Chapter 1360 The Sweetness Of Love (Part Three)


    Duke became speechless when he heard her say so. Unfortunately, he couldn''t scold her, let alone


    beat her. The only thing he could do was to talk her out of the idea of eating icy food by stressing her


    role as a future mother. But it seemed that he failed. Because he had underestimated how much a


    pregnant woman would crave certain kinds of food.


    "Are you happy now?" Duke asked at an ice-cream parlor. In fact, he had called Tom to ask about this


    first. He only brought her here after he got Tom''s confirmation. It had to be attributed to her good


    health. If it were Leena, it would be impossible for her to be allowed to eat ice cream during pregnancy.


    "Yes, do you want to have one as well?" Belinda asked with a happy smile, as if what she was holding


    in her hand now was the most delicious food in the world.


    "No, I don''t. Stop pushing it to my face! You enjoy it yourself. But you can''t eat too much, okay?" Duke


    frowned as he looked at therge bowl of shaved ice in her hand. He ordered for a small cup of the ice,


    but she insisted on arge one. So that was what she had now.


    "Don''t worry. I''ll be okay. Didn''t Tom say that I''m very healthy and asionally eating icy food won''t


    affect the baby?" Belinda was like a spoiled child who just got her sweet goodies. She had been smiling


    all the way back home and she looked more soft and gentle, a big contrast to the image of a strong


    business woman she used to be. Probably because of the increase of female hormone inside her body


    during pregnancy, she looked more tender as a loving expectant mother.


    "You''re only saying that because you want to eat ice water." Duke said helplessly. He loved her deeply


    after all. He had no choice but to let her have what she wanted.


    "Duke, don''t you agree? Time is an ingredient of magic and miracles! Who would think that we would


    fall in love one day and have our own baby?" Belinda sighed as she took arge spoon of the ice water


    into her mouth. She felt that time flew by quickly especially when she noticed the young lovers around


    her.


    "No. Because I was already pretty sure that you were the special one for me at first sight. So what


    happened next was all natural to me." Duke said in a proud tone. He was quite self-assured.


    "Duke, I mean it! I''m not kidding." Belinda stared at him. But she felt very happy deep in heart. That


    was the sweetness of love.


    "Neither am I. Can''t you feel the sincerity in my words?" Duke smiled andbed back her hair with


    his hand to keep it away from the ice water she was eating.


    "I see nothing but a rascal in front of me right now!" Belinda grinned. She couldn''t help but tease him.


    This was marriage. Couples turned to be alike in temperament after they lived with each other for a


    while. They might even merge into a single personality.


    "Belinda, you should feel lucky that you are a pregnant woman now, otherwise you would see how I will


    make you convinced of what a rascal I am. And you''ll regret it!" Duke wore a sly and arrogant smile,


    making him look all the more fascinating. It was as though all the lights shone on him as one spotlight


    and he became the only one underneath it.


    "You are shameless." Belinda felt hot on her face and her face immediately blushed. She looked


    around uneasily and then became relieved when she found that no one else heard them.


    "You like it too, don''t you?" Duke looked at her crimson face and smiled yfully. He couldn''t


    understand why an open- minded woman like Belinda would always flush at his semi-dirty jokes. ·


    "You jerk! Quiet down!" Belinda suddenly regretted that she had demanded to eat ice. Duke was saying


    this intentionally. He only wanted to teach her a lesson and intimidate her not to make things difficult for


    him next time.


    "Don''t worry! Other young lovers are kissing, hugging and doing other things right now. They don''t have


    time to listen to our boring conversation." Duke nced around. His cold stare shook away all the


    gazes boring into him from around. He meant what he said and he would make sure everything was


    under his control.


    Belinda was flustered to see this. It was a good thing that her husband was very popr, which justified


    her good taste in men. But she also felt very ufortable with other women ogling her husband. She


    didn''t want others to covet the man she owned.


    Wandering on the street with no clear ce to go, Leena was terribly distraught. What made her upset


    was not only about the issue with Patricia. She felt more uneasy with the traditional herbal medicine


    Tom prescribed for her. She thought that it was not that simple to just give her such a prescription only


    because she was in poor health. And he was quite equivocal in exining the purpose of these


    medicines. That made her more edgy.


    The night was most morous in S City. Walking on the busy street, Leena was bumped by a passer-


    by who was going in a hurry. Nevertheless, she still walked forward as if nothing happened. She

    seemed too lost in her thoughts that she didn''t even feel any pain.


    When the phone rang, she didn''t n to answer and just let it be. ·She wanted to leave the world


    behind her just for once. But the person who called seemed to be so persistent. The phone kept ringing


    and ringing, and she had no choice but to pick it up.


    "Hi, Tom, what''s going on?" Leena frowned at the prospect that he would urge her to send him the


    video recording of her drinking up all the herbal medicines. She hadn''t gotten home, so she hadn''t


    taken the medicine yet.


    "Leena,e to the hospital! Patricia has woken up!" Leena almost dropped the phone. She couldn''t


    believe what she just heard. But Tom''s excited voice came through loud and clear. Leena could sense


    how happy he was!


    "What? Patricia woke up? Are you sure? Okay, I will be there right away. Take care of her." Leena''s


    gloomy face faded away. She beamed and turned around, running towards the direction in which her


    car was parked. She was very excited to hear such good news and couldn''t wait to get to the hospital.


    "Don''t hurry too much and be careful on the way here," Tom added with concern, his eyes still fixed on


    Patricia who was staring at him with confusion.
