Daisy smiled gently and said nothing more. Under the given circumstance, they had to be very careful. Any error on their part could cost their only chance to get out of here. They couldn't afford that kind of mistake.
"You look leisured." Jessica came, followed by Hero and others. She stood at the door with a smile and her arms crossed over her chest.
"Didn't you bring us here to enjoy a leisure time? You have done all this because you have too much time," Daisy sneered. Jealous women were vicious. Jessica had done all kinds of crazy things out of jealousy. Daisy wondered whether she thought about the baby when she was doing all those things. Didn't she worry that her radical actions might harm the baby?
Say whatever you like now. You'll cry later." Jessica smiled in disapproval. She just had to wait a little bit longer. Once Hero was gone, she could do whatever she wanted to do to get back at this arrogant, rude woman.
"I'm afraid I will have to let you down. Soldiers sweat and bleed, but they don't cry, especially in front of scumbags like you." Daisy stretched her limbs to find that she still hadn't regained her strength. She was worried, wondering what drug they had made her drink and why its effect hadn't gone away yet.
"Colonel Ouyang is not only good at martial arts but also very eloquent. That's quite a mouth you have. I'm impressed." Hero clapped his hands. He felt more and more attracted to Daisy.
"I'm sorry to hear that. I shouldn't have attracted the attention of an animal like you." Daisy was disgusted by the admiring look on Hero's face. She was trying to provoke him.
"Huh! You want to irritate me? I'm not that petty-minded. On the contrary, I love the way you are when you get angry. I thought you were always aloof. Now, I see you have other sides too. I'm even more interested in you." Hero expressed his adoration for Daisy in front of the others. It seemed that his feelings were real. However, his love was selfish. Since it was imposed on her, it would only bring her harm.
Just like every other man, Hero's eyes lit up too when he saw Daisy. Jessica bit her lip angrily. She felt envious. She was more beautiful than Daisy. But men were always more attracted to Daisy, just because she was aloof. Jessica couldn't understand it and wouldn't ever admit her defeat.
"You're a pervert. I've seen shameless men, but I've never seen someone like you who asks for insults." Justin rolled his eyes at Hero. Her mom would only be with Edward. Other men had to go away. This guy had the nerve to steal his mom from Edward. He was just an ugly moron.
"Haha. I like this little guy. He's just as rebellious as me when I was a kid. He even looks like me." Oddly, Hero didn't get mad at Justin but smiled at him. One had to say he was really good-tempered. Or perhaps he liked Justin solely because of Daisy.
It was all bullshit, Justin said to himself. He was handsome because he took after his father, Edward. But Hero looked like a toad. How could he possibly look like him?
"Grandpa, it's not your fault that you're ugly, but you shouldn't say that I look like you. That's insulting. Look carefully. This face is from the Mu family. It's a Mu copyright," Justin said with pride, like a guard of the Mu blood.
"Hmph! You're not Edward's only child. I'm carrying his second child." Jessica gloated. She always believed the baby she was carrying was Edward's. Doubts once flashed to her mind briefly, but she denied them all very quickly.
Does my father admit it is his child? I don't think so. Then how can you be sure it's my daddy's?" Justin looked at Jessica's belly with disdain. He didn't have a problem with the baby. He just didn't like her harassing his dad so much.
"Don't you worry. He'll accept this baby sooner or later." Jessica thought Edward would have no choice but to accept the baby after it was born. Doing a DNA test was very easy nowadays.
"God bless you with your wishes. I hope the truth won't be too harsh for you to bear," Justin said wittily. He sounded generous while making a clear-cut stand.
"You!" Jessica pointed at Justin. She was too angry to speak. Looking at the smug expression on Justin's face, she suddenly gave a cunning smile and asked,
Kiddo, want a bet?"
"No way! Grandma, are you trying to coax a kid into doing an illegal activity?" Justin lifted his chin, staring intensely at Jessica. He was dealing with a sly woman. He had to be on guard against her.
Are you afraid?" Jessica pursued. He was a kid after all. How smart could he be?
"That's absurd. Why would I be afraid? What do you want to bet on?" Justin wondered what game she was playing.
"My baby, of course. If it is Edward's, you and your mom will leave the Mu's villa forever. If it is not, too bad, because you and your mom might never be able to go back home this time."
Jessica snickered with her hand covering her mouth, pretending to be refined. She kept stealing glances at Daisy while she was speaking to Justin.
Jessica, you're pure evil. You are using your unborn baby as a tool to get what you want. What kind of mother are you? Do you even love Edward?" Daisy hated it when people used their children as chips in negotiation. She despised what Jessica was doing.
"Daisy, can you swear that you have never used your son to get to Ed? Come on! In this respect, you're more despicable than me." Jessica looked at Daisy in contempt. She didn't believe that Daisy never used Justin to get Edward's attention.
Daisy's lips trembled. But words were frozen on them. She wasn't sure if Edward had taken interest in her because of Justin. He hadn't even recognized her when she took Justin to his office that day. It seemed Justin was indeed the key to their reunion. Words dried up. She didn't know how to retort to Jessica's remarks.
Seeing Daisy's silence, Jessica went unbridled. She then said with a sense of victory in her voice, "Running out of words? You always think highly of yourself, don't you? But you're actually just a phony.
Jessica, my silence doesn't mean I am accepting every bullshit you are putting my way. There was nothing wrong for me to take my son to his father. I only wanted him to meet him. We were and are still married. If I have ever used Justin, it might have happened only accidentally. I wouldn't ever go around betting on my unborn child.
