Chapter 707 Male Confidant (Part Four)
"You are right, sweetie. I know I was acting like a jerk tonight. I was probably overreacting. It was my
fault and again, I am really sorry! I promise I will never do that again. I would never abandon you under
any circumstances. Please trust me. You see? I still brought you back, didn''t I?" This time, it was
Duke''s turn to make his sincere apology. He sat down at the bedside and gently embraced her. He held
her body tightly into his arms, wishing he would never have to let go of her. Life was so miraculous and
amazing that he finally met her and gradually fell in love with her. He was doomed now but what else
could he do? He couldn''t help falling so deeply for her. He would just spend the rest of his life caring for
her and loving her. Belinda was the one.
Curling herself up in his arms, leaning on his strong body, pressing her face on his chest, listening to
his heartbeats, smelling his unique fragrance, Belinda felt safe in his embrace. She hadn''t had such a
feeling of serenity for a long time and all these senses from him had gradually be part of her life,
from strange to familiar, now merging into her. But what surprised her most was that it was eventually
still Duke who had brought her back. She had feelings for him too. Being in his arms, being so close to
him, she didn''t want to let go either. She treasured this moment a lot, wishing it would never pass. She
wished she could stay with him forever. And just as what Leena had said, it was just Rachel! Rachel
was no big deal! She didn''t even need to worry about her. Besides, being such a charmingdy herself,
she should be confident of her beauty. How would she ever be beaten by Rachel? Only she, Belinda,

could win this game.
This small ident between Belinda and Duke had finallye to an end. It had caught them
unprepared but also left them a beautiful ending. This little couple was now enjoying the wonderful
night with each other happily. After all, being able to speak frankly about their own feelings had given
them a chance to learn about each other and unravel the misunderstandings between them. Maybe
there would still be a small knot in their hearts, but anyhow, they had managed to make arge
progress in their rtionship. It was one small step for tonight, one giant leap for their lives. From now
on, their love for each other could definitely march forward more steadily than before.
With the same soft moonlight shining from outside the window, things were a little different in the other
bedroom. Edward, the most jealous man on Earth, finally asked Daisy the question he had been
thinking all night.
"About that Zemo Ling guy, who is he? Did you guys get along well when you were in the military
school?" He asked pretending that the issue wasn''t a big deal for him. His eyes were dodging from
Daisy''s, avoiding any eye contact with her.
"Sure! He really cared for me back in school. I think he''s kind of a male confidant!" answered Daisy
doubtlessly. She was maintaining her sniper rifle carefully. Her eyes were focusing on the rifle and not
looking at Edward either.
"Then he''s also a military man now?". Edward asked another question with a frown. He figured that
Zemo didn''t look like a military man. Instead, Zemo exuded a sense of sophistication and wisdom that
belonged more to business men.
"Not any more. Before our graduation, he was injured badly in a sudden ident which damaged his
body and physique, things that are required to be a good soldier. I was there too but luckily for me,
there wasn''t any permanent harm done on my end," said Daisy. Thinking of that ident took Daisy''s
thought away from her rifle. She stop wiping the gun and turned to face Edward. She always had a
feeling that the ident was never just a sudden ident. The whole thing must be much more
information about the unknown part of the ident. All her questions had remained unanswered for all
these years. Besides, she had passed out in that ident. Things had been settled already when she
regained her mind, leaving no clue for her to investigate.
"You mean he left JC Military Academy before he could graduate? What about after that? What did he
do? Didn''t you stay in contact with him?" Edward asked all his remaining questions in full blow. There
were some bad feelings that suddenly shed in his mind but he couldn''t figure them out. It seemed
like something was about to leap out from the dark, though he still couldn''t decipher the key point of
this. All he could recognize was the ominous feelings inside his head.
"Yes! He left abruptly, not even leaving us any means to contact him. I thought we might never meet
again in this life. So it''s quite amazing that we just bumped into each other tonight," exined Daisy.
She was lost into her thoughts. Her eyes were far-reaching at the moment. She only had two best
friends in this world, one male confidant and one female confidant. The female one was Belinda of
course. As for the male confidant, it must be Zemo. She had never mentioned him to anyone else
before because she thought that Zemo had been out of her world and they would never get in touch
again.
"I can see that you were happy to meet him again," said Edward. Though he was trying to sound
casual, his jealousy could still be sensed. He was just wondering why was his wife always surrounded
by different men, not to mention, outstanding men! At first, there had been a Kevin Gu. Now there was
another, Zemo Ling. They were all extraordinary men. He had to admit that her excellence was
appreciated by a lot of men, a lot of excellent men!
"Yep! It''s been almost a decade from then. I couldn''t think of how that sunny boy in the military school
turned to be the Zemo I met today," said Daisy smilingly as she packed her sniper rifle back. She told
Edward everything he wanted to know about Zemo. For her, there was no need to lie to him, and there
was nothing she couldn''t tell him either.
