"Oh, I'm fine. I'm sorry. I was just in a daze." Daisy gave a bitter smile. She was sitting in her husband's restaurant, but she had no idea about it until someone else told her about it. She felt bad.
Are you thinking about Edward?" Leena joked with a mischievous smile.
No. You're reading too much into it." Daisy blushed and drank some water hurriedly to cover her embarrassment.
"Look at your face. It is all pink. What are you embarrassed about?" Leena kept joking, looking lively and stunning.
"Speaking of which, don't you miss Kevin?" Daisy took a deep breath and asked casually.
Leena was surprised by the question and didn't know how to reply to that. Whether she missed him or not, did it really matter to Kevin? He didn't love her after all.
"Sis, why are we talking about me all of a sudden?" Leena felt a trace of sadness in her heart. When did she start to care about him?
Even if you do, there's nothing wrong with it. As you just pointed out, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Daisy gave a smile and retorted with Leena's exact words.
"I'm in a different situation from yours." Leena pursed her lips. She started to think Daisy had invited her to dinner to crack jokes about her married life.
"Different how? We are both married couples." Daisy suddenly paused. She remembered the conversation she had with Kevin once. She felt sorry and looked at Leena guiltily.
"Just different. Forget it. Let's drop it and enjoy the food here." At this point, the waiter served some dishes. Leena felt relieved and changed the subject immediately.
"I'm not a picky eater." Daisy sensed that something was wrong between Leena and Kevin. She tried to get more information, but Leena was obviously not in the mood to continue the subject, so Daisy didn't push it further.
"Actually I'm not a picky eater either. I just feel like treating myself to a nice luxurious meal once in a while." Leena was a fun loving girl. She knew how to enjoy and live life to the fullest. She had good taste, which was neither too simple nor too gaudy.
"Don't you worry about putting on weight?" Daisy smiled gently. Most girls were constantly bothering about their weight. However, she didn't think that skinny was sexy. In her idea, being plump was much better.
"Haha. I never get fat, no matter how much I eat. I think God loves me." Leena giggled, feeling pretty good about herself. While other people were dieting to lose a few pounds, she could eat heartily without gaining even an ounce of weight.
"Look at you. You're married but still act like a child." It sounded like Daisy was blaming her. But her eyes were filled with affection.
"Sis, do I really act like a child?" Leena's eyes darkened. Was that why Kevin was not interested in her? The idea triggered a series of wild speculations in her head.
"Not really. At least your body is mature." Daisy comforted her. Her eyes were sharp. She immediately noticed Leena's sudden frustration. It was possible that the feelings Kevin had for Daisy only developed because of the mutual concern for each other during work. Maybe it was not love at all. Despite it not being Daisy's fault, she still felt guilty every time she saw the trust in Leena's eyes.
"What you said sounds weird." Leena tried to make sense out of Daisy's words, but she couldn't. She didn't realize that Daisy was behaving like Edward now.
"How come? Don't read between the lines. You just said the food here was fabulous. So let's eat and forget the rest." Daisy snickered. No wonder Edward enjoyed playing tricks on people. It felt great.
"That's true. Edward hired these chefs from around the world. He pays them real good money. They are the best in the world."
Daisy successfully changed the subject. Again, Leena started talking about how great the food was and totally forgot what they were talking about a minute ago.
"In my opinion, Edward is a sly businessman. The food here is way too expensive for common people. Now this restaurant has become a place where rich people come to show off their wealth." The thought of the extravagant clothes in MY Mall gave Daisy chills. The meal tonight would cost a lot too. Everything related to FX International was about luxury.
"Daisy, what a coincidence! We meet again so soon." A coquettish voice rose and broke the sweetness at the table. Standing in front of them was a woman with heavy makeup.
Mary, it's you." Daisy was annoyed. For Brian's sake, she had asked Edward to be easy on Mary last time. Unexpectedly, she still hadn't learnt her lesson even after that horrible incident. Now here she was, picking on Daisy again. It seemed Daisy had been too merciful to her.
Are you surprised to see me?" Mary reached her hand to straighten her askew wig and glowered at Daisy. It was all because of that little bastard Justin. Now she couldn't walk out of door without a wig.
"Of course not. This is a public place. Everybody can come here." Daisy said indifferently. She lowered her eyes, showing no interest in talking to her. "Are you disappointed to see me not being as miserable as you wanted me to be?" Mary extended her hand and started to twist the diamond ring she was wearing on purpose, gloating.
"Why should I give a damn about how you are? You should thank Brian. He's a good brother. If it wasn't for him, you wouldn't be able to stand in front of me today." Given the uniform she was wearing, Daisy kept her voice low. But anger was still written all over her face.
Huh! Daisy, have you lost your mind? Do I know him? He's only your dear brother!" Mary was laughing so hysterically that tears wet her eyes. She wiped the corners of her eyes. She had sincerely treated Brian as a baby brother all her life. What saddened her was that he never liked her and had abandoned her when she needed him the most. What kind of brother did that?
No matter what, you got lucky this time because of him. Treasure him. Daisy shook her head. So far, the only thing she could do was to remind Mary to behave. She hope she could come to her senses. If she did anything stupid again, no one would be able to help her next time.
I don't care! As you can see, I can live a comfortable life even after leaving the Ouyang's house. So, save the crocodile tears of yours! Who do you think you are to preach me? Mary glared at Daisy, who stayed calm. After the abduction, although Mary was still unwilling to give up, all she could do was trash talking, she wouldn't dare to lay a finger on Daisy now.
