My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 554

“Hey, Ms. Daugherty, why’s Mr. Winters here, too?” Serene said as she took Adina’s arm and pointed at the bar counter.

Adina looked toward where Serene was pointing and a man sitting at the counter. Although it was just his side profile, the silhouette alone confirmed that it was Duke.

‘Didn’t he go searching for Earley? Why is he here?’

Adina was about to get up when she realized that Duke was facing an equally familiar figure.

It was a woman with blonde chestnut hair and a deep-set face. A foreigner...

‘Wasn’t this woman the one who visited Duke at the hospital the other day? I think her name was Catherine, and she’s a therapist. What are they doing here?’

Adina’s doubts disappeared in a flash. She stood up and walked towards them.

“Ms. Daugherty, call Mr. Winters over for a drink with us,” Serene said with a wink.

Although everyone was fearful of Duke’s aura, they were more curious about what he would look like with Adina by his side, even if it meant having to witness public displays of affection.

Adina laughed. “Alright, I’ll get him to come and drink with us.”

After she whispered this to Serene, when she raised her head and looked back at the counter, she realized that Duke had disappeared. Catherine was left sitting alone there with a glass in her hand.

‘Where did he go?’

Adina rushed over. Even after a cursory look around, she could not find Duke’s figure.

“Ms. Daugherty, what a coincidence.”

Catherine put down her glass and leveled Adina with a penetrating gaze. A faint smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.

Adina returned her gaze with a frown. “Where’s the man who was just drinking with you?”
