My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 416

Adina unexpectedly bumped into Duke, who was washing the peas.

The oil splashed on the back of her hand. She grimaced in pain.

Duke hurriedly turned down the fire on the stove, looking extremely worried. “Where did the oil hit you? Are you hurt?”

“It’s nothing. I’m fine.”

Adina ran the tap water over her hand.

After cooking for a long time, she was used to oil splashes. These little burns were nothing to her.

However, all of a sudden, a huge, rough hand grabbed her fingertips. “I’ll put on some lotion for you.”

She hurriedly pulled her hand back, but she could not break free from his grasp. She said helplessly, “I really don’t need it. Besides, can you even find where I got burnt?”

There had been a small red spot when she was burnt. But after running it in the water, it was no longer visible.

Duke looked down at the back of her hand. After looking at it carefully and not seeing any wounds, he let go of her hand.

Adina was blushing just because he held her fingertips.

Duke then took a step back. When he looked up, he noticed her eyes visibly lighting up a little.

He felt a sudden dryness in his throat.

Once again, he felt an impulse…

He took a step forward, stopping about an inch from Adina.

He stared at her lips. ‘She must’ve tasted the tomatoes just now. There’s a faint red stain at the corner of her lips, which, for some reason, looks irresistible.

He suddenly wanted to have a taste of her lips. ‘What will her lips taste like? Would it be as sweet as the tomatoes?’

He slowly lowered his head.
