Chapter 504

However, she was fiddling with her fingers now. She lowered her head, and her lashes kept trembling.
“I was too eager.”

Duke slowly spoke and broke the silence in the ward.

“It’s okay if we don’t get married first, but can we be engaged?” “Engaged?”

Adina looked surprised as she raised her head.

“Yes, engaged.” Duke stared at her affectionately.” You’re too outstanding. Many men in Sea City have
their one day.”

When Adina saw the way he looked, she suddenly felt conflicted.

This man had the top status and all the women in Sea City wanted to marry him, yet he had such low
self-esteem.

He would only show his vulnerable side in front of someone he was deeply in love with, right?

Adina quietly stared at him while she slowly answered,” Okay.”

“Did you just agree?”

Duke’s eyes instantly lit up. He could not control himself, raising his arm to pull the woman into his
embrace.

However, as he raised his arm, it was pulled back by the infusion tube.

Suddenly, the infusion tube seemed to be in his way, and he wanted to get rid of the needle.



Adina frowned. “Don’t remove the needle. Lie down, and don’t move.”

How could Duke lay down?

He desperately wanted to hold Adina in his arms, kiss her lips hard, and feel her against his body.

His gaze made it so obvious that Adina sensed his aggressive and possessive feelings without
obstruction.

Adina took a step back in fear.

Why did she feel that this man desperately confessed to her because he wanted her body?

Could she still go back on her word now?

“It’s getting late. Hurry up and rest. I’ll go out and get some water.”

Adina turned around and left the ward.

“Did you just agree?”

Duke’s eyes instantly lit up.

He could not control himself, raising his arm to pull the woman into his embrace.

Adina turned around and left the ward.

When Duke saw her back as she ran away, he could not help but chuckle.

He had been hung up on her for many days, but his heart could finally settle down at long last.

She was finally his fiancee.

The only problem he needed to consider now was when his injury would recover.

Adina kept him company in the ward for a night. It was very quiet, but her heart was full of complicated
emotions, so she could not sleep well.

She woke up before sunrise.

Right after she exited the restroom, she saw Duke staring at her with his bright, black eyes. They were
full of light and happiness.

Her heart pounded quickly.

She walked over and tried to remain calm as she asked,” Do you feel unwell? Should I call the doctor
over to check on you?”



“Good morning, my fiancee,” Duke stared at her and slowly said that.

The word broke the calmness that Adina had faked, and her ears instantly turned red.

Duke reached out to grab her wrist and pull her over with great force.

Adina was caught off guard, and she fell over into the man’s arms.

She was so embarrassed that her face turned completely red.

“Duke Winters, let go of me. Don’t mess with me!”

How could Duke let go of her that easily?

He had held himself back for a night. The infusion of the several bottles of IV was done by the time it
was almost sunrise, hence his hands were also free.He could finally hold his fiancee in his arms. Right
then, they heard someone knocking on the door.
