"I'd like to. And it's all your fault. If you hadn't married him secretly, I wouldn't freeze him out, " Duke said in a very low voice, but Kevin still overheard it. As a soldier, Kevin's senses were razor-sharp.
"Come on! This is old news. Why don't you just let it go?" Leena pursed her lips. It never occurred to her that Duke would always bring this up. How a fully grown man could be so childish was beyond her belief.
"It doesn't matter whether it's old news or hot off the presses. When he talked you into marrying him, he should have thought about that." Duke smiled with a cocky air and gracefully put more food into his mouth. He was a noble man indeed.
"You're impossible. Such an idiot, " Leena pouted. She thought that Duke was too proud and temperamental. Other people wouldn't bear grudges like this. Maybe he had too much free time and had nothing else to think about.
"Claire, just make yourself at home. Feel free to eat any dish you like." Belinda smiled gently at Claire. Belinda was always friendly. Unless someone messed with her, she was always garrulous and loved to make new friends. She preferred to be close to people, so she used Claire's first name, instead of being more formal.
"Okay, thanks for your hospitality." Claire was nonplussed. This was a clearly noble family, and their manners made her arrogance wash away like sandcastles at high tide. These people weren't any ordinary family. And that really blew Claire away. Now she began to look at Leena with new eyes. But why did Leena always keep such a low profile? Leena was a woman from a very rich family r how angry he was, he'd let it pass and forgive her. Belinda fell for this more than once, and Leena almost had everyone wrapped around her little finger, even including Belinda. She easily caved when she saw Leena's beautiful smile, and made some decisions she regretted later.
"Duke, are you just going to stand by and take this? Ugh! Listen to her!" Leena looked at Duke with her pitiful eyes. Although it was true that Edward lavished his affection on her, she knew there was a limit. When it came to Daisy, all bets were off. And right now, Belinda was pushing Leena to side with her and help Daisy. That wasn't going to happen.
"That's for you two to sort out. Leave me out of it." Duke decided that he'd sit this one out. Because if he sided with one of them, the other person would be unhappy. He couldn't win, so he decided to sit back and watch the show.
"Okay, I get it. Nobody loves me." Leena pouted and lowered her head, pretending to be sad. Not dishing up any food for herself, she silently ate the rice in her bowl, looking rather depressed.
