"There are so many people here. I wouldn't be surprised if some staff happened to be hanging around us." Daisy was embarrassed and blushed. What Edward had said had never occurred to her. She had taken the people around them for visitors, whose family happened to be interested in the same projects as Justin. Since this was the first time they had come out of the house and had fun as a family, Daisy paid all her attention to Edward and Justin. She had ignored everything else. Edward had been right. It was an unacceptable mistake for a military officer.
I wonder how you have earned your current position with such a low IQ." Edward had made fun of Daisy like this before. Practice made perfect. He was getting better and better at saying it. Only he got a kick at the shin this time.
"Hard to say. Have a wild guess. Maybe I used my beauty and charm to get it." Daisy smiled. She had said that intentionally to piss Edward off.
"Beauty and charm? Are you sure you have them? You're as cold as an ice house. Men are terrified by you." Edward believed it, so he didn't get jealous hearing Daisy's words. Actually he trusted Daisy not to do something like that.
Edward, how come you aren't scared away by me?" Daisy rolled her eyes and pouted, pretending to be mad. She was more like a spoiled child than an angry woman.
"It proves only one thing. I'm much bolder than others." Here came the conceit again. But Edward was qualified to be conceited.
I don't think I'll have any more fun today. Because I've been standing here listening to you teasing each other, like forever." Justin was still looking at the mega drop tower. The more challenging the thing was, the more interested he was. That was why he was able to usher FX International into a new era in the future. However, his relationships with women would be full of twists and turns, because he would choose a hot-tempered woman to pursue, which was like a new challenge to him.
Hearing Justin's complaint, Edward and Daisy looked at each other and smiled. They had totally forgotten about him. And he was the one that started them down that road. Justin should work on his skill to make his presence felt, in case his parents forgot about him again.
"You can try everything else except that one." Daisy compromised. She stuck to her principles anyway.
"Yeah! I know mommy is the best. Let's go!" Justin started running excitedly. Edward twitched his mouth resignedly. Since they had been there for half a day, he had thought Justin would have gotten tired by now, so that he could get out of the heat as soon as possible. However, Justin seemed to be getting more and more excited. For a second, Edward thought perhaps he should close the amusement park so as not to relive this kind of torture again.
By afternoon, Justin had almost tried every ride in the park, from the Spider down to the carnival games where you tried to knock bottles over with a ball. Edward felt so hot that he grabbed a bottle of ice water as soon as he got in the car. He was about to gulp it down when it was snatched away.
"There's plenty of bottled water in the freezer. Why did you have to take mine?" Edward sighed and reached for another bottle in the freezer, but Daisy took it away too.
"Drink this." Sensing Edward was going to get mad, Daisy smiled and handed him a bottle of cold water.
"I want ice water." They came here in a camper. There was everything in it. Otherwise, Edward would have thought Daisy was trying to make him die of thirst.
"You are still recovering. Ice water does you no good. You should pay more attention to your diet to help you heal," Daisy said as she opened the bottle for him, avoiding the angry light in his eyes.
"Believe me. Right now I'm strong enough to eat you up," Edward said and didn't mind Justin's presence at all.
Should I excuse myself?" Justin asked, blinking. A sly smile appeared in his big eyes when he found that his dad was so angry but he couldn't do anything about his mom.
What do you think, kiddo?" Every time they were together, Edward was amused and angered at the same time. He started to feel that Daisy and Justin meant to make him angry, that they teamed up on him on purpose. But he couldn't just ignore them like he had ignored the others.
The RV is big enough, but daddy, don't you think this is a bad place for you to do it with mom? You should find somewhere quiet and secluded. Not in public. It's bad for both your reps," Justin said earnestly, as if he knew a lot about sex.
Justin, no computer for you from now on!" Daisy said seriously. She felt awful. How could a kid say something like that? Should she blame society? Had she failed as a parent? She always knew that Justin was smarter than other kids, but she couldn't allow him to learn about things beyond his age. In a word, she thought it was a problem caused by the Internet which was developing faster than ever. Therefore, Daisy decided to take away his computer until he could realize exactly what he had done wrong.
