Daddy, don't flirt

Chapter 417: What Juicy Gossip



“Crap,” Bruce sighs.
He did have a crush on Anna Pork, but he has cut her out since he saw her through.
“Well, Dan has married Jamie, so I think Eddie and Wendy will get married soon.”
Bruce says to himself, while he neither notices Duke’s gloomy face, nor senses the chill aloofness radiating off of him in waves.
“There’s no surprise that they should be together. After all, they have been best friends since high school. Why can’t I notice
Eddie loves Wendy? I used to think they’re just bros, ” Bruce says, his hands rubbing his chin.
“Well, it makes sense. They are a man and a woman, and what else affection can we expect of them? It has to be sexual love...
Holy shoot! What the heck are you doing?” Bruce is interrupted as he is startled by Duke, who punches the wall so hard that
there’s a hole in it.
Bruce hastily pats his chest with a shocked face. “It’s okay to damage the wall, but what if your hand is maimed? Are you
insane?”
Duke snorts dryly and countered, “There does exist other affection except sexual love. Do you think they are meant to be
together?”
Bruce is kind of shocked by Duke’s abnormal response.
Hold on.
Does he?
“Duke, do you love Wendy?” Bruce asks unbelievably as it sounds like Duke is jealousy.
Bruce doesn’t answer his question, which is a silent “Yes”.
“Don’t you have a crush on Joey Lan? How can you love Wendy?” Bruce is shocked trembling.
What juicy gossip!
No wonder Duke has never showed up with Joey together since Joey made a scene on the engagement party, not to mention
Bruce rarely saw Duke around during that time.

It turned out that Duke went to Wendy’s home to find her during that time. He used to think Duke went there for the sake of their
parents’ friendship, but now Bruce gets it that Duke is crushed on Wendy.
“How can you hide the secret from me, bro? It’s not cool.” Bruce hits his shoulder and says, “but Wendy and Eddie are so happy
as you can see, and they’re about to get married. It’s not that I don’t get your back, but you’d better quit now.”
Honestly, although Duke is his best friend, Bruce still thinks Wendy and Eddie match the most.
Duke is too stone-cold for outgoing girls like Wendy.
“As long as they’re not married, I still have a chance,” Bruce says with his eyes glowing with confidence.
Bruce looks at Duke and frowns as if Duke is a stranger. “Well, it’s immoral to steal others’ girlfriend, bro. Plus, for Joey Lan, you
have got Wendy thrown into the jail. I’m afraid she hasn’t forgiven you yet.”
Wendy is like a sister to Bruce, and he believes Wendy won’t hit Joey purposely, instead, he thinks it’s an accident.
However, Duke put Wendy into the jail which made her suffered a lot.
Fact is, Wendy had no motive to hit Joey. To grab Duke away from Joey? Impossible. Wendy would rather give it away rather
than grab it from others, if it doesn’t belong to her.
Bruce believes that Wendy is innocent in the accident.
“I know she will never forgive me.” Duke is reluctant to bring it up, his lips curving up with bitterness.
He wishes he could go back and make it right. He swears he’ll trust her whatever happens to Joey.
Duke did think about giving up to let go of Wendy.
But how can he put her down as he knows Wendy used to love him.
No wonder Wendy is clear about all his favorites.
He used to take it for granted as Wendy was not so important to him. All he cared for was Joey Lan who saved his life.
During the past five years, he used to come across her a lot, which he assumed was coincidental.

It turns out that’s because Wendy loved him.
The most miserable is that Wendy loved him before, but she doesn’t love him now.
Eventually, Wendy turns to the other man’s hug after he squanders her love.
Duke is miserably tortured by the truth with regret, but he’s too stubborn to quit. Even if Wendy’s family begin to despise him for
coming around too often, he still shamelessly gets close to Wendy in the name of business collaboration.
He never imagines he can swallow his pride in this way for a woman.
“Come on, bro. Just let it go,” Bruce sighs and talks Duke into giving up.
Wendy is too happy to care for Duke’s love.
“Never! She had a great crush on me, and I’m sure that I’ll get her love again,” Duke says confidently and walks away.
Bruce feels so speechless as Duke is too stubborn to accept the fact as Wendy loves Eddie instead of Duke.
...
Jamie steps into the lobby, but she doesn’t find Dan. The lobby is open-air with many beautiful tables and chairs of European
style bathed in the perfect dim light, which is an exotic and romantic place to have dinner.
But Jamie isn’t in that mood right now as she is hastily looking for her husband.
Maybe Wendy mistook a stranger for Dan?
