"I'd like to. And it's all your fault. If you hadn't married him secretly, I wouldn't freeze him out," Duke said in a very low voice, but Kevin still overheard it. As a soldier, Kevin's senses were razor-sharp.
"Come on! This is old news. Why don't you just let it go?" Leena pursed her lips. It never occurred to her that Duke would always bring this up. How a fully grown man could be so childish was beyond her belief.
"It doesn't matter whether it's old news or hot off the presses. When he talked you into marrying him, he should have thought about that." Duke smiled with a cocky air and gracefully put more food into his mouth. He was a noble man indeed.
"You're impossible. Such an idiot," Leena pouted. She thought that Duke was too proud and temperamental. Other people wouldn't bear grudges like this. Maybe he had too much free time and had nothing else to think about.
"Claire, just make yourself at home. Feel free to eat any dish you like." Belinda smiled gently at Claire. Belinda was always friendly. Unless someone messed with her, she was always garrulous and loved to make new friends. She preferred to be close to people, so she used Claire's first name, instead of being more formal.
"Okay, thanks for your hospitality." Claire was nonplussed. This was a clearly noble family, and their manners made her arrogance wash away like sandcastles at high tide. These people weren't any ordinary family. And that really blew Claire away. Now she began to look at Leena with new eyes. But why did Leena always keep such a low profile? Leena was a woman from a very rich family, but why she never mentioned this at all. Even though Claire assumed that she was poor. Why didn't she speak up and tell her this?
"Hey Kevin, how's Daisy? I've been so busy recently that we haven't had the time to get together. We still call and text, but I want to make sure Edward is treating her right," She took the chance to ask Kevin about Daisy's recent condition. She really lived up to the title of BFF.
"She's fine, She's vigorous and energetic, just like always." This was true. It was not like she was the worse for wear. Her skill in fighting hadn't diminished any, and she was as strong and fast as ever. Edward probably made sure she ate right, which was a good thing. Kevin felt happy thinking about this. No matter what, he would always care for Daisy.
"Belinda, be careful saying that stuff. Edward doesn't take crap from anyone. He'd probably tank your company if he knew you said that." Leena knew what Edward was like. He was vengeful, and it could go badly for you if he was offended. Even if it happened long ago, he'd never forget. He never lost, and made sure of that.
