Chapter 1358 The Sweetness Of Love (Part One)"Why didn't you tell me that she was also here?" Duke glanced at the ladies, scolding them. It seemed that all men were ruthless. Once their love for any woman was gone, they would not even want to see her or talk to her.
"What difference will it make if she is here or not?" Belinda said with a frown. To test whether a man still had feelings for someone, one should check whether she still had any influence on him. If his behavior quickly changed just because she was suddenly around, it only explained one thing - that he still loved her. If he felt at ease and handled it well, it meant that he had already gotten over her and he didn't care anything about her. action

"Then, why would you care so much whether we told you or not?" Belinda lifted her glass and took a sip, looking very peaceful. But deep inside, her emotions had gone up and down just like a roller coaster. Her blood was starting to boil, but she was trying to control it.

She used to take pleasure in irritating Belinda whenever they met. But now, she became more moderate in her jokes, and showed her lovely side in front of her more. Surely, it was because she didn't want to stress the baby in Belinda's belly.
"I know, I know! Thanks for your concern. Just be more careful with yourself. Duke, I'll leave now. I will call you when I get home." Leena said as she quickly left, giving no time for Duke to react.
"What's been going on with Leena recently? She looked pale today." Watching her recede into the distance, Duke muttered worriedly to Belinda.
