Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 32

"What's it like to fall in love?" Edward's slender fingers flipped his wine glass rhythmically. He slouched back in his chair and squinted at them with a faint smile.

"Are you serious? Who are you in love with, boss?" Rain was so shocked that he lost his grip on his glass and spilled some cognac, staining his shirt. He wiped it off and stared in disbelief at Edward.

Duke didn't overreact, although he was also shocked by Edward's words. His cold eyes glistened and his mind started turning gears.

"Who can I fall in love with? I'm just curious about it." Edward apparently knew how stunned they were upon hearing his words. He could easily tell from their reaction. And he wanted to keep things light, and maybe not delved too deeply, but the topic was so astonishing that no one would let him go that easily.

"Edward, Just say it. Who are you in love with? Tell us and we can give you some suggestions." Rain was always so interested in that kind of gossip. He would not give up until he got an answer.

"Look at the women around me. What kind of woman do you think I'd fall in love with?" Edward would never let them know his heart, before he knew exactly what kind of feeling it really was. It was impossible for him to expose his feelings to them, even they were his best friend, at least not now.

"Now that you ask this question, I'm sure that you have someone in mind. But I don't know if she's the same one I'm thinking of." Duke said casually and cast a glance at him.

"Well then. It seems that Mr. Duke knows me so well that you even know who I'm thinking about. Should I feel honored?" Edward looked at him with an evil smile. And he became himself again.

"You can't keep this to yourself forever. Let's wait and see how long you can escape from it." Duke was getting angry, because Edward always made fun of him about this, which made him feel weak.

"Could you please involve me in the conversation? Throw me a bone! What is this about?" Rain felt isolated. They didn't care about his existence at all.

"Weren't you there from the start? Try and keep up." Duke rolled his eyes and took his annoyance out on him. Rain was owed a lesson. Every time he gave them the chance to bully him.

So Duke found one more way to call him stupid. 'So if Duke and Edward are always in sync, and not everyone understands them, then maybe there's something going on between them. Like a relationship?' As this thought occurred to Rain, he moved a little further away.
