It was already afternoon, so Duke carried Wendy to the side of the car and gently placed her on the back seat. When he pulled the safety belt over, his arm accidentally touched the girl's bulge, and an electric current shot into his body. He trembled for a moment, and after staring bMillerkly for two seconds, he buckled up.

When she had been lying on his back just now, he had felt that she had grown up. He had wanted to shake off all thoughts in his mind because he could not continue to ponder over this matter. It wasn't good for him.

Duke looked at Wendy who was leaning on the backseat and unceasingly snorting. He really wanted to curse her and say what she had done, but those words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it out "I'm not going back, Duke, I can't go home." Wendy only felt unwell, but she was still conscious. With her current personality, she would definitely be scolded if she went back.

"If you don't go home, where do you want to go?" The man mocked her.

"I don't go back, my parents will scold me." Wendy muttered, she was still a little afraid.

"You dared to drink when you knew they would scold you. You deserve it." Duke did not spare her with his words, but he turned the car around and headed towards another road.

Wendy squinted her eyes and looked outside. Seeing that she was not on her way home, she couldn't help but ask him curiously: "Where are you bringing me to?"

"I don't know." Duke also had no destination.

"Then park the car. Let's take a walk by the river. I want to take a breathe." Wendy was very familiar with this area, there was a long river bank in front of them. And there were not many people at the moment, she could go down and walk.

Duke's face became serious, he did not answer her, but still stopped the car in the middle of the river's parking lot.

Wendy forcefully got off the carriage. The wind by the river was very cold, but with a single breath, she shivered and became even more clear-headed. Duke raised his head and looked at the sky. In spring, the weather changed very quickly, and it was still warm at noon. Now that the wind was blowing, he saw that Wendy had folded her arms in front of her chest, it was obvious that she was cold.

"Get in the car, don't blow you into a fool." Duke directly said to her.

Wendy did not dare to act tough, so she immediately climbed back onto the carriage.

Duke also returned to the driver's seat and closed the door, leaving the two of them speechless.

The atmosphere was a little strange. Duke lowered his head and looked at the steering wheel, not knowing what to say.

"Duke, when are you leaving?" Wendy finally stopped getting angry at him, because she felt that it was a waste of time.

"I've been transferred back to work. I'm not leaving yet." Duke answered her indifferently.

"Then what do you do?" Wendy immediately asked curiously.

Duke did not speak.

Wendy was just saying that she would not be angry, but now that she said that, she could not hold it in anymore, so she snorted: "If you don't want to say it, just don't say it, I don't want to hear it." Duke started to have a childish temper again, he could only smile helplessly.

"Any pMillers for tonight?" Wendy grumbled for a while, then asked him again.

"Maybe I'll treat my friends to a meal." Duke suddenly thought of his uncle's stern warning, and became annoyed.

"What friend? Is it a man or a woman?" Wendy was immediately curious.

Duke turned around and gMillerced at her: "There are men and women."

Wendy immediately felt sour: "Then can I go with you? Since you're going to treat them."

"No, not tonight." Duke's heart froze for a moment. If he let Wendy follow him, it would be a mess tonight.

"Why can't I? I promise I won't make things any harder for you. "Wendy really wanted to eat dinner with him.

"I see that you're pretty drunk, so I'll send you back." Duke replied to her as if he treasured her words.

She was so stifled that her arms were crossed over her chest, and felt that Duke seemed to have deliberately let her off.

Duke brought her to a road not far from her house and said to her: "It's almost dark, hurry go back home, don't let your family worry about you."

Wendy slammed the door of the car, without saying goodbye, she buried her head and ran back home. Duke's car did not leave immediately. He sat on the car and smoked a cigarette. His gaze never leaving the direction she ran in, until he felt that she had already entered the house. Only then did he extinguish his cigarette and quickly drove away.

When night fell, Duke changed into a new set of clothes and went to a restaurant.

Not the box, just the window. He stared out the window, lost in the flow of traffic.

"Duke!" All of a sudden, a beautiful female voice came over. Duke turned to look, only to see a lady dressed in a rose-red dress walking towards him. She had come over, and the strong fragrance of the perfume immediately pounced in front of him. When my grandfather informed me to come here, I didn't dare to believe it. I didn't expect that you would really be waiting for me here, I'm so happy." The woman who sat in front of Duke was that her father who was a high ranking official. Her grandfather was a military meritorious general, so she was of good background and was also very beautiful. Her name was Jenny and she was 25 years old this year.

Duke politely smiled at her: "Last time you and your grandfather specifically came to see me, I was not able to come see you in time due to the inconvenience of work, I am sorry."

"I know you're busy. I'm not angry." Jenny immediately laughed.

Duke could tell that Jenny was a woman with good training. Unfortunately, there was nothing to talk about between him and her, so he could only call a waiter and have Jenny order. Jenny did not stand on ceremony. After opening the menu, she ordered four dishes and a bottle of red wine.

"Duke, I haven't seen you in a few years. You've changed quite a bit, and you are more and more like a mature man." Jenny supported her chin with one hand, while smiling and looking at Duke, her eyes revealing an aura of desire, she did not hide it at all.

Duke laughed dryly: "You haven't changed much, you're still really pretty."

"You know how to praise people." Jenny's smile became wider, after that, she twisted both of her hands tightly in front of her, and peeked at Duke's expression: "Duke, my requirements aren't high of the wedding, I don't mind holding it anywhere, and more.... My grandpa also sent someone to take a look at the day. He will definitely choose the best day."

"Wait." Hearing her words, Duke's face stiffened, and quickly stopped her from speaking any further. He furrowed his brows, and said unhappily: "Jenny, we just met, and you're already talking about marriage. Who said we're going to get married?"

"My grandpa and your uncle have already discussed this. Don't you know it?" Jenny opened her eyes in shock.

"I don't know when it was discussed." Duke's chest felt stuffy for a moment, and his expression became even colder.

"How is that possible? The President clearly said that you would marry me. Duke, please stop joking around." Jenny immediately looked angry, and pouted: "Isn't the reason why we're eating tonight supposed to talk about marriage?"

Duke's mind was a little bMillerk, he felt that he had been played by his uncle.

"Jenny, you might be mistaken. The reason I invited you over for dinner was just to apologize for breaking the contract with you. I won't marry you." Duke did not want to speak in such a straightforward manner because it was very hurtful. However, Jenny's expression made him feel that if he did not speak clearly, she would be even more injured.

"What?" As expected, Jenny was shocked and her beautiful face became pale from anger. She became angry at once: "Duke, are you not satisfied with something? So you don't want to marry me?" Duke shook his head: "I don't know much about you, nor am I completely satisfied. I just feel that I have probably been tricked by my uncle, I have to replace him and replace out."

After Duke finished speaking, he stood up immediately: "I will pay. You take your time."

Jenny did not expect Duke to be leaving without even eating, so she immediately chased after him with a little anger. "Duke, don't go."

Duke's handsome face turned green, he took a few larger steps, and at the same time, Jenny stomped her feet on the ground.

Duke immediately drove to the hospital, and in the ward, Betty was serving soup to the Old President.

"Why did you decide for my marriage?" When Duke entered, he asked with a darkened face.
