"Luke, take me to Sexy World," Edward said. His eyes were still closed. His voice became a little hoarse. He lost his usual charming manner and his soul seemed to have wandered out of his body. It was heartbreaking for anyone to see him like this.
Mr. Mu, maybe It would be better to go back home and have a good rest," said Luke. He knew once Edward went to Sexy World, he would get himself drunk. So Luke was a little worried about Edward's health.
"Take me to Sexy World. I need to be drunk," said Edward. He took out his cellphone and unlocked the screen. When he saw Daisy's photo on the screen, his heart ached. He smiled bitterly and then dialed a number. He waited for the person to pick up the phone.
"Hello! Edward. What's up?" Duke answered doubtfully. Didn't they meet today already? 'What happened?' Duke wondered.
"Let's have a drink!" said Edward. He leaned against his seat and narrowed his eyes. That look seemed attractive with a touch of decadence.
"A drink? What happened to you?" asked Duke. He glanced at Belinda who had been sleeping from afternoon till now. He had planned to take her out for dinner. Although it was kind of late for dinner, they could still have a midnight snack.
"Yes. Come over! Take Rain and Tom too," said Edward. He rubbed his forehead to ease his headache. 'Jessica, I told you don't irritate me. I didn't expect that you wouldn't listen. That's fine. But you have done such an unforgivable thing to me. It seems that if I don't punish the Lin Group, no one will be held responsible for the agony my wife has suffered today, .' Edward thought.
"Okay See you at Sexy World!" Duke hung up the phone and looked at Belinda, apologetically. He showed a gentle smile which was rare to be seen on his face and walked gracefully over to Belinda. Looking at Duke's charming manner, Belinda was a little scared. 'Is he crazy? I have been tortured by him the whole afternoon, and I can't stand any more sex, ' Belinda thought.
"Honey, we are going to Sexy World tonight, do you want to go with me?" asked Duke. He bent down and lifted a lock of her hair. He circled her hair around his fingers playfully. When he noticed the love marks on her neck, he smiled with satisfaction.
"To the Sexy World? Will Daisy be there?" asked Belinda. She heard that Duke said "Edward" during the call, so she wondered whether Daisy would come with him. Her face blushed when he called her 'Honey". It made her feel so strange.
"Oh! I'm not sure. Probably. You know that Edward loves her so much. He wouldn't leave her alone at home while enjoying himself on a night out. I think it's safe to say yes," said Duke. In Duke's eyes, Edward had never cared so much about a woman except Daisy. Daisy was so lucky, so he assumed that Edward would also bring Daisy to Sexy World.
"Okay. Go wait outside. I need to change." Belinda moved her neck to free her hairs from his hand.
"Don't be shy. Are there any parts on your body that I haven't seen? Huh?" said Duke while narrowing his dangerous eyes. 'She dared ask me out. We are married. It's a fact. Doesn't she realize it? Thought Duke.
"I'm not used to changing clothes in front of other people. So please wait outside," said Belinda. She stared at him with a little irritation. 'He's so sensitive. I'm surprised that he would become angry over such a trifling thing. It seems like he can't remain calm for long. That's not a way to make a good impression on me, ' thought Belinda.
"But it's in front of me, not other people. I'm your legit husband," said Duke. He took back his hand, straightened up and showed a cunning smile. 'She always seems so domineering. It surprises me that she would act so politely and gently to me, ' Duke thought.
"Huh! Cool story bro. Who knows whether you're legit or not?" Belinda murmured. She remembered he married her when she was unconscious, so she wasn't sure if their marriage really counted.
"What did you say?" asked Duke. He suddenly bent down and gazed at Belinda who thought he hadn't heard what she said. She had never gotten past the fact that she was set up, that their marriage was imposed on her when she was senseless.
"Did I say anything? You must have misheard. Maybe you need your ears checked," said Belinda who tried to let it pass. 'Huh! He has a sharp ear.' Belinda thought.
"Belinda, are you kidding me? Ears checked? Do you think I'm an old man?" said Duke. His face became colder. He found that when going up against Belinda, he should be more domineering than her, otherwise she would ride roughshod over him.
"Huh! You're standing right in front me! It's impossible for me to imagine you're old. But aren't we going out? If we continue arguing about this, we'll be late," said Belinda. She was used to his cold demeanor. So she didn't feel scared when he became very angry. She was not intimidated by his threats, he was only a paper tiger to her.
"I'm waiting on you. You're the one who is delaying everything," said Duke. At the same time, he realized that Belinda had seen though him. It seemed his threats would not work on her.
"But you insist on staying in the room, and now you're blaming all this on me!" said Belinda. She just realized the meaning of the phrase "a beast in human form". It referred to the man right before her. Moments ago, they were sleeping together, both naked. But quick as a flash, he had dressed himself neatly before her, looking spirited, while she was still naked on the bed. Women and men could never be equal in some aspects, Belinda thought.
Because of all this drama, when they arrived at Sexy World, their party had already started. Annie, who was pretty drunk the other night was also there.
"Belinda, It's been too long. We need to see each other more often. It seems that you and the cold Duke are so in love," teased Rain with a playful smile when he saw them come in.
"Huh! Has it been that long? Didn't we see each other the day before yesterday? Or do you need to take medicine to help you remember things more clearly?" joked Belinda. She was always very harsh verbally. She didn't take teasing easily, and she wouldn't stand to lose in a war of words. She would never bow down on such occasions.
"Oh! No! Ah, my mouth sometimes gets away from me. Did I make a mistake by saying that you're in love?" said Rain with a pretended expression of grievance. He tried to make things brighter with his banter. Edward had been drinking since he got here. But Edward wouldn't tell them what happened, so he could only stay silent.
"Edward, take it slowly. It's not good for your health if you continue drinking like this," said Tom
