Adina lowered her head, and her exquisite chin accentuated her perfect jawline under the light.
She was wearing a white shirt, and her collar was unbuttoned. It revealed the clavicular line of her collarbone and her fair skin, which was undulating slightly.
Duke struggled to look away.
Over the past twenty years, his mind had always been clean. Even if a naked woman stood in front of him, he would not be bothered to look at her.
But the ridiculous thought of taking Adina’s clothes off invaded his mind at that moment.
He thought he was a righteous man, but right then, he finally realized that he was no different from a playboy like Trent.
He had just never met a woman whom he was interested in previously.
“I’ll help you put on the apron.”
Duke took out an apron from the cabinet and helped Adina to put it on.
Duke’s musky scent was faintly discernible, and it surrounded Adina like an invisible net.
When she first smelled him, she was terrified. But after she got used to it, she actually felt alright.
Adina cut the vegetables while she said, “Mr. Winters, if you just want to find someone to keep Mrs. Winters off your back, there’s actually a better candidate, like Dew, who happens to be George and Harold’s mother.”
When she said that, her knife tilted, and she nearly cut her finger.
Duke curled his lips. “She’s like Gorilla Tape. Once she sticks to me, I’ll never be able to get rid of her, but you’re different.”
Adina pursed her lips. “Dew’s the mother of your children. Aren’t you going too far by describing her like that?”
“She should feel lucky to be George and Harold’s mother, or else…”
Duke’s eyes were filled with terrifying coldness.
He did not finish his sentence, but Adina could already guess what he wanted to say.
She looked down and said, “You hate Dew so much… Is it because she gave birth to two sons without your consent?”
