Edward was shocked to hear what she said. He just came downstairs and found himself being blamed.
"Who said that? Even if my wife is a village girl, she is a beautiful, beautiful village girl." Edward put Justin down and walked towards Daisy. He sat on the sofa beside her. He looked at her playfully and decided to play along with her little game.
"ha ha… But Edward, a beautiful village girl is still a village girl. What's the difference?" Edward tried to get away with it, but Leena wasn't going to buy it.
"Let me tell you what the difference is. A beautiful village girl, like Daisy, is a beauty with brains. And as for the others, they all just goof around and stir up trouble every day." Edward just wanted to coax his wife to end this topic, and he had no qualms about taking Leena as a comparison. He didn't mind that his argument was far-fetched. "Ha ha! Daddy, you are terrific! You're my hero indeed!" Justin said with a broad smile; he was glad about what had happened. Leena wanted to drag this debate further, little did she realize how cunning Edward was.
"Edward, you honestly think I am that kind of girl?" Leena asked in a feeble voice, feeling guilty. The reason she was afraid of going home was that she had just got herself into trouble.
"Exactly. Well, how long are you going to hide? You know what, I just got to know that someone and Belinda have registered their marriage today. Aren't you curious?" Edward glanced around, and naturally, everyone was shocked to hear this, just as he had been when Duke told him the news upstairs.
"What? Are you saying my brother and Belinda are married? Really? As it turns out, calling Belinda my sister-in-law ultimately made her my legal sister-in-law." Leena was so shocked by the news that she forgot about her anger towards Edward's sarcastic comment.
"Are you sure it was your words not your trick that worked?" Said Justin, as he couldn't bear the sight of Leena's smug face. He was always trying to bring her down whenever he got the chance.
"Ha ha… maybe... that helps too." Leena muttered guiltily. She was torn between the idea of going back to verify her accomplishment and the terror of jumping into the fire line of Mr. Cold.
"Are they really married?" Daisy tried to confirm it with her sly husband. Feeling excited she forgot everything that happened earlier.
"Why would I make this up? Duke told me himself." Edward answered with a playful smile. He was a little surprised at how fast Duke had moved; he had thought it would take a bit longer. It seemed he had underestimated the man.
Daisy frowned. She hadn't heard a word from Belinda about this. Was Belinda afraid that she would mock her?
In fact, this was exactly what Belinda was worried about. Not long ago she had declared that it was never going to happen. But now not only did she sleep with him, but she also married him! Belinda was depressed at the thought of how she got tricked into this mess by that despicable man. She was too embarrassed to call Daisy about this.
"Edward, how did Duke sound? Happy? Or still mad at me?" This question was more important to Leena, as it affected her life in many ways. She had to figure things out. "Pretty late to think about this, don't you think? Why don't you take a second to consider the consequence of your actions before you make a move?" Edward glanced at Leena. Although he doted on her, he was not going to indulge her every impulse. A little discipline was much needed.
"I considered! My friend had assured me that it's not strong. That's why I dared to give that drink to Belinda. I didn't know it would go down like that." Leena was depressed. She wouldn't have done it if her friend hadn't promised that it was just a mild aphrodisiac. Her friend had insisted that everything would be fine.
Give her a break. Everything turned out fine, so let's not get bogged down with the details! Daisy couldn't stand Leena's weepy face, and she bailed her out. As for Belinda, she definitely had a thing for Duke, or how could she remain calm after all this happened?
Sis, I knew you are the best! Leena got so excited that she went forward and give Daisy a big kiss, the she defiantly raised her eyebrows at Edward.
The sudden kiss made Daisy freeze a little. She felt slightly awkward. That was too intense.
Ignoring Leena's provocation, Edward frowned, he fetched a tissue and wiped Daisy's face thoroughly. Justin was amuse by this scene. Dad was getting more and more possessive about mom.
Leena rolled her eyes at Edward. It was just a kiss from Leena, not a man. Could he be more dramatic?
