It'll Come Naturally

Chapter 144 My Lawful Wife

"It's all your fault." Belinda rolled her eyes. His smile was so annoying. Wasn't he the whole reason that she ached all over?

"Come on. Take my hand." Duke didn't argue with her. It was all his fault. With a doting smile on his face, he gently helped Belinda up.

Belinda didn't push him away, for she couldn't make it to the bathroom on her own. Now that he offered to help, she'd better accept it.

Belinda took a long hot bath to soothe her aching joints and muscles. She felt better after freshening up, but her legs were still weak.

"Come eat something." Noticing that she emerged from the bathroom, Duke put away the documents in his hands and seated her at the table.

"What time is it?" Duke had closed all the curtains in the room, he didn't want the sun to interrupt her rest. Belinda couldn't find a clock -- she had no idea how long she had slept.

"It's one in the afternoon. What's the matter?" Duke looked at her and kept filling the bowl with soup leisurely. He had put on his usual poker face.

"What? One in the afternoon? OMG! What should I do now!" Belinda jumped to her feet in panic. She was to attend the board meeting that morning. Her father would definitely give her an earful.

"Sit down. What's the fuss all about?" Duke frowned and grabbed her arm to make her sit down again. The meeting was probably over now.
