"Mr. Mu came here on the spur of the moment. I really don't know why." What Luke said was true. Wherever Edward went, he followed and never asked why.
"Okay. "Luke, go with Mark. Show him the way to our house. Edward and I will be along later." Even though Edward was there to pick her up, she still thought it important to show Mark where she lived. Something told her he might feel better knowing she lived in a beautiful house.
"Okay, Mrs. Mu." Since Edward would be with Daisy, there was nothing for Luke to worry about.
"Mark, go with Luke! Follow his car. Take it slow driving through that neighborhood. When you get there, relax. Just feel at home like you're on base. And Justin's there too. Let him know I'll be home in a bit." said Daisy. Daisy worried that Mark would be overwhelmed when he saw Edward's luxury house. He needed to be prepared.
"Okay, Colonel." Mark replied. Mark grew up in a rural area. So it was rare for him to see rich people like Edward who drove luxury cars. He was excited to visit Daisy's place, but he was also nervous--he didn't know what to expect. But Daisy just told him to chill, and he felt better.
Daisy nodded at them, watching them leave. Then she turned her head to look at the man sleeping soundly in the car. She smiled softly and reached out her hands to see if the car door was unlocked. It was. Why? She frowned with doubt, and then she gently sat down in the car.
She tilted her head to gaze at his handsome face. Her heart was full of happiness and sweetness. There were countless women who wanted him. But at this moment, he belonged only to her.
She raised her hand and touched his forehead, and felt his delicate skin. She indulged herself in this moment. This was unimaginable for her. She had dreamed of this opportunity thousands of times and it was right here within reach. Edward was beside her. She felt free to touch his warm skin simply by raising her hand. This made her very emotional.
'He looks very charming. No wonder he's always the center of attention, and has tons of women around. How many women have been in his arms? And how many women have tasted his sexy lips?' Daisy thought.
Although she repeatedly reminded herself to ignore this, sometimes she just couldn't control her mind. Her cold fingers paused on his warm lips. She gently swept over the soft lips with her fingers, her thoughts wandered.
She was lost in her memory, the pale past. He was still the man who was deeply rooted in the bottom of her heart. Sometimes she felt frightened. She feared that the happiness she enjoyed now was only a dream. And there was Jessica. Jessica and Edward had been together for years, while she herself was only with him for several months. Was it possible for her to win over him in such a short period? Daisy thought.
Love also hurts. it hurts when you fall out of love, or there is another one who take your place in his heart. No matter how hard you have tried to save the relationship, it would finally end in ugliness, hurting each other. Daisy didn't want their relationship to become like that, it was cruel to her. She had loved him and waited for so many years, she finally got the chance to be near him. She didn't want to lose him. No, she wouldn't let this happen.
Love is selfish. And this was no exception for Daisy. The only difference was that she loved humbly, generously, persistently and sensibly.
Edward's eyelashes suddenly moved. He stuck out his tongue and licked the tender fingers on his lips. 'What is she thinking? She seems lost in thought.' Edward thought.
Daisy awoke from her trance when she suddenly sensed something on her fingers. She looked at his mischievous face and forgot to breathe. She immediately blushed.
"Oh, you're awake." Daisy took back her hand and looked away in embarrassment. She didn't know how to hide that she was flustered.
"Yes. Did you think you could get into my car that easily?" Edward replied with a cunning smile. As soon as she reached the car door, he unlocked it. Did she really think that he had fallen asleep? 'I almost never do that, and certainly not with people around.' Edward thought. He had a highly-developed sense of his surroundings. It's never good to be taken by surprise. This was why even a gentle touch on the car door would awake him.
"You woke up earlier. But why didn't you say anything?" Daisy asked and stared at him in annoyance. Thinking of what she did just now, she blushed even more.
"If I said anything, how could I know that my lovely wife is so interested in my handsome face? What do you think? Do you like it?" Edward said without the slightest bit of shame. He turned his head this way and that to give her a better look at his jawline. He took his handsome looks for granted, just like everything.
"Yes. After examining it, I come to the conclusion that only your face is good-looking. The rest of your body is nothing special to me." Edward had read her mind. But she didn't feel irritated. She began to tease him.
"What? Look closely. My figure is super hot. Don't you see it?" said Edward. No one had ever insulted his appearance this way. He had always been proud of his handsome figure. But now it was nothing to Daisy? He was furious.
"Huh! I can't see it. I think any one of the soldiers trained by me is stronger than you." Daisy said and laughed. She just made fun of him off the top of her head. She didn't think Edward would have that reaction. So she decided to continue teasing him.
Daisy, how can you compare me with those rude soldiers? I'm a gentleman!" said Edward. He had the urge to strangle her now. He was so angry that his face went red. 'How could she compare me with a soldier? Are her soldiers as handsome as me? Are they as beautiful and talented as me? Or do they have handsome figure? Huh! How could she say they're strong? They are all stocky and rough men. How dare she compare them with me?
Why are you so upset? Your voice is deafening. What's wrong with my soldier boys? Do they annoy you? Then you shouldn't despised them. I'm a soldier you know. And I know they are all better and hotter than you. Daisy raised her eyebrows and smiled. It was better to make him irritated now. So she would not feel embarrassed.
Daisy! Are you trying to make me angry? Edward said, narrowing his dangerous eyes. He gnash his teeth and looked at Daisy. She was smiling gracefully. Do I really look so bad? So now, I'm the one being teased. That's fine,. But she have the insolence, the arrogance to say that the soldiers are hotter than me. I need to teach her a good lesson. She's constantly testing my limits. Edward thought. She needs to know when to stop.
