Daisy visited the cemetery once again. The different thing about it this time was that besides Justin, Edward also came with her. Daisy's heartbeat pounded in her ears. Today, she would introduce her husband to her mother. Because of her mother's wishes, she ended up marrying her beloved Edward. She thanked her mother for bringing her into this world and arranging a happy marriage for her.
Mom, I bring a very important man with me today. Are you excited? You chose him for me." Daisy gently stroked her mother's portrait with deep affection. There was a touch of melancholy in her eyes, but she displayed a happy smile on her face. Edward was the best present that she wanted to show to her mother.
"Thank you for your deep love for me. Thank you for carefully arranging my life before you passed away. Thank you for your constant attention to every aspect of my life. Thank you for everything you did for me. I know that you don't want my gratitude, but I still want to express my gratefulness for all the things you've done for me. All because I'm your daughter, the little girl you cared most about," Daisy murmured in a choked voice. To prevent the tears from running down her cheeks, she bit her lower lip. She didn't want her mother to see her cry. She just wanted her to see her most beautiful smile. She owed her mother so much. Even after she was gone, she was still taking care of her.
Edward pressed his lips tightly together. He gently placed the bouquet in his hand in front of the tombstone. With a sad look, he slowly knelt down in front of the grave. Daisy's eyes widened in shock at the sight.
"Mom, thank you for bringing Daisy into my life. I know she suffered miserably before we got married. I promise you right now that she'll always be your little princess Jasmine. I vow to love her dearly until my last breath. After all, fate brought us together when we were little."
The expression in Edward's eyes was sincere. Despite his trembling voice, he was resolute in his determination. He had expected that mentioning the name 'Jasmine' would definitely catch Daisy's attention, but he didn't intend to continue concealing it. He wanted to show Daisy that she wasn't alone in loving someone dearly for so many years. He also fell in love with her years before they got married. She was just a young girl back then, but he had been struck by her beauty that he hadn't stopped missing her since they parted ways.
"Honey, what did you say?" Daisy was in great shock. This was the second time that Edward had shocked her with his actions today. She looked at his fascinating silhouette with uncertainty. She didn't expect him to kneel down. He was such a proud and noble man, but he did so without hesitation. Although she was surprised, Daisy felt grateful towards him. Edward loved and respected her and respected her mother just as much.
"You heard me, Jasmine." Edward slowly stood up after kowtowing to the tombstone a few times. He stared at Daisy who looked at him in complete astonishment. Daisy was an experienced colonel. She always remained calm because no difficulty was too much for her. But Edward left her in great shock twice today. She found it hard to restrain her emotions after he moved her so much with his actions.
"Did we meet each other when we were young? I can hardly remember anything about it." Despite the hopeful look on her face, Daisy was uncertain because there was no such memory in her recollection.
"But I remember it clearly. I'll protect you this time, okay? I still owe you a story, remember?" Edward stared at Daisy, wondering how she would react. He still remembered how the story upset her last time.
Is it related to K City?" Daisy thought of the city full of the sweet scent of jasmine flowers and the name of the hotel with a profound meaning. The city carried the wonderful memory of a beautiful girl that Edward could never forget.
Yes. Do you know why I named the hotel Jasmine Fragrance? When I first met you, you were holding jasmine flowers in your hands. The faint scent of the jasmine slowly reached me through the breeze. You looked up at me with a flushed face and asked me if I knew what the flowers were called."
Edward looked into the distance, his eyes sparking brightly. He was completely immersed in the memory. The image of their first meeting seemed to conjure itself in front of him. Back then, her appearance brought him hope despite the fact that she had interrupted him. Hearing her tender voice, he was shocked to realize that he still had many things to do.
If the little girl hadn't stopped him, he would have chosen to climb to the top of the mountain and jump down. If she sealed his lips with a gentle kiss, he would have died. If she hadn't asked him to wait for her, he would have left everything in the world behind.
Are you telling me that I was that little girl? Are you sure?" Daisy asked with uncertainty. How was that possible? Although she had good luck recently, she didn't think that she could forget such a memory.
"I'm pretty sure. Don't you find some places in K City familiar? Like the pavilion in the forest park." Although Edward said that Daisy didn't need to remember their first meeting, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart. He wanted her to remember him. This might be his hope as a proud man. He wanted to be unique in the heart of the person he loved.
That pavilion halfway up the mountain?" Daisy looked at Edward with amazement. No wonder she found it familiar when she saw it. Had she really been there as Edward said? But why didn't she have any memory of it?
"Yes. Right there. I remember some bold girl flirting with me at a very young age." Thinking of the consequence of that unexpected kiss made Edward shake his head helplessly. Jasmine had kissed him at the time. From then on, he couldn't bear another woman touching his lips, not until Daisy appeared.
Nonsense! Do think that you can slander me just because I can't remember what you're talking about. I am never a flirt! More importantly, I like handsome men. Were you handsome when you were a child?" Daisy instantly blushed. She didn't believe that she would kiss an older boy when she was a young girl.
"You just said that you can't remember it. Then how can you say that you didn't do it? It's clearly obvious that I was a cute and handsome child. That's why I'm so stunning now." As Edward fixed his eyes on Grace's warm smile, he decided from the bottom of his heart that he would love Daisy ardently for the rest of his life no matter what happened.
Dad, you're a liar! Mom is shy. She wouldn't take the initiative to get close to a boy." Justin had been quietly listening to his parents and finally expressed his opinion. In his heart, he had to protect his mom. It was natural for him to take her side.
"Your mom only became shy after all the suffering she endured. She was bold back when she was a little girl. Son, don't talk about things you don't know about." Edward waved his hand in an attempt to shut his son up.
"I agree with Justin on this. I don't admit that I have a congenitally bad gene. If you want to discredit me, you'd better find a better excuse." To be honest, Daisy wasn't sure if she really did that in the past. But because she didn't want Edward to tease her afterwards, she denied it.
