It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 711

Watching Duke hurriedly walking away, Rachel bit her lip and clenched her fists. A sinister smile rose to the corner of her mouth and spread across her face. Since Duke was completely unaware of this, he would act passive in the upcoming days.

"Why did you suddenly come here?" Belinda frowned, looking doubtfully at Duke who just pushed the door open and entered her office. She shifted her eyes back to the computer screen full of data.

"I came to bring you lunch. What, you don't want to see me?" Duke unpacked the lunch boxes and placed them on the table. He had called her secretary to get her lunch schedule. He knew that Belinda had asked her secretary to order takeout for her to eat in the office at noon, so he volunteered to bring her lunch.

"I didn't say that. Don't try and stir up trouble between us. It's not good for our relationship." Belinda glanced at him. Although she didn't show it, she was really happy that he had brought her lunch.

"Okay, let's eat now." Aside from Leena, Duke seldom served a woman the way he was doing now. So he knew that his actions made it very clear that he was willing to do such trivial things for Belinda.

"It smells good, what did you bring me?" Belinda stood up as soon as she sniffed the sweet aroma of the dishes. She suddenly felt very hungry.

"These are from the Westin Western Restaurant. I got all your favorite dishes." Duke looked at the dishes on the table in satisfaction. He clapped his hands and smiled gently when he was done setting everything on the table.

"You enjoyed preferential treatment, didn't you?" Belinda narrowed her eyes as she looked at Duke. Westin Western Restaurant never provided takeout food for any customer. It was a marketing tool to make people feel that the food from the restaurant was very precious. As she thought about this, Belinda reached out her hand to take a dessert from the lunch box, only to have Duke pat the back of her hand, gently stopping her.

"Wash your hands first! I never thought that you'd be so careless about your hygiene." Although Duke was scolding her, his tone was affectionate. Even he wasn't aware of his loving manner himself.

"My hands are very clean! I didn't touch anything that I shouldn't touch. In fact, it won't make a difference whether I wash my hands or not. You always like nitpicking!" Belinda pursed her lips. But she still reluctantly walked towards the washroom to wash her hands.

Duke narrowed his eyes at her. What was she implying by saying that? She said that she didn't touch anything she shouldn't touch. Was she implying that he had touched something he shouldn't have?

Belinda grinned at her triumphant reflection in the mirror. She didn't deny that she used the topic of hygiene to test him. As the saying goes, "The wise man knows that he knows nothing, but the fool thinks he knows everything." If Duke thought there was any underlying meaning behind her words, then it meant that he was guilty. Otherwise, he wouldn't find anything wrong with her casual response.

"You seem happy today," Duke teased. He pouted and looked at her smug face with his arms folded in front of his chest.

"No, you're taking it the wrong way. I'm just hungry." Belinda lowered her head and walked past him. Even though she was really happy, she wouldn't tell him so blatantly.

Duke didn't push any further. He smiled and followed her as she walked. His usual cold expression was gentle and soft.

"Take your time. Nobody will take the food away from you." Looking at Belinda hurriedly gobble down the food, Duke frowned and took out a napkin for her. It was obvious that she was really hungry. She left home in a rush this morning without eating breakfast. When he rushed out to check on her, she was already gone. He could only see the faint exhaust smoke coming out from the back of her car.

"You might steal my food. I can't take my time, I'm starving to death. How did you know that I haven't had lunch yet?" Belinda asked as she ate the delicious food. With the way she was wolfing down the food, she didn't look like a graceful lady at all.

"If I want to know something, I'll find out with just one phone call." Duke said with an arrogant smile and sat down beside her. Different from Belinda, he ate slowly and gracefully in silence.
