It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 493

To celebrate Edward's return to home, Cynthia threw him an impromptu party. Only a few close friends, as well as Anna and Aaron, were invited. As soon as the evening fell, the Mu's villa was bustling with noise and excitement.

"Belinda, why is your wedding put off?" Daisy asked softly when Belinda was alone. She somehow sensed that it had something to do with Rachel.

"It's nothing. I have started feeling that we know very little about each other. So I thought it would be wise if we took some time to get to know each other before getting married." Belinda was optimistic. She smiled even when she was talking about such an unfortunate event.

"Come on! I know you. It's about Rachel, isn't it? You're upset that she is back, which means you really care about Duke." Daisy sounded positive. She thought if Belinda hadn't liked Duke, she wouldn't have postponed her wedding just because Rachel suddenly showed up.

"Daisy, have you lost your mind? Why would I care about him? We're together only because Leena set us up. We don't love each other."

Even though Daisy was right, Belinda was too proud to admit her feelings for Duke, which kept growing as the days went by.

"Belinda, did I do it wrong? Is that why you are angry?" A voice asked timidly. It was Leena, who was looking at Belinda while biting her lip and tilting her head. The joy on her face was replaced by gloom.

"Um... Leena, when did you get here? Did you come here alone?" Belinda didn't answer her question. She looked around, but Kevin wasn't there. She frowned and wondered how angry Duke would get if he saw this. It appeared she had already begun to worry about the people Duke cared about no matter how hard she was trying to conceal her feelings for him.

"Yes, I came alone. You haven't answered my question yet." After months of married life with Kevin, Leena gradually realized the importance of love in a marriage. She understood why Belinda was complaining. She felt sorry about what she had done.

"It's too late to talk about right or wrong, isn't it? So don't think about it. If I didn't want to marry your brother, I wouldn't compromise. You know that. If anybody is wrong, it's me. But since I've made my choice, I won't regret it."

Belinda was the kind of person who went through her decisions. Now that she had decided to marry Duke, she considered him hers and wouldn't let him marry someone else, no matter how mad she was at him.

"You are right. We share the same personality in this regard. We stick to our choices. So don't worry about it, Leena. Your brother and Belinda's relationship might be full of twists and turns, but the outcome will be perfect."

Daisy stood up and pulled Leena over so that she could sit beside her. She affectionately stroked her hair which was messed up by the wind probably because the roof of the sports car had been lifted.

"Who shares the same personality with you? I'm not as silly as you. Leena, remember, don't make yourself go through pain for a man like Daisy does. She is a bad example. We Lengs are not like that."

Belinda didn't realize she sounded just like one of the Lengs. Apparently, inside her heart, she had already seen herself as a member of the family, although she kept saying Duke repulsed her.

"So, now you are saying that you are the daughter-in-law of the Lengs? I remember someone just said she needed some time to know each other better." Daisy said. Belinda's remarks had touched her sore spot, but she wasn't offended, because Belinda was telling the truth. Most importantly, Daisy was happy now, so it didn't matter if other people knew about the pain she had gone through to earn her happiness.

"I said the wedding was postponed. I didn't say I had nothing to do with the Leng family. Besides, I have already been tricked into registering for marriage. We're legally married now; I can't undo it. Even if I file for divorce, I'll become a divorcee. I'm too smart to make that mistake."

Belinda carelessly flipped back her curly hair. She certainly didn't want to have the wedding ceremony so early, but she wouldn't give up on Duke and let Rachel get her wish.
