My Mommy’s Brave Heart

Chapter 554

“Hey, Ms. Daugherty, why’s Mr. Winters here, too?” Serene said as she took Adina‘s arm and pointed at the bar counter.

Adina looked toward where Serene was pointing and a man sitting at the counter. Although it was just his side profile, the silhouette alone confirmed that it was Duke.

‘Didn‘t he go searching for Earley? Why is he here?‘

Adina was about to get up when she realized that Duke was facing an equally familiar figure.

It was a woman with blonde chestnut hair and a deep–set face. A foreigner…

‘Wasn‘t this woman the one who visited Duke at the hospital the other day? I think her name was Catherine, and she‘s a therapist. What are they doing here?‘

Adina‘s doubts disappeared in a flash. She stood up and walked towards them.

“Ms. Daugherty, call Mr. Winters over for a drink with us,” Serene said with a wink.

Although everyone was fearful of Duke’s aura, they were more curious about what he would look like with Adina by his side, even if it meant having to witness public displays of affection.
