"Daddy, you smell good." Justin took a deep breath to prove he wasn't lying, but it seemed that he was flattering his daddy. "Little champ, you must keep on learning something new. Otherwise, how will you take over FX International Group in the future?" Edward wasn't fooled. He had seen through Justin's flattery.
Daisy looked at Edward, wondering whether Edward had already considered Justin as his only heir.
"Honey, what's wrong? Is my face still dirty? Noticing Daisy's gaze, he asked and touched his face.
"Oh, no. You and Justin go downstairs first. I need to wash up too." There were many doubts in Daisy's mind. 'Is Justin his only son? Will I be his only wife?' But Daisy didn't speak her mind.
"OK, hurry up. We'll wait downstairs." At times Daisy's behavior confused him, like that little daze. He didn't know what had caused that sadness. Sometimes he thought they were intimate like lovers, but there were moments when he felt they were strangers who couldn't get into each other's heart.
"OK. Will do." Daisy smiled and went upstairs.
Edward looked at her slender figure. Although she looked great in the army uniform, his heart ached when thinking of how hard she had worked for her present position.
Daisy didn't know what Edward was thinking. When she got into the room, she saw his clothes thrown on the floor. She was annoyed, and she felt the need to discuss this with Edward.
When she got downstairs, an unexpected guest was sitting there-Leena, who had done something wrong and had run away from home, according to Mr. Cold's words. Justin was unhappy about it. He looked at the evil woman and wondered what the hell she was doing in his home. She had brought a lot of luggage with her. Was she moving in? That would give Justin a nervous breakdown.
"Are you seeking an asylum?" Edward joked. The pretty girl ran away every time she made a mistake, but not to many places.
"No, Edward. I was just passing by and wanted to check-in on Justin." Leena giggled. Her brother wasn't scary enough to make her run away from home. On her way back from a fashion show, she felt really exhausted. Imagining Duke's nagging at home, she thought she'd rather stay in Edward's house for a few days and then go home.
"Aunt Leena, are you really just stopping by?" Justin was happy. He didn't want a troublemaker like her in his house.
"Er...I intended to...but...I have changed my mind. I am thinking of staying for a couple of days. Won't you like that?" Leena knew what Justin was thinking. She paused on purpose and gave a cunning smile. 'Little Champ. Do you really think I don't know what you are thinking? I will stay here. You don't like me, and you avoid me all the time. Wait and see how I will trick you.'
Justin was disappointed by Leena's answer. He looked at Edward in the hope that he could convince her to change her mind. He couldn't bear the image of staying with her under the same roof.
"Leena, glad to see you." Daisy greeted. She was amazed to see how quickly Leena had got here.
"You are...sis?" Leena looked at the woman in the army uniform doubtfully.
"Of course! Do I look strange?" Seeing how surprised Leena was, Daisy checked her outfit but didn't see anything wrong.
"Sis, you're not only strange but also shocking. Is your uniform real?" Leena walked closer to Daisy and scanned her remarkable uniform. She was impressed. Daisy had become her new idol now.
"Gee! How ignorant!" Justin rolled his eyes disdainfully and sneered. Who would be stupid enough to walk around in a counterfeit uniform unless they wished to put behind bars.
Yes, it is. Daisy looked at Leena and smiled, enjoying teasing this lovely girl.
Oh., Goodness! It feels like being hit by lightning. Leena pretending to be fainting. She was about to lean on Daisy but was pulled back by Edward before she could touch her.
Edward what are you doing? Leena was annoyed. She glared at him.
What do you think? Time to eat. Edward acted innocent. He had done it intentionally.
His woman had been working hard all day ;he didn't want to see someone leaning on her.
Hey, don't be so petty! Just a little hug. No big deal. Leena didn't believe him. She knew he just didn't want her to hug Daisy. He could have said it forthright. Why bother making up excuses?
Kiddo, be good. Otherwise I will call your brother and ask him to take you home. She had seen through Edward, but he wasn't mad, just embarrassed.
