Chapter 502

Duke resembled Harold a lot at that moment. He actually looked cute. Wait, what the heck?! Did she
actually think Mr. Winters, the CEO, was cute?

Meanwhile, Duke felt extremely upset. He had prepared greatly for his confession, but an accident
happened unexpectedly. In fact, even without this accident, his confession was also a failure because
he had apparently blurted everything out last night.

Plus, he could not remember what he had done and said the night before.

“Duke , you better lie down and rest. We can talk about this after you recover.”

Adina raised her hand and tucked him in.

Even though she already had an answer for him, she did not know how to say it.

She had four kids, but this was the first time that a man had confessed to her in person.

It took all of her strength to fake indifference when she tucked him under the blanket.

“No, I’m not done talking.”

Duke grabbed her wrist from the back.

Even if his confession was destined to fail, he still wanted to say what he wanted.

“Addy, I love you not because you’re the mother of my children, but because of who you are.”

Adina pursed her pink lips.

How could she not know that?



This man used to think that Dew was the boys’ mother, but he refused to marry her.

This time, Adina turned out to be the children’s mother, and he could not wait to confess to her.

“That night five years ago was my first time sleeping with a woman. I tried to look for you after that, but
I couldn’t find any news about you. It wasn’t until five years later that I discovered you had gotten
locked up in the Daugherty family’s warehouse after that night. You were pregnant with our kids and
held captive in that warehouse for eight months. Addy, it’s all my fault.

“If I were given another chance , I would want our first time to be a clean start. I would also hope that
our kids come to the world when everyone is expecting them. I would even hope that you become my
wife before you become my children’s mother.

“You said that I had a low IQ. Yes, I thought I had a high IQ, but I actually made such a silly mistake on
such an important matter. I was actually fooled by Dew Daugherty for four years. If I had been more
careful and had paid more attention four years ago… if I had been more responsible toward the boys, I
wouldn’t have allowed that vicious b*tch, Dew, to be with the boys for four years. I’ve wronged George
and Harold , and I can never deny that.

“But Addy, I never touched Dew at all over the past four years.”

Duke’s gaze was dark and deep like the late night sky.

“Addy, I love you. I want you to be my wife. I hope our family of six can live happily together after
parting for four years.”

As he spoke, he tried to touch his shirt pocket out of reflex, but he felt nothing.

He only realized that he was wearing a hospital gown after he lowered his head and looked down.



He was momentarily stunned before he asked, “Addy, where’s my suit?”

“That shirt was full of blood and extremely dirty, so I threw it into the trash,” Adina said in a low and
husky voice.

No woman could still act as if nothing had happened after listening to such a long confession.

She was just a normal woman, and her heart melted from his gentle and thoughtful actions repeatedly.

Perhaps their family of six could really live happily together.

While Adina thought of how she should answer, she saw the bedridden man jump up all of a sudden.
He was hooked to an IV, so he nearly pulled the needle out.

Adina frowned. “Why are you getting up? Lie back down!”

“I have to look for my shirt.”

Duke wanted to pull the needle out, but Adina pressed him down by force. “I’ll go and look for it. You
better lie down and stop moving!” she said helplessly. She did not understand. Was the shirt that
important?
