It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 93

Duke returned from his reverie and looked in the direction Rain was staring. He saw Edward's gloomy look, and was quite puzzled by what was happening.

"My dear sister-in-law, I am Leena. So tell me how did you meet my big brother." Leena hadn't forgotten about her interrogation and continued to ask Belinda questions. Whether Belinda was Duke's girlfriend or not, she felt she had to help him get her. Then Duke would be too busy dating his girlfriend to lecture her.

Hah! It appeared that Leena was looking out for Duke, but the truth was that she was thinking about her own interests. What a foxy girl Leena was.

"Well... Leena. I am not your brother's girlfriend, just an ordinary acquaintance. You can call me Belinda. But please don't call me sister-in-law ever again, okay?" Belinda knew now what was digging her own grave felt like. Gosh. She was literally living the consequences of her little white lie. And nobody had let her explain her side of the story.

"Okay, my sister-in-law. Can I hang out with you later?" Leena said and gave a flattering smile. Saying okay was one thing, but actually doing so was another. Now she just needed to spend more time with Belinda.

Belinda was speechless after hearing Leena's words. Belinda became so upset that she huddled on the couch. 'Well, Leena had said okay and promised never to call her sister-in-law, but then she just did it again. No one should promise not to do something but then do it anyway. And why hadn't Icy Duke explained the situation to his sister Leena? There is nothing going on between us.' Belinda protested deep down.

Rain now saw through Leena. She had turned out to be a match-maker for Duke. But really, Belinda was in a way a perfect match for Duke, since she was passionate while he was cold. They would make a good couple.

Edward kept drinking with a cold expression. Just when he was about to fill another glass, his hand was grasped tightly by a small cold hand, stopping him from getting more drinks.

He slowly looked in the direction of the small hand. It was Daisy, who was still poised and busy chatting with others. She was so detached, and it felt as if the small hand that gripped his was not hers.

Edward raised his other hand and tried to remove hers, but found Daisy grasping it even tighter. Her strength made Edward smile. Just a moment ago, he thought Daisy didn't care about him. But she had noticed his actions.

Daisy was listening to Leena's talk with Belinda, but she was also paying attention to Edward. When she saw that he kept on drinking, she felt vexed and deliberately ignored him. But when she realized that he had no intention of stopping, she was left with no better choice than to grasp his hand. But she did not look at him because she did not want to draw anyone's attention to him. She just stopped his hand from pouring more alcohol.
