Chapter 481

Yet she continued to make up lies. “A coworker bought some spicy grilled fish this afternoon and
shared it with us. It was quite good. I had two pieces in a row. As a result, my lips became swollen.”

Alden fastened his seatbelt and said, “Don’t eat too much spicy food next time, Mommy. It’s bad for
your stomach, and it may cause acne.”

“Alright. I got it. I won’t eat it anymore.”

Adina clenched her teeth to herself. If Duke kissed her without her permission again, she would slap
him.She would not let it happen again!

“Mommy, is that a tattoo on your collarbone?”

Alden paused for a second and suddenly asked.

Adina knew that she could not keep it hidden from him for long. She smiled tenderly and said, “Yes, I
got it with my coworker. What do you think? Does it look pretty ?”

“It’s quite nice, very artistic.”

Alden said nonchalantly. Somehow, the design of the tattoo looked very familiar to him. He felt like he
had seen a signature with this style of design before.

He thought about it for a moment. He could not recall where he had seen it from, so he set it aside.

Adina’s car drove slowly away from the gate of the preschool. When she reached the fork in the road,
she stopped for a moment and then turned right. Melody was looking out the window. Seeing that she
had turned right, the little girl could not help but say,“ Mommy, you took the wrong turn.”



“No, I didn’t,” Adina said as she gripped the steering wheel. “We are making dinner in our house today.
Al, call Georgie and Hal, and tell them to come to our house for dinner.”

After what happened today, she did not know how to face that man. Perhaps it was better that they did
not see each other for the time being

Alden nodded obediently and took out his phone to call them.

Duke was driving home. As he passed a florist, he went in and bought a bouquet of lilies.

This was his first time buying flowers. As he gazed at the bouquet of flowers on the passenger seat, he
somehow felt nervous.

When he arrived at the villa, he parked the car in the garage and walked into the villa with the lilies.

Mr. Brown came to greet him. “This bouquet of lilies is so beautiful. Should I put it in the living room or
in your room, sir?”

Duke was speechless.

Could he not see that he had bought this to give it to someone?

However, Mr. Brown had already brought over a vase filled with water. “We can put the lilies in this
clear vase. Give me the flowers, sir.”
