Chapter 862 Duke laughed. “Go to bed. Take a nap. I’ll put you to bed.” “I’m not Melody. Why do I even
need youto put me to bed?” Adina snorted.
But he looked at her so tenderly that she could not resist.
She leaned against his chest., “Do continue your work.
I’ll read some books, instead.
Reading does make me sleepy.” Duke nodded.
He wrapped his arm around her waist and tapped the keyboard with the other.
Adina could not stand reading any more of the books.

She saw something that shocked her.
She wondered how she had made the headlines yet again.
