Chapter 755

When Adina and the children were finished with the grocery shopping, they returned to the mansion.
The children sat in the living room watching cartoons , while Adina went to the kitchen to prepare
dinner. Flint followed her.

"I drove Jasmine away," he said while peeling the beans.

"I’m sorry, Addy. I didn’t pay attention to my spending, so Jasmine used it to find my location.
Fortunately , she didn’t meet you."

"It doesn’t matter even if she meets me." Adina pursed her lips.

"I avoided her because I didn’t want to cause trouble. However, I won’t be so generous if trouble comes
to me. Jasmine is not stupid. She is likely to contact Earl. I tricked Earl, so he will probably come to find
me in person." Flint sneered.

"If he dares to come here, you and Duke can catch him and deal with him."

Adina lowered her head and prepared the ingredients. Duke had lost his memories. It was unlikely that
he would kill someone who looked exactly like him without knowing everything. Even if Duke recovered
his memory, he might not really be able to kill his own brother. It was not easy to deal with Earl. She
had to tread carefully. Seeing that she was in a complicated mood, Flint changed the subject.

"How did it go with the queen?" Adina smiled.

"It went well. Queen Mavice has a daughter, and children are a woman’s weakness. She can easily be
persuaded. I’ll go to Duke tonight or tomorrow morning to tell him about it." Flint shook his head in
disapproval.



"The Hestia Border is getting more chaotic. The subordinates of Elder Maurice have been lurking
around, and you and Isabelle have bad blood from the past. I’m afraid that Isabelle will capture you
before you meet Duke. Just… give him a call."

"I can’t tell him about such confidential matters via the phone. What if someone monitors the
conversation?"

Adina looked grave. No matter how dangerous the Hestia Border was, she had to go.

"Mommy, I can block the monitor ," Alden stood at the kitchen door.

"Give me five minutes."

He turned around, walked to the living room, took out his notebook, and typed on the keyboard, with
George sitting at his side to assist him. In less than five minutes, Alden looked up with a smile on his
face.

"Mommy, you can call Daddy now. I promise that no one other than George and I will know the content
of the call."

"I want to listen too!"

Harold leaned over. "Daddy and Mommy must be cheesy when they call."

He laughed.

Melody tilted her head and tried to hide her smile.

"Will Daddy say, ‘I love you’?"

Adina was speechless. She would ,obviously , talk about serious matters.



How could she be cheesy in such a situation? She dried her hands on her apron and walked to the
balcony to make the call. The call was answered on the first ring.

"Addy?"

"It's me."

Adina went straight to the point.

"The phone monitoring equipment has been blocked, so we can talk freely. I met the queen today, and
she agreed to cooperate. You can arrange for someone to meet the queen tomorrow."

"Let's wait for three days," Duke said slowly.

"I'll send someone to monitor Queen Mavice for three days. If she doesn't meet other forces, it means
she is trustworthy."

Adina nodded. "Be careful. I still need to cook, so I'll hang up?"

"Addy..." the man stopped her. His voice was husky and soft. "Apart from these, don't you have
anything else to say to me?"

Adina's heart pounded when she heard his low voice. She said, nonchalantly, "What else should I
say?"

"Hm... did you... miss me?". The husky voice came from the other end of the phone like an electric
current, and it hit Adina's heart. Adina's ears turned red. She whispered, "No."

"But I missed you."

As soon as Duke said that, the living room burst into an uproar.
