Duke was beaming about the prospect of joining me in Frankfurt for the weekend, but it didn't last long.

His expression fell and he asked, "We have a plan for the next weekend, but what about tonight?"

I didn't want to go to London randomly, no matter what Duke had on his mind. "I'm afraid that without preparations in advance, we might attract unwanted attention. On the other side, if we go further away, it will take time. We can stay here. I will ask my staff to prepare dinner."

"I don't have sleepwear.", Duke said without missing a beat.

My eyes widened in shock at his words. I was not inviting him to stay the night. "You will not need sleepwear."

He arched his handsome eyebrow at me, and I wondered what's going on in his mind.
