Chapter 517

Adina felt defeated too.

She sat by the bed before she lifted the lid of the porridge. She spooned up some, put it to the man’s
lips, and calmly said, “Open your mouth.”

Duke opened his mouth obediently.

The bland porridge swirled around on his lips and tongue before he swallowed it.

It was the most delicious porridge that he had ever eaten.

He smiled faintly and slowly said, “I want more.”

“Do you know what you look like now?” Adina looked at him with a faint smile and asked in a
meaningful way.

Duke did not understand. “What do I look like?”

Adina wanted to say “a stray dog,” but she held back.

“You look like Harold,” she said helplessly.

“You’re wrong. He should be the one who looks like me.” Duke did not feel embarrassed at all. “He’s
my son. If he doesn’t look like me, who else could he look like?”

Okay.

Adina could not argue back.

As though she had surrendered to fate, she kept feeding Duke again and again.



That went on until someone else suddenly pushed open the ward door at the back. Soon after, they
heard a frivolous voice. “Oh, wow! We didn’t see anything!”

Trent covered his eyes as soon as he entered and even covered Eilam’s eyes with his other hand.

Eilam had no idea what was happening. He looked dumbfounded as he moved Trent’s hand away
before he saw Adina feeding Duke some porridge.

He immediately turned around. “Please continue! We’re leaving now!”

Adina was speechless.

People who were not in the know might have thought that she and Duke were committing an
unspeakable act!

She stood up indifferently and said, “I’m done feeding him the porridge. You can come in.”

She held the empty food container and left the ward, leaving the space to the three of them. “Well
done, Duke!” Trent clapped. “It’s only been a few days since we last met, but you and Adina have
progressed to this stage? Tell us right now. How did you gel this woman?”

Eilam said, “Can’t you see that Duke’s bedridden? He must have been a hero and saved the beauty!”

Duke smiled faintly.

“What the f*ck?!” Trent shouted as if he had seen a ghost. “We’ve known each other for so many years,
but this is the first time I’ve seen you smile in such an unrestrained way.”

Duke immediately stopped smiling and cast a cold glance at him. “Shut up if you can’t speak properly.”

He paused for a while and said, “Remember to attend my engagement party on the sixth next month.”



Trent appeared completely shocked. “Are you going to get engaged to Adina? What the heck?! You’re
going as fast as a rocket!”

“If they’re really following a rocket’s pace, they should just get married,” Eilam said. “But Duke, can
your sons accept Adina as their stepmother?”

Duke nonchalantly answered, “I forgot to tell you something. Adina and I had a one-night affair five
years ago. We have four children in total.”

“What the f*ck?” Eilam said.

Trent followed with, “What the heck?! What the f*ck?”

It took them five minutes before they could barely accept and digest the news.
