Chapter 695 Three Women Shopping (Part Two)


    "Who told you I was going to put them in my bridal chamber? I will put it them in my own home." Being


    seen through, Belinda rolled her eyes at Leena. It seemed as if Leena could read her mind. She began


    to regret that she had let Leena tag along.

    "Your own home? What''s the difference? Aren''t they the same ce?" Leena was confused.


    "Of course they aren''t. What''s the matter with you? Are you picking on me?" Belinda patted Leena


    lightly with a sullen face.


    "You and my brother are married. Isn''t your home the Leng residence?" Leena persisted.


    "Why are you arguing with me? Although we are married, we haven''t had our wedding ceremony yet. In


    addition, my own home isn''t the Leng''s residence, and it will never be." Belinda felt wordless and mad.


    "I think Leena is right. When you are married, your parents'' home isn''t your home anymore. Wherever


    your husband is, that''s your home." Daisy never knew what it felt like to have two homes. She felt she


    never truly had a parents'' home to go back to. When she was living with Justin at the army residential


    quarters, they had a house, but it was far from a home, because there was no man in it. It was after


    she moved into the Mu''s vi that she started to understand what a home was.


    "That''s right. Belinda, don''t say that to my brother. It will upset him." Despite her young age, Leena was


    tactful and of good character.


    "Upset him? I''m upset right now. I have a home. Why should I see the Leng''s residence as my home?"


    Clearly, Belinda was still mad at Duke. But at the same time she was wistful, because after her


    marriage, she had to leave her parents and move into a new home. That was one of the disadvantages


    of raising a daughter.


    "What''s going on? You''ve been angry all day," Daisy asked, nudging Belinda with her arm.


    "I''m sorry. I got my period, so I''ve been in a bad mood these days. Don''t take what I said seriously."


    Belinda exhaled deeply, feeling embarrassed. She didn''t want to argue with Leena, but she grew upset


    thinking of Duke and then she was angry with Leena too, just because she was his sister.


    "Luckily, it''s us. You would have gotten into a fight if it was someone else." Daisy knew Belinda well.


    She didn''t believe her period was the cause of her bad mood. She also knew that maintaining a


    rtionship required mutual understanding of a couple, so she thought Belinda and Duke had to fix


    their problem by themselves.


    "Yeah. Belinda, I am starting to think that you''re in menopause." Leena looked at Belinda pitifully.


    Belinda began to yell on hearing her words.


    "Leena! Did you and your brother make a n to irritate me together?" Belinda felt both brother and


    sister were equally annoying.


    "Gosh! She is so scary. Sis Daisy, what happened to Belinda?" Leena stood behind Daisy and looked


    at Belinda in fright.


    "Leena, stop talking. Otherwise she will dismember you and eat you up." Daisy shook her head. She


    felt the way Belinda and Leena got along was exactly what family was like.


    "Don''t stop her. I want to see how irritating she can get." Belinda stared at Leena, furious yet helpless.


    "I know you, you''re upset about something. So I was trying to make you feel better. Don''t you feel


    better now?" Leena said. Now she saw how frightening Belinda was when she was pissed. Leena was


    hurt. She was trying to ease Belinda''s tension, yet Belinda was not only ungrateful but also took it out


    on her.


    "Come on, guys. Look at you two. We came here to shop, not fight. Do you remember? The


    shopkeeper is staring at us. He must think we are here to ruin his business." Daisy''s day was full of


    arguments and fights. Either she was in a fight with somebody or she was watching other people


    arguing. This desensitization was natural. She found she had turned into a philistine. Yet she felt real.


    This was life.


    Belinda bought the kissing figurines. They stayed for a long time in that shop and had a fierce


    argument there. She would feel bad if they left without buying anything.


    They fought, they argued, they yed, theyughed. They didn''t feel tired until a few hourster. Their


    feet hurt, but they were happy.


    "Let''s go somewhere else tonight," Belinda suggested when they were in an ice cream bar. She hadn''t


    enjoyed herself to her heart''s content yet.


    "I don''t think that''s a good idea." Daisy was in an awkward situation. She was afraid Edward would not


    agree to let her stay out sote. It was not easy for her to get a day off, and she had spent little time


    with him. More importantly, she wanted to ask him about the things in B Country. She had intended to


    ask him yesterday, but she had been too moved by his affection to remember it.


    "Wherever you want to go, I''m in," Leena said excitedly. She would be alone anyway if she went home.


    And she had never had fun outside since she got married. So she would like to hang with Belinda and


    Daisy tonight.


    "Are you worried that Edward will disagree? I can call him." Actually Belinda was trying to avoid facing


    Duke. And she couldn''t go to her parents'' house. They would be asking her questions relentlessly. She


    would definitely be quite annoyed.


    "No, thanks. I can tell him myself. But don''t you want to call Duke and tell him about your whereabouts?


    He will be worried." Daisy sighed. Love hurts, she thought. She had struggled in love. And Belinda was


    struggling and hurting.


    "He won''t. He''ll worry about somebody else, but not me." It sounded Belinda was jealous.


    "Belinda, do you mean me?" Leena said, although she knew well what Belinda was talking about. She


    didn''t want to see her brother and Belinda split up. That would be the worst thing in the world.


    "You wish. He won''t even think about you now that he has someone else on his mind." Belinda sat


    back in the chair sluggishly, sneering. Suddenly she felt good to have a sister-inw like Leena, who


    she could hang out with.


    "Why, I sense jealousy." Daisy smiled. Belinda cared about Duke, but she was pretending otherwise.


    "Really? I don''t." Belinda knew what Daisy meant, but she wouldn''t admit to her feelings. Of course she


    cared. The image she had seen the day before was haunting her. It would be some time before she


    could be honest with herself.
