Chapter 152 Your Family Has Been My Family
Belinda was standing outside her house; she had no intention of going in. She had been dawdling
away her time at the office after finishing her work. She reluctantly headed downstairs because she
knew that the oue wouldn''t be delightful. She had no idea what Duke had told her father. She met
Duke the iceberg man over there, he brought a cool feeling to the hot day!
"Belinda, those who know you would think you are going home, but those who don''t know you might
think you are about to climb the wall." Duke looked at Belinda snidely, because he had never seen
anyone hesitate to enter his or her own house. He thought, it''s okay for her to embarrass herself, but
he shouldn''t waste his time standing outside the house like a fool.
"What! Climb the wall? Duke, do you know what that means? Please, don''t judge me if you don''t know
me. People wouldugh at me." Belinda said and rolled her eyes impatiently. If her father hadn''t said
that she couldn''te back home unless she brought Duke with her, she wouldn''t have been trapped
in this situation.
"Standing outside like this was far more embarrassing than beingughed at by others." Duke gave
Belinda a frigid nce, which made her frightened. Usually, Belinda wasn''t afraid of anything, but she
was scared of his indifference.
"Duke, are you sure you should go inside? Are you confident that my dad won''t chase you out ?"
Belinda didn''t believe inpromising. Although she expected the answer she still had to give it a try.
He might have changed his mind.
Duke didn''t reply to her instead he went straight inside the vi. He decided not to waste his time
standing there discussing the problem. It was much easier to just walk inside. He wondered, is it
disgraceful for her to introduce Duke to her family? And hiding was the worst option.
"Hey! Duke, are you sure you want to go inside? Hey, why don''t you fucking wait for me!" Belinda didn''t
anticipate that Duke would go inside without telling her. In a panic, she hastened to follow him and
pounced onto his back when Duke paused all of a sudden.
"Belinda, if you say another vulgar word, I won''t mind cleaning your mouth for you." Duke didn''t
understand how ady of noble birth could say such dirty words.
"Uh! Duke, you have no sense of humor."
Belinda rolled her eyes desperately and thought: oh my god! Why did she feel so stressful at the
thought of her future life with Duke?
"Hehe! Duke! I had never imagined that we could be a family. Last time I saw your father, I was
wondering how I''ll introduce you to my daughter. I am surprised to see that you two are moving faster
than I thought."
Zachary knew Duke well. His sly smile didn''t leave his face since he found that Duke was dating his
daughter. Duke was the most eligible bachelor in S City! And surprisingly, his daughter had won Duke''s
heart. In his mind, Zachary started measuring the benefits he could get from this rtionship. He didn''t
care much about the fact that his daughter was with Duke so early in the morning.
As all the mothers-inw do, the longer Sherry looked at Duke, the more she liked him. Although Duke
was indifferent in nature, she thought it was barely worth mentioning as long as he could control
Belinda. Sherry really liked her handsome and cool son-inw. Because nowhere else could she find
such a good match like Duke for her daughter! Sherry med her daughter for not introducing them to
Duke earlier. Her father could have stopped worrying and arranging blind dates for her.
"Dad, I feel sorry for being so inconsiderate and not visiting you earlier." Duke didn''t feel awkward to
address Belinda''s father in this way, but Belinda had a problem with this.
"Hey! Duke. Are you drunk? This is my dad. Since when did he be your dad?" Belinda said and
stared at Duke irritably. How easy it was for Duke to form an alliance with other people, she thought.
Who was he calling dad? His dad was at his own house.
"From the moment our marriage contractmenced, your family has been my family. I don''t think it''s
inappropriate for me to address him in this way." Duke had a strong personality, but he was tender
when it came to family matters. Once he was sure about something, he would cut to the chase without
any pretense.
"Hehe! You called me appropriately Duke. Let her be. She''s just jealous." Sherry was still studying
Duke. See! Like she said, only a man like Duke could win over Belinda. If it had been any other man,
Belinda wouldn''t have behaved so graciously.
"Mom. I am sorry. Don''tugh at me, please." Duke got emotional when he said "mom". He forgot how
long it had been since he had said this warm word. He never thought he could say this word again, he
felt warm in Sherry''spany.
"That''s fine. I should thank you for tolerating my daughter''s bad temper. You must have known about
her temper, I presume. I''m afraid you''ll have to bear with her perpetually." Sherry carried herself with
elegance and dignity. Inparison, her daughter Belinda was quite weird. Sometimes she felt
helpless because of this, but she had to ept it since Sherry had spoiled Belinda herself.
"Mom, what do you mean? Don''t you think I have a good personality? Don''t you see he put on that
poker face all the time? The truth is it''s me who would bear with him!"

At that moment Belinda had forgotten what she always insisted. Typically, she didn''t entertain the idea
of putting herself and Duke together.
Duke smiled slightly and thought Belinda was a hypocrite. The truth was that she had be aware of
her new identity, but she still tried to mess up things. This was not like her at all.
"Oh Belinda, just look at you. How could youin about Duke? You should feel lucky that Duke
doesn''t disapprove of you." Everyone knew about Duke''s good reputation. He was the most eligible
son-inw for the rich wives in S City. Sherry didn''t have any high hopes for her daughter. Now that
Duke had be her son-inw, she was on cloud nine.
