Chapter 1153 Willful Mr. Cold (Part One)


    "Be slimmer? Let me have a look!" This was typical of Duke. He was always concerned when it


    came to Leena. Even small details became important to him. He clearly adored his little sister.


    "Yeah! My face has be smaller." Leena pouted and sucked in her cheeks. If Duke didn''t quit


    getting angry at her, she too would act childishly.


    "Stop doing that, or your face will hurt. I forgive you this time because of the effort you just made. But


    today is a special case. I won''t be so forgiving again." Duke reached out and flicked her nose tenderly.


    A wide smile spread across his face. With Leena around, he was always happy.


    "Thank you, bro. I always know that you''re the best brother ever." Leena stood on her toes and kissed


    Duke''s handsome and perfectly cold face.


    "Leena, is thisdy one of your friends?" Belinda eyed ire warily. She had been watching Leena and


    Duke, and so had ignored ire''s presence before.


    "Oh! This is Kevin''s sister, ire." Leena felt a pang of guilt for not introducing ire first.


    "Kevin''s sister, that''s wonderful! You''re wee, ire. Leave these two alone. They just love each


    other a lot. You get used to it one way or another," Belinda said amiably. She didn''t sound harsh.


    Sometimes, she felt jealous of the affection between Leena and Duke. However, sibling affection wasn''t


    the same as the love between a husband and his wife. Belinda didn''t bother to ask Duke foolish


    questions, such as who would he save first if she and Leena fell into a river and both of them couldn''t


    swim. Such questions would undoubtedly be silly and annoying to him. Also, it would only frustrate her


    and possibly worsen her rtionship with Duke.


    "Belinda, don''t be silly. You''re just being jealous. Right?" Leena''s mouth tilted upward as she mocked


    Belinda''s jealousy.


    "Why would I be jealous? Duke is my husband and Kevin is yours. Go and find your husband. Leave


    Duke to me," Belinda said haughtily. She was a woman who could be provoked easily.


    "Take it easy. Don''t be so annoyed. I think I have the right to borrow my brother from you every now


    and then." Leena pressed her body closer to Duke, teasing Belinda some more. Her lips lifted into a sly


    smile.


    "That... that can be done under certain conditions. You can''t borrow my husband free of charge!


    However, I can rent him out to you for a reasonable price. Tell me what you can give me if I trade your


    brother," Belinda said. Her smile was charming. She looked Duke in the eye with some defiance. Duke


    stared back at his wife in turn. A stern look shed across his face.


    "I see. Actually, I think I better give my brother back to you. I have nothing precious to trade my brother


    with. I''m sorry," Leena said and jumped away from Duke. He seemed pissed off. If Leena continued to


    intervene between the pair, she would definitely be med for the possible quarrel between them.


    Duke''s mouth twisted into a humorless smile. His wife really had the nerve to rent him out. However,


    she was gravely mistaken: nomon woman could steal him from his wife and family. Even if it was


    his own sister who wanted to borrow him, he absolutely refused to be traded like cargo.


    "How about you, ire? Would you like to borrow Duke?" Belinda didn''t expect Leena to back out.


    Duke''s dangerous gaze still rested on her as she turned to ire, who looked confused about what


    was happening.


    "Oh! Borrow what?" ire asked in bewilderment. She had been so lost in her thoughts that she paid


    no attention to their conversation.


    "Hah! It''s okay. Belinda, you can take your husband home." Leena hurriedly walked up to ire and


    whispered to her to keep quiet. Duke was obviously annoyed. Leena could feel the anger and coldness

    radiating from him.


    "Wicked girl, you always trick me. You always leave me so I have to fight with my husband alone. Don''t


    you know who should be med for what just happened here?" Belinda glowered at Leena. She turned


    her eyes in Duke''s direction, trying to calm him down.


    "Ha-ha! Belinda, I''m sorry. You know me. I''ve always been timid, so I''ll leave this great mission to you.


    Daddy, shall we take a walk outside? It''ll be good to enjoy the setting sun." The smart Leena had a


    mischievous gleam in her eyes. Before she left the room, she decided to take her father with her. Only


    this way she''d not be held back by her brother or sister-inw.


    Belinda was still startled. She watched Leena exit the room with her father. Looking around, Belinda


    found herself standing all alone with a pissed-off Duke. She was scared and wanted to leave as well.


    However, before she could step out, Duke stopped her in her tracks.


    "Where do you think you are going? Starting a fire and then leaving? Do you really think I''ll let you go


    so easily?" Duke''s smile was sinister. He leaned against the rail and red at his wife, who looked


    embarrassed.


    "You misunderstood me. I was just messing around and joking. I can''t count on Leena at all. Whenever


    shit hits the fan, she just disappears and leaves the mess in my hands. I''m the one who was wronged


    here." Belinda raised her chin defiantly. Disadvantaged as she was, she refused to give in, whatever


    might be the cost.


    "Oh! Is that so? You are the one who feels wronged? What about me, whom you apparently nned to


    rent out, as if I were some kind of goods for sale? Shouldn''t I be the onementing my fate?" Duke


    stared at her intently and calcted his next move.


    "Don''t be ridiculous! I was just nning to lend you to your own sister, the girl whom you love the most.


    I don''t know why you feel so flustered about this. When she was away, you talked about her all the


    time. And now when she is right here, you feel hurt about me letting you spend some time alone with


    her. What kind of a man are you? Quit being such a hypocrite," Belinda blurted out without thinking of


    the consequences. As a result, she was brutally conquered in bed by her husbandter at night.


    "Shouldn''t it be clear to you if I''m a man or not? Perhaps I love you too much, so you feel that you can


    provoke me and go unpunished. But you''re wrong. You can''t ask for my love by doing this. Love can be


    wild sometimes, but it''s always reasonable," Duke made this statement humorlessly. He had the habit


    of making everything sound like it was a political report.


    "All right! Duke, we''re educated and civilized people. Don''t treat me in this rough manner. I''m your wife,


    don''t forget that." Belinda cursed Leena inwardly. Why should she bear the consequences of the


    wrongs done by Leena? Leena looked innocent, but she was far from that.


    "I''m a perfect gentleman! What''s all this about? I have always been civilized. I have done nothing


    except love and protect you, haven''t I?" Duke said as he continued to re at her. However, a hint of


    amusement sparkled in his eyes.


    "Oh my God! This is crazy. I can''t talk to a viin about what''s right and wrong!" Belinda gritted her


    teeth. Duke''s aloofness was maddening. She was so angry that she could kill him. He was a wicked


    man deep down, but he looked so elegant and dignified in his physical appearance. He acted as if he


    never said provocative and teasing words.


    "Even if you''re right about me being a viin, I would never touch any other women but you, my darling


    legitimate wife." Duke was always known for his ruthlessness, however, few people knew that he was


    also great at charming a woman.
