Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 109 Could I Have Your Promise

"Hello" Daisy nodded at Duke with a gentle smile. She didn't mind that Edward put his arm around her

waist. Just let it be, she thought. She realized that she loved him, and it was unnecessary to hide it.

Besides, she also enjoyed the tender feeling of being held by him.

"Mr Duke, when did you get married? Why didn't you ask me to be the flower boy at your wedding

ceremony?" Justin was determined to know the answer. He shoved Leena aside and jumped into

Duke's arms.

Leena was displeased when Justin pushed her. But she decided to forgive him as she felt Justin had

asked an excellent question. It was important to bring Belinda and Duke together.

"Do you want to be a flower boy? Well, when I get married, I will ask you to be my flower boy. You have

my word." Duke didn't answer Justin's question accurately. He was smart to skip the main point. He

only replied to the part that concerned Justin.

"Okay! Mr. Duke, you'd better get married as soon as possible. I can't wait any longer to be your flower

boy. In a few years, I would be too old to be a flower boy." Justin said in an innocent voice with his head

tilted gracefully.

"Justin, you don't have to worry about this. Because your wish will come true very soon!" Leena said.

Her eyes were glowing with evasive looks. She insured Justin with full confidence. She felt that Belinda

and Duke just needed a little push. But she didn't know what would happen to her if they came to know

about her plan. Would Belinda boil her in a pan if her plan was brought to light? Leena thought.

Justin helplessly sighed in his heart. 'Ah! Who would be Miss Leena's prey this time? I'm sure this time

it won't be me.'

Duke squinted at Belinda. There was a sneaky expression in his eyes.

Daisy looked at Edward dubiously; she was wondering what Leena was implying. Maybe Edward knew.

Edward smiled and shook his head at Daisy. It seemed that Daisy had regarded him as Doctor-Know-

It-All who could answer any question. In fact, he was equally confused.

"Really? Miss Leena." Justin asked. As he thought that he was not the object of her plot this time, he

felt free to ask her any questions. He really wanted to know more about this.

"Of course it's true. But I need your help, too." Leena said to Justin with a flattering smile. As her smile

grew more cunning, her words started making Justin uneasy. 'Could I take back what I said just now?

What does this have to do with me? I'm a good boy. Don't deceive me.' Justin thought.

"Emm... Miss Leena, I believe you got it wrong. I don't think that I can be of any help to you." Justin

mumbled, hoping that Leena would change her mind and leave him alone.

"Hurry up, get in the car! What are you doing?" Edward urged with a frown. Although the sun had

already sunk, he still could not stand the scorching heat.

"Edward, Justin will be in our car! you can go ahead." Leena said to Edward with a flattering smile. She

hauled Justin who was about to escape and forced him into Duke's car.

Duke saw Leena's swift move and felt confused. He hesitated for a while, wondering what was on her

mind. He then nodded to Daisy with regret and got in the car.

"Belinda, see you at the restaurant." Daisy elbowed Belinda who looked dazed. She seemed to be lost

in deep thought.

"Oh! Okay, let's go! Or you can go with me, I'll drive you there." Belinda came back to her senses and

joked. She said it purposely to see how Edward would react.

"Oh! Thank you, Belinda. Why don't you take care of yourself? My wife will go with me." Edward stared

hard at Belinda. He was annoyed by her proposal.

"Haha!" Edward. I was just kidding. Don't you think that you are overreacting?" Belinda waved her hand

at them and got into her car.

The truth is, she was covering her nervousness with the joke. It was undeniable that she felt a little

unhappy when she heard what Leena had said. Perhaps it was because Leena had been calling her

sister-in-law for the past few days. Otherwise, how was she concerned about Duke's marriage? But

why was she feeling so upset now? Was it because she had gotten used to the title Leena had given

her? Had she already taken herself as Duke's lady? Belinda wondered.

"Let's go!" Edward opened the door of the passenger's seat for Daisy. He waited for her to get in the

car and then he closed the door. Then he also got in the car. But Edward sat on the driver's seat

quietly, as if trying to say something.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you driving the car?" Daisy turned her head towards Edward and asked

curiously. She was wondering what was on his mind. He seemed a little distraught.

Edward didn't say anything. He touched her face with his fingers and gazed deeply into her eyes as if

trying to look inside her heart.

"Honey, if I ever do something that breaks your heart, please give me a chance to explain. Promise me

that you won't leave me without a word like you did last time. Believe me that I will never break my

promise to you. Okay?"

Edward said gently with a husky voice. His tone was heavy as if he was begging. He worried that ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

something might happen to them, but he didn't know what. This feeling kept bothering him constantly.

Daisy stroked his handsome face with her tender fingers. She didn't know why Edward suddenly

became so sentimental. But she could feel that he was serious with his words.

"Edward, does this mean you have started caring about me? Are you asking for my promise? Or are

you assuming that you will do something that will break my heart?" Daisy looked firmly at him. She was

impressed by his tenderness.

Edward didn't say anything. He slowly kissed her red lips. His movement was so gentle that she

couldn't even feel his breath. While savoring her sweet kiss, he was setting up a tender trap, making

her irresistible to his seduction and having her fall in passionate love.

"Could I have your promise?" Edward stopped kissing and gasped slightly. He murmured in her ear,

with his forehead against hers.

Daisy's face blushed. Although it wasn't the first time they kissed, it still made her face blush, and her

heart beat faster.
