"Co on, it's warr inside," Kevin urged gently. Seeing Leena trembling, he really wanted to hold her and warm her up. But since Daisy had an arm around her, it was impossible for him to get between them. So he could only look at Leena worriedly.
Mr. Mu was not used to waiting. As a matter of fact, he loathed it. But this beca a thing of the past. Ever since he found Daisy, he waited for her. A lot. He'd gotten used to waiting for her, so he didn't get upset when she walked in. Nor was he surprised.
When Daisy and the other three entered the VIP room, everyone else was already there, including the cute and cool kid, Justin. It had been quite a while since Kevin saw him last. Unsurprisingly, he was a lot taller than before.
"Do you still like , Uncle Kevin? How co I don't see you anymore?" As soon as Justin saw Kevin, he threw himself into the major general's arms, neglecting his own mother. Little kids were like that sotis. They'd lived in the sa military dorm for years, and Kevin was always available as a playmate. They were still very attached to each other, and absence had only deepened their bond.
Kevin stood back and took a look at the kid, as if he was trying to get a better view of soone quite tall. "Hey kiddo! Ya miss ?" Kevin asked, kneeling beside Justin and gently putting his hand on his shoulder. Justin was only six, but because his parents were both tall, he was much taller than most children his age. Kevin guessed that he must be over 4-and-a-half-feet now. He'd grown a lot in a short period of ti. In fact, he might eventually grow up to be taller than Edward.
"Of course, I miss you every day!" answered Justin lovingly, nestling himself in Kevin's arms. Kevin liked the feeling. He'd thought about kids every once in awhile, because these kinds of scenes ward his heart.
As for Claire, this was not her environnt. While she liked parties, she didn't know anyone here. What was more, Rain was here. That man captured her attention and got her heart racing, but he didn't even know she existed. He casually glanced in her direction, then looked away again. Claire felt rather shy and awkward after that.
"Claire, co and sit down. Gerard will be here soon, I need to go out and et him," Leena said, motioning for Claire to sit next to Belinda. She knew Claire had a crush on Rain, and she saw the poor girl looking very lost and uncomfortable. Maybe if she sat next to soone she'd already t, she'd open up and relax. This was supposed to be fun.
"I'll go with you," Kevin said quickly. He let go of Justin and stoo
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other won.
Eventually she stord off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishnt.
ore he could do anything. She was always like that. She could dish it out, but not take it well.
But Duke didn't buy it. He kept looking Belinda in the eye, a wicked smile spreading across his face. 'Too late, it's no use trying to please now, ' he thought. 'You'll find out tonight. I'm gonna teach you a hard lesson. Let's see you ss with again.' Fortunately, his terrible plan fell through, because of so event well beyond his control. But this was even better than doling out punishnt, sothing that would make him feel beside himself with joy.
"Co on, that all you got? I thought you could beard the lion in his den. You're such a wuss," Rain said scornfully. He was enjoying the show, despite his panic at Duke's anger. She was getting the best of Duke, and he always enjoyed watching that. He was hoping that maybe she'd take it further.
"Shut up, Rain. Dude, can't you see how pissed he is? Rember, you're sitting right next to him," Edward said in a low voice, mouth curled into a sneer. He had been sitting back and enjoying the show himself, but Rain's bluntness ca at the worst ti. Rain was a good friend, but sotis he needed a little prodding to get back on track. He needed to stop playing with fire, lest he got burned.
"Yeah. Have a bit of a brain fart, dude? That would explain a lot," Tom said in a voice dripping with sarcasm, a flicker of amusent in his eyes. He couldn't resist getting his two cents in. Duke was dangerous to ss with, but Rain was an easy target.
"Hey, back off, dude! Don't judge , you quack!" Rain fired back. But he rubbed his nose out of embarrassnt. He finally realized that, yeah, it was a dumb idea to insert himself in this lovers' quarrel.
