Chapter 876 I''m Not Scared Because It''s You (Part One)
"I hope so. Where is Edward? I don''t see him around." When Duke had entered the house, he could tell
something was amiss. He realized now why he had that strange feeling. It was because the master of
the house was nowhere to be seen.
"Oh! Is he not here? I was in the kitchen, I didn''t see him just now. He is probably upstairs. You could
go to the study and see if he''s there." Upon hearing Duke''s words, Daisy looked about, but didn''t see
Edward anywhere.
"Duke, I''ll tell you! If you ask me nicely, I can inform you of Edward''s whereabouts," Rain said, crossing
his legs leisurely.
"Uncle Rain, don''t fool around. Daddy only said that he was going out, he didn''t say where he was
heading to," Justin said, engrossed in the game on his cellphone. Like most young boys, he loved to
y mobile games. However, what made him stand out was that he also liked to design those games.
In this regard, few of them were as talented as he was.
"Justin, don''t embarrass me. Isn''t it Leena you''re always picking a fight with? Why is it my turn today?"
Rain said, gritting his teeth. Justin had yed a trick on him before and he hadn''t fully recovered from it
yet. It seemed like Justin didn''t want to stop either. He was making trouble for him again.
"It is because Aunt Leena is not here today. If she was here, I would be exhausted only trying to deal
with her. I probably wouldn''t have the energy to even speak to you," Justin responded without raising
his head from the game. His hand casually swiped at the cellphone screen.
"Hey! Little boy, why does it sound like I am only a substitute for your amusement?" Rain asked,
offended by Justin''s words.
"Haha! Uncle Rain, sorry if I made you think that. But a substitute is not the worst thing to be. Don''t be
so pessimistic." Justin finally looked up at him after thrashing thest monster in the game. He tilted his
head and shed Rain a smug smile.
"Oh, please! I''m a substitute, that''s already depressing. No, that does not sound right. What am I
saying? Do I really want to be a substitute for Leena and be the primary target of your tricks? You
devious little boy. You''re trying to set me up." Rain finally saw through Justin. He was indeed clever.
Rain was fortunate to figure out Justin''s trap in time and save himself from falling into it.
"Ah! It''s forgivable if a person is not too intelligent. But if someone is just straight up dumb, then no
medicine can cure him." Tom shook his head, poking fun at Rain. He was bored because Jonathan was
not there to y chess with him. How could he not grab the opportunity to tease Rain?
"It''s because you are a quack. Someone else might be able to cure him." Rain nced at him coldly.
He sluggishly leaned back in the chair with an insipid look on his face, sounding upset. Perhaps he
hadn''t recovered from the frustration he had felt when he heard Edward mention Annie.
"Hey Rain, what happened to you? You look like you have been ditched by some beautiful girl. Why are
you so down?" Belinda smiled, sitting beside Rain. She always took pleasure in ridiculing Rain. Right
now, he looked so lost that she found she had even more words to say. She was quite amused.
"Yes, I have been ditched by a beautifuldy. Thatdy is you, Belinda. I don''t understand why you
chose Duke. He is so dull," Rain still sounded dispirited. He felt better after the banter with Justin.
However, as he came to himself, he felt even more lonely.
"You sissy man, do you want to die?" Duke red at him with cold eyes. The air around Rain seemed
to freeze for a moment.
"Don''t be so angry. I''m just kidding. Jeez! You don''t have to scare me like that. Belinda, I really marvel
at your tough heart. It can withstand anything. Even someone like him!" Rain said to Belinda as he
raised his eyebrows in the direction of Duke. He wondered how she could stand being with such a cold
man.
"Since I don''t mind talking to a flighty man like you, why should I not be able to stand him?" Belinda
smiled delightfully. Even though Rain was just teasing her, she was pleased to see that Duke was
angry about this.
"Haha! Uncle Rain, you''ve been stumped by the irondy!" Looking at how Rain was speechless at
Belinda''s words, Justin couldn''t help butugh.
