"Then you can take a guess on how I answered." Suddenly, Daisy's aloof attitude changed and a teasing smile broke across her cold face. It must be fun to play a joke with Edward.
"I know how you answered, of course. There's no need to guess. You must have said you love your husband very much and you will die if your husband discards you." Though Edward spoke that as a joke, he indeed got the point.
"You are confident of my love toward you, aren't you? How can you be so sure that I will die without you?" Daisy didn't get angry. She just cast a glance at Edward and then lowered her head down. What mattered was not the conversation between her and Hero, but the things Edward said just now. Yes, she loved this man very much, with heart and soul. She loved Edward so much that she had no reason to refute his seemingly joking truth and his confidence in her love toward him.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Daisy. I got it wrong. I will die if you discard me. So, please close your eyes now. I have a gift for you." Edward never hid his love toward Daisy in front of her. He was willing to speak it out and show it whenever he got even a slightest chance. In Edward's opinion, there was no need to conceal the true feeling if you were truly in love with somebody. The right way was to follow your heart and love the one you wanted to love.
What is it?" Daisy felt happy. She seldom received gifts from Edward before. Daisy was not a shallow woman who worshiped money, but she still expected some romantic gestures and surprises from her husband every now and then.
"Close your eyes now." Edward looked at Daisy with infinite tenderness and helped her close her eyes with his hand. Then he took out the tiny box from his pocket that he had been carrying around for the whole night.
Daisy followed Edward's instruction and closed her eyes. She bit her lip to smell Edward's jasmine scent that she was already very familiar with. Then she felt something cold being put on her ring finger. Her heart beat fastened and a thought struck in her head.
"All right, it's okay. Now, slowly open your eyes, Daisy." Edward raised Daisy's hand and kissed it. How he wished to put on that ring on Daisy's finger! It finally happened now! That ring represented their eternal love for each other, and would witness their love for each other until the end of their lives.
"Why do you give this to me?" Daisy's eyes became red with the tears welling up in her eyes. This ring was precious. But Daisy viewed it as precious only because of the unusual significance it had and not because of the price at which it was bought. Although she and Edward had been married for a long time, she always felt insecure for reasons she could not tell. It dawned upon her that all her uncertainty and insecurity was because of the lack of a wedding ring. There was no denying that she longed for a wedding ring all this while. The ring was a representation of their love, and served as a tangible testament of their marriage. Daisy didn't care whether the ring was valuable or not. She did care about the reasons why Edward finally decided to put that ring on her finger.
"Please put this one on my finger too, Dasiy." Edward handed over another ring in his hand to Daisy, and stretched out his slender fingers. Daisy's hands trembled. She took a deep breath to pacify herself, and finally put the ring on Edward's finger slowly and carefully. That's enough. They didn't need a bunch of people to witness the bonding of their hearts. This was their own private moment. Both of them had been dreaming of this precious moment for a long time, and it was finally there. They didn't mind whether there was a blessing from other people or not, as long as they loved each other.
"Honey, thank you for everything you have done for me. I like this ring very much." Daisy could restrain her feeling no further, and dashed into Edward's arms. She was so touched that she indulged herself in a hearty sob. Her crystal-like tears dropped from her eyes and Edward's clothes got a little wet. She was, after all, an ordinary woman who also longed for romantic moment with her lover. Although Daisy had no idea how expensive the ring was, she felt really happy on seeing Edward's true love for her.
"I'm sorry, Daisy. I got you this ring a little too late." Edward held Daisy tightly in his arms. He didn't think of marrying Daisy several years ago, nor did he think of getting a wedding ring for her. Such a great mistake on his part seemed to have been eliminated today. Edward, however, was indeed aware that the pain Daisy had gone through for his sake could never be healed. Remorse filled in Edward's heart. He was willing to do everything to heal Daisy's heart. This desire intensified after he realized how much Daisy had loved him over the past couple of years despite his abandonment. He had forsaken their love. That must have been the greatest injury borne by Daisy.
"No, it's not late, Edward. It will never be late as long as it is you who put the ring on my finger." Daisy was by no means a woman who liked to put forth her emotions. But Edward had done so many things for her recently that she was deeply moved by his acts and even cried a lot. She became so sentimental these days that she no longer seemed to be the cool intelligent female colonel that everyone knew.
"So, now you will be trapped by this ring forever. Will you regret this one day?" Edward said while showering tender kisses on Daisy's crying eyes. He didn't mind to manifest his softest side in front of this woman who he loved the most.
"Will you ever give me any chance to break my promise?" Daisy stared at Edward through the misty tears in her eyes. She clearly felt her heart being softened and subdued by Edward's love.
"Of course not. I can only give you happiness. You will have no time to think of anything like breaking your promises." Edward's kisses never stopped. Tender kisses changed into fervent ones. Daisy was locked in the shower of Edward's kisses, which were all full of love and gentleness. Edward placed soft kisses on Daisy's eyebrows and continued trailing kisses all across her cheeks. Finally, his kisses reached Daisy's lips, which had already turned soft for the pleasureful moment. Edward increased the pace and length of his kisses to go deeper into Daisy's lip to enjoy the right exclusively owned by him.
Daisy fervently responded to Edward's crazy kisses. Her tiny fair hands were quick in undoing the buttons of Edward's black shirt, and her eyes were deeply looking into Edward's eyes. She didn't shift her glance even for a second. They were completely captivated by each other.
Sensing Daisy's passionate response, Edward's body was on fire. He placed his hand into Daisy's clothes to feel her smooth skin. The soft caress triggered the imagination of Daisy's sexy body in Edward's mind. He showered fervent kisses on every part of Daisy that he fancied in his mind. The beautiful neck, her charming collarbone, and the sexy chest...His sexual fire was ignited.
Everything went on perfectly. The air was filled with moans of pleasure. The night manifested its brilliant side in the darkness. Every single word was redundant in expressing the love between the lovers at this moment. The physical contact, the caress, and the kisses were the only things that were needed to quench their sexual thirst. With intoxicating pleasure, both Daisy and Edward started the night in which they solely belonged to each other... Daisy flushed under Edward's body. She felt extremely happy tonight. Both her love and marriage was perfect now. She caressed Edward's back with the fingers on one of which she was wearing the ring.
It sparkled with every movement of Daisy and Edward. The moaning only intensified and got louder and louder.
