"Honey, it sounds that you want me to 'eat' you. How about coming to my villa tonight?" Instead of his icy face, Duke put on a naughty grin and got closer to Belinda.

"Rachel Qin, you think you're that important? Maybe, several years ago, I might trust you. But now I don't. You are no more than a shadow to me."
Duke got excited. His voice rose by a few decibels, and he looked grim. His icy eyes were fixed on the pretentious woman in front of him. 'When you didn't want me, you treated me like crap; now when you want me again, you come back and tell me you love me. How stupid do you think I am?'