"Justin, don''t be rude. You are talking to adults." Daisy bit her lip. Although she med Justin, an
obvious smile spread across her face. The cheerful ambiance made her feel good to be a part of the
big family. She had longed so much for this feeling in the past few years, but barely had the chance to
experience it.
"Oh. I know, Mommy." Justin pouted, bowing his head in acknowledgement of his mistake. He knew
Mommy was stricter than Daddy. He understood that he could be mischievous and do whatever he
wanted in front of his Daddy, but that usually didn''t work with Mommy.
"Daisy, it''s not his fault. He''s still a little boy. Don''t be so harsh on him. He knows when he has made a
mistake." Justin''s pitiful face aroused sympathy in Belinda. She persuaded Daisy to let it go. Justin was
such a considerate boy. ording to Belinda, a boy as good as him couldn''t be found anywhere else.
"He always needs someone to watch over him, otherwise he forgets decorum and crosses the line." It
was not that Daisy truly wanted to be harsh on him, but he was just so easily excitable. If she wanted to
prevent Justin from bing a conceited man in future, she needed to teach him a lesson when it was
necessary. Otherwise, he would always be ignorant of his wrong doings.
"Justin, let''s go outside. Would you like to show me your garden?" Belinda might look like a strong
businesswoman in appearance, but she, in fact, had a very soft heart. She couldn''t bear to see Justin''s
pitiful look. Holding his hand, she dragged him toward the gardens. Although she had been to Edward''s
house many times, she never took the time to enjoy the lush gardens. She took the opportunity to
console Justin and take a walk outside.
"Aunt Belinda, thank you for siding with me. But I am okay. I know Mommy said that to me for my own
benefit. So I don''t feel bad. If I hadn''t looked depressed, she would have thought that I didn''t take her
words seriously. I purposely pretended to be upset to assure her that I was affected by what she said."
Justin held his head high, looking adorable and clever. There was no trace of the sadness that had
been on his face just moments ago.
"Justin, you are such a clever boy. You can read what''s on your Mommy''s mind so well. But it is not
easy for your Mommy toe here all the way to earn a livelihood. You cannot disappoint her. You
should know that your Mommy is strict with you because she wants you to be a good man." Although
Belinda felt sympathy for Justin, she also felt sympathy for Daisy. She didn''t want to see her
heartbroken.
"I know, Aunt Belinda. Believe me, I will always be the considerate boy my Mommy has brought me up
to be." Justin grinned. In fact, he knew better than anyone else how his Mommy had struggled in the
past years. How was it even possible that he''d want to make her sad?
"Okay! That''s good. Aunt Belinda loves obedient boys the best." Belinda pinched his pink cheeks,
wondering when she could have such an adorable boy of her own.
"Where are you going?" Edward walked out of the garage after parking his car. He happened toe
across Belinda and Justin who were strolling along the gardens.
"Daddy, you''re back! Where have you been?" Justin had be more cheerful aftering to live
with Edward. He did not sulk like before.
"I went to deal with some business. Belinda, are you trying to steal my son?" Edward teased her in a
yful tone. There had been much good-natured banter between them when they first met. It was hard
for Edward to imagine that Belinda would marry Duke, whose personality waspletely different from
hers.
"Yes, I want to take him away, but only if he is willing to go with me. By the way! Are youing back

from a date with your secret lover?" Although Edward was no longer a womanizer and did not flirt
around with other women, Belinda hadn''tpletely forgiven him for his past romantic affairs.
"Of course! Secret lover. I wonder if the CEO of YS too partakes in such hobbies. I can rmend
some handsome men to you." Edward shed her a charming smile, his bright eyes filled with mischief.
He waited for Belinda''s response to that.
"I''m not like you, so promiscuous and lewd." Belinda pursed her lips and raised her chin in scorn. She
narrowed her eyes and looked at Edward, in a manner of a haughty princess.
