Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1531 The Meaning Of Family (Part One)

"Are you saying that I am a terrible brother?" An evil smile cracked on Duke's lips. He raised his

eyebrows and gave Belinda a teasing glare.

"Ah? I don't know what are you talking about. I never said that," replied Belinda as she tried to remain

casual. She leaned her back against the headboard of their bed and hoped to relax. She wanted to

stay cool but Duke's dangerous eyes still managed to send chills down her spine. 'I know that he won't

do anything to me right now. So why am I still shaking? This is so strange. Could it be his aura? Is it

why I can't ignore him?' she thought.

"Stop arguing with me. You'll know you are wrong after you give birth to our baby." Duke stared at

Belinda's stomach with a serious expression. A few seconds after, he lifted his hand to touch her

tummy lightly. He thought, 'Who said that women are the only ones who suffer from pregnancy? I'm

suffering, too.'

"Are you threatening me?" Belinda frowned at him and then looked down at her tummy too. "Baby, did

you hear that? Your father doesn't love us." She pretended to be very sad. However, she was really

happy deep down inside her. She was even smiling secretly while talking to her child.

In reaction, Duke twitched his mouth while thinking, 'Does this woman really think that I can't do

anything to her right now? Is that why she provoked me shamelessly?'

"Do you really think that I would not do anything to you right now? Huh?" Without any ado, Duke

suddenly rolled over quickly and leveraged himself above Belinda. He tactically pinned her against the

bed. He pressed his upper body against hers sensually while being careful not to give any pressure on

her tummy. In a snap, he dove for her lips in an erotic kiss that was explosive enough to blow her mind.

"What are you doing?" Belinda's eyes widened in shock as she swallowed. Red crept to her cheeks as

the gentle pressure from Duke lit tiny fires on her skin. 'Oh my God! Is Duke serious about this?'

"Just as you wished." Duke hissed before kissing her deeply again. His lips were eager and hungry as

he tasted every crevice of her mouth. There was a hint of anxiety and anger on how he claimed her Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

and it was making Belinda's head swirl with all the sensations.

What was love? Was it a kiss? A look? Or a special feeling that existed inside people's hearts? No

matter what it was, one thing for sure was that love didn't need too many words. It just needed two

people to be happy. Most of the time, it was the braver ones who tended to get the life they wanted.

Kevin arrived at Duke's place early the next day. Although exhaustion was visible on every corner of his

face, he was still undeniably handsome.

"You look like you didn't sleep last night. Are you that busy?" was the first things Duke said as soon as

he saw Kevin's tired face. He just couldn't help but taunt the military man.

"Yes. I've been on duty and stayed in the army base for several days. Thus, I look this tired." On the

other hand, Kevin didn't notice the sarcasm on Duke's tone and mistook what he said for a caring

question.

"Dad is waiting for you in the study." Hearing such a calm answer from Kevin, Duke felt a little bored

and continued reading the newspaper in his hands.

"Then, excuse me," said Kevin politely before turning to the direction of the mentioned room.

Regardless of how much Duke picked on him, there was just no way for Kevin to feel insulted at all. He

was a naturally cool-headed man and it would take a lot of bad things before one could fire him up.

A few seconds more and Kevin was already standing next to the study room. Nonetheless, he didn't

knock instantly. He just stood there as if he was in deep thought. It was already after a while when he

finally moved to raise his hand and knocked against the luxurious door.

"Come in." A loud voice came from the study. Just the sound of his voice was enough to let everyone

know that Lloyd was in good health.

"Happy New year, Dad. I am sorry that I didn't visit you until now," greeted Kevin in full respect as soon

as the door opened. He had always looked up to Lloyd, not only because he was Leena's father, but

because Lloyd was simply a great man. Meeting with Lloyd always led Kevin to learn more and more

things.

"Kevin, here you are. Why are you so thin now?" said Lloyd as soon as he saw his son-in-law. The

smile that cracked his face easily gave out how delighted he was.

"Really? Maybe it's because I haven't slept much these days. That must be the reason why I look

extremely exhausted too." Kevin ran his fingers through his hair awkwardly. He was still wearing his

army suit since he went here directly right after his shift. It was actually good that he still looked tall and

straight even after the sleepless nights.

"Have a seat. What do you want to drink? I'll have a servant prepare it for you." Honestly, Lloyd was

more enthusiastic about Kevin than his own son. He was just proud of being Kevin's father-in-law.

"No need. I have brought you guys some tea." It was when Duke came in without knocking on the door.

The reluctance on his face was too evident as he walked. He actually got no plan of serving the two

drinks. However, Belinda asked him to do it and warned that she would do it herself if he wouldn't. He

just didn't want her to do anything that could tire her while she was pregnant. Thus, he ended up

agreeing to whatever her request was.

"Aren't you going to the company today?" asked Lloyd in a surprised tone when he saw Duke.

"Yes, I was. However, I dropped the idea since Kevin came here. Otherwise, he would say I was mean

to him." Duke put the tea on the table. In reaction, Kevin immediately helped his brother-in-law arrange

the space for it. He knew that Duke was provoking him but he just smiled and didn't show any reaction

about it. He felt that Duke's remark was a sign of approval for him. He knew that Duke wasn't the type

of person to talk with people he didn't care about.
