Journey to Happy Ending novel Chapter 170

Justin's smirk froze when he saw the dramatic change in Duke's attitude. Duke was smiling. 'What is happening? Shouldn't Duke teach Leena a lesson? Why did he suddenly switch his expression to a smile? That's quite unexpected.' Justin thought to himself.

Meanwhile, Edward and Rain were quite calm about Duke's sudden transformation. They knew that Duke yielded to Leena every time. That was Duke----his bark was worse than his bite.

"That's all, uncle Duke? aren't you going to punish Leena with 50 push-ups?" Justin lost his composure. After all, he had tipped off Duke to see Leena get punished. But it was a totally different picture now.

"Why are you concerned with this? Go fly a kite." Leena stared at Justin who was stirring up trouble. She started wondering why Justin was so displeased with her and why did he want to see her get scolded so badly.

"Of course I am concerned with this. I am an impressionable child, if I see Leena get away without any consequences I will follow suit. Therefore, uncle Duke, you can't spare Leena, or one day she would cause bigger problems."

Justin said earnestly, his face exhibiting the coolness and poise inconsistent with his age. He gazed at Duke with his innocent eyes, trying to persuade him to punish Leena.

"LOL." Rain giggled at Justin's words. He was looking forward to seeing how Duke would deal with this problem.

At the same time, Edward restrained his smile and looked at Justin with appreciation. He had never thought that Justin would be the curse of Leena's life. He wondered who between the two will be defeated in the end.

"Come on, kid. We need to do some serious talk." Leena angrily walked towards Justin, held his hand and, before Duke voiced his thoughts, they ran upstairs. She was eager to know what's the problem between her and Justin. Why was Justin trying to give her a hard time?

"What's going on?" Duke found himself in a state of bewilderment from the moment he walked into Edward's villa. At first, he saw the scuffle between Daisy and Belinda, now the strife between Leena and Justin. He had no idea how all of this happened.

"I don't have any idea either. By the way, why did you all show up here unannounced?" Edward elegantly sat down on the sofa. Meanwhile, he cast an inquisitive glance at his guests, in anticipation of an answer.

"Didn't you know we are coming? Justin invited us. Didn't you ask him to do so?" Duke looked at Edward confusedly. He received Justin's call early in the morning. Justin had asked him to visit their house and pick up Leena.

"What? Justin told you to come?" Edward was surprised. He had been wondering who told Duke that Leena was at his place. It turned out to be Justin. He shouldn't have done it so evidently. If Leena found out that Justin ratted her out, things would turn uglier.

"Yes, it was Justin. He told me to come here. He also mentioned that we'll get to enjoy a show." Rain laughed joyfully. It was quite a show indeed. Duke and Belinda's appearance as a married couple was certainly a unique sight.

"A show in my house?" Edward didn't get it. He was puzzled.

"There is a show for sure. We have been watching it from the moment we stepped out of the car." Rain looked at Edward and laughed wickedly.

"It seems that someone is having a great time. I suppose you have forgotten about Annie now?" Edward never yielded. He would jest back whenever he was mocked.

"Ew! You are really good at ruining my mood. Hate you." Rain flicked the dust on his cuff. His evil smile disappeared completely.

"Why did you bring up Annie?" Duke had been too busy winning over Belinda to notice that Annie had arrived in S City.

"Someone is quite upset because he is alone. Annie has been back for several days, but she never called." Edward threw a playful look at Rain. He pressed Rain's soft spot to repress his gloating.

"No way. I remember that Annie said she wanted to marry only one man that is Rain. And now she has changed her heart and is marrying someone else?" Duke knew everything about Rain. They were old friends.

"She won't marry anyone else. Watch you words. You are a well-read man. You should be careful with your words." Rain decided to ignore Duke and Edward's quips. He knew they were trying to irritate him. His loss of temper would only please them. He would not let them ruin his good mood.

"Ew. You are also well-read man. So you would also be careful with your words? Come on, say something wise." Duke said slowly while laughing playfully.

"The problem is that my wise words may go over your big head. If you don't understand what I say, it's just a wastage of my time."

Rain changed his posture and taunted.

"Keep up your battle of words. I will take a shower first." Edward had had enough. He didn't want to listen to their squabble anymore.

"No way. You still follow the habit of showering? You are a Germophobic, aren't you?" Rain gazed at Edward and joked playfully, his eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"You will never understand the lifestyle of hygienic people. You should focus on making yourself a bit hygienic. Perhaps then you won't find us weird." Edward raised his thick brows at Rain, and then elegantly went upstairs like a true monarch.
