My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 450

Duke fell into contemplative silence before he asked, “Do you have to attend the banquet tonight?”

Adina gave him a sideways glance. “What’s wrong?”

It was a celebration party organized by Elitos, so those who attended the banquet today were business partners that were going to collaborate with Elitos. She could use this opportunity to expand her network, hence she wanted to attend it if possible.

Duke was at a loss of words when she stared at him.

Could he tell her that he did not want other men to see her beauty, so he was hoping she would not attend?

He would never say that out loud.

His words died in his throat, and he indifferently said, “Hal’s very dependent on you, so I just wanted to ask what time you’ll be home.”

Adina tidied her hair as she answered, “About 9.00 pm.”

“Okay, I’ll go and pick you up,” Duke said with a straight face.

Adina wanted to decline at first, but her car was still under maintenance. Plus, Alden and Melody were still with the Winters family. It seemed that she could only return to the Winters family villa for the time being.

She lowered her head and smoothed out her dress without saying anything else.

After she changed gowns and got her hair styled, Duke watched as Adina entered the banquet hall.

Just as he was about to drive away, he received a text message from Catherine on his phone.

[Mr. Winters, I’m planning to open a counseling center in Sea City soon. May I know if you can help me rent out an office?]

Duke tapped on the keypad and sent a one-word reply. [Okay.]
