Chapter 92 This Is My Future Sister-in-law
"First, let's just go inside the box." Edward didn't like the way other men were looking at Daisy. So he pulled Daisy back in his arms, disregarding Belinda's plaintive look. Well, Daisy was his wife. Of course, he should be the one holding her. He had loaned Daisy to Belinda just because of carelessness.
Belinda didn't notice Edward's action until he grabbed Daisy back. Her eyes widened in surprise. She couldn't believe that Edward was together with Daisy. How had she not heard of it? Edward had addressed another woman intimately just several days ago. Maybe he was playing the dangerous game of two-timing?
"Miss Belinda, wait." The man, after being invisible all this while, finally found his chance to chip in.
"What's the matter?" Belinda had almost forgotten about the man. She frowned and asked with a voice laced with boredom.
"Do you really have a boyfriend?" The man asked diffidently, because the men besides Belinda were all so above-average and handsome.
"Of course. I don't need to find a fake boyfriend. Right? Duke." Then she nudged Duke, who was standing close to her, and kept winking at him. Well, she was faking it, but so what? There was no law against getting a fake boyfriend.
Then Duke saw a live example of blatantly lying through one's teeth. That was exactly what Belinda was doing. It turned out that she was just using him as an excuse to get out of a date. He threw a cold look at the man. Then, without a word, he grabbed Belinda's hand, turned around and walked away, giving the man no chance to ask any more questions.
Belinda didn't see this coming, so the moment Duke grabbed her hand, she was a bit at loss. That was the first time she had interlocked her fingers with a man's. Till she felt the warmth from his palm, she
would never have imagined that such warmth could come from a man so cold.
'They are really seeing each other.' Rain pondered on this, his eyes foxy and cunning. Maybe Duke was really in love. After all, he had never seen Duke being so intimate with any woman before. But now he had held Belinda's hand and gone off. That showed clearly how he felt.
"Hey. Dude, I don't think you stand a chance there. You should just come back." Rain smiled charmingly at the frozen man, waved him goodbye and followed in Duke's steps.
Duke was also a bit confused by his own actions. He disliked bossy women like Belinda. But why did he help her this time? And when she threw herself into his arms, instead of feeling uncomfortable, he had felt happy. That had never happened before.
After several days of getting along, Daisy gradually got accustomed to Edward's intimacy. But she still felt embarrassed of being intimate in public. Yet, she didn't reject him because she did not want Edward to lose face in public.
"Belinda is Duke's girlfriend?" Daisy asked Edward in a low voice. She turned around and looked at them curiously.
"She is about to be." Edward answered, while grinding his teeth. His hand, which was holding Daisy, became tighter. His face turned evil.
"Edward, what's wrong with you?" Daisy frowned and complained, after feeling the pressure from his hand. She wondered if Edward was a bit crazy now. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
But her "Edward" vexed him. She should call him "darling". Why did she address the others in the same way as she did to him?
Without saying anything, Edward went into the box. He did not cast another look at Daisy, but poured himself a glass of cool spirits and gulped it down. Instantly, his throat felt cold and hot. Then he glanced at Daisy coldly, but still remained silent.
Daisy looked at him, a bit worried. She didn't know why Edward had suddenly become angry.
"So, Duke, is this my future sister-in-law?" Leena asked eagerly after seeing Duke come in. She stared intently at Belinda. Wow, she must be something to capture Mr. Cold's heart. After all, he had never let any woman get close to him, let alone hold a woman's hand.
"Well... Well... It's not what you think." Belinda hastily removed her hand from Duke's big hand. OMG. She would rather die than have Icy Duke as her boyfriend. Being with an icy man the entire day would anyway crush her.
Duke didn't explain, but walked over and sat down. He had to give some serious thought to his abnormal behavior.
"It's just what I think. My dear sister-in-law." Leena put on a big smile. Screw it, she had just called Belinda sister-in-law.
Leena's words startled Duke and he spit out the alcohol he had just drunk. He coughed to cover his embarrassment and chose to ignore Leena's curiosity about Belinda.
That way, Belinda could experience first-hand what digging a grave for herself felt like. She looked at Daisy hoping to be rescued. Daisy thought in her mind, 'It's just a misunderstanding. Leena shouldn't overthink it." If she continues to ask and fantasize about it, she could even get Belinda pregnant in her mind.'
"Leena, come here and sit with me." Daisy didn't know what was going on between Belinda and Duke. But since Belinda needed her help, she would give her a hand. Besides, she may not know much about Leena, but she was aware of how curious Leena could be. She would ask Belinda even more intrusive questions if she was allowed to continue.
"Belinda, my sister-in-law. Let's go and sit with Daisy." Then, without waiting for her consent, she dragged Belinda over to where Daisy was.
Rain was the last to come inside. He glanced around and found the atmosphere to be quite strange. Edward wore a gloomy and dark expression, sullenly sipping the wine alone. He seemed angry. He exuded coldness.
On the other hand, Icy Duke wore a poker face as always. But the three women seemed quite harmonious together. It seemed they hadn't noticed the weird atmosphere there.
Confused, he walked to Duke, sat down, nudged him and gestured towards Edward, asking silently what the matter was with him.
