"What's wrong with my manners? Do you have any issues with it? You are my mother. You can't belittle your daughter!" Belinda was irritated. She blamed Duke. 'It is all his fault. Otherwise, my mother won't rebuke me!' Belinda thought.
"Okay. Stop it. We have a guest here. Calm down!" said Zachary. He felt helpless when Belinda and Sherry fought with each other. Women prevailed in this family. he had little say in such matters.
"Guest? Who is the guest?" Belinda said with a sneer. Didn't Duke say that their families were one after the marriage contract came into effect? Then who was her father addressing as a guest?
Duke gently smiled at Belinda's words. As long as Belinda didn't treat him as a guest, it would be easy to proceed. Duke thought. "Eh. Suit yourself. Certainly, I'm not the guest." After Duke spoke, everyone's attention shifted to him. He felt a little embarrassed.
"Let's eat. The meal is ready." said Sherry. Her eyes got wet. Her daughter has all grown up and was about to leave her. She felt sad about this. But there was someone who would take care of her daughter. Thinking of this, Sherry became less depressed.
"Sis Daisy, can I come to visit the military base?" As soon as Leena finished her meal, she started pestering Daisy. She held Daisy's arms firmly and asked with a soft smile. Daisy felt helpless. 'Oh, this girl is so annoying. She has asked me so many questions since I came back. She has known me for quite some time now, but its difficult to satisfy her curiosity. No wonder Belinda escaped every time she saw Leena. If Leena continued to be so troublesome, I would also want to escape! Let alone the hotheaded Belinda.' Daisy thought.
"Yes, but I wouldn't have time to accompany you." As she was preparing for the military exercises, there were a lot of tasks requiring her attention. So it was impossible for her to entertain Leena at work.
"No problem, just find someone to show me around. By the way, I have never been to a real military base! I am really excited to go there." Leena said with her eyes glowing with excitement. She admired soldiers. And she eagerly wanted to visit the military base if she had the chance. She felt like her dream would come true this time.
"Okay. You can come tomorrow. Or you'll have to wait until the military exercises are over. That would take time." Daisy nodded in approval after thinking for a while. There was nothing unusual in the military base. Perhaps it was because she had stayed there for too long. The military base had already lost its charm to her.
"Mom, have you allowed her to go there? She may create trouble for you. Aren't you worried about that?" Justin was going insane. Leena had pestered him whole day. When his mom finally came back, he expected that he would feel better with his mom. But Leena had been annoying his mother since she came home. Justin was really angry with her. When he heard that Leena would go to the military base, it sounded ridiculous to him.
"Justin, are you jealous of me?" Leena refuted. 'Other people may not know how cunning you are. But I know that you are always pretending to be a delightful boy to deceive others. But this won't work for me. I won't buy it!' Leena thought.
"Huh! I'm jealous of you? What nonsense! I have stayed there for so long that I've become sick of it. Only a village girl like you who hasn't seen much of the world would be curious about that place." Justin said with scorn, regardless of his mother's presence.
"What? Did you call me a village girl? Justin, do you want me to give you a good beating?" Leena stood up and went at Justin. 'He had the nerve to call me a village girl. I am a fashion designer for world famous brand. Has he ever seen any village girl as fashionable as me?' Leena thought.
"Ah! Daddy, save me! Miss Leena is killing me!" Justin ran towards Edward who was walking downstairs. The strong impact made Edward step back. He was unprepared.
"What are you doing? You are making so much noise!" Edward asked with a frown. But he still opened his arms and hugged Justin.
"Edward, leave us alone. I will teach him a good lesson today. He dared to call me a village girl. Have you ever seen a fashionable village girl like me?" Leena stared hard at Justin who was giggling in Edward's arms. She became more furious. "Justin, did you make Miss Leena angry again? You should not say unpleasant things in her face. If you really think this way, you should keep it in your heart. It's very impolite to talk about other people's shortcomings in their face. Don't do it next time."
Edward looked at Leena's glaring eyes with a smile. But his words made Leena more furious. 'Is he scolding Justin? Or is he fueling the flames?" Leena thought.
"Okay, Edward, I know you are helping Justin to mock me. Sis Daisy, you must help me." Leena stomped and turned to Daisy for help.
"What does this have to do with me?" Daisy sighed, feeling helpless. She looked at Justin and Edward who were smiling slyly. Justin was a small boy; it was okay for him to be a little naughty. But why was Edward contributing to the fuss? Daisy wondered. "Sis Daisy, didn't you see? They are mocking us!" Leena said. Her eyes flashed with a cunning look. Justin was familiar with this look. He wondered what she was up to this time.
"Well, what can I say?" Daisy became interested in the subject upon hearing Leena's words. She wondered how she was involved in this matter.
"Justin said that only village girls would consider going to that place. But sis Daisy, you go to the military base every day. Doesn't that mean that you are also a village girl in their eyes." Leena raised her eyebrow and said it with pride. Huh! You will regret mocking me. I will see how you explain yourself now. Leena thought.
Mom, she is stirring a depute between us! Mom, you are the most beautiful female officer in the troops. How can anyone think you are a rural village girl? Justin realised Leena's as soon as she said it. He immediately explained himself.
Edward, what do you think? Do you also think that I'm a village girl? Initially, Daisy didn't mind what they said about village girls. But to satisfy Leena, she let herself get dragged into this fuss.
