Chapter 890
Chapter 890 Thoughts ran in Adina‘s mind. She forced out a smile and walked to the kitchen with Duke. “Duke, how‘s Earl these days?” she asked as she washed the tomatoes.
Duke was cutting vegetables. “He‘s locked up in the basement. He is being truthful without making too many demands.”
Earl used to make strange requests during the first few days of his confinement. He always tried to escape but was caught every time.
Now, he just answered Duke honestly when interrogated. Perhaps he had accepted the fact that he could not escape.
Adina‘s hands stopped. Duke seemed to be unaware that Earl had escaped.
She looked down. “Duke, I want to speak to Earl.”
Duke stopped what he was doing and looked at her. “Addy, Earl is not easy to deal with. He‘s not going to tell you anything.”
Earl refused to disclose anything regarding the chip database, no matter how hard he forced and coaxed him. Besides, he didn‘t want Addy contacting Earl.
“What are you worried about, honey?” Adina wiped her hands clean. She approached him and wrapped her hands around his neck. “I love you and only you. Do you not believe me? I want to call Earl to ask him about the method for deciphering the chip‘s code. What if he softens up and actually tells me?”
Duke stroked her hair. “Okay, I‘ll call Blake first.”
“It‘s okay. You can do that after we‘ve finished eating.” Adina continued washing the tomatoes while Duke chuckled and shook his head. Together, they prepared two dishes and a pot of soup.
They made a tomato omelet, chili stir–fried pork, and seaweed pork ribs soup, along with two bowls of rice. The food was simple, but it was the most contented dinner they had ever had..
Duke washed the dishes after their meal. After he finished with his chores, he called Blake.
His face was solemn while talking to Blake. His eyes were sharp, and his voice radiated authority.
Who would have guessed a man like that was washing dishes in the kitchen just moments ago?
Adina rested her chin on her palm and stared at him and sighed inwardly.
Once Earl disappears from their life, this comfortable bond would be gone too. Although the bio– intelligent chip in her body was difficult to deal with, they may be able to find a solution for it. But Earl…
Adina sighed bitterly. Even if they were able to capture Earl again and lock him in the dungeon with better security, the man would still find ways to escape. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Earl was just too crafty, and a good man like Duke was no match for him.
‘Unless Earl died…‘
Adina was shocked when the thought popped up in her mind. She wondered when she had become this ruthless. She was actually thinking about murder.
She shook her head to brush her thoughts away. She looked at Duke to see his face darken.
“What did you say?! The guy in the basement is not Earl?!” he yelled. “Ear was replaced! You only found that out after three days?!”
Duke sounded enraged. “Check the surveillance cameras! Check it one by one! You must track down Earl no matter what!”
