The Duke actually publicly stated that he doesn't like Leslie Howard!
A trace of delight flashed across Winona Wallace's face.
However, Sheila Fletcher and Mrs. Wallace couldn't help but show some concern.
Leslie, who just had a smile on her face and wanted to obediently greet Sir Duke, suddenly felt a jolt in her heart.
Her breath paused slightly, and the greeting at the tip of her tongue was abruptly stuck.
Does Sir Duke not like her?
Leslie's long eyelashes drooped, fluttering to hide the fleeting disappointment in her eyes.
If he doesn't like her, then so be it. After all, it's David Redington who's with her, not Sir Duke.
Leslie felt a slight sense of relief, luckily she wasn't someone who deliberately tried to please her in-laws. There was just a fleeting trace of disappointment in her heart, which soon faded away.
But that momentary disappointment did not escape David Redington's dark blue eyes.
