Duke parked the car, opened the car door, and got out.
He wore an all-black suit, and the hems of his sleeves were embroidered with dark gold thread. They shimmered with each movement, giving off a feeling of elegance and luxury.
He pulled open the passenger side door like a gentleman. “Adee, hop in.”
Adeena did not turn him down. She leaned down and got into the passenger seat.
As she was about to put on the seatbelt, the man suddenly leaned in close and helped her buckle in.
Adeena held her breath and did not dare move.
Duke wanted to laugh.
‘Why is Addy’s nervous face so cute?’
He was afraid that Addy would get angry, so he did not tease her about it. He turned back to the driver’s seat and slowly drove off.
“Adee, have you been to Sea City before?” Duke asked casually as he drove.
He said “Adee” so naturally, as though they were friends who had known each other for a long time... or lovers who had been with each other for a long time...
Adeena turned her head to look out the window, and casually said, “This is my first time in Sea City.”
“Sea City has many tourist attractions. I could show you around this afternoon,” Duke said.
“No, thank you. I have other appointments this afternoon,” Adeena politely declined, turning her head to look at the fleeting scenery outside the window.
She did not know why, but the sense of familiarity came to her again, as though she had taken this route countless times before.
Half an hour later, the car stopped at the door of a mansion halfway up the mountainside.
This was a three-story garden mansion with a swimming pool at the entrance, a garden in the back, a wide courtyard, and a viewing platform, covering an area of more than a thousand square meters.
This was clearly a place only rich people could afford.
Adeena opened the car door and got out. She barely took a step when she noticed that, in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the mansion, stood four eight- or nine-year-old children.
Her eyes suddenly grew wide.
