"What? Rachel Qin? When did you see her? Do you still think of her after so many years?" Edward frowned, and thought, 'Didn't she marry a rich foreign merchant? Why is she here? And right after Duke got married?'
"I told you already that I didn't love her anymore. How could I even think of her?" It had been painful for Duke at first, but as time went by, Rachel Qin's image in his memory had become vague, and eventually he didn't think of her at all.

"Hard to say. Boss, you'd better have a physical examination in the hospital. The consequences can be serious." Rain meant what he said. He knew how serious the matter was.
"You're right! That's what I'm thinking. Keep it from Daisy for me. She might overthink it." Edward lifted his eyes. He had made the mess in the first place, and he would fix it as soon as possible. He didn't want to affect Daisy's performance during the war game.
"Don't worry! We know how important this is." Duke then poured another glass of wine down his throat, and the other two men were also racing who could drink faster, as if they were trying to get hammered.
