Chapter 193 It Feels Nice To Have You At My Side

"Honey, you're bribing me!" Edward turned and took her in his arms. Drops of water beaded on his naked skin. He looked hot and fascinating.

"What if I am? Is it working?" Daisy blushed to see his bare chest, although she had seen it before.

"Since my dear wife asked, consider it done." Edward teased her. She blushed readily. Every time they got intimate, her face reddened.

"Edward, it feels nice to have you at my side," Daisy said in a barely audible voice. Too embarrassed to meet his eyes, she buried her face in his arms, and immersed herself in the scent of jasmine on his body.

Edward didn't hear her. He embraced her with his chin on her head. He enjoyed it and loved her even more.

Came evening, they had a nice dinner. As Daisy's retinue, Mark had to stick around. He had already packed a travel bag (at Daisy's suggestion) with a toothbrush, razor, etc. and slept in the guest room.

Justin loved this arrangement, because he would have one more playmate. He had fun that evening, unlike Leena. The proposal was never far from her thoughts, and she kept turning it over and over again in her mind.

Thinking of the next day's arrangement, Leena sighed. Kevin's proposal was tempting, but she was uncertain about marrying a stranger.

She knew nothing about him, such as his family, his age; did he like someone? On the other hand, she was attracted to the personal space he had promised her. She'd be free to do whatever she wanted. 'Damn! What should I do? Whatever I choose, there are drawbacks!'

She looked again at the note Kevin had left her that night, but to find that the more she looked at it, the more she wavered. She jumped on the bed and scratched her head, hoping an answer would come to her. Then she exhaled deeply, got to her feet and started walking outside. But she bumped into someone at the door.

"What are you rushing for?" Duke held her and asked coldly.

"Oops, brother, why are you downstairs?" Leena made a funny face and hugged him. She felt warm and safe in his arms.

"When are you going back to France to finish school?" Duke didn't push her away. She always acted like a spoiled child in front of Duke. He was used to it.

"Brother, I don't want to go back there. I want to stay and help you with your wedding ceremony." Actually, Leena's graduation was close. She was in an internship. She needed to email her instructor the design drafts on a regular basis. But she didn't tell her brother about it, because she was worried that she might be forbidden to go outside and have fun.

"You'd better go to France first. Belinda likes things to be simple, so the ceremony won't be complicated. You'll just be in the way." Duke said as he stroked her hair, with softness in his eyes.

He had thought an arrogant woman as Belinda would love a special wedding. He didn't understand why she had chosen a simple ceremony. Was it because of him? Or because she really was fond of smooth and straightforward events? Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"But I want to stay in the city. It's so much fun." In France, there was someone who had broken Leena's heart, although she wasn't sure whether it was love or not. She hadn't thought of him once ever since she came home. She doubted she would ever remember him if Duke hadn't brought France up.

"It's not up to you. I have to send you away before you get into serious trouble." Duke knew her too well to let her have her way. Just because so many people loved her in her family, she thought she could be irresponsible. Someone would take care of her mess, no matter how big it was.

"Brother, don't send me away. I promise I'll behave myself and keep out of trouble." Leena pleaded, with her arms around Duke's neck.

"Decision's already been made," Duke said firmly. This time she had made a mistake with Belinda and him, what if it were someone else? Would they let it go easily?

"If you keep pushing me, I'll find someone and get married tomorrow!" Leena yelled.

"Really? If you can, I won't mind." Duke laughed. He thought she was bluffing. 'I'll wait and see how you will find a man to marry you overnight.'

"Brother, remember what you just said! Promise me that you won't send me to France if I get married tomorrow." Leena made up her mind to marry Kevin. Duke had driven her to it. 'Marrying a stranger is no big deal! Maybe it will be exciting. After all, he is a handsome young military officer.'

"A bargain is a bargain. But if you cheat, the deal is off." Duke smiled. Evidently, he didn't believe she would be able to get married the next day.

And he would never believe that it was his words that helped Leena make up her mind. How would he react when he found out? It would be interesting to find out!
