Chapter 93 Don't Call Me Sister-in-law

Duke returned from his reverie and looked in the direction Rain was staring. He saw Edward's gloomy look, and was quite puzzled by what was happening.

"My dear sister-in-law, I am Leena. So tell me how did you meet my big brother." Leena hadn't forgotten about her interrogation and continued to ask Belinda questions. Whether Belinda was Duke's girlfriend or not, she felt she had to help him get her. Then Duke would be too busy dating his girlfriend to lecture her.

Hah! It appeared that Leena was looking out for Duke, but the truth was that she was thinking about her own interests. What a foxy girl Leena was.

"Well... Leena. I am not your brother's girlfriend, just an ordinary acquaintance. You can call me Belinda. But please don't call me sister-in-law ever again, okay?" Belinda knew now what was digging her own grave felt like. Gosh. She was literally living the consequences of her little white lie. And nobody had let her explain her side of the story.

"Okay, my sister-in-law. Can I hang out with you later?" Leena said and gave a flattering smile. Saying okay was one thing, but actually doing so was another. Now she just needed to spend more time with Belinda.

Belinda was speechless after hearing Leena's words. Belinda became so upset that she huddled on the couch. 'Well, Leena had said okay and promised never to call her sister-in-law, but then she just did it again. No one should promise not to do something but then do it anyway. And why hadn't Icy Duke explained the situation to his sister Leena? There is nothing going on between us.' Belinda protested deep down.

Rain now saw through Leena. She had turned out to be a match-maker for Duke. But really, Belinda was in a way a perfect match for Duke, since she was passionate while he was cold. They would make a good couple.

Edward kept drinking with a cold expression. Just when he was about to fill another glass, his hand was grasped tightly by a small cold hand, stopping him from getting more drinks.

He slowly looked in the direction of the small hand. It was Daisy, who was still poised and busy chatting with others. She was so detached, and it felt as if the small hand that gripped his was not hers.

Edward raised his other hand and tried to remove hers, but found Daisy grasping it even tighter. Her strength made Edward smile. Just a moment ago, he thought Daisy didn't care about him. But she had noticed his actions.

Daisy was listening to Leena's talk with Belinda, but she was also paying attention to Edward. When she saw that he kept on drinking, she felt vexed and deliberately ignored him. But when she realized that he had no intention of stopping, she was left with no better choice than to grasp his hand. But she did not look at him because she did not want to draw anyone's attention to him. She just stopped his hand from pouring more alcohol.

Edward saw her hand and put on an evil smile. He was not angry about her interference. He poured the alcohol clumsily with the other hand, and wanted to see what she would do about it.

Their actions were being scrutinized by Rain and Duke. They just pretended not to see. Finally, they knew why Edward suddenly became gloomy and upset -- it was all because of Daisy.

Alas! That was the look of a man falling in love. Though Edward kept insisting that his interest in Daisy was only fleeting, those watching them knew that Edward was really in love. His abnormal behavior was the best proof of this.

Edward raised the glass to his lips. When he was about to sip from it, a small hand snatched it away. Before he knew what was happening, he saw Daisy drink up all of it, throw him a hard look and bang the glass on the table.

The loud noise immediately caught the attention of those around. When she had taken his glass, Edward had frozen for several seconds, stared at her, trying to guess what she would do next. He had thought of hundreds of possibilities, but never considered that she would drink up the wine. That was his wife -- so unique. Her strong personality revealed itself, especially when she got angry.

Rain and Duke were also curious about what Daisy would do with the wine, so they kept a close eye on her. But they never thought that she would take the most direct approach and drink it. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Belinda was too stressed by Leena's insistent questions to notice what was happening around her. But she was quite surprised to see Daisy banging down the glass. Daisy was known to be too poised to get agitated so easily.

Daisy stared at Edward defiantly, without caring about the racket she had created. What the hell! How dare he suddenly become angry at her and, more importantly, drink so much alcohol.

She did not vent her anger easily, but that also did not mean that she had no temper. She was usually hard on others. For him, the man she loved so much, she always made concessions. But it didn't mean that she would tolerate him for creating trouble for no reason. Edward should feel lucky that he was not her soldier, or she would have imposed severe punishment on him.

Edward was astonished by Daisy's actions. He squinted and looked directly into her eyes, his face putting on an evil smile, his fingers rhythmically tapping the table.

Just when everyone thought he would be angry, he smiled and pulled her into his arms. Without the slightest care for what others would think, he passionately kissed Daisy. Then he released his big hands that were holding her.

Edward's kiss did not surprise Duke and Rain, for they knew that he had never cared about etiquette. He always did things as he pleased. The opinions of others meant nothing to him.
