At this moment, Edward knew that he really fell in love with her. He had never experienced such feelings before. His heart wrenched at the feeling -- it was miserable. As he approached the army base his thoughts grew more tangled.
'What if she's not there? Even if she is at the base, what do I do if I'm not allowed in?' thought Edward. Endless questions filled his brain, making him lose his mind. This was unlike the master strategist, the smiling tiger CEO. But business and love are two different beasts.
The car rolled to a stop at the gates of the army base. Looking at the powerful solders standing guard, he never hated who he was as much as today. He suddenly had a thought that it would be wonderful if he were a common soldier, so he wouldn't be kept outside.
He dialed Daisy's number again, but the answer was still the same. Her phone was turned off. He sneered, bitterness clenched his heart. 'Daisy, didn't you promise that you'd trust me under any circumstances? You jumped to conclusions without even giving me a chance to explain. Is it because that you don't care about me at all? Or do you regret the decision you made before?
Daisy, do you know how disappointed I feel when you walked away? You ignore all the love and care I've showed to you. What about the love that we've shared? You are special, different from other women. I really trusted you to keep your promise, that no matter what happens, you would wait for my explanation. But the promise you made couldn't even withstand this small test, ' thought Edward.
He narrowed his eyes and tapped quickly on the cellphone with his fingers, lines of words quickly formed a message. As soon as he finished the final word, he immediately tapped 'send' and waited for the message to be sent. He had time, so he could be patient. He put his cellphone on the seat next to him and slowly rolled down the car window. The heat from outside hit him all at once, like a blast, and immediately he could feel himself sweating.
He gently pushed the door open and got out of the car. He leaned on the vehicle in a graceful manner, like a lazy leopard. He gazed firmly at the majestic gates of the army base. His relaxed gesture was very charming and disarming. He looked good doing it. But the soldiers standing on each side of the gate were so annoying. Edward wished they had never existed.
