"What's wrong with my manners? Do you have any issues with it? You are my mother. You can't belittle your daughter!" Belinda was irritated. She blamed Duke. 'It is all his fault. Otherwise, my mother won't rebuke me!' Belinda thought.
"Okay. Stop it. We have a guest here. Calm down!" said Zachary. He felt helpless when Belinda and Sherry fought with each other. Women prevailed in this family. he had little say in such matters.
"Guest? Who is the guest?" Belinda said with a sneer. Didn't Duke say that their families were one after the marriage contract came into effect? Then who was her father addressing as a guest?
Duke gently smiled at Belinda's words. As long as Belinda didn't treat him as a guest, it would be easy to proceed. Duke thought.
"Eh. Suit yourself. Certainly, I'm not the guest." After Duke spoke, everyone's attention shifted to him. He felt a little embarrassed.
"Let's eat. The meal is ready." said Sherry. Her eyes got wet. Her daughter has all grown up and was about to leave her. She felt sad about this. But there was someone who would take care of her daughter. Thinking of this, Sherry became less depressed.
"Sis Daisy, can I come to visit the military base?" As soon as Leena finished her meal, she started pestering Daisy. She held Daisy's arms firmly and asked with a soft smile. Daisy felt helpless. 'Oh, this girl is so annoying. She has asked me so many questions since I came back. She has known me for quite some time now, but its difficult to satisfy her curiosity. No wonder Belinda escaped every time she saw Leena. If Leena continued to be so troublesome, I would also want to escape! Let alone the hotheaded Belinda.' Daisy thought.
"Yes, but I wouldn't have time to accompany you." As she was preparing for the military exercises, there were a lot of tasks requiring her attention. So it was impossible for her to entertain Leena at work.
"No problem, just find someone to show me around. By the way, I have never been to a real military base! I am really excited to go there." Leena said with her eyes glowing with excitement. She admired soldiers. And she eagerly wanted to visit the military base if she had the chance. She felt like her dream would come true this time.
"Okay. You can come tomorrow. Or you'll have to wait until the military exercises are over. That would take time." Daisy nodded in approval after thinking for a while. There was nothing unusual in the military base. Perhaps it was because she had stayed there for too long. The military base had already lost its charm to her.
"Mom, have you allowed her to go there? She may create trouble for you. Aren't you worried about that?" Justin was going insane. Leena had pestered him whole day. When his mom finally came back, he expected that he would feel better with his mom. But Leena had been annoying his mother since she came home. Justin was really angry with her. When he heard that Leena would go to the military base, it sounded ridiculous to him.
"Justin, are you jealous of me?" Leena refuted. 'Other people may not know how cunning you are. But I know that you are always pretending to be a delightful boy to deceive others. But this won't work for me. I won't buy it!' Leena thought.
"Huh! I'm jealous of you? What nonsense! I have stayed there for so long that I've become sick of it. Only a village girl like you who hasn't seen much of the world would be curious about that place." Justin said with scorn, regardless of his mother's presence.
