Chapter 75

• Upon seeing Adaline, the man spread his arms wide, inviting his wife to come closer and into his embrace. Adaline complied. She walked over and nestled into her husband's embrace. His warm body enveloped hers, providing comfort. Adaline rested her head on her husband's chest, while Altezza gently rubbed her back.
• "Are you tired? Have you had dinner?" Adaline looked up. Altezza nodded in response to both of his wife's questions.
• "I'm sorry, I haven't had much time with you. Just hold on a little longer, my dear. My wife, my children," he said in a deliberately affectionate tone, while caressing Adaline's stomach. "If Antony feels that Gian is ready to be released, I'll bring Duncan with me. Working with Duncan feels easier."
