"So what? Big deal! What kind of information can you possibly offer me? Even if you can, I don't care." Jessica was born into a noble family. It was natural that she despised Mary, for she had stepped into the upper class a while ago, and she was a country girl in nature. If she had a choice, she wouldn't even talk to Mary.
"Are you sure? Then don't beg me to tell you later!" Jessica was so arrogant that Mary badly wanted to tear her apart. But for the time being there was nothing she could do about Jessica. She could only wish that Jessica would fall into her trap.
"Me begging you? I'm not playing. Good bye." Jessica sneered, 'Mary, you are not equipped to play with me! Do you think I spent all those years with Edward doing nothing? How would I stand out if I'm not smart? I was the only woman by his side for a reason!'
"Jessica, it's about the woman Edward loves. Aren't you interested? Perhaps you have already given up and you don't want to know who beat you after all!" Mary kept on provoking Jessica. She didn't think that Jessica would still be indifferent after hearing what she said.
"Whatever I want to know, I can find out on my own. I don't need your help." Jessica didn't even look at Mary as she replied dismissively. "Well, good luck with that! When you find nothing on your own, I hope you'd still be as arrogant as you are right now " Mary stroked her curly hair and smirked at Jessica. She then passed by her and left.
Biting her lip in rage, Jessica seriously wanted to slap Mary. She knew about Mary and her shabby behaviors. However, she didn't do anything to her because Mary never messed with her. Now that Mary had dared to pick on her like this, she would definitely fight back.
Clenching on the steering wheel, Edward seemed hesitant. Jessica's last sentence kept repeating itself in his mind. He was shocked, not because of his guilt towards Jessica, but the fact that he had neglected Daisy for so long. He suddenly felt grateful towards Daisy for not pushing him away even though he didn't care about her earlier, also for the fact that she took such good care of their son even though he was not there for her. On top of all, he was thankful that she gave him a second chance.
As for Jessica, they were indeed together. But things didn't work out and they broke up. It was as simple as that. But now she was back, claiming she's pregnant with his child. Edward was afraid that Daisy wouldn't listen to his side of the story once she found out about this. He wanted to tell her before she got to know it from Jessica, but he didn't know how to start.
Fretfully, Edward hit the brakes and halted in front of the villa. Instead of getting out of the car, Edward leaned back and got immersed in his thoughts, fingers tapping unconsciously on the steering wheel. He wondered how to keep Daisy out of the mess.
Feeling puzzled, Luke stood near the car. He looked at Edward's car but didn't say anything. He knew what had happened earlier. He was stunned by Jessica's news. She said that she was pregnant and it was Mr. Mu's child. How was it possible? It couldn't be Edward's. He didn't believe her.
A honk shook Edward from his thoughts. A VW POLO parked beside Edward's car. Daisy stepped out of the car.
Edward let out a soft smile as soon as he saw the woman he had been missing the whole day. He shook his head, opened the door, and walked towards Daisy.
"Honey, you're home early today!" Edward pulled Daisy into his arms and instantly kissed her rosy lips. Then he held her by the waist and gazed into her eyes.
"Why don't you go inside?" Daisy had got used to his affectionate touch. She would blush, but she wouldn't push him away anymore.
"I know, sis! Edward was waiting for you!" Jumping out of the car, Leena stared at Daisy's red cheeks and snickered.
"What are you doing here? Why aren't you home?" Edward was speechless. Leena chatted with Daisy all night long every time she stayed over. If she stayed tonight, he wouldn't get a chance to see his wife.
"Haha! Edward, don't be so scared! Relax! I won't keep sis Daisy to myself tonight. You don't have to worry about me!" Leena knew why Edward wasn't happy to see her. She just wanted to tease him. She still held a grudge against Edward for not defending her in front of Mr. Cold.
"Mommy, daddy! You're home together!" Justin ran out of the house as soon as he saw his parents. Smiling broadly, he threw himself into their arms.
"Hey! Little champ! Don't you see me here? Why didn't you say hello to me?" Leena picked on Justin again. The more Justin ignored her, the more she wanted to tease him.
"Why aren't you home?" He was definitely Edward's son. He asked her the same question his father did. He didn't see Leena all morning and he thought she had gone back home. Why did she come back again? What did she want?
"Hey! Why are you two treating me like this! You don't like me? I was going to say that I'll go home tomorrow, but I've changed my mind! I've decided to stay here for as long as I want to!" Leena grunted and glanced at Edward and Justin, gloating. 'Don't you dare drive me away!' Leena thought.
"Well! Auntie Leena, please don't be serious! I was just joking. I didn't see you all day. I really missed you." Hearing Leena's plan to extend her stay, Justin immediately changed his tone and started flattering her. She couldn't stay here! It would be the living hell for him!
