MADAM WINTERS’S FIGHT FOR HER CHILDREN CHAPTER 1042

Duke carried her and put her down on the couch in the resting lounge.

He knelt down and squatted in front of her. He took off her high heels, and his gaze became intense. “Your heels are broken.”

The high heels had just been bought recently, and this was her first time wearing them. Every time she wore new shoes, they would eat into her ankles slightly, but she was already used to it.

Just as she was about to say she was fine, she blurted out something else, “It hurts a little. Can you help me buy some Band–Aids?”

Duke’s deep eyes were filled with excitement.

Addy, who had been resisting him, had actually asked Material © of .

him to buy her something. Did this mean that they were much closer now?

“Okay, wait for me here. I’ll be back in a minute.”

Duke got up and left the Sales Office.

Adeena sighed in relief.

She bent down and put on her shoes. Then, she grabbed her bag and ran away through the side door.

Yes, she ran away.

If she did not leave now, she doubted that she would be able to leave later.

This man was poisonous. He invaded her mind and turned her into a completely different person.

She could not accept being like that.

Once Adeena left the Sales Office, she got into a cab, and the car instantly disappeared from the entrance.

Right then, Duke had just arrived at a nearby drugstore. When he entered, the surroundings in the drugstore became dull. Whether it was the pharmacist or customers, everyone just looked at him. “Do you have Band–Aids?”

The shop assistant only snapped out of her daze when she heard Duke‘s cold and deep voice. “Yes.... Yes!” The sales assistant immediately took out the Band–Aids. “This is for anti–inflammation, this is water proof, this is relatively cheaper...”

Duke pursed his indifferent lips. “Which is better for a girl‘s feet that have been worn from wearing high heels?”

As soon as he said that, he heard some voices of people who sounded heartbroken in the store.

“This handsome man actually has a girlfriend. How sad!”

“He‘s so handsome , yet he‘s out here buying Band–Aid for his girlfriend. Oh, God! Why isn‘t my boyfriend this considerate?”

“Hey, don‘t you find this man a little familiar?”

“I think he looks familiar too. I feel like I‘ve seen him on TV before.”

“Is he a celebrity?”

“I’d be a fan if there was such a handsome celebrity. I think he‘s not a celebrity.”

“I don‘t care. Let‘s take a photo first in case he‘s an international celebrity.”

A bunch of young girls chatted at the side, while Duke acted as if he did not hear them.

He carefully read the ingredients on the packaging. It was not until he confirmed that it was not harmful in any way that he paid and left.

He took the Band–Aids and walked toward the Sales Office while his smile grew brighter and brighter. He still had some arrangements for later. Aside from taking Addy for a movie, he had arranged a romantic proposal.

When Duke entered the office, he realized that it was empty.

His gaze instantly turned dark.

This was what it felt like on that night four years ago.

“Mr. Winters, Ms. Willis has left.” The manager walked over and carefully said, “I wanted to keep her here at first, but she walked so quickly that I couldn’t catch up.”

He felt the gaze on him getting colder and colder. Just as he thought that he would suffer today, Duke just turned around and left.

The manager sighed in relief as if he had just survived a disaster.

Meanwhile, Adeena was sitting in the cab and looking out the window blankly.
