"Oh! You're Justin!" Hi! You're really sweet. Why don't you call me sister?" Leena said while taking the opportunity to kiss his cheeks. He was such a handsome boy. Another Edward when he grew up!
Leena's words made Rain laugh. He said, "Leena, you're too old to be his sister! Do you still consider yourself young? If it had been the olden times, you would have already mothered a bunch of children!" Leena stared at Rain but chose to ignore him. She knew how much he enjoyed making fun of her. She had become immune to his mockery. Her focus was on Justin now. He was such a lovely boy! Justin moved Leena's hands from his face; he looked at Edward helplessly. He desperately hoped that Edward would save him from Leena's warm welcome. He regretted that he had drawn this on himself! He was tasting his own bitter fruit now. He didn't expect that Leena would be so obsessed with him.
Edward chose to ignore Justin's signal. He held Daisy's hand and helped her sit down, leaving Justin in Leena's hands. 'Poor Justin. Hope he realizes that it's unwise to reveal oneself to anyone without understanding that person's true character. It is a good lesson for him. It's one of the biggest mistakes that one can make, especially in the business world. As my son, if he can't manage the mess that he caused himself, he's probably unfit to take over my business in the future.' Edward thought.
"Justin, let's sit down. You can sit next to me!" Leena asked, she had finally found someone she could play with. She felt that she made the right decision to come back. Many exciting things had transpired since she had been back. Edward suddenly got married and had a son too. It seemed there would be more fun in coming days!
"Eh! Well... Miss Leena. Sorry, But I'd rather sit next to Mr. Rain. I need to discuss something with him.
'Oh my God! She seemed obstinate! Her cunning looks are scary! Seems like she's plotting an attack on someone. I wonder who is her prey. Sitting next to her would mean walking right into her trap.' Justin thought.
"Hey, Justin, what do you want to discuss with me?" Rain asked. Rain looked at Justin who had eagerly fled to his side and asked. He was wondering whether Justin was about to bring up the old topic of asking him to go on a date with Daisy. Oh! No! If that were the case, he would be beaten to death by Edward. Since last time Edward had talked to him, his workload has doubled. He didn't even have the time to date anyone now.
Edward smiled. He knew that Rain was just an excuse for Justin to get away from Lenna. Although it sounded lame, it may help Justin out.
"Mr. Rain, you look very handsome today!" Justin said casually. He was talking rubbish of course! Nobody needed to tell Rain that he looked handsome. But he had nothing else to say to Rain.
"Okay! You are only using me. I know." Justin was such a clever boy. Rain had already seen through him. No one gives out complements to others without any reason.
"Mr. Rain, you are overthinking. I really do think you look very handsome today. There is no other reason." Justin flashed a lovely smile to him and said. Acting adorable was a useful technique in some circumstances. But this technique didn't work if one wasn't adorable, to begin with.
Rain looked at Justin with doubt. Really? He didn't believe Justin's words. Justin was supposed to be just as cunning as his father, who was a shrewd businessman.
"Sis, I can't help but wonder, why haven't we met you before." Leena transferred her attention from the adorable boy to the gorgeous woman.
"Um... Well.." Daisy faltered in her words, feeling helpless. She was wondering what to say to Leena. Was she going to say that earlier she was just a wife-in-name wife for Edward? Or she didn't appear in Edward's social circle before because he didn't love her when they got married?
"Leena, can't you just enjoy your food? There's so much of delicious food to fill up your mouth." While Daisy was caught in the dilemma of embarrassment, Edward said this to Leena to help her out.
"Huh! Edward, you're so mean! I was just curious!" Leena pouted. But what she said was true. She was quite curious about Daisy.
"If you have any questions, you can ask me. Don't bother Daisy. Let her have her meal. God knows she needs it!" Edward felt that Leena was too self-assured. She didn't seem overwhelmed by Daisy's calm demeanor at all.
Leena stared at Edward. She decided to let the question pass. Edward was a cunning man indeed! It would be impossible for her to get any answers from him.
"Come on, enjoy your food. You're too thin!" Edward said to Daisy while constantly serving food in her plate. As Justin was not sitting beside him, he was spared from looking after him. He was only taking care of Daisy now.
Rain didn't expect that the responsibility of looking after Justin would fall on him! He was speechless.
Upon hearing Edward's words, Daisy raised her head and stared at him. She was not thin at all. Was he expecting her to turn into a fat pig? Her figure was ideal, and she was quite sure of that. She would not make any assertions on other things, but she certainly knew that her figure was the best.
"Isn't it? I don't feel anything when I touch you. So you'd better try to become plumper." Edward suddenly leaned towards her and murmured into her ears with a sensuous smile.
"Daisy was shocked, hearing what Edward said to her. The chopsticks slipped from her hands and fell to the ground. The clink immediately attracted everyone's attention. Daisy's face reddened instantly.
"Daisy, what happened?" Rain asked. He observed Edward's sinister smile and Daisy's crimsoned face. He felt that they were a suspicious couple. He wondered what Edward had said to Daisy to prompt such a reaction.
"Oh! Nothing. The chopsticks just slipped." Daisy replied. She was really embarrassed. She felt that now her image had been ruined for good. She didn't expect Edward to say something like this to her suddenly. He was such a crude man. He was flirting with her with so many people present. Although his voice was low, Daisy was really mad about this!
"Mom, your face is red. Are you feeling hot?" Justin asked Daisy with concern.
"Yes! Sis, are you all right?" Leena noticed Daisy's odd behavior and asked curiously. "..." Daisy was very embarrassed. It was all because of Edward. She stared bitterly at Edward. But Edward felt at ease, and it seemed that he was not going to help her out.
"Why are you looking at me? Is it because you suddenly realize your husband is looking very handsome today?" Everybody felt sick to hear his words. The man was too self-absorbed!
Duke didn't say anything. He had been watching Edward all this time. He wanted to find out whether Edward was serious about this relationship. It surprised him that the proud Mr. Edward would be considerate enough to serve food for Daisy. And his gaze upon her was filled with intense love.
