporation has created an accusation out of nothing! May I ask when the Willis family offended you?"

Duke seemed startled when he saw her like that.

It was like meeting Adina for the first time again.

Back then, she exuded the same indifference as she did now.

This time, she was lively. Her every nove and smile made his heart flutter. She was no longer the Addy who would easily get angry and collapse. She had slowly become

the person she used to be. Duke had the urge to hold her in his arms again.

However, he suppressed the urge and slowly said, "You're just a foster daughter in the Willis family. Why would you stand up for them?"

"Mr. Winters, that's hilarious. I'm a Willis. The Willis family saved me and provided me with shelter. Why shouldn't I stand up for them?" Adeena sneered. "Mr. Winters, just tell me what it'll take to spare the Willis family." Duke smiled faintly. He suddenly enjoyed the moment. She was very sharp-tongued, and they could argue. She was still alive and standing right in front of him. They had a long future ahead. Thinking of that, Duke no longer felt the need to rush.

He sat on the couch in a relaxed manner and nonchalantly said, "Are you willing to pay any price to save the Willis family?"

Adeena pursed her pink lips. She suddenly realized something. Winters Corporation had not been attacked by a hacker. The whole thing was just to lure her there.
