Chapter 111: Chapter 111: You Two Can Make A Good Couple
"You want drinks?" Edward frowned. The last thing he wanted tonight was to be with a drunken woman again.
"No! It's just that my brother wants to have a drink with you." Leena managed a smile and gave a quick glance at Duke, hoping he didn't notice what was going on here. Anyway, he had been staring at Belinda all the time. He wouldn't notice anything.
Edward glanced at Duke, and found that he was lost in his thoughts, his face grew thoughtful. Then Edward looked at Leena with a knowing smile. It was evident that she was planning something. That was fine by him. He was just curious about what she was up to.
"Justin, you must make sure that your aunt Belinda is going to drink later. OK?" Leena whispered in Justin's ear, "Make it or break it, everything depends on tonight."
"Why me?" Justin rolled his eyes in despair. He rolled his eyes more frequently than ever since he met this terrible woman.
"Ha ha! Because with you, she will let all her defences down!" The drug she prepared wasn't too strong. If they didn't have any feelings for each other, nothing would happen. She got it just this morning from a friend who worked in a bar, knowing it might come in handy sometime. It didn't occur to her that the opportunity would come this soon.
"You don't mean to drug both of them, do you?" Justin asked her uncertainly. He could almost figure it out just by the way Leena stared at aunt Belinda. He knew about these little tricks all too well. All the time he had spent on the Internet paid off.
"Bingo. You got it. But we won't drug Mr. Cold." If one of them is sober, there's still a chance to save the situation.
Belinda felt a sudden chill and shivered. She looked around, but everything seemed all right!
"Belinda, what's wrong?" Daisy asked with concern, noticing Belinda suddenly shivered while talking. Daisy was now sitting next to Belinda after Leena changed her seat. "Oh! I'm fine. It's probably the air conditioner. It's constantly blowing cold air." Belinda shook her head and gave a small smile.
"All right. Did you notice that Duke has been watching you all night? Are you sure nothing is going on between you two?" Daisy kept a low voice and for once started gossiping.
"Of course not, we have nothing to do with each other. Don't believe me? See for yourself." Belinda groaned. Why did everyone feel that she was coupled with that man?
"Actually, he seems like a nice guy. Think about it." Daisy teased her. Belinda was her only friend, and she hoped for Belinda's happiness.
"Stop it. How come you also have this idea? Do you really think that ice prince suits me? Don't make fun of me. No way, I can't endure that poker face all day long." Belinda said, shaking her head firmly. Daisy must be kidding. Just imagine living a dull life like that!
"Belinda, I really think that you and Duke are very complementary. He is icy cold, and you have a fiery spirit. You are made for each other!" Daisy looked up and saw Duke talking to her husband in a low voice. Both men took a look in their direction every few seconds.
"Duke, What is up with you? You have a crush on Belinda, don't you?" Edward gave him a playful glance and leaned back lazily in his chair. His slender legs overlapped and dangled at a leisurely pace.
"Well, is that what you think?" Duke asked. He had put his poker face on, refusing to give away his real feelings.
"Yeah, I think so. I think you two can make a good couple. You've been waiting so long. It's time to move on. After all these years, what is the point of clinging on to the past?" Just then, Edward saw Daisy looking at him, and a smile reached his lips. Dazzled by his smile, Daisy looked away shyly.
"Who says I am still waiting. I forgot her the moment she walked away from me. You know me very well. I wouldn't bother to hold people and things that don't belong to me." Duke sank into deep melancholy, frowning. Edward had brought back some bad memories. At the same time, he was not sure about the future.
"Wish you are as cool as you say. If you are not serious about Belinda, then leave her alone. I am answerable to Daisy for that." Belinda was his wife's best friend. He felt obliged to give Duke a warning first. He didn't want to get stuck in a rift between his friend and his wife.
Duke gave himself a slight indifferent laugh; he sipped the wine that was poured for him just now. He was savoring the raw taste of every drop. He frowned as he caught the sight of Belinda. Leena was trying to get her to drink. God knows what trick she was playing.
"Belinda, a toast. Let's make a toast. Drink it up! Come on, drink it up, don't make me look bad." Leena was holding a glass of wine, her hand trembling slightly. Her pretty face looked extremely nervous. Justin, the little traitor, chickened out at the last minute, so she had to do it herself. Belinda looked at Leena doubtfully, wondering why she changed the tack and suddenly started making a toast.
She was not going to drink the wine Leena handed her. But when she saw Duke watching her, Daisy's words came to her mind. In her panic, she took the glass and gulped the wine in one go. She almost choked.
Leena was amazed at how everything went so well. She had expected it to be a challenging task. She didn't think it would be so easy.
Justin sighed as Belinda gulped down the drugged wine. Poor aunt Belinda! Being the Sister-in-law of this horrible woman would be your only choice. Anyway, he washed his hands of the whole affair. He thought everything would be fine if he didn't make a move. But Leena got her way after all. Perhaps this was God's will, and everything had worked out the way it was supposed to.
Slow down Belinda, Daisy patted her back. Belinda could be impulsive sometimes. Even drinking could get her choked.
