"You should ask Leena." Belinda narrowed her eyes and looked at Leena, smiling playfully. This expression sent a shiver down Leena's spine.
"Ask me? Why? How would I know what happened between you?" Leena was confused. She wondered why it had anything to do with her.
"Rachel. Does that name sound familiar to you?" Belinda sneered. That was why she brought Leena with her. She didn't know much about Duke's past before they met. But Leena had been around him the whole time.
"What? Why did you suddenly bring her up? Hasn't she been married since a long time ago?" Leena looked at Belinda and Daisy, dumbfounded. In fact, she didn't like Rachel. When Rachel was with Duke before, Leena even used to play tricks on her because she thought Rachel had stolen her brother from her. But later she heard that Rachel abandoned Duke and ran off with a rich guy. And she hadn't seen her since. But why did Belinda suddenly bring her up?
"What did you say? She already got married?" Belinda frowned. It was impossible. If that woman was really married, why would she come to pester Duke now? Or did she want him to start up an extra marital affair, Belinda wondered.
"Yes, she did. I remember my brother felt very sad when this happened and had been depressed for a long time. But he eventually recovered from the heartbreak and continued to live his life." Leena's words made Belinda sad. Didn't he say that it was not love? If so, why would he have felt heartbroken?
So what you're telling me is that your brother really liked her a lot!" Belinda asked tentatively, narrowing her eyes. She looked at Leena as if Leena was a little rabbit approaching the hunter's trap.
Who said anything like that? He was frustrated because he didn't want it to end like that. I think, it was more like a friendship than a love relationship, just judging from the way they got along with each other, I had never seen him be affectionate towards her like a lover should be." Leena smiled slyly. She almost fell into Belinda's trap. But she was quick to realize Belinda's trick, otherwise Duke would be really angry. But what she told Belinda was true. She really thought that woman had never loved her brother, and Duke's attitude towards her was not very passionate or indifferent. That was why she always felt their relationship was a mystery.
"So do you think that Rachel is trying to start trouble with you now?" Daisy frowned, although she simply talked to that woman last time, she felt that this woman was not easy to deal with. Rachel was much like Jessica, they belonged to the same tribe.
"Do you also know Rachel?" Belinda looked at Daisy with surprise. Was she the only one who didn't know this woman? Belinda wondered.
"Yes, I ran across her in a restaurant a while back. But Edward said that whatever she and Duke had was in the past, And it slipped my mind because of busy work. So I forgot to mention this to you. It didn't seem important."
Daisy looked at Belinda, a little apologetically. But she felt that Rachel shouldn't be a threat to their relationship. Sometimes a man would take his ex back, but she abandoned him. Duke was a mature and prudent man -- he wouldn't fall into that trap.
"In the past? I don't believe it. She's totally in his life now. She got a job in the company, what will she do next? Maybe hang out in the house?" Belinda smiled bitterly. Although she knew there was a woman in his past, she didn't think too much about it. Even though they broke up, they could still be friends. Belinda was quite open to it. There were no rules that two people could only be enemies after they ended a relationship. But when she saw Rachel snuggle in Duke's arms happily yesterday, she was stung by Rachel's provocative expression. Only then did she realize that she had unwittingly developed a special feeling towards Duke that she didn't know how to describe.
What do you mean? Is she working in Duke's company?" Leena suddenly got nervous, that shouldn't have happened. How could Duke let her join the company? Wasn't he getting himself in hot water by doing so?
"Nothing's impossible. That's why I want to ask you whether your brother loved her. Like really loved her, like no one can replace her in his heart." Belinda thought herself to be an open-minded person. If Duke really clung only to one woman, he could tell her. And she would leave and let them be together.
Come on, Belinda, that's all nonsense. Duke liked Rachel before, but the woman he cares for most now is you. You should know that I have never seen any other woman that can make my brother so happy. You have him spellbound. Believe me, you are the special one for him."
Leena hurriedly stuck up for Duke. She was not finding excuses for her brother, she really thought that no woman could easily make Duke feel happy, sad or angry, no woman except for Belinda.
Belinda, I think you are the one who knows how much Duke loves you and cares for you. We're not the ones to decide how bad or how good he is to you, right?" Daisy looked at Belinda gently. It seemed that Belinda really fell in love with Duke, otherwise she would not be so worried and paranoid.
"I don't know. I'm confused. I told myself to be reasonable to solve this, but I just feel panicky all the time, and I don't know why. I feel upset about those feelings. But I really can't control my mind, I get lost in various fancies and conjectures. Is that love?"
Belinda felt very confused now. Unlike Daisy who was inclined to hide everything in her heart and keep all the sorrows to herself, Belinda was the kind of person who wanted to know the answer when she was confused. She would never allow herself to get into a situation in which she was very unsure of something. Such kind of woman was very sensible, but on the other hand, there were disadvantages to her too. Because she skipped the process of tasting bitter loneliness by herself.
"What is love? It is untouchable and invisible. It can be only felt by your heart. So you will find how subtle it is. It can make you cry, make you laugh and even make you go to extremes. While you're in love, you can't be too greedy. It's enough when you get what you want most. You can't get everything you want. Because love is also vulnerable, it's so vulnerable that it can't bear the slightest touch. Otherwise, it will develop cracks. When it becomes like this, no matter how hard you try to fix it, it will be difficult to feel exactly what it was like before things fell apart."
Daisy seemed completely lost in thought when she was saying this to Belinda. In her way of love, she had been very humble and careful. It was fortunate for her that she had bet on the right man and got what she wanted in the end.
"So do you think I can get the love I want?" Belinda looked at Daisy with eager eyes. All of a sudden, she pinned all her hopes on Daisy; as long as Daisy had her back, she would fear nothing.
It's useless. No matter how many suggestions other people give you, what really matters is your heart." Daisy wanted to help her, but only to a certain point. Because she believed that Belinda was a clever woman, it was impossible that she didn't know the core of this problem.
My heart? Belinda murmured. Was she going to follow her heart? What if the road before her had a dead end? Was she still going to move forward regardless of the possible sad ending? If so, she had to suffer from the pain of love first.
Yes, your heart is the most important thing, and nothing else matters. Daisy raised her head and gazed at Belinda, but she suddenly saw the woman she would least expect. And that made her furrow her brows deeply.
