It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 113

Surprised, Daisy looked at Belinda's unusually red face. She then said to Duke determinedly:

"Duke, I have a request. Don't hurt her if you don't really like her."

"Don't worry, Daisy. I know what I'm doing." Duke looked at Belinda, only to find she was breathing heavily. He nodded at Daisy and wrapped his arm around Belinda's waist to carry her towards the door. Belinda stumbled because of the drug. Duke had to hold her tighter in case she tripped. When they finally made it to the door, he stopped abruptly and glared at Leena again.

"You're grounded till I decide what to do with you." His cold voice froze Leena. He didn't say anything else; he just carried Belinda out of the room. Duke was furious. As much as he loved his sister, he couldn't forgive her for hurting others.

Startled by his threatening looks, Leena stepped backward out of fear. He must have known what she had done, and he wanted to punish her for that.

Did she regret it? No, she didn't. She convinced herself that she did what she did for her brother's sake. Things wouldn't work out between Duke and Belinda if she didn't intervene. What would happen if Belinda decided to be with someone else before her brother started to ask her out?

Edward once told her that Duke had someone in his heart, someone so special that he could never let anyone else in. But Leena knew that Belinda was different. She was special to him too. Otherwise, he wouldn't tolerate Leena calling Belinda her sister-in-law. Maybe he had already accepted her, but he chose to ignore his true feelings deliberately.

"You've gone too far, missy. Even I can't save you this time." Edward cast a look at the two cuddled figures and slightly shook his head. Hope Duke knew what he was doing.

"Edward, I..." Leena lowered her head and bit her lip nervously. Had she actually done something inexcusable?

Daisy sighed heavily. What's done was done. They could only wait to see how things turn out. She knew Duke. He was a man of honor. If he did something with Belinda, he wouldn't turn his back to her afterwards. He would man up and take the responsibility.

"Come on, Leena. Let's go. They'll be fine." Daisy tried to comfort Leena by gently stroking her head.

"Aren't you mad at me, sis?" Leena tilted her head and gave a curious look at Daisy. She was supposed to be mad at her for what she had done to her best friend. Yet, she wasn't.

"What's done is done. Can everything start over again if I blame you? It can't. So I guess we should just go with the flow. To be honest, I think it could be an opportunity for them to lead their relationship somewhere." Daisy was unexpectedly calm. Edward was surprised to see that there wasn't any emotional upheaval on her face.

Sullenly, Duke carried Belinda into the passenger's side and then fastened the seat belt for her. Clenching his fists silently, he stared at the woman with a mixed feeling rising in his eyes. He then sighed and got into the driver's seat.

"It's... hot..." Belinda muttered. Duke's body temperature was slightly lower than the others. Without his grip, Belinda felt the fire inside of her was burning up again. She tried to find something that could cool her off, but the seat belt wouldn't let her. She kept pulling the seat belt restlessly.

"Hold still for a while." Duke frowned and grabbed her waving hands.
