"Are you feeling better? I'll take you outside for a walk. It's good for your recovery, " Edward said to Daisy. Shuttling back and forth between home and the military base every day, Daisy hardly had time for herself. Edward wanted her to take some time off to get a good rest.
"Outside? Isn't Justin coming over?" Daisy raised her head and looked at Edward with a hint of excitement on her face. She seldom had the chance to stroll about the streets and shop with him. Despite the military uniform, she was just an ordinary woman who looked forward to going out hand in hand with the man she loved.
"We can have the chauffeur drive him to the city center. Then I'll show you and Justin around the city. What do you think?" Edward felt guilty about leaving Daisy and Justin all alone in the past. He had missed years of taking care of Justin and fulfilling his responsibility as a father. His deep feeling of guilt had become mental shackles that he couldn't escape.
But don't you have to go to the office today?" Daisy kept asking him about this today. Although she loved having him around, she didn't want him to put work aside for her. It wasn't her intention. All she wanted was to hold a spot in his heart. He didn't have to think about her all the time, but she wanted to be the first one he thought of at the most critical moment.
"Honey, are you worried that I won't make enough money to support you if I don't go to work?" Edward asked as he picked clothes for her. As a man with broad experience, he
knew what kind of clothes suited her best. "Humph, me? I don't need your support. Actually, I don't have to count on any man, " Daisy replied. She twisted her mouth scornfully at Edward's remark. When it came to arrogance, she had always been the best. She wouldn't let Edward get the upper hand.
Good. Then if the FX International Group went out of business, could I count on you?" Edward burst into laughter and shook his head. Daisy was like a hedgehog covered with sharp spikes. Once being pushed, she would fight back immediately. No matter who her opponent was, she needed to be the toughest one. It was her means of self-preservation, it was all she had.
"No, I wouldn't support you. If that happens one day, it would prove that you are a wastrel. I'd kick you out right away. If you can make such a big company go bankrupt, then anything's possible. You might also make me lose my home one day. I don't want to become homeless and end up on the streets, "
Daisy said seriously, her hand under her jaw. She looked up at Edward's tall figure with a mischievous look in her eyes, but her heart was filled with happiness. She wasn't actually serious. Even if he lost everything one day, she would still feel the same about him. All that mattered to her was Edward. As long as he loved her, she would keep her pledge of eternal love to him and share weal and woe with him.
Since you have the heart to do it, I'm fine with it. But I'm afraid you would hold onto me and wouldn't let me go if that happens." Edward chose a monochromatic jumpsuit for Daisy. He believed its simple and graceful style fit her aloof personality. She would look stunning in it and attract a lot of attention.
"I can assure you that my hands are used to hold guns. The police are the ones who would 'hold onto' people, and I'm not one of them. Turn around. I'm going to change." Daisy took the jumpsuit from Edward. She was shy by nature. Although they'd slept together, she was still too shy to strip herself in front of him.
Maybe you could stay cool and calm if it was another man, but we're talking about me. There are a lot of men in the world, but there's only one me. Would you still be willing to let me go?" Edward gazed at her mischievously. There were a lot of beautiful women in the world, but there was only one Daisy for him, the one he loved ardently.
"Isn't that good? Then I can find out how it feels to be in love with another man; if my heart will race uncontrollably when I'm with him; if it will hurt unbearably to see him kissing another woman; if it will suffice for me to look at him from afar when I can't be at his side; if I won't care whether he loves me or not, as long as he lets me love him."
This was how she felt for Edward, her deep feelings from the bottom of her heart. She wasn't sure if she could love another man as humbly and firmly as she loved Edward. She didn't think it was possible. Daisy was a traditional woman, whose love was pure and innocent.
"Woman, are you reminding me of how badly I treated you in the past? Or are you trying to embarrass me?" Edward sighed and suddenly took her in his arms. He couldn't find any excuse to refute her accusations. His heart ached. He vowed, 'Daisy, I'll follow you everywhere in the future. You don't have to keep pace with me anymore."
Daisy wasn't used to being the kind of person who would play coy. But as time elapsed, she enjoyed the feeling of being embraced by Edward. His love warmed her heart. She was thankful for having this fantastic man. Unconsciously, she had become attached to the feeling of being spoiled in his arms. She realised that she had turned into a person she disliked, but what about Edward? Did he like the new her? Did he regret falling in love with her?
