Chapter 701 He Really Meant Nothing (Part One)


    Seeing the scary look on Duke''s face, Belinda couldn''t help flinching. She had always thought that


    even though the man looked cold and distant, he was still gentle and soft inside. But right now, from the


    deadly cold look on his face, she finally realized that she was terribly wrong. This man could be very


    dangerous and scary. It seemed that she didn''t know him as well as she thought.


    "Belinda, I think you''re really screwed this time, even God can''t help you right now." Leena wanted


    badly to leave here and go home right away. She really didn''t want to be stuck in this kind of situation at


    all.


    "Did -- did I really go too far this time?" Belinda asked with a guilty look on her face. She gently pressed


    her fingers to her head, feeling a little bit dizzy. As the alcohol started to leave her body, she felt ill, and


    not at all sure of what she had done.


    "What do you think?" Daisy frowned at her words. Because of the fight that happened earlier, the


    people surrounding this ce all went away by now. So they were the only people left standing in the


    center of the dance floor. Duke stared coldly at Belinda for a couple of seconds, then looked away. He


    didn''t say a word, just walked past them, like they wereplete strangers. He didn''t even look at


    them or make any gestures, he just walked away.


    No one thought Duke would react this way. So they just stood still on the dance floor, paralyzed from


    shock. Leena was the first one to recover. She saw Duke leaving, then hurriedly ran after him. "Brother,


    wait up!


    "You''re leaving?" Edward slowly walked in, immediately had a teasing smile on his face when he saw


    Duke walking quickly towards the exit. But after a second nce, he couldn''t help but frown, especially


    when he saw the familiar figure standing on the center of the dance floor. Brow furrowed, he had no


    idea what was happening.


    "Edward! Boy are you a sight for sore eyes! Talk with Duke, please! He really needs you right now, I


    think!" Leena''s face was all screwed up tight in worry. She was concerned about her brother, but she


    really didn''t know what to do now. Why was it so hard to be a decent sister? It was a fight between her


    brother and his wife, why did she have to be the peacemaker?


    "What happened?" Although the question was directed at Leena, Edward''s eyes were on the two


    figures slowly walking towards them.


    "I really don''t know how to exin it to you in a nutshell. But please, go stop my brother, don''t let him


    leave!" Leena felt so anxious that she could cry. She had warned her that she''d better not go dancing in


    the first ce! Now look where it got them!


    "Duke, if you''re really leaving, at least take your wife with you! Why are you leaving her with my wife?"


    The corner of Edward''s mouth twitched, he was sure that Duke must be jealous. Not only that, he must


    be extremely jealous, or he wouldn''t leave without taking his wife with him.


    "Out of my way, Edward." Duke raised his eyebrow, ground his teeth and angrily red at Edward. He


    knew Edward so well, how could he not see that this guy was just teasing him? Right now his rage


    blinded him to everything but his anger. He couldn''t even tell you why he was angry at that point.


    "Easy, big guy. I''m here for the same reason. I''m just here to pick up my wife." Edward lowered his


    eyes, and nced at the other man, his face full of joy and teasing.


    "Who says that I''m here to pick up my wife? Can''t I just be passing through?" Thinking of what


    happened just now, Duke couldn''t help but clinch his fists tightly. That womanpletely ignored his


    presence when he called for her, even went so far as to press her body closer to that man. She was his


    wife, not some loose woman!


    "Huh! You''re just being stubborn, that''s all. Now shut up, they''re almost here. You know Belinda. She


    gives as good as she gets. If you start a fight --" Edward nudged Duke with his shoulder. His


    appearance in this bar was definitely the highlight of the evening. His charming smile, his elegant aura,


    and his handsome looksbined, enticed every woman in the bar without even trying. They were all


    wondering who this charming guy was, and if they had a chance with him.


    "Why are you here so soon?" Daisy wasn''t happy at all when she saw Edward walking into the bar. She


    was just at a loss for words due to his charming smile. This man was definitely a threat to every man,


    because at any given moment he was enticing and seductive. And he would definitely be the death of


    her one of these days. The eyes of every woman here were on him, following him like a cat stalked a


    mouse. He basked in the attention without even meaning to. He was a womanizer for sure. Daisy


    wanted so badly to drag him out of this bar and hide him forever, just in case he got any unwholesome


    ideas.


    "What, aren''t you happy to see me?" Edward raised his eyebrow, he would very much like to hear that


    she was not happy to see him, if she dared to say it out loud.


    "Well, I don''t have the guts to be unhappy." Daisy looked at Belinda and winked at her, suggesting that


    she should go to Duke''s side. And at the same time, Daisy took Leena''s hand as well as Edward''s,


    pulling them both away from this ce.


    Belinda bit her lip, then slowly walked towards Duke step by step. She felt good in the beginning, and it


    was an innocent night out with the girls. But getting drunk and dancing sciously proved that it was


    wrong for her toe here. So in front of Duke it was hard for her not to feel a little bit guilty.


    "Ummm, well... About the thing that happened just now, I can exin." Belinda kept her head down,


    and she couldn''t stop ying with her fingers because she was quite nervous. She snuck a peek at


    Duke from time to time.


    "Save it. I don''t want to hear your excuses. I saw what you did with my own eyes, and you can''t exin


    that away." Duke''s tone was cold and distant, as if what he was saying had nothing to do with him.


    There was no warmth in his voice. And as for Belinda, she could be mad all she wanted, and she could


    also start some meaningless drama, but she couldn''t get that close to any other man, and that was his


    rule.

    "Ha... Really? If you really think so, then please, just go." Belinda was quick to admit when she was


    wrong, and had no problem apologizing, but she had her own rules. The first one of them was that she


    would never be the one to back down every time, just to please somebody else. She admitted that she


    had gone too far earlier, but that was just dancing. Why did he have to make such a big deal out of it?


    "Yes really. I should be asking you the same thing. Do you mean that? This is messed up." Duke closed


    his eyes for a short moment, and he couldn''t help but feelpletely disappointed in her. All this time,


    he had thought that she was different from others, that she was not like other women who only saw his


    appearance and money, that she was someone special. But right now, it seemed that he was


    was just as shallow as them.
