It was not until the warm winter sun shone in from the balcony that Adina and Duke woke up lazily.
It was already 8:00 am. The two of them, who rarely woke up late, had gotten busy the entire night, so
they slept in a little longer.
Just as Adina was about to wake up, Duke wrapped his arms around her waist. “Addy, you should
sleep a little longer. You were exhausted last night.” 1
“Aren‘t you more exhausted?” Adina said without looking shy. “I still have to head to the company and
work today. Don‘t pester me.”
After she said that, she quickly jumped off the bed.
If they continued to lie in bed for a little longer, the man would definitely take advantage of her again.
When Duke saw her running into the bathroom, he subconsciously chuckled.

the window, his eyes were full of warmth.
Once he finished his work this quarter, he would take Addy to the south for winter break.
After Adina and Duke got ready, they went downstairs . The children had already gone to preschool.
Following breakfast, Duke drove Adina to LaStar Technology Corporation and stopped downstairs.
“I‘ll come and pick you up after work in the evening. Remember to wait for me.”
Adina kissed him on the lips. “Okay, I‘ll wait for you.”
She carried a small leather bag and walked into the office building in her high heels. Ever since she
came back from abroad, she had not been to the company much. She needed to slowly take care of
the work that had accumulated for nearly a month.
Luckily, Serene was a capable and self–driven assistant. She would handle all the trivial matters, so the
remaining work was the big projects that were more important and involved a higher amount of funds.
Adina flipped through the project documents that had piled up. Most of them were existing problems left
from Daugherty Corporation, so she did not blame Serene for not handling them separately. She drank
some coffee as she worked, and time passed by silently.
“Ms. Daugherty, a man is here to see you. His family name is Gardner, and he says he‘s your cousin–
in–law.”
Serene knocked on the office door, walked in, and reported.
Adina was a little stunned. It took her a while to recall who this cousin–in–law was.
When she was about 17, she attended Sophia‘s wedding, and that was the only time that she had met
this cousin in–law.
Did this cousin –in–law come to look for trouble because she slapped Sophia in public yesterday?
However, was Sean not on good terms with Sophia? She heard that he had even openly brought his
mistress back to the Gardner family‘s home once. How could such a man come and stand up for his

Adina frowned and nonchalantly said, “Ask him to wait in the meeting room.”
She wanted to see what Sean was going to do.
Serene brought him to the meeting room, and Adina took her sweet time as she walked to the meeting
room ten minutes later.
When she showed up, Sean, who was sitting on the couch, immediately stood up. He went forward
with a smile.“ Addy, we finally meet.” Adina raised her eyebrows slightly. “Mr. Gardner, you should know
my relationship with Sophia. I find it hard to respond to you if you call me ‘Addy.‘”
“Why do you say that, Addy? Our kinship can never be cut off,” Sean said with a smile. “I purposely
came here today to apologize on Sophia‘s behalf. She said a lot of things that offended you last night, I
already taught her a lesson at home, so she won‘t offend you again.”
As Sean spoke, he picked up a gift box. “I personally chose this gift for you as an apology. Please
accept it, Addy.”
