"Jesus Christ! Does God want me to die?" Rain walked out despondently without arguing further. He was desperate and decided to figure out a solution to deal with the manager in Thailand.
"What's wrong with him?" Daisy asked in surprise. She wondered why Rain was so pissed off that he stormed out of the room.
He is just being silly, due to a lovesick." Edward stood up and stretched out his arms. He pulled Daisy closer. She had such a tall and slender figure.
"Oh. What are you doing? We are making a scene in your building and being stared at by your employees," Daisy said hesitantly. She shot a stealthy glance toward the door, relieved when she found the door closed. She was not accustomed to being hugged and kissed by her husband in public places.
"I haven't done anything embarrassing. I'm just embracing my dear wife. Do you want me to do something else instead?" Edward asked her. He grinned and bit his lips softly, tantalizing Daisy.
"Don't be vulgar." Daisy flushed with embarrassment. His open remarks and conducts always mortified her, even though it was only her husband suggesting them.
I am only vulgar about it to you, my darling." Edward lowered his head, cupping Daisy's face in his hands as he kissed her. He didn't intend to start anything. However, Daisy melted in his arms, anticipating Edward's actions. At the same time, she was afraid that someone might enter the room unexpectedly and run into them.
I must be very unlucky to be the victim of your obscenity." Daisy squirmed out of his arms and walked away. She sank into a couch that sat in the corner of the room, feeling fatigued after being all day in the court.
Darling, obscenity is an inappropriate word for ladies. It is being widely used on the internet and has diverse meanings." Edward smiled wryly. He came over to sit down beside her. Daisy seemed to be in a bad mood today.
"Oh. I'm rather ignorant of what goes on on the Internet," Daisy answered listlessly. She rested her head on Edward's shoulder, happy to have her husband around whenever she was upset.
"What's wrong? How was your day at work?" Edward asked in concern. He pouted and pulled her closer to himself.
Hero received a long jail sentence. I saw it happen in the court today," Daisy answered sadly. Daisy was a credible soldier and knew that being emotional did her no good. However, she had become acquainted with Hero and truly felt miserable for his fate.
"I see. How many years?" He kissed her forehead gently, glad that she had told him what was on her mind. It meant that she considered him as a reliable lover and husband. He clearly had become a necessary element in her life.
He faces a twenty-year sentence. Since he was not involved with the nuclear weapons, he got off with a relatively ." Spending twenty years in prison would make anybody feel like they were in hell. Hero would be an old man by the time he finished his sentence and got discharged.
That's too long. At least he will be able to live, even in a stinking prison." Edward finally knew why Hero had tried to commit suicide. A proud man like him would never want to be imprisoned in darkness, with his hands and feet chained. A quick death seemed better to him. Maybe that was exactly what had been in Hero's mind when he tried to end his life so ruthlessly.
"You are right. I hope he can repent for his sins and behave himself in prison. He might get an abatement in his penalty." She had not seen any of Hero's friends or family in the court. She certainly pitied his long sentence, but that was what you got when you broke the law and threatened the security of the nation and its people.
Don't worry. He already attempted suicide once. He survived and realized the importance of life. Trust me on this: he will manage to live in that prison."
Edward had mixed feelings about Daisy being upset about the destiny of another man. However, when he tried to put himself in Daisy's shoes, he understood how she felt. She was a soft-hearted and sympathetic woman, after all. So Edward decided to be magnanimous, although he would have preferred that Daisy didn't feel about Hero this way. Few men were as generous as Edward when it came to their wives.
"I hope so. Let's forget him for now. Darling, would you like to take a walk with me outside?" Daisy smiled breezily. She leaned against Edward's broad shoulder and raised her head to look at his perfect face.
"Are you kidding? I'll come with you wherever you want to go." Edward tapped her upturned nose gently. He loved her girlish charm.
"Really? Are you serious? As far as I know, you aren't off duty right now." Daisy smiled. She had just blurted out her wish, although she didn't intend to interrupt his work.
You rarely ask for anything from me. I have to do as I'm told. Now get up!" Edward pulled Daisy to her feet. Wherever she wanted to go, he would go with her, no matter how difficult it might be to do so.
"Edward, you're so nice to me." Daisy stood on her tiptoes and kissed his lips softly. She pulled away before he could do anything else.
"As your husband, I should certainly be nice to you. Who else is supposed to do that?" Edward grabbed his coat and cell phone, leaving his documents on the table. He didn't bother arranging them since Anna would do that for him when he left.
The cool breeze, the sunshine and the fallen leaves were what made autumn so beautiful. However, Daisy liked its quietness the most. It calmed her down and made her feel at peace.
"I recall that you once came here when you were upset." They held hands and walked down the lane leisurely, between the colorful trees of fall. As a soldier, Daisy felt obliged to avoid walking with her husband on the streets or going shopping when she was wearing her uniform. However, Edward knew that she needed the quiet and solitude right now. That was why he brought her here.
Yes. Nobody notices you even when you are sobbing loudly here," Daisy answered sadly. A slight autumn breeze ruffled her hair, dispelling the sadness and sorrow that were buried deep down in her heart.
So you came here and cried that day." Edward held her hand more tightly. Even now, he remembered the anxiety he had felt for Daisy at that time.
No. I never cried," Daisy said. She evaded Edward's eyes. She would never admit to her husband that she had indeed cried her heart out.
"I remember that day a woman talked to me over the phone, weeping loudly." Edward stared at Daisy with tenderness. He just couldn't get tired of looking at his beloved wife. He could be with her every moment of the day, if it were possible. That way she would never be taken away from him.
"What? Who cried on the phone? Tell me truthfully. Who called you up that day?" asked Daisy in amusement. Suddenly, she ran away from Edward giggling, as care-free and light as the autumn wind.
Edward's gaze followed Daisy's slender figure. He was absorbed in her hearty laugh. He was so elated and content to be living such a life with his beautiful wife.
Edward, hurry up. Or are you too old to catch up with me?" Daisy shouted from a distance. Daisy could be girlish on rare occasions. In the autumn afternoon, she stood with her arms resting on her hips, looking at Edward defiantly.
Darling, don't you know me to be a lion when we are in bed? You think I'd get old? Certainly not. Do you want to get to know my stamina right now?" Edward asked her lewdly. Edward could deftly change a romantic atmosphere into a seductive one.
"Bah! A leopard can't change its spots. Watch your mouth, otherwise as a Colonel, I'll castrate you and turn you into a eunuch." Daisy didn't understand how a gentleman could speak such dirty words so casually and shamelessly as Edward did.
Turn me into a eunuch? I'm sure you'll regret that. Besides, don't forget that you're not a Colonel anymore. Quit trying to scare me." Edward shook his head, seemingly amused at Daisy's words. Her joke wasn't as funny as she intended it to be.
