My Mommy’s Brave Heart (Adina and Duke) novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258 “Thank you, Mr. Watson,” Adina said sincerely.

“You don‘t have to thank me. You can thank Duke. If he hadn‘t come to me, it would‘ve been impossible for me to get involved in such a lawsuit.” Brenden raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. “I still have things to do, so I need to leave first. Ms. Daugherty, let‘s keep in touch.”

Brenden walked up to Duke and patted him on the shoulder. “I‘ll drive your car. You should cherish this opportunity.”

Before Duke could say anything, he took his car key and drove away.

At 5.00 pm, the late autumn sky was haloed with the yellowish–orange evening sun. The sunlight shone on the wall tiles outside the preschool, creating charming refractions.

Adina stood outside the preschool and softly said, “Mr. Winters, thank you.”

Duke turned to the side slightly and stared at her.

She had an exquisite face, and as the sunset glow shone on her, she seemed to be surrounded by a layer of golden light.

She was wearing a pair of pearl earrings. When the warm sunlight illuminated her side profile, it made her look gentle and charming.

Duke pursed his lips and asked, “Have you felt tired all these years?”

Adina was stunned.

When she was in Brenden’s office earlier, she had revealed all the details of her unpleasant past in front of Duke.

She thought he would pretend as if he had heard nothing.

Unexpectedly, he would ask her about it.

She looked at the preschool and slowly said, “Feeling tired has only been one–millionth of my life in the past few years. It‘s been filled with much more happiness. Alden and Mel are the most wonderful gifts that God has given me.”

Duke did not realize it, but his eyes overflowed with tenderness.

Ring! Ring!

At that moment, the preschool bell rang.

Ava led the children to the lobby and immediately saw the two people in the crowd.
