My Mommy's Brave Heart novel Chapter 573

The sky was dark, and scattered moonlight fell on the balcony.

The man’s figure was straight and slender.

Adina pulled the blanket away before she gently got off the bed. She held a dagger that she had hidden in the drawer as she slowly walked toward the man on the balcony.

Then, she pulled the balcony door open, lunged forward, and restricted the man’s arm with one hand. At the next second, she pointed the dagger at the man’s neck.

The man was forced to turn around. When the moonlight shone on his face, his features looked clear and blurry at the same time.

“Duke, why… why are you standing on the balcony?”

Adina quickly released him and threw the dagger on the tea table on the balcony.

She scrutinized the man under the faint moonlight.

His illuminated features appeared profound and cold, while his gaze was intense. He just emanated an unwelcoming aura.

It was just like when they first met.

No, this man’s aura was even colder today than when they first met.

Adina looked at him and asked, “What happened to the fire at the cemetery today? Did you find anything?”

The man just stared at her before he suddenly took one step forward and held her face. “What did you just call me?”

“I called you ‘Duke’…”

As soon as Adina said that, she felt embarrassed.

They used to be together every day before the wedding, so this man would shamelessly call her “Dear.” He even wanted her to call him “Dear” in return.

She told him that she would do it after the wedding, initially thinking that she could trick him.

Unexpectedly, this man still remembered what she said.
