Chapter 944
Public opinion on the Internet gradually subsided, and the night sky slowly turned darker. Adina leaned against the balcony with a laptop on her lap. She was writing codes for her company‘s new project. She always felt the most relaxed whenever she was working.
Woof! Woof! Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
All of a sudden, she heard dogs barking from outside the window. When one dog barked, many of the other dogs in the surrounding area kept barking too. Adina pushed the window open and looked out with a frown. She noticed that a few stray dogs had appeared in the neighborhood out of the blue.
As the dogs‘ barking grew louder, it lit up a fire in her heart. She frowned and felt more irritated.
She saw a knife on the tea table and walked over to pick it up. Right before she threw it, her fingers froze. Those dogs had only been barking for a while, yet she wanted to kill them? Why did she have such a horrible thought?
“Where did these stray dogs come from? Can a few of you shoo the stray dogs away?!”
Downstairs, Mr. Brown ordered the servants to chase the five stray dogs away. Adina finally felt at ease.
Duke pushed the door open and entered the room. When he saw Adina frowning and looking out the window with a cold and profound gaze, his heart subconsciously sank again. He knew that those barking dogs would agitate her. He walked over and softly said, “The weather tonight is great. Let me take you out for a walk.”
Adina could not continue working either. She nodded before she pulled her outfit closer around her body and said, “Okay, let‘s go for a walk.”
The kids were already sleeping. The two of them held hands and went to the courtyard.
The mansion was located halfway up a hill, and there was a man–made park not far from the mansion‘s entrance. When standing at the park‘s fence, one could see half of Sea City.
The stars twinkled, and neon lights spread throughout the city like mountains and rivers. Sea City‘s nightscape was beautiful like that of a never–ending cosmopolitan city. Adina was slightly dazzled as she gazed at it. She touched the fence, and a strange thought suddenly popped up in her head. How beautiful would it be if she jumped down from where she was?
“Addy, let‘s go over there and have a look.”
Duke spoke and interrupted her messy thoughts. The two of them then walked down the winding mountain road. The rich resided in the area, so it was quiet and peaceful. However, luxurious cars would occasionally go in and out.
Duke‘s big palm covered Adina‘s petite hand, and as he held it, he put her hand into his coat pocket.
The night breeze was strong, but Adina felt very warm.
She and Duke had never walked on the street like that before, and she felt really good.
At that moment, a sharp voice broke the night.
“Sean Gardner, how dare you slap me?! Did you just slap me because of this b*tch?”
It was the angry and sorrowful voice of a woman. Adina turned around and looked over. She saw three people standing by the boulevard.
