"Hello" Daisy nodded at Duke with a gentle smile. She didn't mind that Edward put his arm around her waist. Just let it be, she thought. She realized that she loved him, and it was unnecessary to hide it. Besides, she also enjoyed the tender feeling of being held by him.
"Mr Duke, when did you get married? Why didn't you ask me to be the flower boy at your wedding ceremony?" Justin was determined to know the answer. He shoved Leena aside and jumped into Duke's arms.
Leena was displeased when Justin pushed her. But she decided to forgive him as she felt Justin had asked an excellent question. It was important to bring Belinda and Duke together.
"Do you want to be a flower boy? Well, when I get married, I will ask you to be my flower boy. You have my word." Duke didn't answer Justin's question accurately. He was smart to skip the main point. He only replied to the part that concerned Justin.
"Okay! Mr. Duke, you'd better get married as soon as possible. I can't wait any longer to be your flower boy. In a few years, I would be too old to be a flower boy." Justin said in an innocent voice with his head tilted gracefully.
"Justin, you don't have to worry about this. Because your wish will come true very soon!" Leena said. Her eyes were glowing with evasive looks. She insured Justin with full confidence. She felt that Belinda and Duke just needed a little push. But she didn't know what would happen to her if they came to know about her plan. Would Belinda boil her in a pan if her plan was brought to light? Leena thought.
Justin helplessly sighed in his heart. 'Ah! Who would be Miss Leena's prey this time? I'm sure this time it won't be me.'
Duke squinted at Belinda. There was a sneaky expression in his eyes.
Daisy looked at Edward dubiously; she was wondering what Leena was implying. Maybe Edward knew.
Edward smiled and shook his head at Daisy. It seemed that Daisy had regarded him as Doctor-Know-It-All who could answer any question. In fact, he was equally confused.
"Really? Miss Leena." Justin asked. As he thought that he was not the object of her plot this time, he felt free to ask her any questions. He really wanted to know more about this.
"Of course it's true. But I need your help, too." Leena said to Justin with a flattering smile. As her smile grew more cunning, her words started making Justin uneasy. 'Could I take back what I said just now? What does this have to do with me? I'm a good boy. Don't deceive me.' Justin thought.
"Emm... Miss Leena, I believe you got it wrong. I don't think that I can be of any help to you." Justin mumbled, hoping that Leena would change her mind and leave him alone.
"Hurry up, get in the car! What are you doing?" Edward urged with a frown. Although the sun had already sunk, he still could not stand the scorching heat.
"Edward, Justin will be in our car! you can go ahead." Leena said to Edward with a flattering smile. She hauled Justin who was about to escape and forced him into Duke's car.
