Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 112 I Am Feeling A Little Strange

"No big deal. Just out of carelessness." Belinda avoided Duke's sharp eyes and wondered why he

suddenly became interested in her. She distinctly remembered that he used to dislike her. What made

him change his mind about her now?

"Well. My dear sister-in-law, you shouldn't be too hasty in drinking. Yes, I asked you to drink it up, but I

didn't tell you to gulp it down like that." Leena mumbled as her heart continued to race rapidly.

Belinda gave an angry glare to Leena. In her opinion, it was exactly Leena's expectation. After all, it

was Leena who got her in such an embarrassing situation.

"Son, why don't you eat? You don't like the food?" Edward asked when he saw the disconcerted Justin.

He remembered how Justin loved gourmet food. So why didn't he have any appetite tonight? The food

at this restaurant was not bad. It was palatable!

"I'm alright, dad. I'm just not hungry." Justin raised his head and smiled. But his smile was even bitter

than a crying face. Of course, he had no appetite----there was a time bomb right in front of him,

Belinda. He really wished to go home and stay with Luke. He would rather not see what would follow

next.

In spite of Duke's tight watch, Belinda poured herself another glass of wine and began sipping in order

to evade his overly intent staring.

Leena, on the other hand, looked at her quite hesitantly. Was the drug too strong and effective? She

wished that Belinda would drink more, that way nobody would notice that she had drugged Belinda

through alcohol.

"Daisy, you should have a drink as well." After saying so, Belinda poured half a glass of wine for Daisy,

but just before she handed it to her, the glass was taken away by Edward.

"I will drink it for her." Edward smiled and drank it all up as he didn't want to listen to Luke's droning

when he found Daisy drunk.

Daisy looked at Edward in confusion, not knowing why Edward did this.

"What? You want me to carry you home again? If that's what you want, you can drink as much as

possible. I wouldn't mind carrying you home at all." Edward intentionally shouted. So his words were

heard clearly by all present. Their attention was shifted to Daisy now.

That embarrassed Daisy. She glared at Edward with her beautiful eyes. Well, she may have drunk

more than usual in recent days, but there was no need to announce it in public.

"Mom, when were you carried home by dad? How come I don't know about it?" Justin's statement

made Daisy even more embarrassed. Now her face was as red as blood.

"Well..."

Daisy became quite upset now. Were Edward and Justin trying to make fun of her? If not, then why

were all their words designed to embarrass her?

Belinda found herself getting warmer as she drank more wine. She looked up confusedly--- Is the air

conditioner working or not?

"Belinda, your face looks so red. Are you drunk?" It shouldn't be so. Belinda could always drink a lot.

"I don't know. I feel like I'm boiling and I'm really uncomfortable." Belinda sounded so gentle and sweet

that even she herself was taken aback.

Edward looked at Leena in surprise. Was he right in thinking that Leena had drugged Belinda? Leena

was quite unruly. A moment ago, he thought Leena was trying to get Belinda drunk. He didn't stop her

then because he didn't consider that she would drug Belinda.

Duke didn't notice anything wrong with Belinda. He continued drinking on and off. With his eyes

squinted, he was lost in thought.

If Edward hadn't mentioned that woman, he would have completely forgotten about her. But now as he Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

thought of her, it was like a thousand years had passed.

"Daisy, I am feeling a little strange." Belinda whispered. The heat had shrouded her.

"What's wrong? Are you sick?" Daisy remembered Belinda's shivering moments ago, so she put her

hand on Belinda's forehead to see if she had a fever.

"I don't know. I feel extremely hot." Belinda had a sudden urge to take off all her clothes.

"Belinda, you feel uncomfortable?" Leena was a bit worried now. Her friend had promised her that the

drug was not too strong. Then how did it take effect so quickly? Maybe she was deceived, and the drug

was actually really strong. Then what should she do now?

Edward nudged Duke's arm and whispered in his ear. After his words, Duke hastily looked at Belinda,

his brows knitted. Leena had gone too far this time.

Then he hurriedly walked to Belinda, his face was wearing no expression but coldness.

"Belinda, stand up. I will take you home." Duke threw a glare at the culprit, Leena, and pulled Belinda

up.

"Duke... Belinda... Will she be okay?" Leena asked timidly. She was both concerned and scared now.

"I will deal with you when I come back." Duke wondered if he had doted on Leena too much and

perhaps that's why she was behaving recklessly and improperly. Now she even dared to drug others.

"Duke, I'm okay. I can drive home myself." Belinda felt weird but she didn't want to take his favor, yet

she liked his cold body. She wanted to get closer to him and take in more coolness from him.

"If you don't want to make a fool of yourself in public, you'd better come with me." Duke's eyes grew

darker and colder. Maybe it was due to her rejection, or maybe his care for her.

"Duke, what do you mean? What's the matter with Belinda?" Daisy was totally confused. She held one

of Belinda's hands and wouldn't let go of it.

Duke gestured at Edward and let him explain to Daisy.

Then Edward gracefully and slowly stood up and whispered in Daisy's ears. Even at this urgent

moment, he intentionally let his warm breath caress her cheek and curl her heart. He knew how to

make good use of his charm.
