"Yes, I am quite the simpleton. So would you please tell me how should I address you when you call my mommy 'sis'?" Justin wouldn't give up easily. He was quite confident when it came to debating. After all, he learned from the master - his father.
"Seriously? Sis, what's wrong with your son today? Why does he keep asking stupid questions?" Leena asked as she reached her hand down to feel Justin's forehead. Ignoring Justin's grumpy look, Leena withdrew her hand and touched her face while muttering,
That's strange! You don't have a fever. Why do you keep speaking nonsense?"
"I'm perfectly healthy! You're the one losing your mind!" Justin was completely speechless at Leena's chaotic thoughts. He had decided he'd better team up with his daddy and stay away from her in the future, in case she caught him off-guard again.
"Just ignore her. She needs to be taught a lesson lately." Trying to suppress the urge to burst into laughter, Edward casually comforted his son. Who would believe that Justin could be bested by a girl? 'Leena must be as sly as me! And that's why Justin always treats her like his arch enemy!' Edward was actually quite impressed.
"Edward, I can hear you. I know you're trying to soothe his butthurt, but do you really have to say that out loud? What have I ever done to you? Jeez!" retorted Leena sourly with a pout. His words hurt her feelings.
"What have you done? Do you really have to ask? You drugged Belinda, and you got married without telling us! You tell me whether you deserve to be taught a lesson or not!" Edward narrowed his eyes dangerously. 'Now be careful with your answer.' Edward thought to himself.
"Well... You've made them sound really wrong." Leena would never admit that she did anything wrong. Duke wouldn't be with Belinda so soon if she didn't put something in Belinda's drink. They loved each other, all she did was to speed things up. As for her sudden marriage, Leena would have been exiled to France by her brother if she hadn't married Kevin. Compared to being grounded by his brother in a foreign land, Leena thought marrying someone was a better choice.
"What? She's married? Who's the unlucky guy? Is he blind? Or did she force him with a knife?" Justin gasped loudly while making a gesture of cutting his throat with his fingers. What was wrong with that guy, marrying a troublemaker like Leena? Justin was in awe!
What did you just say? You little brat! Are you looking for trouble?" Leena was furious! Did Justin mean that she was annoying and no one would marry her? She actually had tons of suitors who would be thrilled to marry her!
"Oh, I'm sorry. What I'm trying to say here is how selfless that man is to sacrifice himself and save every other man in the world from the fate of marrying you." Justin smirked as he saw Leena's angry face. Point to Justin! Leena was so furious that her mind was a mess, and she couldn't think of any appropriate retort. She rolled her eyes and directly turned to Daisy for help, "Sis! Look at your son! He's bullying me!"
"Justin, don't be rude to auntie Leena. She is your auntie after all." Daisy put on a serious face and scolded Justin. She would have laughed out loud if she didn't have to save Leena's dignity. These two were really delightful.
Justin's face twitched as Leena made a face at him behind Daisy. He humphed and didn't say anything else. How shameless Leena was to turn to his mommy for help! She did it on purpose because she knew he would never defy his mommy! He swallowed his pride. Justin could only wish that she had married a gorilla.
Right at this moment, hundreds of miles away from the mall, Kevin shuddered all of a sudden. He felt a sudden chill shivering through his spine. How come? Confused, Kevin looked at the roasting sun and wondered if he caught a cold. But he'd been working out and was perfectly healthy. Besides, he didn't feel like he had a cold.
"Don't you get it? Women always team up and cover each other. Don't count on your mommy too much." With a big grin, Edward gently patted his son on the back of his head.
With a pout, Justin held Edward's hand and gloomily followed behind Daisy and Leena. He humphed every now and then and secretly cried out in his mind, 'Evil! Leena is so evil! I don't want to talk to her anymore!'
Leena went to the mall because she wanted to pick up a suit for Kevin for the anniversary party tonight. She wasn't really mad at Justin. How could she be mad at such a cute little boy? She just enjoyed teasing him. Now that he was quiet, Leena felt it was not the good time to start another round with him. She decided to take a break, since Justin's sullen face was also super adorable!
Once again stepping into LN shop, Daisy was surprised to find the style of the collection had changed. It seemed less teenagery and more elegant. The turn was delicate and the two elements emerged well in the new collection of the season. Daisy thought the designer must have experience somr kind of spiritual baptism and matured overnight.
Hello, Mr. Mu and Mrs. Mu. We have some new arrivals of this season. Would you like to try on? The shopping assistant immediately walked up to them and greeted them politely as she saw them step in. It was the same girl that Daisy had met before. She could clearly remember Daisy. How could she ever forget? She used to take Daisy as some poor girl who wouldn't be able to buy even a button in their shoppe.
It's okay. Well just walk around on our own. You don't have to look over our shoulders. Daisy wave her hand at the girl and answered casually. It was Leena who had practically dragged her into this shop. And she made a beeline to the menswear section. Does Leena wants to buy something for Kevin? Daisy secretly wondered.
